elves in the neck, and the mesenteric glands were enlarged. In such
cases, when taken regularly for some weeks (half a tumbler thrice daily
after meals), the appetite returns, the digestive functions are improved,
the glandular swellings subside, and the whole system becomes
reinvigorated, so as to restore bloom to the cheek, brilliancy to the
eyes, vigour to the limbs, and the natural buoyancy of spirit to
childhood.

According to Dr. L. Playfair's analysis in 1852, one gallon of the water
was found to contain the following solid constituents:--

Grains.
Pro-carbonate of Iron 1.044
Silica 1.160
Sulphate of Lime 2.483
Alumina trace
Sulphate of Magnesia 0.431
Carbonate of Magnesia 0.303
Sulphate of Potash 0.147
Chloride of Sodium 1.054
Chloride of Potassium 0.450
7.072

The thermal water, as before stated, arises from various fissures in the
limestone rock, upon which formation the greater part of the town of
Buxton is built. The flow is uniform (during the heat and drought of
summer, and the cold and frost of winter) in volume, about 140 gallons
per minute, in temperature 82 deg. Fahrenheit, and in solid
constituents.

According to the latest analysis, made by Dr. Thresh in 1881, the
following results were obtained. The mud which had settled around the
mouths of the springs and floors of the tanks into which the water is
conveyed consisted of--

Grains.
Oxide of Manganese 80.32
Sulphate of Barium, Sand, &c. 1.08
Lead Oxide 0.15
Copper Oxide 0.07
Molybdic Acid 0.02
Iron and Aluminium Oxide 1.36
Cobalt Oxide 0.30
Zinc Oxide 0.46
Barium Oxide 0.79
Calcium 5.31
Strontium trace
Magnesium 3.18
Carbon Dioxide 3.23
Phosphoric Acid 0.01
Water 3.93
