(Reprinted from the Boston Medical and Surgi- cal Journal, June 10, 1875.) Read Before the Rampshire District Medical So- ciety, AMay 12, 1875, MISERAL WATERS are probably the most nota- ble of all the remedial agents which have heen used by man from s very early period; their curative powera Niave not only inspired his faity, but have also retained it to a considerable ex- tont, and this, t00, notwithstanding the medical profession of late years has seemed largely to overlook the real merits of these therapentio agents. While I have for maoy years regarded the waters of Saratogs Springs as an agreeablo bev- erage and a pleasant ovacusat, I have, in com- mon with very many, it not with a large msjor- ity of the medical profession, loaked npon thoss springs rather as 8 resort of the gay votaries of.| pleasure aod fashion, than of those seeking benefit from medicinal waters. « Such is nn- doubtedly the fact to a considerablo degree ; and to this is probably due the belief that whatever of renswed health and vigor may follow & visit to this renowned place i8 to be ascribed rathor to the pure and stimulating air, to » relaxation | and relief from the engrosements of business, to a temporary changs of habits of life, aud to tho varied and pleasurable excitements attend- ant upon & sojourn in the midst of ecenes so diverting, than to the real remedial qualities of tho minerak epriogs. Admitting that these influences have a happy and beneficial effect upon the overworksd, still there is a large cinsy of invalids who resort there, not to be active participants in gay scenes, buat to drink the waters, and who do find them health-giving and possessed of positive curative value. In euch cazes the invigorated health and renovated spirits cannot be sacribed simply to & change of air or to the relaxation which the so~ cial attractions and ammsemsnts of the place afrord; for withont the use of the water these results do not 8o surely follow, neither do they follow in- e T Three yoars ago I visited Saratoga Springs with a different object in view and in a different condition tban ever.befors; I wentthen 23 s secker after health, and became an exceadingly interested and eritical observer end investigator, For many months prior to that time I had be- come tho subject of persistent ingomnia. Slecp would visit my eyelids but fer a brief period at & time; from thirty to sixty minutes was its aver- sge duration, to be succecded by long intervals of wakefalness. Accompanying this vigilance was the still more Gistressing melady of vertigo, from which I sui- fered often, and which at times confined me to my bed from two toeight days, then wearing gradually off, to be speedily followed by another attack, quite as disabling and prostrating as se- vere sea-sickness. A faw hours of mental exer~ tion, mental anxiety, or any fatigue that low- ered the standard of my health £t that time was enflicient to produce an attack of vertigo in ita severer forms. My stomach symputhized in the general de- rangement, and was not, a3 might be sapposed, & primary cause of the mischief. - Anything and everything that ato caused distress. The ac- tion of the heart was feeble, and = very decided dropsy of my lezs now showed itself and becamo exceedingly troublesomo, the wdema increasing persistentiy. Moderato physical exercise overcame me. A ride of six or eight miles exhansted me, and with this there was not the slightest emaciation. 1 was the victim of greatnervous prostration; a diagnosis which was coofirmed by a number of my professional brethren, who, after most thor- ough investigation, were unablo to discover or- guoic disease. Having failod to get relief from ‘remedies suggested from the pharmacopeeia, I resortod in this condition to Saratoga Springs, not ay bofore for rolazation and enjoyment, but for the purpoee of drinking the watera for taeir medicinal and remedial effects, Theso waters, in tho nomenclatare of mineral eprings, are koown as alkaline-saline waters. Leiog highly charged with carbonic acid gas, thoy talie up and hold in solation the alkaline carbonates and chloride of sodium principally ; though some of the eprings, in addition to these, hold carbonate of iron, carbonate of lithia, iodide of eodium, and other salts more or less in solution. The large amount of carbonic acid gus contained in these waters not only incresses the sofvent powers of that mensiraum, enabling it 4o take up and bold in solution & favorable combination of ingredients, but renders them very easy of digestion, and to most persons very sgreeable to the taste. T Here, in these waters, but more especially in that from the Hathorn Spring, T