"The principal spring yields about 18 gallons per minute; and it is a remarkable fact that this quantity is not perceptibly increased or diminished during the longest spells of wet or dry weather; while other bold springs of the country have failed during the long droughts of the summer, this has invariably observed the even tenor of its way. There is no discoloration of the water during long wet spells, or other evidences that it becomes blended with common water percolating through the earth. The quantity and temperature of this spring being uniform under all circumstances, gives a confidence, which experience in its use has verified, of its uniform strength and efficiency. "The present proprietor of this property came into possession of it in the year 1808, but did not personally undertake its improvement until the summer of 1818. Before this period, the buildings for the accommodation of visiters, although sufficient for the number of persons that then resorted to the place, were exceedingly rude, being altogether small wooden huts. The interest and enterprise of the proprietor, soon led him into a different and more appropriate system of improvement, and from small beginnings he has gone on, progressing in the rapid ratio of demand, until, from the 'tent' accommodations in 1779, and the 'log-cabin' in 1784, the place now, both in elegance and extent, exhibits the appearance of a neat and flourishing village, affording comfortable and convenient accommodations, (including the surrounding hotels,) for from twelve to fifteen hundred persons." For a full account of the White Sulphur Springs, we refer the reader to a work written by Dr. Moorman, from which we have taken the liberty of extracting one or two paragraphs. The White Sulphur Water has been analyzed by Professor Rogers, and the result of his examination is as follows:-- "Solid matter procured by evaporation from 100 cubic inches of White Sulphur Water, weighed, after being dried at 212°; 65.54 grains. _Quantity of each solid ingredient in 100 cubic inches, estimated as perfectly free from water._ Sulphate of lime, 31.680 grains. Sulphate of magnesia, 8.241 " Sulphate of soda, 4.050 " Carbonate of lime, 1.530 " Carbonate of magnesia, 0.506 " Chloride of magnesium, 0.071 " Chloride of calcium, 0.010 " Chloride of sodium, 0.226 " Protosulphate of iron, 0.069 " Sulphate of alumine, 0.012 " Earthy phosphates, a trace. Azotized organic matter blended with a large proportion of sulphur, about 5 grains. Iodine combined with sodium or magnesium. _Volume of each of the gases in a free state, contained in 100 cubic inches._
