    All the Paisley well waters also contain carbonate of lime, which is easily ascertained, by scraping a little of the earthy incrustation, or furr, from the in¬ side of the kettles in which they have been boiled. It will be found to effervesce, when muriatic acid is poured on it. The furr is partly carbonate, and part¬ ly sulphate of lime. Cart water, as might be expect¬ ed, (see p. 9.) is very pure, especially when taken from the river before it enters the town, except in very wet weather. a> c/3 *o c <t> _rr* 2 S“> ju O r* n O c c 00 2«« n > _ pj E.
