NEW JERSEY SPRINGS. 



THE principal mineral spring of New Jersey which has 

 any reputation as medicinal, is SCHOOLEY'S MOUNTAIN

 of iron generally ; temperature, 50 Fahr. 



Much is said of the delightful character of this retreat, 

 and the power of its water; not enough of the power of 

 exercise and pure air. 



OHIO MINERAL WATERS. 



THERE are many mineral springs in Ohio, according to 

 Dr. Drake, but they have attracted little notice and been 

 the subject of little scientific investigation. W. W. Mather, 

 in the Geological Report of Ohio, asserts, " mineral springs 

 may be found in almost every county." Those observed are 

 of the classes of chalybeate, saline, and sulphureous waters. 



"YELLOW SPRING" is in Green County, on the Cincinnati 

 and Sandusky Railroad, sixty-four miles north of Cincin- 

 nati. It is described as proceeding from the same geolo- 

 gical filter as the "chalybeate springs of the Olympian Yal- 

 ley, in Kentucky." The water, possessing the temperature 

 of the springs of the surrounding country, 52 Fahr., is 

 clear, and has a "slight chalybeate taste." Drake asserts
