timonial of a Harrogate Physician are given below for the candid perusal of the reader. ANALYSES, &c. I have analysed the water of three Sulphur Springs in the Grounds of Mr. Wright, at Harlow Car, near Harrogate, and find them to contain, in an Imperial Gallon, the following Salts, expressed in Grains; also the following Gases, expressed in Cubic Inches, per Gallon. THE SULPHUREOUS SPRINGS, SPRING No. 2. 4,73 Muriate of Lime 1,15 Sulphate of Magnesia 6,93 Carbonate of Magnesia 8,43 5,88 Carbonate of Lime.. 14,11 Carbonate of Soda.... 17,64 Total Solid Contents 32,8 Total Solid Contents 38, CUBIC INCHES .12 CUBIC INCHES 5,75 Sulphuretted Hydrogen 3,15 Sulphuretted Hydrogen 2.8, ...... 6,05 Carbonic Acid 8,34 Nitrogen 7.97 Carbonate of Soda.... 12,9 Total Gaseous Contents 17, These Waters are extremely similar, and might for medicinal purposes be considered as the same; the similarity is much greater than is represented by the figures, the total of the Lime and Magnesia being nearly the same in each, though in somewhat different combinations. It is quite plain from these Analyses, that these waters differ materially from those of the Old Well, and other Saline Sulphureous Springs; they contain little Saline Matter. They will have their own medicinal properties, depending on the pre ence of Sulphuretted Hydrogen and Carbonate of Soda, and the absence of Muriate of Soda. I am of opinion. that they may form an useful addition to the variety of important Mineral Waters of Harrogate. WILLIAM WEST. Harlow, 13th of 5th Month, 1844. THE CHALYBEATE SPRING. I consider it to be of a very desirable strength. There are other Chalybeate Springs very near, but they are not so strong. WILLIAM WEST. Harlow, 13th of 5th Month, 1844. DR. KENNION'S TESTIMONIAL.. "The trial which I have already made, pretty extensively, of the Harlow Sulphureous Alkaline Waters, lately brought into notice, fully authorizes me to express my opinion of the benefit which may be derived from its use. in a variety of cases where the Old Sulphur Water' is inadmissable. "It is not. therefore, to be considered at all as a rival to the latter, but, from its peculiar composition, it may be regarded as a most valuable addition to the Spas with which this place is already so much enriched."
