CHAPTER XIV. 
The Chlor-Carbonate Group. 
The waters of group IV, containing an excess of carbonic- 
acid gas, are not numerous in this section, neither are those con- 
taining the chlorids and large quantities of bicarbonates very 
abundant. The waters have the therapeutic properties of both 
the chlorids and the ‘‘calcic’’ waters, as they are called by some 
authors. These waters are largely represented, however, in 
other sections of the country and abroad. The strong taste of 
a pure brine, or of a brine containing sulfates, is modified by 
the presence of the calcium, magnesium, and sodium carbonate, 
and, in such waters as the Empire spring, at Saratoga Springs, 
it is modified by the great excess of carbonic-acid gas dissolved 
in the water. 
his group is represented by the following waters : 
Cherryvale well, Montgomery county. 
Iola well, Allen county. 
Miller’s well, Norwood, Franklin county. 
Paola well, Miami county. 
Piqua, Woodson county. 
Wyandotte, Wyandotte county, gas well. 
Fort Scott artesian, Bourbon county. 
Cherryvale Well, Montgomery County. 
A sample of water has been received from Dr. M. A. Findley, 
of Cherryvale, that is of considerable interest. The water is 
from a well about three miles northwest of the city, near Drum 
creek. The well is bored, and the water is said to come from a 
depth of about 120 feet. A partial analysis of the water has 
been made, with the following result:
