Spirit of animation

Furthermore, there were three kinds of spirits the Spirit of Animals, the Burning spirit of Vegetables, and the Acid spirit. The first (e.g., spirits of hart s horn) was a volatile salt the second (e.g., spirit of Wine, spirit of Juniper) was an oil the third (spirits of Vinegar, Tartar, and... 

Recrystallise from methylated spirit, using animal charcoal for this purpose, use about twice the minimum quantity of methylated spirit required to obtain a clear solution, and filter through a funnel preheated by the filtration of some boiling solvent, as the tribromobenzene separates very rapidly as the solution cools. The 1,3,5-tribromobenzene is thus obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 122° yield, 3 g. 

Prepare a mixture of 30 ml, of aniline, 8 g. of o-chloro-benzoic acid, 8 g. of anhydrous potassium carbonate and 0 4 g. of copper oxide in a 500 ml. round-bottomed flask fitted with an air-condenser, and then boil the mixture under reflux for 1 5 hours the mixture tends to foam during the earlier part of the heating owing to the evolution of carbon dioxide, and hence the large flask is used. When the heating has been completed, fit the flask with a steam-distillation head, and stcam-distil the crude product until all the excess of aniline has been removed. The residual solution now contains the potassium. V-phenylanthrani-late add ca. 2 g. of animal charcoal to this solution, boil for about 5 minutes, and filter hot. Add dilute hydrochloric acid (1 1 by volume) to the filtrate until no further precipitation occurs, and then cool in ice-water with stirring. Filter otT the. V-phcnylanthranilic acid at the pump, wash with water, drain and dry. Yield, 9-9 5 g. I he acid may be recrystallised from aqueous ethanol, or methylated spirit, with addition of charcoal if necessary, and is obtained as colourless crystals, m.p. 185-186°. 

Man is the most perfect of animals in man there is a union of three parts, these are body, soul, and spirit. Metals also may be said to have a body, a soul, and a spirit there is a specific bodily, or material, form belonging to each metal there is a metalline soul characteristic of this or that class of metals there is a spirit, or inner immaterial potency, which is the very essence of all metals. 

Water and earth are passive principles, the other three being active. The Spirit of Mercury is the most active, a subtile, piercing, light substance, that is more in motion than either of the others. It causes bodies to grow hence it is found in vegetables and animals, though little in minerals. 

This product is also called sal alkali volatile, sal volatile salis ammoniaci and. as previously indicated, owing to its formation during the dry distillation of bones, horns, and other animal products, spirit of hartshorn, sal volatile cornu cervi, etc. It is the ammonii carbonas of the pharmacopoeia.
