Upon this analysis I have to remark, that if the results are correctly- 

 stated, it is one of the most notable that has heretofore been published ; 

 at least, in so far as the New- York Sulphur Springs are concerned. 

 The amount of solid matter is unusually large, and it must serve to 

 keep up the high reputation of this favorite watering place. 



Sulphur Springs, Sharon, Schoharie county. Three springs at 

 Sharon were analyzed by Prof. Lawrence Reid, of New-York, in 1844, 

 and the results published in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natu- 

 ral Sciences of Philadelphia, vol. 2, p. 120, (for October, 1844.) The
