The works of the highly experienced and famous chymist, John Rudolph Glauber - Johann Rudolf Glauber

Besides all that hath been said already, many other great, yea incredible, things may be performed with the help of Animal Excrements and Superfluities, and in particular the extraction of Silver and Gold out of Sand, Stone and Poor Oar, that is not worth the melting, as shall be at large declared in the Seventh Part of my Prosperity of Germany.

It may be said with truth, that never yet did any Man find out all the Virtues that are contained in thefts Superfluities of Nature, they being indeed greater than can be believed, which is the reason, why the Philosophers would never call these contemptible and loathsom Subjects by their own names, but have covered and concealed them under Metaphors and Allegories, that the great secrets contained in them might not be prostituted to the Proud unworthy World.

I do intend, God willing, with the first occasion to treat more at large concerning the nature and use of these Animal Superfluities in the Seventh Part of the Prosperity of Germany, where I shall, amongst other things, demonstrate, that these Superfluities of Nature are not only able to exalt Sol and Luna in their colours, but also to augment them to infinity in quantity and quality; I shall also plainly discover the way, how from Sand and Stone and the meanest of Metals, Gold and Silver may be extracted, so that every one, that is but little acquainted with the managing of Fire, may, with little charges in his own House, entertain and keep going a profitable and rich Mine of Gold and Silver, for the comfortable support of himself and family, to which God be pleased to grant his Grace and Blessing. Amen.
