«^The bases of the water of No. 3 are combined with organic 

 matter, sulphuric and phosphoric acids and chlorine. The sul- 

 phuric acid is probably in part combined with the magnesia, giv- 

 ing to the water a very slight brackish taste. This may well be 

 called a calcareo-magnesian water, from the presence of so large 

 a quantity of magnesia and lime. Besides these bodies it con- 

 tains a respectable quantity of potassa, soda, sulphuric and phos- 

 phoric acids and chlorine. The water of No. 6 differs from Nos. 

 3 and 5, in having a very much smaller percentage of solid mat- 

 ter. Its solid matter also contains a much larger percentage of 

 organic matter than either of the others. The principal bases 

 are lime, magnesia and potassa. The principal acids are phos- 

 phoric and sulphuric. Although these waters offer no very spe- 

 cial points of interest in a medicinal way, yet in another point of 

 view, they are subjects particularly interesting, in throwing light 

 upon the geological formation in which they occur."

The spring from which the water marked No. 5 was taken, is 

 situated almost within the shadow of the giant wall of the " In- 

 dian Pass." A fountain of health, sufficient to constitute a 

 t' watering place," within the |)ure and invigorating atmosphere 

 of the Adirondacs, and amid scenes where nature reigns in pro- 

 found seclusion, and in such imposing and terrific grandeur, Avould 

 possess infinite attractions and interest. One gallon of this water 

 gave of solid matter 12.64 grains, and 100 parts of this solid 

 matter gave,
