 The various Spring waters are great factors in bringing people to Saratoga each summer and are used for all most every complaint imaginable and really if a disease sufferer strikes the right Spring adopted to the relief of the par ticular aiIment a great benefit IS al most sure to follow. The HathOrn- Carlsbad and Congress Spring waters are very similar in their curative enecls but differ somewhat in taste and violent effects on the system. The Carlspad being the most violent and rasping 10 some constitutions; the Congress but of a medium in it's operations while the Hathorn is about the safest in its cura- tive action and is probably used by much the larger number of people and has been the means of relieving thou sands of dyspectics and rheumatlcs' it is usually taken as a morning bever- age. just before breakfast. while the Vichy Spring is a might cap" in- gredient, especially beneficial in disor- dered stomaches, being a water very similar to the Geyser and Kissenger but perhaps more positive in its effects
 But we would warn all who visit Sara toga not to drink of the various Springs the same day as disastrous conse- quences have in many cases followed such a course. For instance, the Ham, ilton and Washington Springs are among these very sorngly impregnated
 with iron and should be drank far apart from the Hathorn, Carlsbad, Star,
 Spouting, Congress and sevral others Among the many guests looked at
 the hotels to arrive soon from Connec- tfcut are many from New Haven.

 many seasons very pleasantly.
