DEOPPILATIVE, a Remedy proper to foften, refolve, and remove Obfeuaions. See Obstruction.
JDeoppilatives are the fame with what we otherwife call Deobftruents. See Deobstkuent.
DEPART, a Method of refining, or purifying Gold by means of Aqua fortis. See Gold.
There are three Ways of refining Gold ; The firft by An- timony : The fecond by Sublimate : and the third, which s the moft ufual, by Aquafortis. The two'former, fee
e at the Rate thefe they - ..hen fufed, calf them into cold Water, where they become divided into Grains of the Bignefs of Peas. Thefe Grains taken out, and dried by the Fire, are put in a departing Veffel, which is a Stone Ma- trafs, and to the Metal is added 4 Pounds of Aqua fortis. Then taking the Veffel, they fet it on the Coals, and in about an Hours Space, the refining is done. For upon open-

The Germen, or Seed of the Tooth, fays Doleeus, is a flender, mucous Matter, like the White of an Egg, contain'd in the Cells, or Alveoli of the Taw-bone, which grows har- der and bigger every Day, till it be fit to break through the Gum. In this Rupture the poor Child is afflicted with- terrible Symptoms, Inflammations of the Jaws, Gripes, Waking, Inquietude, Terrours, Dejections, Vomiting, Sa- livation, Epilepfy, Abfceffcs, and frequently Death.
There are two Terms, or Periods ofDetitition ; The one, When the Tooth makes its firft Endeavour to get out of the Maxillary Bone, and wherein the outer, and upper Part of the Gum ufes to be incompaffed with a whitifti Circle. The other, when the Tooth, confiderably enlarged in Bulk, renders the Gum tumid, and ftrives with all its Force to break its Way through the fame. The Remedies againft the Symptoms oi Dentition are Abforbents, and gentle Pur- gatives.
DENUNCIATION, a folemn Publication, or Promul- gation of any Thing.
AH VefTels are lawful Prize after 'Denunciation, or Pro- clamation ofWar. See Prize.
The Denunciation of excommunicated Perfons, is, that the Sentence may be the more fully executed, that the Per- fons may be known, the Entrance into the Church refufed them, and that other People may be warned, not to have any Communication with them. See Excommunication.
DEOBSTRUENTS are fuch Medicines as open Ob- flruftions. See Obstruction, and Detergent;
It muft be obferv'd, however, that there is fomething further intimated by Deobfiment, than by Detergent : For a Medicine may be deobflruent^ that is not in the ftricteft Senfe detergent 5 as, in Effect, are moil made of metallic
>, and the Gold reduced into a Calx, or Sand: The Silver being all diffolv'd, and imbibed by the Water.
To raife the Gold to its dueFinenefs, they ufually give it the Aqua forth again, and again ; ufing for the fid* Time, half a Pound 5 and for the fecond, a Quarter of a Pound of the Water, to 8 Ounces of Metal. If the third Water be found good, and clear, the Operation is ended : And the Calx of the Gold being wafli'd in repeated Water, is melted down again in a Crucible, firft by a gentle, and afterwards a ve- hement Fire, to be call into Ingots, or Wedges.
It muft be added, that the Silver, with the Impurities of the Gold, are fo throughly incorporated with the Water* that to the Eye there does not appear any Thing befide the pure Liquid $ yet is not this Silver loit. To recover it again out of the Menfruum, they divide their Stock of Aqua* fortis into fcveral Stone Veffels, which they fill up with Spring Water, obferving to put 7 or 8 times as much of this, as that. This done, in each Veffel they put a Quan- tity of Copper ; and leaving the whole for 24 Hours, at the End thereot they find thcSpirits of the Aqua fortis have quitted the Silver, and are incorporated with the Copper, leaving the former in Form of a Calx, or Afhes at Bottom* This Calx being dried, is melted into an Ingot, with a little Salt-petre.
To husband the Aqu^e fortes, and make them ferve again for a fecond Operation - they diftil them in an Earthen, or Glafs Alembic 5 and when the Dittillation is about a third over, change the Recipient. The Water of the firft Recipient, ferves for the firft Operation ofDepart, and the reft tor the fubfequent ones.
If the Aqua fortis, having quitted the Silver, and being united with the Copper, be then filtrated, it is call'd, Aqua fecunda - 7 In which it you fteep an Iron-Plate fome Hours, you will have another Depart. For the Menftruum will let go the Copper, and prey on the Iron, leaving the Copper in
