ANALYSIS
OF THE WATERS OF
" OR KIN by SPRIN GS."

R. SEYMOUR, Esq: Dear Sir--I here.
"A with forward you an analysis OF the waters
ofIhe Orkney Springs, which, though they are
rorcct as regards their compOnents, are never
Itieess deficient in their respective quantities.,
owing in a measure TO the imperteCtness Of my
spparatus, as also to the change which takes
pace in the water by exposure and the delay in
ttent TO preparation for its analysis.
In the two Springs there is difference, and
although both are finally tonic, still the " Bear
Wallow" possesses ingredients not usually to be
net with in chalybeate water, and which rem
der il peculiarly applicable for cutaneous dlseas'
es and glandular engagements.
The iron in both is in the state Of the carbon
ale Of the protoxide, held in solution in the water
by excess of carbonic acid. Hence it IS that by
Standing exposed TO The air, or by boiling, the
catbonc acid is driven off, and the protoXlde by
absorbing oxygen is precipitated as hydrated
sesquioxide OF the yellow color, which you have
noticed in the bed of the streams running from
the Springs, and in the vessels used for holding
the water:
