a village of Scotland, in the shire of Annandale, 36 miles south-west of Edinburgh; famous for its sulphureous waters; one of the springs being used for bathing, the other for drinking. These waters are of great service in gripings of the guts, colics, and pains in the stomach. Those who are troubled with obstructions, rheumatic pains, and aches, find great relief both from bathing and drinking. The water is also of great use in scrofulous and scrophulous cases.
