ACIDULATED WATERS 



ported into Sweden, and celebrated as fupcrior 

 to the mineral waters or* our own country. 



In this companion it appears, 



j. That in the waters of Medvi there is a fin all 

 proportion of aerial acid, fuflicient indeed for the 

 folution of iron, but not in fo large a proportion 

 ,as to give that agreeable pungent taile which is 

 peculiar to frcfli Pyrmont water. 



2. The Medvi water contains hepanV air, 

 not a particle of which can be detected in the 

 mineral waters of Spa and Pyrmont, in the (late 

 in which they are commonly brought into Swe- 

 den. 



3. The water of the Upper fpring of Medvi 

 aOords nearly the fame proportion of iron as the 

 water of Spa or Pyrmont, about one fourth of 

 a grain to the pint. 



4. The water of Medvi contains none but 

 medicinal principles ; but the foreign waters of 

 Spa and Pyrmont have many other principles 

 intermixed in them, which are either dellitute of 

 all virtue, or dircclly pernicious ; no Ids, for 

 inflance, than 18 or 20 grains of lime and chuik 

 in every pint. Nay Pyrmont water is found to 

 contain about 3 4 grains of gypfcoii* matter, to 

 which many who drink it in large quantities find 

 their conilitutions unequal.
