4452. Seidschutz Water

4452.    Seidschutz Water. Sulphate of magnesia, 3 drachms; muriate of lime, nitrate of lime, bicarbonate of soda, of each 8 grains; sulphate of potash, 5 grains; aerated water, 1 pint.

4453. Seltzer or Selters Water

4453.     Seltzer or Selters Water. The seltzer water, as commonly sold, is prepared as follows: Prepare a solution of fused chloride of calcium, 1 part in 9 of water (specific gravity should be 1.088 to 1.089); a solution of calcined carbonate of soda, 1 part in 10 of water (specific gravity 1.105); a solution of chloride of magnesium, by dissolving calcined magnesia at the rate of 20 grains in dilute hydrochloric acid to make 1 fluid ounce of saturation (specific gravity 1.08G); lastly, a solution of dry sulphate of soda in 10 parts water (specific gravity 1.092). These solutions are mixed with water in the following proportions : Solution of carbonate of soda, 1000 grains; solution of chloride of calcium, 200 grains; solution of chloride of magnesium, 150 grains; solution of sulphate of soda, 20 grains; added to 250 to 300 ounces (troy) of water, afterwards to be charged with carbonic acid.

4454. Seltzer Water

4454.     Seltzer Water. Muriate of lime and muriate of magnesia, of each 4 grains; dissolve these in a small quantity of water, and add it to a similar solution of 8 grains bicarbonate of soda, 20 grains muriate of soda, and 2 grains phosphate of soda; mix, and add a solution of 1/4 of a grain sulphate of iron; put the mixed solution into a 20-ounce bottle, and fill up with aerated water. An imitation of seltzer water is also made by putting into a stone seltzer bottle, filled with water, 2 drachms bicarbonate of soda and 2 drachms citric acid in crystals, corking the bottle immediately.

4455. Vichy Water

4455.    Vichy Water. Sulphate of po-tassa, 1 drachms; sulphate of soda, 4 scruples; phosphate of soda, 25 grains; common salt, 6 drachms; bicarbonate of soda, 51/4 ounces; carbonate of ammonia, 10 grains. Mix. Add water, 1/2 gallon. Let it stand half a day; filter, add 10 gallons water, and charge with gas.

4456. Vichy Water

4456.     Vichy Water. Bicarbonate of soda, 1 drachm; muriate of soda, 2 grains; sulphate of soda, 8 grains; sulphate of magnesia, 3 grains; tincture of muriate of iron, 2 drops; aerated water, 1 pint. Dorvault directs 75 grains of bicarbonate of soda, 4 grains of chloride of sodium, 1/5 grain sulphate of iron, 10 grains sulphate of soda, and 3 grains sulphate of magnesia, to a pint of water. By adding 45 grains (or less) of citric acid, an effervescing water is obtained.

4457. Vichy Water

4457.    Vichy Water. Soubeiran, relying on the analysis of Longchamps, imitates Vichy water by the following combination: Bicarbonate of soda, 135 grains; chloride of sodium, 21/2 grains; crystallized chloride of calcium, 12 grains; sulphate of soda, 111/2 grains; sulphate of magnesia, 33/4 grains; tartrate of iron and potash 1/8 grain; water, 21/10 pints; carbonic acid, 305 cubic inches (101/2 pints). Dissolve the salts of soda and iron in part of the water, dissolve and add the sulphate of magnesia, and then the chloride of calcium in the remaining water. Charge now with the carbonic acid gas under pressure.
