 tliem for the use of the bark. 



As a practical proof of the tonick power of the chalybeq^te 

 waters, I might mention the case of a woman whom I found 

 at the springs. She complained, that the acidulous waters 

 (of which alone she had drank for several weeks) reduced 

 her strength. From a persuasion of the astringency of the 



r 



chalybeate spring, I advised" her to drink a moderate quan- 

 tity of it, for a day or two, and to repeat it occasionally. I 

 saw her again some time after, when she informed me that 

 she had followed my advice, and always found from it, a re- 

 markable restoration of strength. 



These are all the cases that are worth mentioning, in 



o 



which the good effects of the waters were evident; tho 

 perhaps, eighty patients belonging to the regiment may 



used them successfully, most of their complaints being of 

 little consequence. 



I must not however, omit one case, in "which the success 

 attending the use of the waters answered neither my wishes, 

 nor my expectations. An officer in the regiment, a little 

 past the meridfan of life, had been for many years, troubled 

 with a tetterous eruption, on different parts of his body. 

 It gave him no great uneasiness, 'till the summer of the year 

 1780, when it fixed on one of his ankles, 

 many topical applications, it daily gained ground ; and the 

 latter end of the year 1781, after an active campaign, had 

 possessed that whole leg, and part of the other 

 der would sometimes alternate with his stomnr
