at the Indiana Mineral SPRINGS, Warren

springs Through countless ages the foliage
of magnificent oaks ON the hillside has an

from the big spring for thousands Of years
has been soaking tris deposit and saturating
il with mineral salts, until now there Is a
layer OF medicated mud about two acres in
extent from ten TO twenty feet in thickness.
The strange medicinal value OF this peculiar,
black, porus substance was accidentally dis.
covered by an old soldier, Sam Story, who had
brought rheumatism home from the war and
suffered with IL for years. He was attempting
to dig a drainage ditch through the mud de-
posit, and after indulgiug in this useless eX-

IDEA, but meanwhile had been cured of his
rheumatism.
The fame Of the mud began TO spread, and
afflicted congregated at the Springs from
