HEALTHFULNESS OF EASTERN
VIRGINIA ARTESIAN WATERS

All the information thus far gathered
by the field assistance of the HYDRO.
graphic Branch of the United States
Geological Survey, who have been en-
gagged IN investigating the occurrence
and character of the underground
waters of eastern Virginia Indicate
that many of the flowing wells of the
region supply waters that have distinct
medicinal value. AS rule the waters
may be described as alkaline-carbonated
though freshly drawn water from some
wells has slight odor of sulphurated
hydrogen, and the alkalinity of the
water varies considerably from area to
area. In general the waters contain
comparatively small percentages of the
salts of lime, yet they are so decidedly
alkaline as to render their use bene-
fetal to persons suffering from govt.
rheumatism, and other diseases caused
by uric acid diathesis. In ali of the
communities where the artesian waters
are in general use there are persons
who are loud in their praises of the
good they have received, and such evil
dence is corroborated by local physi-
clans.
Aside from their therapeutic value.
the artesian flows of eastern Virginia
have other merits as table waters.
They are usually very eight copions
drinking in hot weather producing no
sensation of heaviness. That they are
germ-free is shown by their keeping
perfectly clear on shipboard for months.
AT one or two important towns, once
noted for the prevalence of typhoid.
the introduction of deep-well supplies
has been followed by almost complete
absence of the disease. At other
places great reduction in the preva-
ience of malaria is reported. Indeed it
is even said that few small hamlets
where malaria and i'll health resulting
from malaria once kept local doctor
busy, the general use of artesian water |
has sufficed to put him out of business.

A DESERVED REBUKE.

The rank aud file of Democratic
newspapers are heartily disguised at
the stand of many big dailies that
arrogate to themselves all the virtue

free lances but they should get from
under the cloak lsbelled"Democracy''
and appear in their true light.
Without wishing to draw particular
attention to our able "independent''

among the many such-we desire to
reproduce the following from q
