YT7HESE DEisERVEDLY POPUEAR
| Il Mineral Waters rise in the county OF
| Orange and State OF Indiana, nine miles
west of Paoli, the seat of justice for said
| county.
The Surrounding country is undulatine.
and IN many places swelling into lofty
| eminenceS or hills, among which are to be
| found numerous fresh-water springs, both
| limestone and freestone, equal, if not supe-
rior TO any fresh-water springs west of the
noun tains.
The mineral waters flow apparently from
| different fountains. Notwithstanding the
| fact that many of them are quite contigu-
Gus to each other, yet there are no two
alike in chemical properties, taste, or
smell. tt ,,rH.
The principal springs, twelve in number,
rise in a basin covering not exceeding
three acres of ground; and, unlike other
springs, they never seem to be affected by
either freshet or drought, always flowing
about the same quantity of water, winter
or summer. tf,.
The scenery around the springs is 10
mantle, and extremely interesting and
pleasant to those who delight in contem-
plating the wondrouS works of God and
the magnificent display of His beneficence
as developed in the greatfield of Nature.
qualitative analysis of these waters
shows the presence of the following ele-
mentary principles in their composition,
which may be regarded as the cause of
their extraordinary power in the cure of
many D. the most formidable diseases that
fall TO the lot of mankind, either acute or
chronic. The following is the list of ele-
mentary properties, viz:
Carbonic Acid, Sulphuretted Hydro
Carbonate Iron, gas gen, il
Carbonate Lime, SuIphate Lime,
Carbonate MagneSia, Sulphate MagneSia,
Oxyd Iron, Sulphate Iron.
The following diseases may be radically
cured by the proper use of these waters:
Chronic Dysentery, Diarrhoea, Diabetes,
Diseases of the skin Chronic Election Of
the Liver, Spleen, and Kidneys, Dyspepsia
in all its varieties, Mercurial Diseases in
every stage or form, Jaundice, and Loss of
Appetite. Children passing the dental
stage, or Teething, cannot find so sure and
certain a remedy. Nearly the entire class
of Female Diseases that have become
chronic. The disease called Milk Sickness
is cured in both man and beast. Persons
predisposed TO Pulmonary or Lung Diseases

this continent. Those laboring under q
confirmed state of that disease may resort
to these waters as palliative, for it is GER
tain that no remedy can be found that will

denly. Persons laboring under Calculi or
