  Upon 
  this 
  analysis 
  I 
  have 
  to 
  remark, 
  that 
  if 
  the 
  results 
  are 
  correctly- 
  

   stated, 
  it 
  is 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  notable 
  that 
  has 
  heretofore 
  been 
  published 
  ; 
  

   at 
  least, 
  in 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  New>York 
  Sulphur 
  Springs 
  are 
  concerned. 
  

   The 
  amount 
  of 
  solid 
  matter 
  is 
  unusually 
  large, 
  and 
  it 
  must 
  serve, 
  to 
  

   keep 
  up 
  the 
  high 
  reputation 
  of 
  this 
  favorite 
  watering 
  place. 
  

  

  Sulphur 
  Springs, 
  Sharon, 
  Schoharie 
  county. 
  Three 
  springs 
  at 
  

   Sharon 
  were 
  analyzed 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Lawrence 
  Reid, 
  of 
  New-York, 
  in 
  1844, 
  

   and 
  the 
  results 
  published 
  in 
  the 
  Proceedings 
  of 
  the 
  Academy 
  of 
  Natu- 
  

   ral 
  Sciences 
  of 
  Philadelphia, 
  vol. 
  2, 
  p. 
  120, 
  (for 
  October, 
  1844.)
