SEIDLITZ POWDERS. 198. These powders should be kept in every well-regulated bar. They are harmless when used properly, and are invaluable for settling a disordered stomach. Place twenty-five grains of carbonate of soda and three drachms of Rochelle salts in a blue paper and twenty grains of tartaric acid in a white paper and administer in the following manner. Dissolve the contents of the blue paper in a small bar glass of water and the powder contained in the white paper in a very large glass with a little water in the bottom. Now pour the contents of the small glass into the larger one and drink immediately while effervescing.

SETTLER. 199. A name sometimes given to a mixture of equal parts of claret and plain soda.

SHANDY GAFF. 200. This drink is a mixture of equal parts of ginger ale and ale, but lager beer can be substituted for ale if prefened.

SHERRY AND EGG. 201. Da~h a little sherry wine into a small bar glass; break an egg into another glass and if good throw in and place in front of customer with sherry bottle at his right so he can help himself.
