In getting up any of the soda drinks which are spoken of, it will be found preferable to put about 8 oz. of carbonate, sometimes called super-carbonate of soda, into one pint of water in a bottle and shake when you wish to make a glass of soda and pour of this into the glass until it foams well, instead of using the dry soda as directed.
