    bonate of magnesia, and a gallon of distilled water gradually added. When the sediment has subsided, filter the liquid. [A better method is to rub the oil with ^j of precipitated chalk (Calcis Carbonas Precipitatum) and f ^ij of rectified spirit, and afterwards by degrees, the water. In a few minutes it may be filtered. But Mr. Warrington objects both to magnesia and chalk, as being to some extent soluble; and prefers fine porce- lain clay, or calcined flints; he finds the waters keep better without the addition of spirit.] Aqu^e Spirituos^e. The distilled spirits were formerly so called. See Spiritus. Aquji Medicate. Besides the distilled waters, the following list contains imitations of the principal mineral waters (Aquae Minerales Factitiae); and a few saline solutions, &c, to which the name Aqua is commonly applied, though the L. college now restricts the term to Distilled Waters. Aqua Absinthii. Wormwood tops Ibij, water q. s. Distil Ibiv. Aqua Florum Acacle. As Aq. Rosse, from fresh flowers of Robinia pseudo-acacia. It contains prussic acid. Zeller. Aqua Acetatis Ammonite. E. See Liquor Ammoniae Acetatis. Aqua Acidi Carbonici. U. S. Aqua Aerata. Water charged by pressure with 5 times its volume of carbonic acid gas. Aqua Acidula Alkalina. See Liquor Potassae Effervescens; and Liq. Sodas Effervescens. Aqua Aere Orbata. Water deprived of air by boiling, and cooled in close vessels. It should always be used in preparing sulphuretted and chalybeate waters; and is preferable for those containing carbonic acid gas. Aqua JEtherea. Eau Etheree. P. Mix 1 part of aether with 8 of water; agitate frequently in a bottle with a ground stopper; let it rest 24 hours, separate the supernatant aether, and keep the water for use. Aqua ^Etherea Camphorata. Camphor 3ij, aether Jvj, dis- tilled water f ^xv. Dissolve the camphor in the aether, and add the water. Shake the mixture occasionally, and in 24 hours decant, or draw off the water as required. Aqua Albuminosa. White of 2 eggs, water ibij. Beat up the whites with a little of the water, and add the rest. Strain through a sieve. As an antidote for corrosive sublimate.
