THE EXPERIENCE OF A GENTLEMAN AT
TILE SANITARY FEATURES OF -THE SPRING
PREPARATIONS FOR GREATER HOTEL AC•
CO3I.IIODATIONS-•••REMARKABLE CURES
IN lyitAT RESPECTS THE WATER IS SUPE•
It TOIL
One of the editors of the Lancaster
Express, who has been spending some
time'at Minnequa, writes to his jour
nal as follows :
My' attention was first seriously
called to the sanitary' aspect of
nequa Springs by a letter by an in,
telligent ! and estimable lady of Lan
caster, and republished in' the E.e
pres.4 about a month ago. I was par
ticularly arrested by the statement
in her private note requesting thele
publication, that she had gone there
upon the recommendation' of my old
friend and former neighbor, Dr. -Ag 7
new, of Philadelphia, whom I know
'to l.)e' one of the most conscientious
n p - s Well as most Skillful of physicians
and surgeons in this country, and
:who is sternly opposed to anything
avorinn• of empiracy or cure-all ~
spe
cialities. Feeling the need of rest
and in the desire of securing a relief
from 'a chronic affection of the kid
neys of ten year's Standing I deter
mined to see for myself ;hat virtue
there was in Minnequa. I have in
letters• written front the spot given
my impressions of 3linnequa as a
delightful summer resort. I- nowpro
pose to say something of its sanitary
claims upon those who are Seeking
health through recreation. Il t ut,:flist - ,
should say that the succes4 of Min. l
nequathis season has demonstrated
the necessity of greater hotel accom
limitation's for next season,
.the su
perintendent, Mr. Tyler, having been:
unable to accommodate many fami
lies Who applied for rooms this sea
son. On the day- before I left, the
enteprisina proprietor had an archi
tect upon
ente r prising
ground, who made
a pencil sketch of improvements and
enlargements which Mr. Herdic will
commence as soon as the guests are
out of the honse. 'These will add
greatly to the attractions and con
veniences of the buildings, besides
doubling their.. capacity, providing
comfortable accommodations for at,
least six hundred guests. Not Bath s fled with this, he contemplates the
erection of a 'not hotel on, the beau
tiful summit across the railroad,
which will be Connected with the
spring hotel by terraced walks and
an elevated passage, with.railway car
for invalids, which will make Minne
qua the most complete and attractive
Summer resort in the country.
The word Minneqtui, .in Indian
parlance, means healing wafers. Tra
dition says the medical properties of
the spring were well `;';,!,known to the
_aborigines, who evidently had a vil
lage on the opposite hill, Where lii
than relics were ploughed up in
abundance ;, and when the excava
tions were made for walling up the
spring these reminiscences of the red
man were found at the depth of four
teen feet. Old residents of the neigh
borhood informed me that they re-
membered when the spring was in a
swamp. Indeed, much of the ground
_surrounding the hotel was swamp
When Mr. Herdic began his improve-
Ments. The spring is located within
a hundred yarda of the Northern
Central - .division of the - Pennsylvania
littilroad, about forty-tWo miles north
of. Williaffisport, one hundred : and
, seienty-two miles from Lancaster,
and thirty-six miles south of -Elmira,
New York. The paisenger steps
from the cars almost directly into
the large pavilion„ in front of the
main btrildinc , l . of the hotel, in the
skirt of 'a large and dense stretch of
primeval forest, through which near
ly two Miles of substantial' board
walks have been constructed, consti
tuting a delightftil promenade for
ladies and . a healthy race-course for
children; let loose from the restraints
of city life. A copious draught from
the spring and the tour of these
walks.before breakfast are an excel
lent appetizer for the morning peal,
,can testify from experience.
The spring is enclosed with an octag
onal pavilion, cool and airy by. day ;
and brilliantly lighted with gas re-.
fleeted - from a '"diamond reflector"
by night. Around the spring is a
banister,' nside of which the spring
is reached by steps, where Charles
Eppley stands all day long: serving
the water to gueats. He was, incapa
citated from labor by .acute rheumi
tism,,and is compensated for his ur
bane attention to • the guests by vol
nntary contributions. The position
is a pretty severe test upon a man's .
patience, and, several persons were

