A Wonderful Spring.
The Discovery Made by a Boy in North
Carolina.
Abingdon, Va , April 5.—A curious
spring has been discovered in Ashe
county, N. C. In July, 1885, a wood
cutter Avorking some distance from
his home told the lad who ac
companied him to search the neigh
borhood for a spring, as the water
carried from their home was too
warm to be refreshing. Following
the stream by the roadside, the boy
readied a point where the stream
made a sort of horseshoe curve as it
again came out by the roadside. This
spot was a tangled mass of briers and
overhanging shrubs, but the boy
penetrated the thicket and following
the curve, found near the edge of the
stream, but literally in its bed, a
spring. He cleaned out the dead
leaves, twigs, and other rubbish, and
put the spring in “running order.”
In so doing he had to thrust bis arm
almost to the elbow into the water.
This arm was in a swollen and inflam
ed condition from poison oak, and
had been so for some time. The
next morning it was noticed that as
much of the arm as had been in the
water was improved. The change
had been so sudden that its relief
was attributed to its having been so
long in the water on the preceding
day. The boy determined to try a
second application of his new remedy,
and on the next morning his arm Avas
well. The boy’s father then tried
the efficacy ot the water upon sores
which had annoyed him for many
weeks, and in a marvelously short
time was entirely relieved. He then
concluded to keep secret the locality
of the spring, alloAving no one to go
to it but himself, but always keeping !
a su Pply of Avater at his house. The
neighbors swarmed to his house to
try the magic water. Many Avere
herned of various maladies, and all
were eager to know where the spring
was situated. The old man kept his
secret, however, going under cover of
night to fetch the water. Finally he
was followed to his life-giving foun
tain. In less than 24 hours every
brier and bramble for many a yard
around bad been beaten down by the
feet of men and the hoofs of horses,
so great was the throng coming and
going. A “basket meeting” was
appointed by the Methodist circuit
rider, to be held at the spring on a
certain Sunday. It is estimated that
700 persons were present. The
preacher told of his wife's wonderful
i cure. In consequence of a kick from
a cow, one of her legs had been in a
I painful condition for four weeks.
Within fifteen minutes after the first
application of this water she began
to experience relief from pain, and
after twelve or fifteen hours’ treat
ment the pain was entirely gone.
This was one of many instances re
lated by the preacher to his eager
listeners. From that day people came
from far and near, driving sometimes
thirty or forty miles in a wagon and
waiting several days for a chanct to
fill their barrels. On Sundays from
300 to 4.00 persons were to be seen
on the spot. There is no house within
half a mile of the spring and no hotel
for several miles, so the neighbors,
much to their annoyance and incon
venience, are frequently obliged to
to take in the weary st.ffeiers seeking
these healing waters.
The average number of persons
visiting the spring daily until the bad
weather of the winter began is esti
mated at 200. During the winter
the water has been hauled at consid
erable expense to various places where
ready sale is found for it at $5 a case.
In fact the demand has been greater
than the supply, the distance from a
railroad making a trip considerable
of an undertaking.
Only a partial analysis of the water
has as yet been made. A New Orleans
chemist says its specific gravity is
1,000. and that it is largely charged
with carbonic acid. It contains iron,
the sulphates, chlorides and carbonates
of calcium and magnesia.
The country surrounding the spring
is extremely rough, but not without
the picturesque element which has
made all Western North Carolina
famous. New River runs within a
few hundred yards of the place and
the roar of its waterfall adds to the
weirdness of the scene.
During winter the blood gets thick and slug
gish, now is the time to purify it, to buildup
your s\ stem and fit yourself for hard work, by
using Dr. J. JI. McLean’s Strengthening Cor
dial and Blood Purifier.
