 What shall we drink to quench our thirst in warm weather? Order a case of $. & s. brand Iron Brew, Ginger Ale. Root Beer and Sarsapa- rilla.
 Below we publish opinions of some of our most eminent authorities which Stephens & Schade have just received, showing the good results to be derived from using goods made by them. Some people say don't drink that stuff (carbonated drinks) be- cause there is so much acid and gas in it.
 In the first place there is no more acid in this kind of properly pre- pared drinks than there is in canned fruits put up by the good housewife. In the second place, as to the car bonic gas, this article is so prepared and revivified that its use is so modi- fled that ns bad effects come from it. If such is the case why would these learned professors and chemists give their opinion as to the good results of a well prepared carbonated water, such as the class of goods bottled by Stephens x Schade.
 Carbonated water first became known to the public by physicians who increasingly prescribed it for Its general good effects on the system, being exhilarating, promoting diges- tion, checking excessive acidity in the stomach, and esteemed it as a much needed remedy in febrile dis eases; also as an antidote for alcohol, as it lessens the desire for and coun- teracts the effects of alcoholic bever- ages. Being wholesome, refreshing, exhilerating and palatable, the de- mand extended beyond that of the physicians and invalids until about 1850, when it was taken up as a bever- age, sweetened and favored to be made palatable as we'll as wholesome: and the demand has continued to in- crease and spread until it's manu- fracture and use extends to all parts of the world and has, no doubt, the largest consumption of all other beverages made in the civilized or semi-civilized parts of the world.
 When properly made no beverages are more wholesome. thirst quench- ing. or palatable, and the highest medical authorities indorse and recommend them, as per extracts below:

Pure soda water (more properly called carbon ated water) whether natural or manufactured is d powerful aid to digestion by stimulating the stomach and also probably aiding to dissolve the mineral ingredients of the food.
