MINERAL WATERS.

Rouen has also its mineral waters, which, even in the neighbouring

towns, have a sort of reputation, I will point out three of the

principal sources, after _Lepecq de la Cloture_: The first, to the east,

is known under the name of _la Marequerie_, to which we arrive by the

rue Martainville; the second, to the south east, named _de Saint-Paul_;

the third is situated at _Deville_, in the neighbourhood of Rouen. The

learned doctor, on whose authority I speak, assures us that sick people

to whom he ordered the water of the last named spring, were cured by the

use of it. He also adds, that this spring might become very valuable to

the inhabitants of the western quarter of the town. Nevertheless, it has

never been much known, and even at the present day very few people are

acquainted with its existence.
