The SPA OF VERMoNT-Thls medi-
cinal spring is situated in the town of
Clarendon, three and half miles south Of
West Rutland village. According to the
analysis, in one gallon of water contain
ing 235 cubic inches, 9,63 inches are nj
trogen, and 46,l6 inches carbonic acid.
The amount Of saline matter is only 5,76
grains, 50 that, leaving out the nitrogen
and carbonic acid gases, the water is the
purest in the world. Nearly ali springs
and we'll waters have large portion of
saline matter-some 10 per cent. The
ana Ysis shows this water to contain but
one ten thousandth part Of the saline mat
ter. The purest river water does not APP
proach to this purity. Consequently the
water is perfectly transparent and without
taste.
Besides the gases thus held in solution,
gas IN great quantity exists IN a free state,
bubbling up continually from the spring
as at Saratoga. This gas is almost Who'll
| ly nitrogen; being in 100 cubic inches
l98,45 nitrogen, LOS carbonic acid, O.O5
saline matter.
The above facts show the Clarendon
