Sel. Sulz.

No. 1380. - This mineral production, so necessary to mankind, is universally distributed over the globe. Most animals have an instinctive relish for it, and from its frequent presence in the solids and fluids of the animal economy, it may be supposed to perform an important part in assimilation and nutrition. It is used to some extent in medicine, but its principal use is in cookery, where it is employed in seasoning certain kinds of food and for the preservation of meat.
