PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture and Preparation of Mineral
Waters and other Aërated Beverages.
I, JAMES RUTHERFORD COCHRANE of the Firm of Bayliss and Cochrane of
Cromac Street Belfast in the County of Antrim Ireland Aerated and Mineral
Water Manufacturers, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The above invention has for its object the introduction into the manufacture of
Mineral and Aerated Waters and Beverages the drug known as Guarana aloue or in
combination with other ingredients.
When Guarana alone is employed I prefer to use the drug in or about the following
proportion namely one and a half drachms of fluid extract of Guarana (1 in 1) in
every one hundred ounces of aërated water.
The term (1 in 1) is intended to imply that one pound of the extract equals in
effect one pound of powdered Guarana.
When Guarana is employed in combination with other ingredients in carrying out
my invention I prefer to use about the following proportions of the several
ingredients.
I take fluid extract of Guarana (1 in 1) ten ounces, then add the following plain
syrup, ten gallons, real lemon juice one gallon, essence of bergamot five drachms,
lemon extract and orange extract in quantity according to taste, preservative
ingredient such as salicylic acid two ounces, acidulating solution citric acid thirty
ounces, one and a half ounces of this mixture added to each ten ounce bottle of
carbonised water.
I have given the above proportions in about the quantities I prefer to use though
these proportions will admit of much variation.
This manufacture of mineral and aërated water or beverage will be found a very
pleasant and cooling drink for use in sickness or in hot climates and the introduction
of Guarana renders it an efficient and beneficial remedy as a febrifuge or in such
cases as sick headache and excess of bile and a general digestive corrective possessing
certain invigorating stimulating and stomachic qualities of a restorative character.
