1-1897 —Mineral water from a well near Midway, Ky., sent by  
Dr. B. F. Parrish, of that place, about January 1, 1906.    
It is thought to resemble Blue liick water, though hav-  
ing only a slight smell and taste of sulphur when fresh.  
It has been used quite extensively as a saline laxative  
’ with good results. The well is situated at the intersec—  
\ tion· of the Midway and Versailles turnpike with the  
  Old Frankfort turnpike. There is an abundant supply  
“ of the water. _'
