the proprietors have been engaged for several years
in Transporting the to all parts Of the country
in barrels and half barrels, which have undergone
careful and thorough preparation, and that il has
been satisfactorily ascertained that the medical prop
critics of the water reside mainly in its solid con-
Tents and as these are not deposited or otherwise
lost by expectation, the transported water must re-

fountain. Numerous comparative trials made with
the water thus transported and the water fresh at
the spring, by intelligent and observant persons

tanning its strength in either case, have abundanty
proved the truth Of this position. Various letters
