The carbon dioxid content of artificial mineral water, K. Kisskalt {Hyg. 

 RundscJiau, 18 {1908), No. l.'i, pp. 817-820).~lt was found that the carbon 

 dioxid content of charged mineral water varied with the method followed 

 in opening the bottle and in pouring out the contents. In the analyses re- 

 ported the carbon dioxid ranged from 2.S9G to 3.925 liters per liter of water. 

 The experimental data did not substantiate the popular belief that placing 

 a glass rod or some similar article in the glass aids materially in removing 

 carbon dioxid from the water. 



The author's studies led him to conclude that the eructation of gas and 

 other unpleasant symptoms experienced after drinking charged water are to be 

 ascribed to the amount of material in the stomach rather than to the carbon 

 dioxid.
