The latter had existed for some years,\\nClironic Cystitis of a painful character being set up. I considered the case as one fit for\\nthe operation of Lithotrity, and shortly after, yet with difficulty, succeeded in breaking\\none of the calculi into three pieces.\\nAt this time your Bowden Lithia Water reached me, and I decided to give this patient\\nno drink save the Lithia Water.

The\\nbladder at this time was discharging s//iall re?ial calculi, gravel and much sandy substance,\\nall of which, under the microscope, showed Uric Acid Crystals in quantity.

The locality has for\\nmany years been known as Salt Springs, but has been recently changed to Lithia Springs,\\nas, owing to the analysis made of the first known spring, it was found that the water was of\\nthe class known as saline-alkaline waters. About a year since, another small spring, about\\none hundred yards from the one so well known, was opened, as many who had tasted the\\nwater were convinced that it had mineral properties. It was not analyzed, however, as it\\nwas not believed to be of any particular commercial value, or to possess any curative\\nproperties. A small pavilion was erected over it, more as a resting place for visitors during\\nthe warm part of the day than for any other purpose, and an ordinary pump put in, to allow\\nany one that chose to drink of it. The water had a much more decided taste to it, however,\\nthan the one used commercially, and a number of visitors, who were accused of possessing\\na somewhat morbid taste, soon grew to like it, on the principle, we suppose, that one can\\ngrow to like even what at first seems destitute of any attribute to please or attract.\\nAmong the number were several who had come to the Springs for rest and quiet, and\\nthey soon discovered that they were inclined to become drowsy and sleepy, among them a\\nphysician from Atlanta. This peculiar effect, however, was ascribed to the climate,\\nlargely, and to the fact that there were no disturbing elements in the current of their daily\\nlives while rusticating in the vicinity of the Springs. In the case of the physician, however,\\nthe statement made by him was to the effect that at no place had he ever been enabled to\\nsecure such refreshing sleep and rest, and he called the attention of the proprietors to that\\nfact, but it was ascribed, as before stated, simply to climatic effects, and no further attention\\nwas paid to the matter, and no effort made to discover any latent virtue in the water.", "height": "3126", "width": "2063", "jp2-path": "americancarlsbad00bowd_0029.jp2"}, "30": {"fulltext": "26 BOWDEN LITHIA SPRINGS, GEORGIA.\\nDuring the past summer a number of guests at the Sweet Water Park Hotel, connected\\nwith the Springs plant, repeatedly urged upon the owners of the property, Messrs.\\nE. W. Marsh Co., to have the water from the spring analyzed, among them being\\nDr. R. F. Evans, ex-President of the Tennessee State Medical Society, residing at Shelby-\\nville, Tenn., who came seeking relief from a violent attack of Papular Eczema, and who-\\nfound great relief from using the water from these Springs, both externally and as a bath,\\nand who also brought a number of his patients to the Springs. But it was not until the-\\nlatter part of October last that any effort was made to determine its value analytically.\\nAbout the 24th October last, however, Mr. E. W. Marsh, of Atlanta, Ga. (of the great\\ndry goods house of Moore, Marsh Co.), who is the principal owner of the Hotel and\\nSprings property, sent over an order to the Manager of the Springs to send him a carboy of\\nthe water from the Spring in question, in order that it might be demonstrated finally\\nwhether there was anything in the water, or whether the visitors or guests were simply\\nlaboring under a delusion. The water was accordingly carefully gathered in a glass carboy,\\nsealed with the company s seal, and sent to Mr. Marsh by express.\\nHe at once communicated with Dr. N. A. Pratt, of Atlanta, one of the best known and\\nmost able analytical chemists in this country, stating that he desired a careful quantitative\\nanalysis made of the water, without giving him any information as to the whereabouts of\\nthe source of it. The most painstaking and careful analysis was then entered upon by\\nDr. Pratt, consuming eight days, and resulting in surprising him to such an extent that he\\nrepeated the analysis a second and third time, each subsequent analysis confirming the first.\\nCareful inquiry upon his part satisfied him that the water was genuine and pure and that no-\\ndevice or subterfuge had been resorted to, and he therefore forwarded the analysis to-\\nMr. Marsh for publication to the world.\\nWe are personally acquainted with Mr. Marsh, and have no hesitancy in declaring it as\\nour firm conviction that the water is all that it is said to be or claimed to be, namely, the\\nmost remarkable water known to the general public. The feature that so greatly surprised\\nDr. Pratt was the very large amount of Bromine 20^ grains to the gallon\u00e2\u0080\u0094 an unusuaL\\nand unprecedented amount, there being no known spring in the world containing so large\\na quantity. Indeed, we find by comparison that it contains 600 times the amount of Bromine\\nin any water now on the market, thus confirming its wonderful properties.\\nThis analysis has served to explain the peculiar effect of the water upon the visitors and\\nguests before mentioned that of a sedative Bromine being the great sleep producer and\\nnerve sedative, and of unequaled value as a remedy for skin troubles, as we have been\\nnformed by those familiar with its peculiar properties.\\nDid space permit \\\\\\\\e should publish the analysis, showing the many wonderful properties\\nof the water from this newly-analyzed Spring, and will probably do so at a future date,\\nbelieving that it is the province and office of a newspaper to furnish the public with all the\\nmformation that tends to benefit and attract attention to its section of country.\\nHere is located the magnificent Sweet W^ater Park Hotel, one of the finest houses and\\nmost complete in ail its appointments to be found in the South, with first-class accommoda-\\ntions for five hundred guests, with the lovely walks and grounds of the Piedmont Chautauqua,\\nbesides cottages and numerous boarding-houses\u00e2\u0080\u0094 the quiet and peace of a retired resort,\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0with every comfort and convenience to be found in the large cities, and only about fort)^\\nminutes ride to Atlanta.\\nTruly, Georgia is a great State, and Douglas County one of the best sections of it.

