Extract

As is well known, there are in Switzerland a good many cold mineral, but very few powerful thermal springs, a fact which is in a great measure due to the scarcity of the younger series of eruptive rocks, such as give rise to the abundant hot springs of Bohemia, the Taunus and Eiffel districts, Auvergne, the Pyrenees, and other localities possessing similar geological features.
