are
shipped
to
all
parts
of the
globe;
these
preparations
must
be
dissolved
according
to
prescription
in
a
cer-
tain
volume
of
water
to
secure
the
desired
therapeutical
effect.
Of
higher
importance,
however,
are
the
artificial
mineral waters
which,
in
harmony
with
the
exact
analysis
of
the
natural
waters,
are
prepared
by
saturat-
ing
a
solution
of
the
corresponding
salts
under
higher
pressure
with
carbonic
acid
gas.
With
these
waters
the
greater
or
lesser
amount
of
carbonic
acid
gas,
the
greater
or
lesser
purity
of
the
materials
used
for
them,
the
greater
or
lesser
safety
in
the
emballage
are
utterly
essential;
therefore
it
should
be
borne
in
mind
where
to
get
these
waters
from;
more-
over,
waters
of
certain
compositions
and
established
names,
such
as
Vichy,
etc.,
should
be
prepared
under
the
supervision
of
expert
chemists,
and
never
be
order-
ed
from
firms
that
stand
under
the
control
of
quacks.

MILK
is
composed
mainly
of water,
casein,
lactose,
fats
and
mineral
ingredients.
The
fat
is
only
suspend-
ed
in
it,
i.e.,
it
is
found
in
infinitely
small
globules,
which
float
in
the
colorless
solution
of
the
sugar
of
milk
and
the
protein
corpuscles,
and
which
make
the
fluid
appear
white.
