   considerable 
  carbon

  a 
  finely 
  divided 
  almost 
  graphitic 
  condition

  MINERAL 
  WATERS 
  

  

  New 
  York 
  has 
  held 
  for 
  a 
  long 
  time 
  a 
  leading 
  position 
  among 
  the 
  

   states 
  in 
  the 
  utilization 
  of 
  mineral 
  waters. 
  The 
  different 
  springs, 
  

   of 
  which 
  over 
  200 
  have 
  been 
  listed 
  as 
  productive 
  at 
  one 
  time 
  or 
  

   another, 
  yield 
  a 
  great 
  variety 
  of 
  waters 
  in 
  respect 
  to 
  the 
  character 
  

   and 
  amount 
  of 
  their 
  dissolved 
  solids. 
  There 
  are 
  some 
  that 
  contain 
  

   relatively 
  large 
  amounts 
  of 
  mineral 
  ingredients 
  and 
  are 
  specially
