IN Virginia, on account of its salubrious medical
qualities. The water, to some palates, appears
somewhat hrackish, is strongly impregnsted
with Sulphur and variety of salts, which csn-
aes small quantity to operate asa cathartic.
carrying off bile and other offending matters
from the stomach and bowels, without occssi-
oning the smallest degree of pain OF uneasiness,
and at the same time operates powerfully as
diuretic.
And what 10 very remarkable, altho' it ope-
rates daily as cathartic, it debilitates the
system, but tends rather TO inyigorate ,Ae sys =,
TEN and elevate the spirts--It has always, when
used for that purpose, furnished relief in cases
OF obstinate disrrhs, and, TO doubt, would be ve-
~ efhcacious in removing the cause of cholca

restoration OF health, invited to call upon
