this PLACE 10 say any thing about their chemical
combinations; that has been .caafded 10 other
and ahler hands, and, no Doubt from the acknow-

experience extend. il is my purpose 10 answer in
as concise manner as possible.
For six and twenty years. as medical abser-

these waters on diseases Of different character;

One of the worst cases of chronic Inflammation Of
the internal coat Of the bladder ever saw, which
I sent there, was promptly cured by few weeks
use Of the water. Chronic Rheumatism is as often
cured by II as. by any other known agent. Alec
tions Of the uterine system are often cuied by il.
One case might mention Of peculiar interest,
with which you ale acquainted. II has wide

The ChMybeate Springs, though recently
brought into notice, was known in my school

out Of the same hill in few hundred feet Of each
