TENNESSEE. 
The mineral springs of Tennessee are numerous and occur in all por- 
tions of the State. The geological formations being the same as those 
of the adjacent States, especially of Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, and 
Mississippi, the mineral springs are naturally of the same general char- 
acter. Chalybeate and sulphureted springs, therefore, predominate. 
Killebrew and Safford's Resources of Tennessee probably gives as com- 
plete an enumeration of the springs as any work published. The list 
presented here is largely indebted to it, and in addition has had the 
supervision of Prof. James M. Safford, State geologist of Tennessee. 
Acknowledgment is also due to him- for copies of analyses made by 
himself and by Prof. K. T. Lupton. 
A large number of the springs are used as resorts. Man\~ that were 
so frequented prior to the war have fallen into disuse, and other springs
