(1701) 2 by PQST out of the tube and poured into it a little brandy , as designated here by NOVW , and when I had then inserted the said cork , with the narrow glass tube therein , into the glass tube again , and took the narrow tube at R between my lips and breathed through it , the air was poured into the tube through the open end of Za at a , and since it had to pass through the brandy , this caused a bubbling in the brandy , through which movement in the brandy the spirits of the latter ( if I may call them thus ) were conveyed extremely vigorously into the mouth and thus into the trachea , as the outcome has shown to my satisfaction .Now if the evaporating or volatile particles of the balsam help to bring relief to and even to heal an unhealthy lung , and this the better as the balsam exhales more spirits , it was not my intention that , if the said tube were filled with balsam as far as it was with brandy , the air should pass through the balsam as simply as it had done through the brandy , but I also planned , and my device had also been made , to place the glass tube , to the level of the balsam therein , in hot water .Not that the tube should be put in hot and as it were boiling water , but it should be placed in a basin judged to be suitable for this ; and some cold water should be poured into that basin , and to this water one should slowly add boiling water , in order that thus the glass tube should not be subjected to sudden heat and burst .
