road. The location is probably the highest in
the State. the Tombigbee, Hatehie and several
other streams rising near by. The county was

heathiest in the United States of America. Its

Inc following is the analysis OF ten OF the
Springs made by the State biologist: ~
No. l.-Biearbonate of iron. largely. Free
carbonic acid, perp small amounts OF the bicar-
donates, chlorides and sulphates of lime, mag
nesia, potash and soda. This spring is almost
pure chaly beate and tonic in its action.
No. 2, or the Red Sulpher.-Sulphuretted hy-
drogen, largely. Bicarbonate OF iron, largely.
Free carbonic acid Sufficient TO cause it 10

lime, magnesia, potash and soda. and chloride
of Sodium. In 10000 parts this water contains
LILO of solid ingredients, chiefly oxide OF iron.

The other seven springs have been analyzed
but would occupy too much space. One OF them
is white sulphur, one sweet sulphur, one

They have been visited by most eminent physl,
Clans, who unhesitatingly pronounce them equal

cure them.
The IUKA SPRINGS are no hum bug. Ask
your family physician. ASK the 3,UCU visitors
before the war. They otter more inducements
to the people of the south than any other great
watering place. They are easy Of access, near
by, daily trains, daily mails and telegraph:
Good schools, good society, choice hunting and
fishing, and ne place 50 cheap.

The Proprietors have combined energy, brain
and capital to make the Iuka Springs the Sara

much less note are asking s75 to 500 per month,
they charge only $50 per month, Sl5 per week
