osit for some time, it is
then given in obstructions of the viscera, in dyspepsia, inappetence,
hypochondriasis, and in all relaxed and cachectic states of the
constitution. Dr Alibert who has frequently prescribed it in debility
of the digestive organs, chlorosis and in passive haemorrhages,
considers it may be classed amongst the most powerful of Chalybeate
waters.

The dose is from two to three glasses daily, it is purgative when taken
in a large quantity.

When used as Baths it is transported to the bathing establishment, or
_maison de sante_, at a short distance from the spring.

ROUEN.

Chief town of the department of the Seine-Inferieure, thirty leagues
from Paris.

Mineral springs of a ferruginous and calcareous nature, abound in the
town and neighbourhood.

Those of the _Fontaine Marecquerie_ are the most common in use. The
three sources which supply these fountains are respectively designated;

The _Royale_, the _Dauphine_, and the _Reinette_.

The waters have been analyzed by Mr Duboc of Rouen, who thereby
demonstrates that every pint of the _Marecquerie_ water, contains one
grain of carbonate of Iron, three grains of muriate of Lime, three
fourths of a grain of carbonate of Soda, two grains of a vegetable
extractive matter, and carbonic acid gas.

Several of the medical practitioners in Rouen, strongly recommend these
waters in obstinate intermittent fevers, engorgements of the Liver,
uterus and in leucorrhoea depending on general debility, and some
cutaneous eruptions.

Three or four glasses constitute a dose of the waters of the
_Marecquerie_, they should be drank at the fountain, as they soon become
tainted.

SAINT-GONDON.

A small town in the department of Loiret, near the banks of the Loire,
three leagues from Sully; its mineral waters rise a short distance from
the town.

The analysis of these waters is very incomplete, besides containing a
little carbonic acid gas, they hold in solution the carbonates of Iron,
Lime, Magnesia, etc.

The action of the Saint-Gondon mineral waters seem to affect more
particularly the urinary organs, the secretions of which, they increase
in a marked degree; they may be advantageously used in feebleness of the
bladder, as also in chronic catarrh which attacks this organ in old men.

In some cases they are purgative. One pint every morning is the
customary dose.

FORGES.

A small town in the department of the Seine-Inferieure, situated on a
