MINERAL WATERS.
In so healthy a country, there is but
little use for mineral waters for the res
ident population, but Providence, in Its
munifcence, has placed them within our
reach. In Marion, Covington, Wayne and
jackson counties there are Sulphur Chaly-
beate Springs, which, at various times,
have 3een much resorted to by strangers.
Mineral wells are found at Mississippi
City and in the vicinity. But | invite
your attention particularly to the cele-
brated Ocean Springs, Immediately on
our sea board. The late eminent Dr.
\ u i
pronounced this the best mineral arater IN
! tie South. Many of the most prominent
/ physicians of New Orleans certify to the
remarkable cures effected, among their
own patients, and under their own obser-
Walton. Numerous distinguished citizens.
clergymen and professors, have given
certificates of their own cases, and of
desperate cases ard radical cures accom-
plished under their own eyes.
These Springs were first brought to the
notice of DIR. VIM. G. Austin of New
Orleans, in 1852, by the Rev p p. Bowen,
whC had resided in the vicinity and had
for several years witnessed the extraordi-
nary cures effected. DIR. Austin satisfied
himself by positive testimony and minute
analysis of the springs. He traced the
tradition that had given celebrity among
the Indians and French. He selected
desperate cases from the Infrmary Of
New Orleans, and from his own private
practice, and from the patients Of other
physicians, and the results were most sat
isfactory and conclusive. The records of
the cures effected would fill volume.
These wonderful fountains are not bur
led III morass steaming with poisonous
eXhalations; they are not on some bleak
mountain side where one may drive out
dyspepsia, but us sure to catch the ague;
not insomc small damp, befogged valley,
resembling an inverted cauldron, where
warm bath may be had but no fresh air;
not on some frozen lake IN the far north |
west, in a low, fiat, swampy and desolate
region. But the position is at once beau |
tiful and commanding. a ripping bay,
dotted with verdant islets, and looming
out into the "deep blue sea, far as the
breeze can bear the pillows foam" In
the background stands the great pine
forest of Mississippi-those evergreen
Titans that have .'braved the battle and
the storm" for ages, and now fling their
hoary shadows, and distil their balsamc
dews, over this charming shore. \ crys-
tai river, fringed with verdure, winds,
like a thread ofsiIver, around the village;
and gigantic live oaks, that no elemental
strife can shake, gracefully stoop to
kiss the sparkling waters. The prospect
and the air are exhilarating, and the in
valid finds these powerful adjuvants to
he elixir Of the springs.
The exhaustive analysis made by Dr.
Iones, the distinguished Professor of
chemistry in the University of Louisi-
ma, establishes the great value and spe-
life action of these waters in n great
Tariety of diseases.
