    Establishment. The result of this discovery has been the erection of a suite of Baths, with an adjoining private Establishment for invalids, which are fully described in Chapter 5, and which may be fairly set down as not to be surpassed for convenience and comfort, possessing, as they do. Brine Springs unequalled in power by any known mineral water in this or any other country. I have thus endeavoured, in the short space of time at disposal, to give a brief sketch of the Droitwich Saline Springs, and I trust that what I have said will be accepted as no slight proof that they do unquestionably possess a superior power, and are undoubtedly capable of exerting a most surprising influence in the treatment of disease. That the public opinion will coincide with my own I admit that I am sanguine enough to anticipate. But be this as it may, I am satisfied of the fact, and if, by the gradual progress and development of these Springs, I am made an instrument of affording relief to the suffering and afflicted, I shall be amply rewarded, and feel that my labour has not been in vain. N.B.—I would here add, that an entire new commodious Hotel will be provided in the early part of next year, suitable for the higher and middle classes who may occasionally desire to take a course of these renovating Brine Baths.
