This lixivium, must be put on boiling hot, and the ultramarine stirred well about in it, and then the mixture set to cool. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The powder being subdued, the clear lixivium must be poured off, and clean water put in its place, which must be repeated till the whole of the salts of the lixivium are washed away. the ultramarine must afterwards be dried, and will be then duly prepared for use. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Another method of purifying the ultramarine from the cement may be used, which is the pricking the yolks of eggs with a pin, and moistening the matter to be purified with the soft part that will run out, and working them together in a glass or flint mortar; after which the mixture must be put into the lixivium, and proceeded with as is above directed. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The base of each is a lixivium made from two parts of the ashes of burned bean-stalks and one of unslaked lime, mixed with water and strained. ❋ Henry Ebenezer Handerson (N/A)
It was customary among the Gauls to wash the hair with a lixivium made of chalk in order to increase its redness. ❋ William Andrews (1878)
This prepar'd, they first unbowel the Corps (and in the poorer sort, to save Charges, took out the Brain behind): after the Body was thus order'd, they had in readiness a _lixivium_ made of the Bark of Pine-Trees, wherewith they washt the Body, drying it in the Sun in Summer and in the Winter in ❋ Richard Francis Burton (1855)
A lixivium of wood-ashes is then thrown in along with it; and it is suffered to boil for several hours. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
By means of lime-wash or lime-water, he has restored butter so 'far gone' that it could only have been recovered by melting; but any alkaline lixivium will answer the same purpose. ❋ Various (1836)
During this period she complained not of any sickness, except from the lixivium, which was after the first dose reduced to 20 drops; and her appetite and strength increased daily, though it was evident that no bile had yet flowed into the bowels, nor was the digestion at all improved. ❋ William Withering (1770)
Where alkaline lixivium does not dissolve pus, it still distinguishes it from mucus; as it then prevents its diffusion through water. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
From the above experiments it appears, that strong vitriolic acid and water, diluted vitriolic acid, and caustic alkaline lixivium and water will serve to distinguish pus from mucus; that the vitriolic acid can separate it from coagulable lymph, and alkaline lixivium from serum. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
And hence, when a person has any expectorated material, the composition of which he wishes to ascertain, let him dissolve it in vitriolic acid, and in caustic alkaline lixivium; and then add pure water to both solutions: and if there is a fair precipitation in each, he may be assured that some pus is present. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
Water produces no change on a solution of serum in alkaline lixivium, until after long standing, and then only a very slight sediment appears. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
Alkaline lixivium dissolves (though sometimes with difficulty) mucus, and generally pus. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
Johnson's dictionary interprets it, 'A lixivium of soap and water! ' ❋ John Bunyan (1658)
The quantities of the calcined matter (which is now the ultramarine) that were first washed of, and appear of the same degree of deepness and brightness, may be put together, and the same of those of the second degree, the last washings making a third. the water being then poured off from each of these parcels, put on a lixivium formed of two ounces of salt of tartar, or pearl-ashes, dissolved in pint of water, and filtered through paper after the solution is cold. ❋ Unknown (2006)

The common way of drying grapes for raisins is to tie two or three bunches of them together, whilst yet on the vine, and dip them into a hot lixivium of wood-ashes mixed with a little of the oil of olives: this disposes them to shrink and wrinkle, after which they are left on the vine three or four days, separated, on sticks in a horizontal situation, and then dried in the sun at leisure, after being cut from the tree. ❋ Isabella Mary (1861)
