Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Experimental Enquiry Into the Chemical Properties and Medicinal Qualities of the Principal Mineral Waters of Ballston and Saratoga, in the State of New York: With Directions for the Use of Those Waters in the Various Diseases to Which They Are Applicable, and Observations on Diet and Regimen; To Which Is Added an Appendix, Containing a Chemical Analysis of the Lebanon Spring in the State of New-York The reputation which the waters of Ballston and Saratoga have so deservedly acquired, render them a subject of so much interest to the public, that it is to be presumed an Enquiry into their Chemical and Medicinal Qualities, will not be unacceptable. No person can seriously doubt that a perfect knowledge of the chemical properties of a mineral water is essential to the Physician who ventures to prescribe it. There is, perhaps, no country which abounds more with useful mineral waters than America; nor are there any which are less known, or whose real qualities have been so little attended to. The physician who is engaged in extensive practice, has no leisure for such an enquiry; and so few and inaccurate are the publications on this subject, that he knows not where to seek for information on so important a branch of his profession. It has been frequently suggested to me that an accurate analysis of the principal mineral waters of this country would be highly interesting as well to the philosopher as to the physician.
