There- fore thefe being Solid, and confe- quently containing a confiderable Quantity of Matter, do both attraSl one another more, and are alfo more attraSl ed by the Particles of the Bo¬ dy, which is to be diffolv’d. For this is one of the Laws of AttraSlion, viz. 'That if the dijlances be equal, dis proportional to the quantity of matter contain d in the AttraSl ive Particles. So that when the more So¬ lid Bodies are put into Saline Men- jlruums, the attraSlion is ftronger here than in other Solutions; and the Motion, which is always proportion- able to the attraSlion, more violent: And we may eahly conceive, how when the Motion is increas’d in this manner, it fhou’d drive the Salts, like fo many Darts, into the Pores of the G 3 Bodies,