It comes up ;With sufficient force; to

not reveal its most valuable proper

the water upon his system was such
as to convince him that there wre

The active iniredlents are the Boracic Acid rind

of unusual occurrence. One of them, Manganese', Is

In each of them. Respectfully yours,

Dr. Cresson also refers to the wall
known fact thakmany remedial agents
act-most .favorably when largely di
luted. The springs at Vichy, for in
stance, contain one grain of 'arse n ie
in seventeen gallons of the wanir,
and are wonderfully efficient lli rasps
requiring the use of that metal. Na
ture sometimes Unites the inorganic
constituents of -;sprin g
waters in] a
peculiar manner, so that artificial
mineral waters 4initaining the same
elements fail to produce the parti4i
lar results derived i from the water
from springs. FriMrichshalf is i a
well known example of such a water
with a peculiar constitution. In aili
dition to the benefits derived froth
drinking medicated waters, the effects
of change of air, diet, habits, refit,
etc., consequent. upon a. visit to the
springs, aid materially in the curie,
especially: of chronic diseases. TheF
elevation; above tide Water insures
freedom, from the local detractions Of
our fashionable wateringplaces. Ile
rolling country is conducive to he4l4
thy eereise4 the surroundings are
pleasing* to. t eye, and the invalid
can enjoy the benefits of light add
air in the grov6 without much ex
penditure of muscular energy.
On arriving at Minnequa I weigh4d
six pounds less than my normal sum
mer weight. The second day brought
a keen appetite relishing ordinary
articles of food hot tasted at home
for months, and enjoying sound, re
freshing sleep. 'ln twenty-four hours
a specific aetionlof the water on the
liver and kidneys was apparent. In
less than three days all sensation Of
pain, never before absent when lying
on the back, had disappeared, and
the gain in weight in one week aver
aged Over one pound per day. Vl*
Waking in the morning, which was
generaVy an hour earlier than usual,
there Was no 'sense of drowsiness dr
l'aricruor, or desire. to turn over and
4 take another nap." This, to me,
was a delightful as well as a novel
sensation, which I had not expeii
enced
.during a 'week's sojourn tit
Saratoga, nerat the sea-shore resorts.
I attributed it to the joint influence
of the pure and rarified mountain air
and the 'sanitary properties of tlie
spring water:: A large, tumbler of
the Wateii a 'mile walk through the
woods 'oil Ithe pleasarit board walk,
formed ad excellent relish for break
fast. Corn bread, for which I am
not generally partial,' seemed a luxti
ry at Itlinnequa. 'What Would a mah
of sedentary habits give for such an
appetite the year around ? 4-There iii
'millions in it."
'
In my ease I found by experienc i e
r
that one large tumbler of the wane" . .
half an hour before each meal, '
one and sometimes two before retic
ing, kept the ' secretary : organs! in
healthy action. An 'excess of thiii
one day ' induced cathartic action,
though I am told it has not generally
this effect. In the case of a lads
'who was brought here in a very weak
condition, appetite entirely gong,
and her ' case regarded as almost
hopeless. it was with. the greatest
difficulty that the water could be re:
tained on the stomach. She
,persd
vered, and finally retained a spoonfid
—then a little more, and finally begaU
to drink it with impunity. In two
days thereafter she occupied a seat
at, the . table,-. with' a keen appetitd.
One case of a - young lady taken frodi
this county, so wealt that she had tb
,be assisted kiwi- the cars to her bed,
aid long regarded as a hopelessixi
valid, is.looked upon by herself no
friends as almost. miraculous. She
was' there a week before I 'arrived,
and . I saw her daily at the dinner ta
ble. The morning I left she had take4l.
a mile walk and did not suffer from:
fatigue. One gentleman cattle here
suffering from rheumatism to such
an extent that he could . searcelY
"move one foot before another." I