The Water was not drunk in any appreciable quantity for months\\nafter the Spring was opened, however, until claims were made by several physicians and\\nguests that their inability to sleep had been overcome by drinking it\u00c2\u00bband that several who\\nhad been induced to try it by their acquaintances for cases of Eruptive Diseases and\\nEczema had not only received substantial benefit, but had been absolutely cured by it.\\nSo marked had several of these cases become that, after persuasion by these physicians,\\nand guests, the Company was induced to have an Analysis made for the purpose of deter-\\nmining satisfactorily the properties of the Water, and the result marks an epoch in the\\nhistory of Natural Medicinal Mineral Waters.\\nOn the 25th of October, 1889, orders were received at the Springs from Mr. E. W.\\nMarsh, of Atlanta, Ga., the principal owner of the interests in the Springs Company, to\\ncarefully gather from the Spring a sufficient quantity of the Water with which to have\\nmade a quantitative analysis of it. Especial care was taken in securing a pure sample\\nof the Water, the Manager of the Company being requested to personally conduct its\\nshipping.

Recently an analysis has revealed the\\nfact that it is the only spring known to science which contains Bromide of Potassium\\nand Magnesia; this is combined with Lithium, Strontium and Iodide of Magnesium.\\nThe effect of this water is both a tonic and sedative, and in the army of nervous\\ncases it gives promise of being a remedy of wonderful power. Theoretically, a\\nnatural combination of the Bromides with Lithia and the Iodides would be a remedy\\nof great value in a large number of cases. Practically, it has more than fulfilled\\nthese expectations, and although this water has been very recently introduced, there\\nare many reasons for supposing that it will become the most widely used of any\\nmedicinal water known. Our personal experience in three cases of Alcoholic Rheu-\\nmatism and Neuralgias is very satisfactory, so far, and we hope to announce in the\\nnear future that at last a remedial water has been found which can be given to all\\nNervous Exhausted cases with great certainty as to the results.
