appears the better is the AETHER; but
if none appears, or not enough to cover the surface of the Mixture, it
was either adulterated, or not well rectified. If to this Mixture of
AETHER and Water you add a little _Salt of Tartar_, and any
Fermentation ensues, the AETHER was not well rectified. Upon
shaking briskly a Phial containing AETHER, if the Bubbles, or Proof
as they are usually called, do not disappear in less Time, and in larger
Bubbles, than any other Liquor, (the Vinous Alcohol perhaps excepted)
'tis not Genuine.
It is the more necessary to observe these Rules of proving the Quality
of the AETHER, as the imperfect Sorts have been found to disagree
with the Stomach, and produce other bad Effects, besides disappointing
the Patient's Expectation. The AETHER that has the foremention'd

Properties, (for there are Preparations sold by the same name, which are
very imperfect Imitations of it) is made and sold by M. TURNER,
Surgeon, in Liverpool. The Ounce Phial _two Shillings_; the Half
Ounce one Shilling. The Phials are square; the Word AETHER,
inscribed on one Side, and M. TURNER on the opposite, and sealed
with a Lion gardant, &c. Proper Abatement will be made to Druggists,
Apothecaries, or the Gentlemen of the Faculty who use any
considerable Quantity. To prevent it's escape and loss, a small Quantity
of Water is put into each Phial, which should be kept with the Cork
downwards, by which Means the AETHER is prevented, by the
interposition of the Water, from evaporating.

The Publisher has also appointed it to be sold by Mr. _R. Board_,
Chemist and Druggist, in _Grace-church-street_; and Mr. _J. Wilkie_,
Bookseller, at the Bible in St. _Paul's_ Churchyard, LONDON: and Mr.
_Peter Wilson_, Bookseller, in _Dame-street_, DUBLIN.
