MINERAL SPRINGS OF THE UNITED STATES. 
[BULL. 32- 
RHODE ISLAND. 
The record of mineral springs for Rhode Islarfd is somewhat meager 
and so far as we can learn the springs are of comparatively little import- 
ance. It is said that, in connection with the spring near Pawtucket, 
there was in operation for a number of years an extensive water-cure 
and medical establishment. 
There may possibly be a few springs in the State that have escaped 
notice, and if so the waters are likely to be somewhat chalybeate.
