PoNTIAC'S FADED HOPE
A Mineral Spring That Couldn't Stand
Analysis.

A few days ago Pontiac bid fair to
rival Mt. Clemens as a mineral spring
town. A spring was actually found
in the cellar of the Pontiac PhTtOn
Co.'S building. 1t rumbled and Missed
and gushed forth in a small torrent.
Its smell was peculiar. One rheuma-
tic took the water externally and in
ternally, and soon it relieved him.
There was talk of building bath houses
at once.
Suddenly the spring stopped gushing
one of the projectors investigated and
found that the spring was nothing
more nor less than stream from the
asylum sewer. The rheumatic's aches
are returning again, and there is gloom
in Pontiac.
