Lexington, June "a, 1889.
do hereby certify that about the lsf
JaOuary, 1893, my little bov, then a.
bout four months old, had an eruption OH
his head and face. which is generally
called MILK RASH; it was very uoub-
lesome and continued to grow worse,
spreading over the upper par, of his face
used the prescriptions of one or two
practising Ply sicians for several months,
without any visible relief. About the
Isl OF May, | commenced the use of the
Alum Spring water, chiefly by outward
applications, when the disease immedi-
"tcly began to give way, in very shcrt
time was entirely cured, without any in
conveniences following after, and the
boy has continued well ever since.

ROCKBRRDGE ALUM
SPRINGS.

The Proprietors of the Aluga Springs,
grateful for the encouragement which
they have received in former years, not
outstanding the unfinished state OF
their improvements, inform the public
that their improvements are now so fac
completed TIA; they are prepared to af-
'crd comfortable accommodations TO from
one hundred 10 one hundred and twenty
noarters. The Alum Springs are in
fockbridge County. Virginia, OH the
road from Lexington to the Warm
Spfings. seventeen miles from the forms
er and twenty miles from the latter
place. There is a good turnpike road
across the mountain. Good hacks eau
be procured in Lexington on moderate
terms, to convey stage passengers to and
from these springs.
These waters. for the time they have
been IN use, have been more celebrated
than any mineral waters in Virginia, for
the cure OF dyspepsia. chronic diseases
OF the stomach and liver. chronic dis
eases in general, and all kinds of cuta-
neous diseases, They are said 10 be pes
culiaily efficacious III the cure of female
complaints.
Several inveterate cases of scrofula
have been entirely cured by the use OF
these waters. and we believe that none
kave used them for any length of time
without deriving great benefit in this
hitherto almost incurable disease
tihcatcs to this effect would have been
published in connection with this state.
ment, had we not understood that Dr.
Good, Of the Hot Springs. was preparing
for publication his opinion of the effects
OF these waters in the cure of this disease,
and had made application to Mrs Dick.
