KENTUCKY SPRINGS. 167 



the Harrodsburg group is again reviewed. The chemical 

 contents nearly the same as already quoted for the Saloon 

 and Greenville Springs, the latter retaining the trace of sul- 

 phuretted hydrogen. It is stated that these " springs issue 

 from the beds of blue limestone near its junction with the 

 underlying marble rocks. " These springs of Kentucky, re- 

 ported by Mr. Owen, have a stereotype resemblance, all 

 containing the same salts of the same bases. 



Jones's Mineral Water, Washington County, contains 

 lime, soda, magnesia, sulphur, with chlorine, carbonic and 

 sulphuric acids. 



In Nelson County there are a number of mineral waters, 

 as Grigsby's White Sulphur, Mammoth Well, Bell's Mineral 

 Water, and others, their contents being common salt, lime, 

 magnesia, iron, and sulphur, with great sameness in style of 

 combination, 



In Shelby and Henry counties there are sulphur and 

 chalybeate waters, and in Owen County, a weak saline. 

 Some springs are quoted as poisonous to cattle from excess 

 of the salts of magnesia. 



The waters of BLUE LICK, ESCULAPIAN, and ALUM 

 SPRINGS, are reported with usual salts of lime, magnesia, 

 soda, and sulphur. Qualitative analyses are also given of 

 OLYMPIAN SPRINGS, in Bath County. They differ but little 

 from the large number noticed, containing lime, magnesia, 

 soda, with some sulphuretted hydrogen, and sulphate of 

 magnesia in quantities. 



Sudduth Springs on Mud Lick, Sweet Lick Estill 

 Springs, Irvine's Sulphur, Russell's Sulphur and Chaly- 

 beate, in Russell County, are also reported. They contain 

 the regular routine of ingredients characterizing KENTUCKY 

 MINERAL SPRINGS. 



"A strong sulphuretted saline" is reported in Kettle 

 Creek, Cumberland County; also, strong sulphur springs 

 in Marion and Taylor counties. These springs are repre- 

 sented to contain large amounts of sulphuretted hydrogen, 

 in addition to the salts of lime, magnesia, and soda. 



Lindsey's Mineral Water, in Christian County, is also
