Of higher importance, however, are the artificial mineral waters which, in harmony with the exact analysis of the natural waters, are prepared by saturat- ing a solution of the corresponding salts under higher pressure with carbonic acid gas. With these waters the greater or lesser amount of carbonic acid gas, the greater or lesser purity of the materials used for them, the greater or lesser safety in the emballage are utterly essential; therefore it should be borne in mind where to get these waters from; more- over, waters of certain compositions and established names, such as Vichy, etc., should be prepared under the supervision of expert chemists, and never be order- ed from firms that stand under the control of quacks.
