SPRINGS (laie from the most rcmr.te periods of history. The Arabians, the Kgyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and, in fact, all nations of the world have used Mineral Spring Wate.s for med.cinal purposes. Hippocrates, Aristotle, Herodotus, and even Homer wrote of them, in ptose and poetry ; temples dedicated to .Ksciilapius, the god of medicine, were erected near them, and the springs were made the sites of hospitals, medical schools, baihs and resorts for the diversion of the sick. For Many Centuries Mineral Waters were the only medicines used in Rome, and there still exist many traces of ancient Roman baths, consisting of buildings of great architectural beauty, and adorned with statuary and mosaics that were very celebrated. In our practical day we have shorn the J^piings of the superstitions of the ancients, and the busy habits of modern times do n.^t permit us to spend the time and the elaborate preparations upon the [)ath that were be- stowed ujion it in the luxurious days of im- perial Rome. — I — • 4 The First Work opon the Quality of water printed in America treats of it from a therapeutical standpoint. It is entitled "The Curiosities of Common Water, of the Advan- tages thereof in Curing Cholera, Intemper- ance and other Maladits," by John Smith, CM. It was printed in Boston, Massachu- setts, from the London edition of 17 12, for Joseph Edwards, at the corner shop on the north side of Town JIousc, in 1721;. It calls special attenti(m to the excellency of water as a drink, and enumerates its therapeutical at- tributes as follows ; " It cures gout and hypo- chondriacal melancholy ; it benefits gravel and stone in the bladder ; it makes the child grow strong in the womb, and increases the mother's milk ; it stays hunger, for there was a certain crank-brained man, who, at Leyden, when Dr. Carr was there at the University, pretended that he could fast as long as Christ, and it v/as found that he held out the term of forty days without eating any food, only he drank water and smoked tobacco. Water is also of great use to strengthen weak children ; it prevents swelling from bruises, sickness of the stomach, shortness of breath and vomit- ing ; it cures fluxes, constipation, colic, small- pox, etc." — 2 — What is Mineral Water? From the Standoomt of PhvMciAnc ^ Mineral \V;.tcr is any water that has an eflect npon the human system, no matter how feebly minerah/c-d it may be ; that is, it is any water that possesses medicinal virtues, whether they be due to the presence of orjranic. inorganic or gaseous contents, or to the principle <.f heat. Under this defmilion, therefore, wouM I)e inchuled many waters that, from a chemical standpoint, nnght be considered very pure, or chemically indiflerent. From the Standpoint of the Deafer in bottled Mineral Waters, the denniticm has, of course, a very wide range. From this point of view, all waters put upon die matktt for sale, in bottles or barrels, or in any other way, come under the head of Mineral Waters, and in collecting the statistics of the com- mercial aspect of the subject it has l)een found impossible to draw any definite line, either according to the mineralization of the water or the uses to which it is put. A number of the waters would be considered indifferent when viewed in the light of their chemical composition, but it must be remembered that some of the pure waters have an undoubted therapeutical effect, and that chemical analy- sis, wliich is absolutely reliable only in its esti- mation of l)asic salts and acids, will not al- ways exj)lain the medicinal effects of a water, and that small (|uantities of some constituents are often more effective as remedial ajrenls than others that are present in larger quantities. MINERAL SPRINGS,-Theif Origin. " From whence comes the abundant, never-fiiiling supply of Mineral Water, chanj^- iug but little from day to day, cjo^ing, bub- bling, spouting, in all sorts of fantastic figures. The undisputed facts are that all springs, mineral or otherwise, are meteoric in their origin. Springs have always been a very puz- zling question and a fruitful subject of debate for ancient philosophers." '^Aristotle taught that there were large cavities in the interior of the earth filled with air, and that this air con- densed to water on the cold ceilings and made its way to the surface through fissures." ''Vfrtruvius believed that springs were due to an accinnulation of ram and melted snow in subterranean reser- voirs." ** Descartes imagfined ■ tliaf the .-^ea was the source of the water which tl-.wed into suhierranean caverns, was vaporized, and afterwards condensed, fmaDy escaping to the surface through crevices in the rocks." " The water of Mineral .Springs, as of all other springs, is now, however, recognized as no new creation, but it is well known that the spr.ng is only one of the phases of an acp.cous circulation which begins ane//cr and mcc to the satisfacti(,n of persons who have rheum- atism, gout, dys,)epsia in any of its forms • constipation, the most common and worst all troubles that humanity is adlicte.l with • liver trouble, kidney or bladder trouble, is for the sufferers to know that just such troubles huT'e been cured in many instances hy the use of this water, and jvith no other remedies. The Reputation i' of this water has been established l,y persons who have tried all other remedies and who have Jaded to get relief until obtained by the use of this extraordinary fluid. If persons who may read this pamphlet will read over the testimonials in another part, they will most likely find cases similar to their own have been acted on and cured, an.l that, loo, with no other assistance than a liberal supply of (he water. We have testimonials enough to fill a large book, ami others are constantly commg to us from persons made happy by being relieved from sufferings that they have -9— not otherwise lieen able to get rid of by the use of medicine and the best of physicians. And this, too, has reference to ahnost every form of disease. Of course, this seems un- lilinatio)i and has made a mixture oj minerals as curious and ..J mysterious as are ike cures that it effects. — 12 — I i i Abenakis Mineral Baths. The Curative properties of Abenakis Mineral Water are far famed. The water used for bathing flows from the same spring from which visitors drink. An analysis of this water shows it to contain about 883 grains of Saline Solids per imperial gallon, and so far as medication of the waters can favor- ably affect the bath for which they are used, the Abenakis Baths have the strongest claim to confidence, inas- much as no other waters that are used for bathing are more highly impreg- nated with mineral salts. These baths, in connection with the drinking of mineral waters, al- though not required in every case, are a matter of utmost importance in a large number of cases in aiding to produce the best effect of the waters. Those desiring to use the hot Mineral Baths, the effects of which are pronounced, should before taking them be advised as to the temperature and length of time to remnin in. -13- Analysis of Abenakis Mineral Water* Samples of Abcnakis Mineral Water have been suhmilteil to the inosl eminent chem- ists of the country, and quite a nuniher of analysis made. We take pleasure in {giving you herewith the result. OiKicE (IK riiK I'uBiic Analyst, MON'IKKAI., Jl'I.V, IcSSj " I hcieiiy certify thai upon a careful analysis of a larfie sample of the Ahenakis Mineral Water of the St. I'raiuois du Lac Alienakis Springs, I find as follows : — *' Total Sahne Solids, 883.4 grs. per imperial gallon.' These are chielly chlorides of calcium, mai;- nesium, potassium and sodium, with a slight trace of liiliium, a very valuable alkaline solvent. It is, in every respect, a medicinal water of the Saline class, beinj^ pur|^alive, allerati\'e and antiacid. It contains a fair share of alkalim.' bromides, iodides and phos- phates, and would be rendered still more valuable by aeration with c.irl)onic acid gas and suitable dilution. As a Seltzer Water It would compete with the finest Saline Springs of Germany." (Sij;nt(I) JOHN BAKER EDWARDS, Ph.D., F.CS , rul'lic Analyst, Montreal. Prof. Harrington, of the University of Mc(iill College, Montreal, says : "It contains chloride of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, the car- bonate of iron, bromide and iodide of magnesium, sulphit of lime alumina, and phosphoric acid." There is a second mineral spring, about ftfty feet from the former, containing many ol the above ingre- dients- but it is of the sulphurous class, .nnd has also proved to be a very valuable sj)ccific for certain classes of common ailments. There is also a soft fresh water spring near by, whose waters are greatly prized., l.'eing clear, cnoj and delicious. -14- A s Cbej|ben<)ki$$priiia$ House and Mineral Springs are (leliglilfiiliy situated near the vilin^'e of San Francois sl Office is Al>enakis SpHni^s, Yantaska County, P.Q., to -u'ln\h all mail should h adaressetL Amusement and Recreation* One is not restrained to the conventionalities of city life.

