168 Notice of the Sulphur-Springs, Ss?c. 



I saw may be supposed to have been collecting for a 

 very considerable length of time, as the inhabitants, 

 in 1797, were few in number, and did not carry it 

 away), I greatly doubt, if one quarter of a ton be de- 

 posited annually. What the bowels of the earth, in 

 the neighbourhood of the Springs, may contain, we 

 know not: but, with respect to the similar Springs, 

 in Europe, we have many facts to prove, that the 

 matters impregnating the waters, are often derived 

 from a distant source.
