  states 
  that 
  the 
  temperature 
  of 
  each 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  springs, 
  

   taken 
  at 
  various 
  times 
  during 
  a 
  four 
  days 
  residence, 
  was 
  invariably 
  

   48° 
  Fahr., 
  and 
  was 
  not 
  influenced 
  by 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  temperature 
  of 
  the 
  

   atmosphere.

  Sulphuretted 
  springs 
  occur 
  at 
  Rosendale, 
  in 
  Ulster 
  county. 
  One 
  of 
  

   these 
  has 
  acquired 
  some 
  celebrity. 
  It 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  verge 
  of 
  the 
  south 
  shore 
  

   of 
  the 
  Rondout 
  creek. 
  It 
  is 
  principally 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  large 
  pro- 
  

   portion 
  of 
  chloride 
  of 
  sodium 
  which 
  it 
  contains.

  Massena 
  Sulphur 
  Springs. 
  These 
  springs 
  are 
  situated 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  

   of 
  the 
  Racket 
  river, 
  in 
  St. 
  Lawrence 
  county. 
  They 
  are 
  somewhat 
  re- 
  

   markable, 
  and 
  their 
  waters 
  are 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  very 
  serviceable 
  in 
  

   cutaneous 
  diseases 
  and 
  in 
  rheumatisms.
