Glemvood spring is situated in St. Albans, Somerset County, Me., 

 and is owned by Dr. C. O. Moulton, of Hartland, Me. The spring 

 has a flow of approximately 30 gallons per minute and at the time of 

 inspection, November 15, 1907, the temperature of the water was 

 48 F. Samples were taken directly from source for examination. 

 Chemical analysis shows this to be a moderately mineralized, calcic, 

 bicarbonated water of the alkaline type. The hypothetical combi- 

 nation indicates that approximately- 76 per cent of the salts in 

 solution are in the form of the bicarbonates of calcium, magnesium, 

 and sodium, and approximately 6 per cent of sulphate of sodium. 

 The sanitary analysis shows a small amount of free and albuminoid 

 ammonia, and low nitrates and a low bacterial count, which indicates 

 organic purity. Inspection of the premises failed to reveal any 

 probable sources of pollution. No satisfactory comparison could be 

 made with the advertised analysis, as the latter is very incomplete, 

 and it therefore has been omitted.
