The silicia eontained in the residue produced by evapor- ating the water to dryness, is partly dissolved in soda, front which it is easily separated by every acid, even by the carbonic acid of the atmospheric air. The bituminous substance mcntioned above, is a mixture of two different bodies, one of them soluble in water or alcohol, and yielding by dry destillation carbonatc of antmonia, the otlier soluble in alcohol or ether, and precipitated in a solution of the latter, upon water being added to it. Ncither lodine nor Bromine are present in the Wildbad waters, and the traces of nitric acid found, were so slight that tliey could not be provcd with any degree of certainty. The carbonate of antmonia obtained from the carbonaceous matter, very pro-
