Neris is on the high road from Moulins to Limoges, eighty leagues from Paris. There are four springs, the water of which is clear, inodorous, tasteless, and has an unctuous feel. It contains carbonic acid gas, carbonate of soda, and sulphate of soda, chloride of sodium, silex, and an animal matter to which its 'oleaginous' property is probably owing. The waters are generally used in the form of thermal baths.
