Complete Specification Accepted, 19th Oct., 1888
JOHN MUSTON DOWDEN of St. Pauls Lane, Bournemouth in the County of Hamp-
shire Mineral Water Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows:-
My Invention has for its object the preparation and preservation of milk by the
addition of saccharine and subsequent aeration with carbonic acid gas, the bottling of
same by suitable apparatus in closed vessels so that it may be kept for lengthened
periods, enriching the quality and making it more palatable, more digestible and
more convenient for use.
In order to carry out my Invention I employ either milk in its natural condition or
in the form known as skimmed milk (milk from which more or less cream has been
removed).
I first add to the milk either a solution of saccharine or dissolve saccharine in the milk
in such quantity as may make it sufficiently sweet and agreeable to the palate. I
then place the milk in a convenient vessel for charging it with carbonic acid gas by
any aerating apparatus, or pump the milk and gas together and deliver into a cylinder
in the usual way.
When sufficiently charged with gas 1 proceed to bottle in a
suitable machine, and by preference by a process in which the air is withdrawn from
the bottle and the aerated milk forced in.
By the means above described milk may be retained in a good and sound condition
without affecting or depreciating its value as a food or medicinal beverage.
Dated this 15th day of December 1887.

page_text: JOHN MUSTON DOWDEN of St. Pauls Lane Bournemouth in the County of Hamp-
shire, Mineral Water Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :—
My invention has for its object the preparation and preservation of milk: by the
addition of Saccharine, and subsequent aeration with carbonic acid gas. The bottling
of same by suitable apparatus, in closed vessels, so that it may be kept, for lengthened
periods enriching the quality, and making it more palatable, more digestible and more
convenient for use.
In carrying out my invention 1 employ either milk in its natural condition, or in
the form known as separated (milk from which more or less of its cream has been
removed) and proceed to heat same to over 120° Fahrenheit, and subsequently cool it
to below 50° Fahrenheit, and then add either a solution of Saccharine, or dissolve
Saccharine in the milk in such quantity as may make it sufficiently sweet and agree-
able to the palate.
I then place the milk in a convenient vessel for charging it with carbonic acid gas, by
any suitable aerating apparatus, or pump the milk and gas together, and deliver into
a cylinder or charging vessel in the usual way.
When sufficiently charged with gas I proceed to bottle in a suitable machine and
by preference by a process, in which the air is withdrawn from the bottle and a
partial vacuum created in the bottle before the milk is allowed to flow in.
By the means above described milk may be retained, in a good and sound condition,
without affecting or depreciating its value as a food or medicinal beverage.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Invention,
and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what claim is :—
The preserving and enriching of milk by the addition of Saccharine and the subsequent
charging of it with carbonic acid gas in the manner hereinbefore described at
the same time improving its palatable and digestive character.
Dated the 8th day of September 1888.
