conversation, and diversions that require very little exercise, conduce to the success of

this kind of water, in the distempers I have mentioned. If such diseases are curable, you may expect a restoration of health.
But, in the dropsy, jaundice, diminished or irregular menses; in hyppo, melancholy, stuffings of the lungs, obstructions of the viscera, stoppages of the lacteals and misentery, glandular swellings, king's-evil, or any case, where thinning, relaxing, opening, deterging, attenuation or stimulation are wanting, such water is death.
Note; reader, there is another excellent petrifying-water at Newton-Dale in Yorkshire, N. R. thirteen miles from Scarborough. — Another near Castle-Howard, the fine seat of the Earl of Carlisle, ten miles from York.— Another, near Skipton, in that rough, romantic, wild and silent country, called Craven, in the West-riding of Yorkshire.—And one, called Bandwell, at Stonefield in Lincolnshire, west of Horncastle, which is 122 miles from London.

There is no manner of need

for Britons going to the mountain Gregoire in Basse-Auvergne.
A POSTILLA,(12)Containing an Account of Wardrew Sulphur-water,—the Life of Claudius Hobart,—and A Dissertation on Reason and Revelation.
In my account of sulphur-waters, I forgot to mention one very extraordinary spring of this kind, and therefore, make a postilla of it here, that the reader may find in one section all I have to say on mineral waters.— And as I found by the side of this water, a man as extraordinary as the spring, I shall add his life, to my account of the water, and a couple of little pieces written by him.

*In Northumberland, on the borders of Cumberland, there is a place called Wardrew, to the north-west of Thirlwall-castle, which stands on that part of the picts-wall, where it crosses the Tippel, and is known by the name of Murus Perforatus, (in Saxon, Thirlwall) on account of the gaps made in the wall at this place for the Scots
