The report on the spring water has come in, and Lum reminds Abner why he had to do his own, independent study on it. BJ Webster has been secretive on his doings, which naturally makes him suspicious. Abner could whip a wild cat as he anticipates the report. Iron in the mineral content gets Abner confused. What do horse shoes in the spring have to do with anything?
How and why should anybody want or need to eat iron? Lum is lured into imagining eating iron, with a dash of salt and pepper. Does it make you feel heavy to drink iron in the water? Other chemicals make the rounds to add to Abner’s confusion. Potassium, magnesium, the worrisome sounding names suddenly make Abner feel weak in the knees.
Lum continues the list of chemicals, and its enough to give Abner the hives. Is there strawberries in the water too?How are the spots that Abner sees before his doing? Lum isn’t worried, until he comes on a chemical that bothers him.
