achs immediately after drinking their morning 

 bottle, but of no long duration, nor to any great 

 degree. 



" It is impoffible to fay with certainty the num- 

 ber of cures tbefe waters have made, or what par- 

 ticular cafes have received mod benefit from 

 ufing them ; for every perfon in the county pre- 

 fcribes the water for themfelves, and runs to the 

 well, or fends for the water, for every complaint, 

 acute and chronic. 



" I have indeed myfelf directed feveral people 

 with various complaints to drink them. Some 

 very foul faces have been quite cleared ; and, at 

 this time, a gentleman's fon, nine years of age, 

 with a herpes round the neck, which had proved 

 extremely obftinate to other means, has got a per- 

 fect: cure by drinking and warning with them; 

 and his fifter, a young lady of eighteen, who, from 

 an untoward recovery from the mealies and fmall- 

 pox, fell into a fort of habitual eryfipelas on the 

 face, head, breaft and arms, is now ufing them, 

 and, I think, with evident advantage. Some foul 

 ulcers on the legs, and one with every appearance 

 of a carious thigh bone, have been perfectly cured. 

 And a fervant-maid in my own family, who had 

 been for feveral years, periodically in the winter, 

 afflicted with fevere rheumatic pains in her arms 

 and moulders, received remarkable benefit from 

 this water, one fu miner; in fo much, that the 

 winter fucceeding {he had little or none of her 

 rheumatic pains, and her appetite and digeftion 

 were much improved."
