Two other classes of waters demand a few words of notice.- The French have much faith in the presence of minute quantities of arsenic in some of their springs, and trace arsenical effects,in those who drink them, and some French authors have established a class of arsenical waters. Bourboule in Auvergne is the strongest of them, and is said to contain i'-2th of a grain of arseniate of soda in 7 oz. of water. Baden-Baden, according to Bunsen's latest analysis, has a right to be considered an arsenical water. It is, however, extremely doubtful whether the small amounts of, arseniate of soda which have been detected, accompanied as they are by preponderating amounts of other salts, have any actual operation on the system. The following are among the most noted springs:
Bourboule, Mont Dore, Royat, Salies (Bigorres), Plombieres, Baden-Baden.

years lithium has been discovered in the waters of Baden-Baden; and various other places boast of the amount of that sub-stance in their springs. Indeed a new bath has been established at Assmannshausen on the Rhine in consequence of the discovery of a weak alkaline

spring
