This

is
capable
to

will
be
worn

and
when
the
coals
are
worn
out,
renew
them,
the
same
as
before.
Observe,
there
will
be
left
a
great
deal of
strength
in
the
coal
after
it
stops
running;
to
get
that
strength
out,
pour
water
on
and
let
water
through,
until

of
the
liquor
remains
in
it.
To
ascertain
this,
a
hydrometer

by
this
mode
you
can
find
how

Some
rectifiers
put
up
two,
one
above
the
other,
and
let
the
whiskey
through
them

and
if
you
want
your
spirits
very
fine,

or
4
times
;
the
oftener,
the

Keep
your
rectifier
always
in use,
or the
coal
will
become
mouldy
and
unfit
for use.
The
charcoal
ought
to
be
prepared
from
sugar
maple
wood.
Some
rectifiers
use
raw
cotton,
or
straw,
instead
of
flannel,
and
put
between
the
sand
and
charcoal,
malt,
or
lime,
according
to
