The mineral springs of the United States and Canada, with analyses and notes on the prominent spas of Europe, and a list of sea-side resorts . arbonic acid . Sulphuretted hydrogen . trace. Properties.—The above analysis shows these waters to bestrongly alkaline, and at the same time containing a smallproportion of iron. They also contain sufficient of the saltsof lime to ally them to calcic waters. From the constituentswe would expect the waters to prove beneficial in acid dyspep-sia, biliary calculus, and diseases of the bladder. The resultsof treatment, as exhibited by Dr. Stiles Kennedy,1 show thewaters to have been especially beneficial in dyspepsia andneuralgia. From his report of cases treated at the St. LouisSpring we have compiled the following table. (See page 151.) Many of these cases were doubtless of the severest type;and the above results certainly appear favorable. It must beremembered, however, that all cases treated by Dr. Kennedyare not reported, and that of all who visited the spring only i Magnetic and Mineral Springs of Michigan. By Stiles Kennedy, M. D.
