It contains much sulphur and salt, is divided into sca.es and easily powdered; when old, that is, when long kept after taking it out of the mines, it falls into powder, and then yields a quantity of saltpetre.

It burns more bright than any other kind of coal: powdered and strewed upon vine trees it destroys the worms that injure them, hence its name: it is rarely used in medicine, but is commended as being more drying than terra Samia, or than many of the earths that have been employed with credit in medicine.
