COMPARISON OF SIMILAR WATERS. 
The chlor-carbonate group is well represented by many famous 
waters both in this country and abroad. Some contain only 
small quantities of mineral matter, while others are heavily 
mineralized. On account of the abundance of free carbon dioxid 
which they contain, they are usually clear, sparkling, efferves- 
cent, and agreeable to the taste, especially at a comparatively 
low temperature. Some typical waters are: 
Putah, Lake County, Cal., Howard Springs, Excelsior Spring.
