the propretors have been engaged for several years
in transporting the water to all parts Of the country
n barrels and half barrels, which have undergone
areful and thorough preparation, and that il has
een satisfactorily aseertained that the medical prop
erties Of the water reside mainly in its solid con.
tents; and as these not deposited or otherwise
lost by expectation, the transported water must re-
tain as much strength as that used fresh from the
fountain. Numerous comparative trials made with
the water thus transported and the water fresh al
the spring, by intelligent and observsnt persons
from all parts Of the Union, with view Of aseer.
tanning its strength in either case, have abundantly
proved the truth Of this position. Various letters
subsantiating these facts in the possession OF
the propretors, copies Of some of which may be
found in the pamphlets containing general direc-
tons for the use Of the water, which are furnished
to the venders for gralutous distribution among their
customers.
