derful rapidity. It is no wonder then that uric acid, syphilitic poisons, 

 other materials of disease, and mercurial and other metallic poisons 

 are soon eliminated from the system. With such effects as those men-

 rheumatism, gout, syphilis, neuralgia, etc. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



In writing the above pages on the medicinal value of mineral waters 

 I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the following works: 



"Mineral Springs of the United States and Canada," by G. E. Wal- 

 ton; "Mineral Waters of the United States and Their Therapeutic 

 Uses," by J. K. Crook, and "Mineral Waters of Missouri, a Report 

 of the Missouri Geological Survey," bj T Paul Schweitzer. 



In the following pages there first appears a table showing the tem- 

 peratures of the springs at different dates. This is followed b}^ a 

 second table showing the flow, in gallons per twenty-four hours, of 

 each spring-. Finally the analysis of each spring is given, accompanied 

 by a hypothetical combination of the various bases and acids, and any 

 remarks that might be of interest.