dyspepsia, follow4l with diarrhcca,
and 'frequent colios. A well-known
merchant of Philadelphia, who saw
Mr. Hanson, on hisl arrival and at his
departure, said to me it was 'an aston-.
ishing ease ; and ypt I could relate - a
dozen c e ases' equally remarkable,
which I had from jtheir own lips or
from friends confversant with the
facts. .Mr. Herdic is therefore entirely
safe in publishingito the world that
he " wilt pad the necessary expenses
or all persons who; having failed to
get relict' elsewhere, will come to
Minnequa Springs,iuse the water as
directed for a reasonable time, -and
are not henefitted."
Prot Kennedy,l.of Washington,
who with, his estiniable family, has
. spent five summers ; at Minnequa, re
lated an interesting incident connect
ed with his accidental introduction
WO° place, which reveals the bright
sid6 in the proprietor's character.
Worn or with mental labor, h e .
sought re toration each season at the
seashore pr at Saratoga On his - way
to Saratoga, five summer's ago, Mrs.
Kennedy's sympathies were enlisted
in behalf of a pooh Woman whom she
found in distress at the Baltimore
depot. Her son, who lived in New
York State, had written' that if • she
would come to hint he would give
her a hotne. She reached Baltimore
with her means exhausted. Mrs. K.
took her in charge,anirchasing her a
ticket to 1 Harrisburg. There a be
nevolent gentleman from Williams
port, Mahlon Fisher, (since dead)
noticed the old lady and inquired of
Mrs. K. Concerning her protege. He
handed her $5 towards her relief.
Just then a brusqUe looking gentle
man entered the car,',whom the other
addressed as Mr. Herdic, f saying,
"here is a case for you." Itwas . then
apparent that the old lady - was too
weak to cOntinne - her journey without
rest, but Mr. Herdic told her to give
herself •ni3 uneasiness,, as he would
take care of her. On the arrival of
the train at the Herdic House, Will
iamsport,lhe again - took the old lady
by the arts, directed that she be giv
en the best the lioase afforded, and
next day sent her On her way rejoic
ing. This incident led to further ac
quaint.i nee, and Mr.llle - rdic prevailed

their tickets for Saratoga, resumed
their journey in a I day or two ; but
they were sO well pleased with Min

spent every summer there since.
'When Mrs. •Kennedy expressed to
Mr. Herdic her gratification for the
kindness shown the old lady, he re
plied that he did only his dtity, that
he never saw an old lady in distress

—Bat I haVe made a long digres

,few fact concerning the sanitary
features Of what ' . - 1 believ e is destined
to be the:Most popular summer resort
;for health and recreation in the couti
;try, and Of which, very little has been
known beyond a comparatively limit
ed circle of visitors; which has, how
ever, been steadily increasing year
by year. The :only regret, I have to
express is that' the exigencies of the
editorial ]tread-mill) did not allow me
to spend a month there instead of a

THE FALL TRADE.
The WON says i " The, fall trade
with the Ifir West and the far South
has already opened favorably, and
every leek that passes will probably
bring in huyerif froM sections nearer
the , city.; Those Who live furthest
from Noir York mist, of course, be
the first to purchase in order to get
their goci,ds 'home ; and assorted in
time forl the regidar trade. The
abundant, grain crops and the good
prices for grain ought to make the
West a liberal purchaser this year.
The South has certainly not for ten
years been in better plight than it is
this year, though i the net amount
which planters and farmers there will
be able to invest in commodities re
mains to be determined by the price
they get for their, abundant, cotton
crop. ' Ten cents a pound in the Mis
sissippi Valley , and twelve', cents in
most other portions of the Cotton
belts is the estimated cost of produc
ing and Marketing cotton. ' The
ex
cess aboie that sum is allowed for
profit. judging fom Texas, which
is already purchasing fall dry goods,
the South should !this season be a
good, if not a liberal customer of
New York."

