maining solution, evaporated, re-dissolved and tested in a 
similar manner, shewed the same results. The inference 
then will be, that this solution contained sulphate of lime 
chiefly, with a trace of sulphate of magnesia. . F

It will be observed, that the results of the analysis of the - 
fixed product denote the presence of the same substances 
as were detected by the humid analysis, and thus the one 
confirms the correctness of the other. The nature of these 
is an active substance, would be present in a much lar- 
ger proportion than appears from the analysis. Persons 
using these waters, are in the habit of drinking from three 
_ to four quarts ina day, and also of bathing twice. ‘They 
generally remain in the bath from a half hour to an hour,
