OF ME DVT. 401 



often unable to bear much iron, ancl is much 

 more benefited by the daily life of a moderate 

 portion. I found myfclf furprifingly better for 

 the Mcdvi water. And from many years expe- 

 rience, I can declare, that I have received lefs 

 benefit from journies into different countries, 

 for the fake of health, than from excrcife, and 

 the ufe of tliis mineral water. 



For the ufe of thofe \vhofe cafes may require 

 a mineral water more flrongly impregnated with 

 iron, I would advife the lord of the manor to o- 

 pcn the Red fpring, and inclofe it. The water 

 of this fpring contains a proportion of aerated 

 iron, at lead equal to that of the water of Pyr- 

 mont : every pint affords 4 j. grains. It con- 

 tains alfo no fmall quantity of hepatic air, and 

 of aerial acida mode rate proportion, not difccrn- 

 ible by the tailc. It therefore rcfcmblcs the 

 water of the Upper fpring ; only, has more iron 

 in its competition. It may, accordingly, be of" 

 great fcrvicc to men of a ilrong conftitution ; or 

 even to thofe who arc weaker, if they ufe it on- 

 ly when recovering from illnefs, or drink a cup 

 a day after drinking firlt of the water of the 

 Upper fpring.
