HUNTADI JATIOK MINKRAL WATIR. The Best
Natural Aperient.—" I have made use of the Hulled'
:lithos Mineral Water over Kim* its intnsluction mto
this country. and with ever-increasing satisfaction. I
look upon the introduction of this water its compared
with other similar waters as an advance almost ae
great as the uee of these was an improvement on the
employment of Glauber or Eptom salts in their simple
form. A very small quantity of the Hunyadi JAmie
Water suffices to secure an efficient action. This is
beet taken in the morning, fasting, and shortly
followed by • cup of tea or coffee swallowed quite hot.
Neither sickness or griping follows. Its use in this
way will be found highly beneficial by Trimly who,
though they may be described as being in good -health,
yet from a sedentary occupation or other cause, are
liabl. from time to time to what are called bilious
sttacks."--(Signed) Alexander Silver, ALA.. MM.,
