Springs that the groat uttracti m towards this sp it
consists. The Proprietor has no exaggerated lists
of cures to present to the public, for he has just 1
taken possession, nor would he deem it a compliment
cither to the good taste or sagacity of the
Eublic, to present such if he had them. Out he
as the assurance of some of the most scientific
Physicians and Chemists, to the rare and valuable
properties of these Springs. In 1S24, Professor
Olmsted (now of Yule College] made a strict an- i J,
