SIR In conjunction with several other members

good reputation should have led to neglect you have
again applied to for an analysis of several speci-
mems of Mineral Water, purporting to have been
made after different methods by different PERSONS

distinction apparent being in the color Of the bottles.
have examined the several specimens submitted,
and find as follows: The water in the ,Ohite glass
bottles is free from all impurities that in the green
bottles contains sensible quantity Of sulphuric acid
which is evident to the smell and aste as well as to
tho proper chemical tests. From a recent inspec-
ton OF your process, was led to the conviction that
the only impurities which could possibly gain access
to the water were lead and sulphurc acid. Of lead
find no traces whatever in any Of the bottles the
amount of suphuric acid present in the green bottles
though small Is Objectionable, and must be regarded
as an mpurity, the Mineral Water processes to be
free from all such admixtures. therefore certify
that the Mineral Water contained in the white bot.
ties sent to me pure, and in my opinion saluta-
ry, while that in the green bottles was impure and
unfit for common beverage.
