BAREGE Waters, in the Materia Medica, are cele- 

 brated thermal waters, fituated in and near the village of 

 Barege, on the French fide of the Pyrenees, at the foot of 

 thefe lofty mountain'?. There are four principal hot fprings 

 in this place, which differ, however, very confiderably in tcm- 

 pei-ature, the higheft being about iZo'^^Fahr. and the loweft 

 about 73°. This variety of heat gives every convenience 

 for batiiing, drinking, and topical application. Chemical 

 analyfis (hews in this water a quantity of fiilphur, in the foim 

 of fulphurated hydrogen, united to a fmall portion of foda, 

 a little common fait, and a kind of (limy bituminous matter. 

 The fulphur and the foda, together with the heat, may be 

 confidcred as the aftive ingredients, but the quantity of iht m 

 is very fmall ; as the water fcarcely exceeds diltilled water 

 in fpecific gravity. 



The waters of Barege are remarkable for a fmooth foapy 

 feel, and ihey give fupplenefs and fmoothncfs even to dead 

 ftin that is immerfed in them. They are ufed chiefly as a 

 difcutient and detergent bath, in refolving indolent tumours 

 and rigidity of the joints left by gouty or rheumatic aft'ec- 

 tions. They are alfo of great advantage in cutaneouj 

 difcafes. Internally taken, the water gives relief in difor-

 in fcvcral calculous aflcftions of the urinary organs. Saun-
