ral modifying influences of valleys, as stated upon page )6, areconfirmed by our local experience. The summer is somewhatcooler and damper, while the winter is slightly less dry andwarmer, being more sheltered, the only wind blowing with di-rect force being the west, which though it comes from themountains is usually warm. The hours of daylight are shorter. Tlie Springs all contain a moderate quantity of carbonateof soda and minor ingredients, and some also iron and Glau-bers salts. They are cold, and charged to saturation withcarbonic acid, which increases the activity of their propertiesand makes them extremely palatable. They are peculiarlyadapted for drinking and bathing in cases of anaemia, and inmost chronic stomach, liver, and kidney affections occurringin debilitated persons with whom the climate agrees. A de-tailed account of these waters will be found in my pamphleton Manitoi, published by the Gazette Publishing Company,Colorado Springs. Barker Hotel C W. BARKER, Proprietor.
