  tation 
  for 
  the 
  cures 
  effected 
  by 
  their 
  use, 
  in 
  aggravated 
  cases 
  of 
  rheuma- 
  

   tism 
  and 
  kindred 
  diseases. 
  The 
  healthy 
  mountain-air, 
  the 
  free 
  and 
  easy 
  

   life, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  these 
  hot 
  waters 
  thoroughly 
  impregnated 
  

   with 
  mineral 
  matter, 
  would 
  no 
  doubt 
  have 
  a 
  very 
  beneficial 
  influence 
  

   upon 
  some 
  invalids 
  whose 
  ailments 
  an 
  in-door 
  life 
  and 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  drags 
  

   might 
  fail 
  to 
  conquer 
  so 
  speedily. 
  At 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  our 
  visit, 
  quite 
  a 
  

   number 
  of 
  people 
  were 
  there, 
  seeking 
  relief 
  from 
  various 
  diseases 
  they 
  

   suffered 
  from, 
  and 
  all 
  of 
  them 
  expressed 
  their 
  admiration 
  of 
  the 
  sani- 
  

   tary 
  qualities 
  developed 
  by 
  the 
  water 
  of 
  the 
  springs. 
  Preparations 
  

   were 
  being 
  made 
  to 
  utilize 
  the 
  two 
  upper 
  springs, 
  besides 
  the 
  lower 
  one. 
  

   Dr. 
  Oscar 
  Loew, 
  mineralogist 
  and 
  chemist 
  to 
  the 
  100th 
  meridian 
  sur- 
  

   vey, 
  has 
  published* 
  three 
  analyses 
  of 
  these 
  springs, 
  which 
  are 
  appended. 
  

   The 
  temperatures 
  which 
  were 
  there 
  observed 
  are 
  generally 
  higher 
  than 
  

   those 
  I 
  have 
  taken.
