Potassium tartrate, the source of this white residue, is sometimes referred to as argol, or lees. |
A hole in the apex of the roof lets out the smoke from the argol fire which burns all day in the middle of the tent. |
In its unprepared or crude state it is called white or red tartar or argol, according to the wine from which it has been obtained. |
The solution of argol or tartar is first neutralised with carbonate of potassa, and to every 300 gall. |
It must be borne in mind that this argol was crude tartrates from wine vats, and probably contained a good deal of organic matter. |
The district of argol is first received colonies, who introduced civilisation into Greece. |
