r ED SULPHUR SPRINGS,-Tbese waters r
va situated 10 the county of Monroe, thirty EIGHT miles
from the White Sulphur and Sweet Springs, and sixteen
miles from the Salt Sulphur. Notwithstanding the rude
state OF Improvement which has existed here, the waters
have gained a celebrity, especially for the cure of con-
sumption, which no other water has ever vet attained. We
extract from the able work of DR.. Bell, ON Z" Baths and
Mineral waters a brief account of its powers, to the cor
rectness OF which many living witnesses can testify.
"Ihe Red Sulphur is peculiarly adapted to affections Of
the chest, or to speak more definitely, to pulmonary con-
sumption in all its stages. In the early stages of puImo.
nary disease esteem these waters as eff cacious-Ih had al
most said, as quinine in intermitents. Their effect on the
puse is very remarkable. l recollect distinctly a case in
which the lancet failed entirely TO keep the pulse down,
that was entirely under the controul of these waters. /
have (not once or twice, but oftenO seen the cough, hectic
lever, diarrnoa ana night sweats entirely subside under
the use OF them. The pulse 1 have known reduced from
one hundred and four TO eighty in twenty -four hours. while
the strength was evidently improved, and the digestive
organs enabled TO perform their functions with increas
yigour."
The water is sedative, Alternative, diuretic, and diapho-
reuc' dyspepsia chronic d%iarrhGa, dysentery, chronic
rheumatism ana govt, dropsy, gravel, liver affections, ute
Iine diseases, neuralgia, efysipelas, and other cutaneous az
iections, scroiula, worms. and several other chronic dis
eases, are usually under the control OF these waters.