Dear Sir, —During the several years that I have practiced medicine in this parish, I have often had occasion to judge of the eflicncy of the mineral waters 01 the Ai)enakis Springs, when they are used in suit- ahie cases. Of the twi) springs wliich there are in this locali- ty, one furnishes Ahenakis Mineral Water which pos- sesses veVy iHonounced purgative qualities; it is also alterative and anliacien- akis Springs water, as I have seen wonderful results from its use. One case in particular I would mention, that of an old lady who had been suffering with a long-standing indolent ulcer, which liad affected her health greatly. She had been tic ited by physicians, but without any apparent benefit. By the advice of friends she was induced to try the water from your springs, and, very much to my surprise, in less than two months the ulcer had entirely healed, and her general health has improved wonderfully. I con- sider her at present perfectly cured. I could men- tion other cases, jjarticularly rheumatic or affections of the kidneys, for which I think the Abcnakis Water has no equal. T. I). WnciiKR, INI.D. SCIATICA RHEUMATISM CURED. Bedford, fanunry 23. Dear Sir, ~\ consider it a privilege to be num- bered among those who have testified in favor of your valuable Spring Water known as Abenakis Mineral Spring Water. I had suffered six months from that terrii>le di.sease, sciatica rheumatism. The family physician did ail in his power to cure, but failed to give relief only for the lime being. I was advised by a friend to visit Abenakis Springs, which I diil last August 22nd. I made a short stay of ten days, and came home rejoicing. Have been able to work ever since. And about a year ago my wife was taken with bil- ious fever, grip|)e and indigestion, which le(t her in a very low condition ; also had scrofulous eczema of long standing ; had not been able to do any work for one year. She accoinpanieil me to the Sprirgs. Is greatly improved in every way, and now doing her own work. Yours truly, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Knekland. —24- INDOLENT ULCER. Beebe Plain, April 22. For five years I suffered witli an indolent ulcer on my leg. 1 tried everything under the sun to heal, without success. I was very much run down fmm the constant drain upon the system. Rheumalisni and dyspepsia troubled me. As a last resort, and not with much faith. I concluded to try Ahenakis ^prmg Water. To-day the ulcer is healed, and has been f.^r a long time. .My dyspepsia and rheumatism are cured, and I am a well man. I am satisfied the water will cure all diseases of the blood, rheumatism and dyspepsia.