The boy remarked that he did, and
Bijah placed it on the window sill,

and -continued:
"That it of paper is marked "25

"I dunno," soleinnly replied the

NASBY ON INFIiATION.
CONFEDRIT X 40APiq which is in
the State uv -Irentucky, August 27,
1875.—Ef life ever wtiz a rose-tinted
drearnlo me at any time dooring my
mortlo Pfigrimage,lthis is,the precise
time.' .I am thoroly happy..so hap
py-, indeed, that the pirvashens and
troubles that I hey bin thro are fadin
out uv my memory , entirely. I her
paid Bascom's account which hez bin
running for so many yearsond hev
his receet'in safe—is'y safe I say.
Proudly I write these words. MY
safe. • Who, thirty days ago, Wood
hey supposed that I should ever say
DIY . safe ! Then I; hev two soots nv
close—good onesJ 7 whieli is one and
a half more than!' hey bed sense I
was Postmaster 'wider Johnson—
Heven rest his sole. I hey two shirts
for the first time in my life, and I
am wearing stockings ! I hey but
one pare ez yet, but no one can rise
to the summut it' hooman gnandjer
at wain bound. I steel buy another
pare in a week or two. I think every
Lank president ought to either hey
two pare uv stockings or return to
the stern ,virchool nv -the Republic
in its better days, and go barefoot.
Going barefoot ori heving a change
is necessary to the keeping nv a bank
presidents office hi a sweet smelling
condition.
• But this is a, digreshen. &lice to
say, lam clothed. I Bade three doll•
ars and a half a pare for them stock:'
ings—they is cotton—which is 'three
dollars and a quarfpr more than they
wuz worth in the old money ; but wat
difference does it,Make ? That three
dollars and a half wuz made by four
pulls on • Simpson I s printing ..press;
and when moneyckin be made in that
way wat differenceldoes it make. wot
I pay for cotton so.K ?
At the beginninm we ishood 10,20,
22, and 50, cent currency, but we her
quit that: Prices her gone up
under the general prosperity, that
there aint anything in the Corners
that sells for less than a dollar per
one, and the fracksinel currency wuz
desided to be yoospless. Besides it
cost jest as much tq print a ten cent
note ez it does a do_ lar, and we bleeve
in econotnizin.
Simpson, the printer, is makin us a
Ric trouble. At the - beginnin I
I f
yobsed to pay him or,Trinting our
bills by jest sign in enuff uv em ez
they. come from the press to make
his amount, but latly he hez refooz
ed to take our money and insists en
greenbax. We tried to overawe him,
but when he threatened to publish
the finaushel condis mn uv the presi
dent and direcktors it was consider
ed advisable to humor him. It is
singler that rich men 'throw impedi
ments in the way of - progress.
The obstacles in the :way uv the
bank that hey thus far developed
themselves, hey beet happily and easi
ly. removed. Bascom demanded
wheat uv us to ship! to LooisN'ill' to
git more whiskey, and we lied to let
him hey it,and takepay in our green
bax, and that bein the standard in
Looisville, we met a heavy loss. The
account stanZis as follows..
,000 bushels ur wheat cost us, In our
own money, at WO per bushel
ohl it to Bascom at Loots green
back prices. Which is ( 1, 1 er IMAM,
taken pay in the same money wo
paid for It
osi; (which lv liggered)
We had one more trouble, which
we' got on easier with. Pugsby, the
shoemaker, who took our 'money,
run out uv leather, and when he sent
to Looisville for more, the merchants
there, ez in the case ur Bascom, re
fotiSed to take our currency. Pugsby
knowd uv Bascom's experience and
he came up sniillin to hey us sell
him! wheat enuff at greenback prices
to rvnoo his stock.
"Wat kin we do?" I demanded, in
dire distress. for really I didn't see
why Pugsby shoodent hey wheat to
vent* his stock ez well as ez Bascom,
ceptin that whisky is more necessary
to the Cornors than leather,
'tDo?" sed Issaker Gavitt, with a
expreshu uv skorn on his classick
feechers. "Dq!" And yoo claim to be
finanseers? llez Pugsbya safe? No?
Well, whey does he keep the $12,000
uv our money? In his desk. Yes?
And that is•wooden: And his bildin
is wood, Very good. Tell Pugsby
to come tomorrer and we will give
him wheat at a dollar a bushel for all
UV our money he has got. We hey
twenty-four, hours, and banks ez well
as nashens, kin be saved in twenty , ,,
four hours."
And Issaker put some matches in
his : vest pocket—about $3 worth.
Matches hez gone up to $4 50 a box
our money.
That nite Pugsby's shop burnt Up,
and the fire commenced jist under
his desk. The next mornin that un
forehnit mail came to us and insisted
on hevin the wheat on the score uv
the money he had uv ours.
"Bring us the money,'* said Issak
er, beamin sweetly unto him, . "and
we'll give all this wheat you want,"
"But yoo kno that I hod yooi
money, and that was burnt up last
Hite." '
"I pOrsciom yoo hed some uv our
monc;but I dont kno it," replied
Issaker:. "No well regulated bank
kin live
.if they shood take every
man's word, ez yoo want us to. How
kin I tell'hut wat yoo hey that,' mon
ey conceded-, and that the burnin uv
yoor shop was a skeem" to defraud
yoor creditors? lam not shoor that
it isn't my Booty to investigate the
matter."
- And Issaker looked so stern that
Prigsbyleft the bank with a hoive uv
terror. . .
Issaker is developin subeat a ge
nius in fivanseerin that I'm relly jeal
ous nv him. He is the master-sperit
uv the institooshun.
At the Board ineetitrlast nite we
discust wat we shood do in skit eases
ez Pugsby's hereafter, but arrived at
no definite conelooshun. There is
sevral fly em, and they will hey to be
met. Issaker bleeves in the style uv
treatmunt • he yoosed in' Pug,sby's
case, but I can't consent to it. It's
heroic I admit, and good enuff for a
temprary expedient, but it won't do
for a reglar system, If our money
stimoolates a mantes bizniz to the pint

