MINERAL WATERS

The intelligent individual eager to
avail himself of the best aids that
modern medical science affords cannot
help being baffled by the conflicting
claims made regarding mineral wat
ers. He sees numerous cases in which
relief has unquestionably been OBJ
tanned by patients who have visited
one of the many springs in this coun-
try or Europe; but when he considers
the possibilities - including rest.
change of diet and environment-the
result is a HOPELESS confusion of ridi-
culous claims. The added question
arises of the relative value of the diff
some of the widely known spas-for
example ,Saratoga--the internal use
of waters takes precedence; at Mount
Clemens, White Sulphur Springs and
others the baths are chiefly relied on;
at Hot Springs and French Lick the
combined method prevails. In view of
possibility of measuring the conse-
quences in any precise way, The Jour
nal of the American Medical AssOcia-
ton agrees with DR.. Guy Hinsdale,
Secretary of the American Climatic
logical Association, in scouting the
claims of the specific virtues of par
ticular mineral ingredients in the wat
ers, except in such obvious features
as laxative action or the ABSORPTION
of dissolved iron salts. If we assume
writes Hinsdale that approximately
equal results are achieved by a curse
of bathing in waters so dissimilar, we
cannot avoid the inference that the
chemical constituents of these differ
ent springs are not per Sc the active
therapeutic agents. That certain
baths may be used with good results
in case of govt, ought to suggest
that the hydrotherapeutic methods
employed are more potent than the
fact that the waters employed have
a special chemical composition.
1t the cultivation of the rational
use of mineral waters involves an &C
curate knowledge of their contents,
Information regarding them must
have some guarantee of accuracy.
For the past twenty years is has not
been possible in France to advertise
any mineral water as such, or TO ex-
plot a mineral-water station, without
the favorable recommendation of a
commission under whose direction the
analysis are made If such rules
were in force in the United States,
fake "hthia" waters would long ago
have been driven out of the market.
The damage to mineral springs re-
sulting from uncontrolled commercial
ventures is illustrated by conditions
at Saratoga The amount of miner
al matter held in solution by some of
the waters there obtained is dependent
on the quantity of carbon dioxid which
impregnates the water and the pres

naustive pumping of the gas was
carried on by carbonic gas industry,