found s remedy that seenied to meet the indications in my own csce. These indications evidently were, to put the digestive organs into healthy action, to un- load the plethoric visoeral vessels, to stimulate the emnnctories, and to so break up and change the acid nnd other secretions of the stomach that food might be digested and assimilated readily. Tne Hathorn Spring, which was accidentally discovered in 1868, and which is already taking & lesding place for ita prompt and certain thera~ pentic properties, contained the combinstion of chemical agents that wers indicated in the con~ dition I was in at thst time. In taste and general charscter this water resembles that of the celebrated Congregs Spring; it is atronger, however, in Bome ita constitoents, more prompt and certain in its action, and contains also n bicarbonate of Lthis, which renders its diuretic properties of great value. The following is the ANALYSIS OF THE HATHORN SPRING. 509,963 grains, . 8597 « . LE34 “ ity, Lovs. It will be observed that the quantity of salts contained in this water, excepting the chloride of sodium, I8 comparatively small. Its thern- Peutic action, howevor, when taken in the usual quantity is much groater than the small amount of the salts would proaace 1f combined artificial- 15. Inits remoto action it 1, like other mineral waters, » powerfui altorative when taken in mod- erate quantities, for a considerable time. When en explanation of these facts is asked for, we can only quote in reply that calm and cerefal inveatigator and most brillisnt practi- tioner of our day, tho lamented Trousseen, wkor writing of the peculiar therapeutic effect of min- eral waters, saya: “Whatever may be said of them, mineral waters are not simple medica- ments; whatever may be the .predominant min- eralizing agent as demonstratod by analyeis, it acta notalone. Nature, in combining with the more or less notable elements which chemistry may isolate other exceedingly varisble ingredi- ents and principles which have not yet been dis- covered, has dons for this mineralized agent that which we seek to imitate each day in our prescriptions when we endeavor to reinforce or diminish the effacta of a medicinal substance by associsting others withit. In making duo al- lowance for the pprticular phenomens which may result from the sction of such or sach cle- ments which enter into the composition of a mineral water, we should not attribate to a sin- gle principle, bowever dominaut it appears in the chemcal analyeis, 2fl the properties of the water; and clinical experience only can permit us to judge. This is so exceedingly true that dyspepaias, allied to 2 grave cachectic state T do not now spoak of paludal cachesia) aro admira- bly modified by very different waters; by those waters in which the mineralizing principle ez capes, 80 to speak, chemical analysis. . . . Plombieres and Bagneres-de-Bigorre, in the par- ticolar disease which occupies us in virtne of an sction which escapes us, and which I know not how to explain, triumph over rebell- ious dyspepsiss. Under their salutary inflo- |; ence the appetite revives, the constitution is ro— organized; patients affected with dropsy, with visceral engorgement, arrive at Plombicres or at Bigorre in s deplorable state, and depars after single seaco, in a condition notable ameliora~ ted, and are often cuzed in & manner altogether unexpected.” What Treugeeau says of Plombieres, X am able, {rom & personal experiencs, to say of Hathorn Bpring water. Ita therapentic mction is very prompt. When tuken in the morning, it is agree- 8ble to the teste, gratefal to the stomsch, and acts officiently a8 20 evacuant ; and while it may, and in many cases does, induce fuil and copious defections, they are not attended with pam; meither is languor nor debility experiencad by tho patient ;- but, on the contrary, a feeling of refreshment and invigoration. The immediate effect npon the digestive organs, whether Bn- paired by disease or exhausted from any cause, is to increase their powers of assimilation and nutrition, the sppetite being increased at once. That oppression which i often felt, that sense of fullnesa which was termed ** abdominal pleth- .ora” by the qld anthors, that condition, in which the liver, spleen, and is diminished with a gratifying sense of rolief. To those affocted with what has been gup- posed ta be an engorged condition of the liver, characterized by a dusky comploxion, & coated tongue, o pasty, bad taste in the mouth, a capri- cious appetite and sluggish action of the bowels, with 2 sense of fullness in the head and of men- tal dullness, this water proves most valuable. It