I know that the Lisdoonvarna sulphur spa has proved a most 

 useful aid to general medical treatment, and that many eminent 

 ph37sicians entertain a high opinion of its efficacy hut it is well 

 that the medical profession in Dublin should know that a spa of 

 superior strength and quality is to be had nearer home. I there- 

 fore hope that when the Dublin and Lucan steam tramway shall 

 have been completed, the increased facility of access, and the 

 judicious enterprise of local proprietors in providing for the 

 comfort and amusement of visitors, will lead to the renewed 

 prosperity of the attractive district of Lucan, once so famous as 

 a health resort.