"Few points'are more interesting and

ccinfains . Story of 'the • Buddhist
Teacher when. he was Chief Council
lor of King I;:edeha of:314111u, which
is!wonderAlly like the 'Hebrew tale
wider a_Cingalhe3e garb. A woman,
it Is related, came, with her infant
boy to a pootin order to bathe, and,
leaving him on the bank,,went down'
into the water. As soon as she had
(Rine so a wicked woman, seeing the
child and wishing to have, it, came up
and said, 'Friend, is this.pretty baby
yours? 'May I nurse it?' The Moth
eri, replied, 'Why not?' upon which
the evil-hearted • woman, .taking the
infant and nursing-him a little while
ran off with 4im. The mother pursu
ed, screaming for her son and expos:
tulating, while the false woman
cried, 'When didst . thou own a child?
Ibis mine!' Whilst the quarrel went
on they came , near Buddha's hall,
hearing the disturbance, asked what
was the matter! Being acquainted
with the' ,
quarrel, he said, Will you
abide by.My judgment?'. To which
theY assentel He then had a line
drawn , on the ground, and the child
laid upon it; and, telling the false
mother to .seize. its arms and the •reat.
mother its legs,
said, 'He shall be ad
judged son • of her who pulls him
across the mark,' fhe wicked wo
man was rejoiced at this,. for. her
strength was greater, and she prepar
ed.to pull furiously: but the mother,
seeing if she held the babe at all he
hinst suffer great_pain, fell weeping,
and said, ‘No ! let ! her take the

'Whose hearts are: tender to the

They replied, '0 Pandit ! mothers'
hearts are tender!' Then he said, •
'Which think you, is the mother?—
she . who has the child now or she who.
let: it b

'she who let itgo is the mother!' The
Teacher then restored; the child to
hig. 'mother and 'sent -her rejoicing
away! Here is evidently'-the same
ancient story, full of a wisdom as'old
and: natural as nuSthers love itself;
and none need regret if some doubt
is cast by it Upon Klcr SOIOMoII'S
judicial -originality, ;when we see •
that his sagacity at feaSt was found
ed .Upon what was already a world-
Wide 'experienee of the unselfishness.
of maternal affection."
DIGNITY OF TRUE OKRETAINI3.
One of the best evidences of genu
ine conversion is Christain obedience.
The Psalinist! says : 4 ‘ Oh, - that my
ways were directed to keep Thy stat
ues " The first inquiry of Paul
his.eonversion was, " 14ord, what Wilt
thou have me to do:? " and years
afterward we hear him saying, "I
delight in the law .of the Lord after
the inner man,"
Such obedience Christ owns and
appreciates. He even . puta a higher
estimate on such obedient ones than
on his "kindred,according so: to
flesh"; " for we are told (Matt. viii.
11.2 7 21) that on a certain
.occasion,
when encoinpassed by a crowd of
persons, he was hiforMed his mother
and brethren Were present_ and desir
ed to ;speak With -him, he replied
"My motlier,ll(l)::wettiren are those
which hear the word of God and do
it." We cannot don& that Christ
cherished ardent:, affection for her
who bore him, for ivliile hangin g in
agony on the; cross I}e commended
her with his expiring ;breath to the
care of his beloyeddecipre John ; nor .
Jhave we any reason for supposing he
.had not a suitable regard for all his
relations, and 'yet acknowledging and
affirming - he had higher affinities and
relationships than thoSe of an earthly
nature, we find the relation which
"thoSe who obeyed him sustained to
hint, : were even closer and nobler than
that of brethren or mother. We may
accordingly learn there is union to
• Christ in spiril,""Whielt is more inti
mate and sacred than j union to him
in the flesh; that there is a dignity
in faith and service surpassing even
that of alliniey and consanguinity,
andthat we jean attain this exalted
dig,nity -by being l / 4 1oe ' rs of the word,"
doing the will 'of Christ in sincerity
and truth.
