Nitrosity

Meaning

Nitrosité names a nitrous quality which Nuysement ascribes to all bodies. He claims that ordinary infusion draws only a little of this quality together with some dregs, obtaining an outward taste rather than the inner virtue he seeks. The word should not be converted into the name of a single modern nitrate. In the same unit, the possibility of a perfected medicinal condition depends on the distinction between initial form and preparation. Its sweetness is presented as belonging to the subject’s proper nature, not as sugar or honey added to disguise bitterness. The supplied French contains bracketed restorations [n’] and [de] in the surrounding argument; those editorial helps should not be presented as fully secure printed letters.
