NEW HAMPSHIRE. 
Mr. G. W. Hawes, in Hitchcock's Geology of New Hampshire, says 
there are a large number of mineral springs in various parts of the 
State and that chalybeate waters are the most common. He mentions 
those of Pittsfield, Amherst, and Unity as the best known. Walton's 
book gives four localities. Pepper's list includes nine. In the present 
catalogue the number is increased to eleven. 
A fair proportion are utilized commercially or as resorts, although 
as a rule the springs are not highly mineralized. In this respect they 
agree with most of the springs in the other New England States.
