GENTLEMEN : I have received by mail a copy of Dr. Walton's work on the 

 Mineral Springs of the United States and Canada. Be pleased to accept my 

 thanks for a work which I have been eagerly looking for ever since I had the 

 pleasure of meeting the author in the summer of 1871. He satisfied me that 

 he was well qualified to write a reliable work on this subject, and I doubt not 

 he has met ray expectations. Such a work was greatly needed, and, if offered 

 for sale at the principal mineral springs of the country, will, I believe, com- 

 mand a ready sale. Very respectfully yours, 



J. L. CABELL, M. D.
