  • Complete the text. Use: boiled / body/ alchemist / German / gold /colour / burned / phosphorous

In the 17 Century alchemists wanted to extract 3-Gold from the human -4-Body He was sure urine had gold because of its 5-Colour He 6-Boiled his own urine and finally 7-Burned the resulting paste at a high temperature.
