Sodium carbonate.. . . 2,835 grains
Sodium sulphate..... 335 grains
Sodium silicate...... 10 grains
Magnesium chloride. 198 grains
Calcium chloride..... 40 grains
Potassa alum........ 57 grains
Magnesium carbonate hydrate........ 158 grains
Iron sulphate........ 21 grains
Magnesium sulphate. 400 parts
Sodium sulphate..... 400 parts
Potassium sulphate . . 2 parts
Sodium chloride..... 31 parts
Sodium bicarbonate.. 12 parts
Water.............. 1 quart
Lithium carbonate. . . 120 grains
Sodium bicarbonate. 1,100 grains
Carbonated water.. . . 10 gallons
For "still" lithia water, substitute lithium citrate for the carbonate in the above formula.
Hydrochloric acid (chemically pure), 2,520 grains; pure water, 40 ounces. Mix and add marble dust, 240 grains; carbonate of magnesium, 420 grains. Dissolve, and after 1 hour add bicarbonate of sodium, 2,540 grains. Dissolve, then add sufficient pure water to make 10 gallons. Filter and charge to 100 pounds pressure.
The following formula, based on the analysis of Bauer-Struve, yields an imitation of
Vichy (Grande Grille).
Sodium iodide...... 0.016 parts
Sodium bromide.... 0.08 parts
Sodium phosphate. . 2 parts
Sodium silicate..... 80 parts
Potassium sulphate . 125 parts
Sodium chloride.... 139 parts
Sodium carbonate... 6,792 parts
Aluminum chloride. 1 part
Strontium chloride. . 1 part
Ammonium chloride 3 parts
Magnesium chloride 24 parts
Calcium chloride. .. 170 parts
Manganese sulphate 0.46 parts
Iron sulphate....... 1 part
Sulphuric acid...... 40 parts
Water to make...... 10 gallons
Mix the first 7 ingredients with about 10 times their weight of water and filter. In the same manner, mix the next 5 ingredients with water and filter; and then the last 3 ingredients. Pour these solutions into sufficient water contained in a fountain to make 10 gallons, and charge at once with carbon dioxide gas. Waters like the above are more correctly named "imitation" than "artificial," as the acidic and basic radicals may bear different relations to one another in the natural and the other.
