Substitute for Sulphur Water.

The eminent French chemist Armand Gauter has reported a discovery to the French Academy of Sciences which is likely to prove of great hygienic value. He has found that finely powdered volcanic stones treated by boiling in water at a temperature of 270 to 300 degrees Celsius yield a liquid Identical in composition with the ordinary sulphur water of mineral springs except that it, is stronger than the latter.