seems to liguify the bile, csusing it to flow freely, and gives inzreesed sciion to the iates- tinal canal. Whon taken more frequently and in smaller quantities than the cathartic dose, its effectupon the kidneys is no lees happy. Its notion upon the renal secretions is prompt, uniform, and quite certain. A turbid, irritating urive is quickly cleared up by it ; the uretors and blad- der are soothed, and many cases of vesical ca- tarrh are quito relieved by it. In some of the cutaneous diseases, thoss more espocially dependent upon an acid state of the secretions, theze mineral waters are benefi- cial, both from their atkaline propertiea and from thoir dopurative effects. Such, in brief. are some of the therapeutic effects of the Hathorn Spring water, to the use of which I atéribute the entire relief I have ob- tained from the mncomfortable symptoms do- tailed above. Sleep, quiet and refreshing, has returned to my pillow. The only consciousness I now bave of a stomaca, when it is kindly treated, is from its irtimations of hunger; and the dropey, which was troublesome for £0 long a time, and which suggested serious reflections, has disappeared; streogth and s comforfable amonnt of endurance have supplanted a fesling of languor and of debility. The dyspepric symp-. toms and the dropsy were speodily relieved by a short eenson at tiie springs ; they rotarned, how- ever, after a littlo timo, but a continned uso of tho water for few montha bronght abont a per- manent condition of health. 1 hsve referced to my own cavs with so tmch of dotail a3 it is illustrative of thus subject, ana because some of you are familiar with it, and to you I am under obligationa for kind profesaional advice and assistance. * Dr. Fisk was lately President of the Massachuseits Btats E:dlul‘ Bociety,—{£D, ’ HATHIRNSPR Water 1S SOLD IN 3 BOTTLES ONLY, BY ALL THE PRINCIPAL G, Drnogist. and ol IN THE U_NIT_E]E STATES.

To the Eator of The Chicago Tridune: Cmicaco, Sept. 24.—The editoria! articte in the Chicsgo Times of Bunday, Sopt. 19, on ‘“The Episcopal Canvention,® is creditable peither to the bead nor to the hears of tho Seymour-Deiioven Pitualistic leaders of the Diocess of Illinois. But I fresly acquit the Times of all other regponsibilicy for it than that of putting mto shape and print the utterances of oue or two well-known men who, under pecu- lisr circumstances, have obtained a leading influence and exercised o most utnfortuna‘e control over the Diocess, and especually over the last Conventicn of the Epiecopal Church in Tllincis. During all thia time, and especially for the last two months, these men, who aro well known, and will henceforth becomo notorious mot omly i, ths Episcopal Church in thn Diocese of Tilinois, but throughout the United States, bave usecd the Timesas their organ, and have in it set forth their policy, such as it was, sod dealt out the most abuse of ail who-opposed their plans for the government of the Liocess, aod for arraiguicg it in heatility to ail otder parts of the Charch. To exposs thess plans, to cowiteract their mis- chievons infinscce, 2ad to do juatico to tha mmnority whom they misrepreseat, proposs to analyzo the editarial of Sept. 19, in which these men endeavor {0 cover up eoms of their past blunders and take a new deparsura for the fature cantrol of the Diocese end of the new Bishop. ‘They commence by axguin 3 that they **feel grati-’ fled that the Diocesan Cop vention of Tlinois saw fit to follow their cloice in the election of a Bishop.” The trutn is tiat the Diocssan Con- vontion did exactly tho opposits of what the clique which the 7Times represents proposed. They propesed orw of two things : first, if they could in any way effect it, to make Dr. Do Koven Bishop of Illinyis, and, at all events, to keep him in in the *joaition of Bishop-elect. But, secondly, if they could not offoct that factious purpose, thers iq ** place the Diocese in commus- _sion,” 8a the,y tormed it,—that is, torefuss to g0 into 8 new clection for Bishop, but to commit the Diocese, for an indefinito tims, to the care either of 3 neighboring Bishop, or of :gore oze brooght - from abrosd, whetbor from England or from Anstralia. The object in doing this would of course be to set the General Cosvencion and Standing Com- mi ttaes of the Church, who had rejected thuir ¢ indidates, at defiance, and so manipulate them thas Wey would be compelied to receive sither e good eense end loyalty to the Charch of-Dr. Locke, Dr. Mansfield, Dr. Chase, Judge Otia, arid somo others, who had sdpported Prof. Lymso and Dr. Do Koven for the Episcopate, Prevented the accomplishment of thess designs of a reckless clique.
