Highland Spring is located at Lewis ton, Me., and is owned and oper- 

 ated by the Highland Spring Water Co., 406 West Forty-fifth Street, 

 New York. The spring was inspected November 19, 1907, and samples 

 obtained directly from source for the purpose of examination. Chem- 

 ical analysis shows this to be a lightly mineralized, calcic, bicarbonate, 

 water of the alkaline type. The hypothetical combination indicates 

 that approximately 55 per cent of the salts in solution are in the 

 form of bicarbonates of calcium and magnesium and approximately 

 12 per cent sulphate, of sodium. Sanitary analysis shows small 

 quantities of free and albuminoid ammonia, only a trace of nitrates, 

 and an absence of bacteria, which is indicative of organic purity. 

 No previous analysis of this water could be obtained for purposes 

 of comparison.
