“On December 10, 1849…”

Sims does not explicitly state that he was in attendance, but it’s very likely that he was, as he was Secreteary of the Medical Association at the time.

“…a sulfur spring in Butler County…”

An ad for a spring run by F.N. Sims, Sims’s brother, ran in an Alabama newspaper on July 2, 1850. Documents at the probate office of the Butler County Courthouse in Greenville, Alabama, hint at the complexity of the ownership of the Butler Springs, in which Sims appears to have had an interest from approximately 1849 to 1855 (which is roughly when he divested completely from Alabama).
