    Both kinds of easily soluble saccharine, the common and the refined, are offered for sale in two different forms — in the shape of powder and in the granular form. Chemically speaking they are perfectly similar, and so too are they in sweetening power, taste, physiological characterj and price. They differ only in appearance and structural condition; one kind is a fine powder, the other granular, this latter kind being solely made for the direct use of saccharine as a sweetening substance in households; the waste arising from the use of a fine powder is thus avoided and the measuring off of the sub- stance into suitable quantities greatly facilitated. V. Saccharine in Tablets. Saccharine tablets offered for sale, are made by means of small presses and are intended for direct use. They consist of a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and refined saccharine in the proportion of 3 to 1, which is compressed into a handy shape and definite dose by means of powerful pressure. The tablets have a thickness of ti mm. and weigh 0,07 grm. each, contain, therefore, 0,0175 grm. of refined saccharine and are equal to 12 grms. of sugar. 'In the same way as sugar is used daily in the shape of cubes in households, so it is intended that these cakes shall facilitate the direct use of saccharine for the same purposes and save the trouble of weighing it off in small quantities.
