A comprehensive volume on groundwater science from a century ago, the 1920 bulletin provides a rich overview of statewide mineral waters and what is now a historic view of their medicinal uses. As medical science advances, many of the previously accepted medicinal uses for mineral-rich waters evolve or change completely. This is especially true of the ability of mineral waters to cure various diseases, such as syphilis, diabetes, or obesity. Although some of the technical geochemical terms are no longer used, what has not changed since publication is the fundamental geological and chemical science of mineral waters.
