Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06
The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.
Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
_Dear Sirs_,--"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its _properties_ are _characteristic_, and as _clinically trustworthy_ as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."
