Note 1005 — SAL-AMMONIAC.

William Johnston translation

Though the sal-ammoniac that is made in the East may consist in great part of camel’s urine, yet that which is made in Europe (where camels are rarities) and is commonly sold in our shops, is made of man’s urine.—Nat. Hist. of the Human Blood (Works, iv. p. 188).
