MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
IBULL.32. 
NORTH CAROLINA. 
North Carolina enjoys the distinction of being one of the two States 
on the Atlantic coast that possess hot springs. Usually her mineral 
springs are not different from those occurring along the coast and in 
the region of the Appalachians in the neighboring States. As in Vir- 
ginia, chalybeate and sulphureted springs are most numerous. The 
books usually credit the State with four or five localities. The pres- 
ent list includes 66 , of which a fair proportion are utilized as places of 
resort, while many have well-established local reputations. Seven of 
the springs are used commercially. Analyses are given of 18 springs. 
For a considerable number of these thanks are due to Prof. Charles 
W. Dabney, jr., of the State agricultural experiment station. Others 
are taken from Professor Kerr's report on the geology of North Caro- 
lina. The greatest part of the information as to the spring localities 
has been derived from direct correspondence with the spring-owners.
