Excerpt from The Mineral Springs of Virginia: With Remarks on Their Use, the Diseases to Which They Are Applicable, and in Which They Are Contra-Indicated, Accompanied by a Map of Routes and Distances, a New Work In the Preface to the first edition, I promised I should take an early occasion to visit the Eastern group of the Virginia Springs, and annex notices'of them in any subse quent issue of this work. I now execute this promise, (how imperfectly I am well aware, ) and accordingly there will be found in this edition notices of Jordan's White Sul phur, Shannondale, Capon and Berkeley Springs; also an account of the Healing Springs - among the Western group. The Profession and my readers generally will regret that I have been unable to procure analyses of those Springs, but I have found it impossible to obtain them, unless I were to pay the expense out of my own pocket; and that has al ready been su iciently lightened by my efforts to illustrate the virtues of the Mineral Waters of Virginia. Through the liberality of John W. Frazier, Esq., and of the late venerable and lamented Dr. Brockenbrough, I am enabled to give interesting analyses of the Rockbridge Alum, Bath Alum and Warm Springs, by that distinguished chemist, Dr. Hayes of Boston. To Messrs. Erskine Caruthers, pro prietors of the Salt Sulphur, I am indebted for an analysis of the Iodine Salt Sulphur. There will also be found analyses by Prof. Rogers, (not before published, ) of the Blue Sulphur and Sweet Springs, for which I am under obliga tions to Drs. Hunter and Tyndall. So it will be seen that my gleanings in this field have not been altogether unpro ductive. Perhaps, at a future season, they may be more abundant. Be this as it may, I cannot but feel grateful to the public for their appreciation of my humble labors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
