Factitious Mineral Waters. Part 5

4458. Vichy Salts

4458. Vichy Salts. Bicarbonate of soda, 11/2 ounces; muriate of soda, 15 grains; effloresced sulphate of soda, 1 drachm; effloresced sulphate of magnesia, 1 scruple; dry tartarized sulphate of iron, 1 grain; dry tartaric acid, 1 ounce (or dry bisulphate of soda); mix the powders, previously dried, and keep them in a close bottle.

4459. Sea-Water

4459. Sea-Water. Muriate of soda, 4 ounces; sulphate of soda, 2 ounces; muriate of lime, 1/4 ounce; muriate of magnesia, 1 ounce; iodide of potassium, 4 grains; bromide of potassium, 2 grains; water, 1 gallon. A common substitute for sea - water as a bath is made by dissolving 5 or 6 ounces of common salt in a gallon of water.

4460. Dry Salt to Imitate Sea-Water

4460. Dry Salt to Imitate Sea-Water. The following mixture of dry salts may be kept for the immediate production of a good imitation of sea-water. Chloride of sodium (that obtained from evaporating sea-water and not recrystallized, in preference), 85 ounces; effloresced sulphate of soda, 15 ounces; dry muriate of lime, 4 ounces; dry muriate of magnesia, 16 ounces; iodide of potassium, 2 drachms; bromide of potassium, 1 grain. Mix and keep dry. Put 5 or 6 ounces to a gallon of water.

4461. Balaruc Water

4461. Balaruc Water. Muriate of soda, 1 ounce; muriate of lime, 1 ounce; muriate of magnesia, 1/2 ounce; sulphate of soda, 3 drachms; bicarbonate of soda, 2 drachms; bromide of potassium, 1 grain; water, 1 gallon. Chiefly used for baths.

4462. Simple Sulphuretted Waters

4462. Simple Sulphuretted Waters. Pass sulphuretted hydrogen into cold water (previously deprived of air by boiling, and cooled in a close vessel), till it ceases to be absorbed.

4463. Aix-la-Chapelle Water

4463. Aix-la-Chapelle Water. Bicarbonate of soda, 12 grains; muriate of soda, 25 grains; muriate of lime, 3 grains; sulphate of soda, 8 grains; simple sulphuretted water, 2k ounces; water slightly carbonated, 171/2 ounces.

4464. Bareges Water

4464. Bareges Water. (Cauterets, Bagneres de Luchon, Bonnes St. Sauveur, may be made in the same manner.) CrystalMEDICINAL TINCTURES.

lized hydrosulphate of soda, crystallized carbonate of soda, and chloride of sodium, of each 21/2 grains; water (free from air), 1 pint. A stronger solution for adding to baths is thus made: Crystallized hydrosulphate of soda, crystallized carbonate of soda, and muriate of soda, of each 2 ounces; water, 10 ounces; dissolve. To be added to a common bath at the time of using.
