Abstract
THE mountainous and volcanic district, or, to speak more correctly, belt, which skirts the northern coast of Asia Minor, beginning from Amastri, one hundred and fifty miles east of the Bosphorus, up to the Georgian valley and the Russo-Caucasian frontier, abounds in mineral springs, varying as to temperature and constituents, but generally endowed with hygienic properties, which are, to a certain extent, known and appreciated by the natives of the land. But few of these springs have been made the subject of scientific examination and analysis; so that the ingredients whence they derive their value, where not discernible to the unassisted senses, are in most cases matter of conjecture rather than of demonstration.