DYSPEPSIA AND KIDNBY TROUBLE CURED. .Stanstead, P.Q., April 2. This is to certify that I have for several years been afflicted with the worst form of dyspepsia and kidney trouble. I could eat nothing without sufter- ing the most excruciating pain for several hours, both in my stomach and kidneys. I consulted several phyMcians, and took any quantity of nauseous drugs without the least benefit. I had entirely des|)aired of ever getting relief when I was induced to try the cele- i)rated .Abenakis Water, and to my great joy I com- menced to improve at once. To-day I am a well man, can eat anything without feeling the least incon- venience from it, my kidney trouble is entirely well, and I am as free from pain as I ever was, even in my youth. To all suffering as I have been I would say, '* Throw physic to the dogs and drink of the great, healthful mineral water —nature's beverage— and you will never regret it."

I intended to write to you sooner, but put it oif froni time to time until now. I will always thank (iod that he directed me to Abenakis Springs, for I was not eight days home from the Springs until I passed a stone from my kidneys.

Staples, has suffered for years from a very severe form of dyspepsia ; also from scrofula, showing itself often in glandular swellings which, filling with ''pus," would have to be lanced and continue long as troublesome ulcers. She had been prescribed for by nnny physicians, and had taken many (so-called) remedies, but hari found no permanent benefit. Last July she visited Abcnakis Springs and stopped two weeks. An abscess on her neck, which had been lanced about five weeks before leaving home, but showed no signs of healing, was, when she returned, almost entirely healed ; and for months after her return she suflered no inconvenience from indigestion. lam fully convinced that the water of the justly famous Abenakis Springs, as adminis- tered under the direction of Kimpton cSc Leith, for drinking, bathing, fomentations, etc., is almost a complete specific for the cure of dyspepsia, rheuma- tism, scrofula, and kindred diseases.

I was confined to my bed l)y a severe attack of "la t^rii-pe" in January, which resulted in dyspepsia in its worst form, and after an iHness of nearly six months, during which time I spent live weeks at Long Island, I'ortland Harbour, without benefit, my phy- sician suggested that I visit Abenakis Springs. I did so, and after using the water two weeks the results were mo:.t gratifying. I purchased a barrel of the water and have used it during the present winter, and i take much pleasure in saying that I have nearly re- covered from the disease. I would not be without this excellent water in my house. Sincerely yours, Geo. L. Pinkham. INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CURED. Lowell, Mass., April 22. For twelve years I was laid up from two to five months each yenr with intlammatory rheumatism. I was confined to my bed the greater part of the time, unable to move hand or foot, and the pains I suffered were something terrible. I was treated by the best physicians in Lowell, and of course got relief, but nothing permanent. I was never free from pain, and worked in misery— what little time I did work. I got discouraged, thinking that I must endure this as long as I lived, when I was advised by a friend of mine to go to the Abenakis Springs, stay two or three weeks, drink freely of the water and use the baths. I did so, and to my great joy I got relief, so that for fhe past year I have not had an ache or pain, h.ave worked every day, and never felt more like working in my life. It is wonderful what an invigorating effect the water has upon the system. It seems to give new life and vigor. I feel that I cannot speak in high enough terms of the wonderfu'. mineral water. I am, respectfully yours, Austin Bodwell. -29- VALUABLE REMEDY. .. Newport, Vt,, May 2.
