Abstract
February 29, 1683/4. Dr. Wallis was pleased to inform us, that ye way commonly used in opening frozen pumps, with salt, has been known to make o pumpwater, under his house, apt to curdle in boiling, and unfit for washing, which naturally is fit for use, and bears soap very well; but ye water probably will recover itself as soon as ye salt shall be drawn off.
