For a time the whole distil-late condenses in this division, but as the temperature of thewash in the upper division rise.«, and the heat of the morewatery distillate from the still also increases, the condensedliquor in the lower division in its turn begins to boil, and un-dergoes a second distillation or rectification, the vapors from itpassing onwards to be contlensed in the ordinary many forms of distillatory apparatus two or more such rec-tifiers are placed between the primary still and the final con-denser. The principle of the rectifier is easily the operation of distilling to commence, the vaporswhich condense in rectifier No. 1 are much richer in alcoholthan the liquid remaining in the still. The boiling pointofthe condensed liquid is consequently proportionately lower,and the vapor from the still
