ON Saturday last, March the 26. 1698. The famous Mr. Stringer the Chymist, (who made the Extraordinary Seperations of Metals, and the Artificial Gem, before his Imperial Majesty the Czar of Muscovy, mentioned the last Wednes­day's Mercury) went to see the Curious Collection of Animals, Minerals, and Re­ctified Vegetables, now showed in Stocks-Market; It chanced that the Man who shewed the Curiosities, seeing him more than ordinarily diligent in his Enquiries and Remarks upon such natural productions, attempted to take the Viper (or Serpent) out of its Glass, as Mr. Stinger did a Snake out of another Glass; but had the mis­fortune to be Bitten by it, whereupon his Finger swelled suddenly; and dismal Symptoms approach'd instantly: a Chyrugion was fetched, who nauteriz'd the Finger with hot Irons; Venice-Treacle and Oyl of Vipers was applied, but all in vain; several great Physicians proposed to be advised with, and Messengers dispatch'd to fetch the Doctors, but before any could be brought to him, the Contagious Poyson seized his Head, Stomach, and Blader, with extream Swellings of his Hands and Arms, and he to apperance turn'd Yellow, and Dead. Then Mr. Stinger disco­vered himself, saying, It was time for him to go to work since no other help could be had: He produced an Acid Preparation of his own preparing (called Elixir Vi­ [...]iols Colebachij) and caused a small Chyrurgion (who lives in New Round Court in the Strand) to Anoint the Swelled part, and gave him some of the same inwardly which wrought [...] Mi [...]oulons [...] that not only all [...] that the Person revived, and was [...]ble in Half an Hours time to walk, and did more then walk half a Mile home to his Ludgins, and in perfect Health: Which made the Physicians wonder, when th [...] me [...], eve [...]ing that i [...] a most Mir [...]culons Cure, the like of which they had never read of, nor [...]n, A [...] that it is the plain­ [...]st demonstration yet produced to the World by any Man, that all Animal Poysons are Alkalions, and not Acid: A more perfect History of this will be suddenly pub­lished by a Great Physician, in a little [...]ne. It is said that this Mr. Stringer now [...] come to love in York-Builds in the Strand.

If any doubt the Truth of this Rel [...]ion they may be [...] by the Ma [...] own Mouth, at the Collection in Stocks-Mar [...]. aforsaid.

Because that many perhaps, have not seen the last Wednesday's Me [...]cury, we have here Inserted some Passangers betwixt the [...]zat of Muscovy and Mr. Stringer.

The C [...] sent some days since for Mr. Stringer, an Oxford Chymist, to shew him some [...] Choicest Secrets and Experiments known in England; accordingly Mr. Stringer drew up a Class (or Number) of Experiments, viz. Some in [...]parating and Refining of Mer [...] and Minerals, some Geometrical, some Medicin [...], others [...]losophical, to the number of 24 Exper [...] when they were drawn up, the Czar elect [...]ne to be done first; and it seems it was one of the most difficult Operations, which shews that [...] is skill'd in Natural Philosophy. However [...]e [...]ired to see the Experiment done, which [...] Metals, with a destroying Mineral together [...] Gold, Silver, Copper, and [...]on, with An [...] to one Lun [...], then to dissolve them all, and then [...] separate each Metal distinct again, without destroyning and called the Gold from the rest of the Metal mi [...], being transported into a merry Vein, cold [...] [...]f his Majesty would wear that Gold is a Ring for his sake, he would make him an Artificial Ce [...] of [...] colour in pleased to name, to set in it, out of an Old Broom staff and a peice of Flint that lay by them [...] H [...] Majesty being pleased with the Fancy [...] or [...]ed it to be done, be staying by part of the time, and [...]ry the rest till it was done, and then it proved so hard, that it cut Glass.
