vrTHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, GREEN
w BRIER COUNTY, yIRGINIA.-The high
reputation which the waters Of these Springs nave ae
ouired in the prevention and cure Of Diseases and as
pleasant and Wholesome beverage, has long rendered
Il an object Of peculiar interest IN the pubic mind
The healing virtues which they possess have peen
known since the earliest period OF the settene' u
the country in which the spring Is situated ana ever
since 4 has been the fayorite resort Of all such inya-
lids as could avail themselves Of It's healt-restohg m
fuences. The reputation Of these waters has m
creased in the same rapid proportion with which they
have been known until they have attained point Oh
celebrity equal TO any of the nnneraspnngs OF ufoPe
and far exceeding that to which any other IN the v
States has attained u celebrity just as i Is extern
sve and which annually induces thousands OF eager
seekers after health from the most remote parts Of te
Union to pay their devotions TO tins heaith-giVhg
fountain.
Extensive experience for many years in the use OF
the White Sulphur Water, after having been long re-
moved from the spring, and kept in bottles and barrels,
has clearly and fully demonstrated that It may be
transported TO any distance and kept for any desired
length Of time, without the slightest deterioration OF
medical virtues and efficiency. Aware Of this fact
and anxious that the public might enjoy the use OF
this water without the necessity of visit TO the
Springs many physicians and others familiar with their
great efficacy have for years urged the owner OF the
Springs TO permit the water TO be transported through
the country for general In compliance with these
solicitations, company has been recently formed to
accomplish that object by bottling and barreling the
~
thus extending the valetudnaran who cannot reach
the springs the advantage of using its healing waters
at his own home, and by bringing within the reach OF
ALL this pleasant and heahgning beverage, that they
are rendering service that will be generally accepa-
BILE TO the public.
The undersigned propreors ofthis enterprise think
proper to inform the public that the exclusive right of
bottng and transporting these waters is secured to
them, and that those desiring the water may rely upon

II The diseases for which the White Sulphur
Water has been most celebrated and actively useful
the following: Dyspepsia, liver complaints bilious
state of the system chronic rheumatism, neuralgia
properly called, and nervous affections generally,
cosyeness, aundice, calculus chronic affections OF
the kidneys, chronic inflammation Of the bladder,
gleet, hemorrholds piles, hypochondrasls or low
spirits, dependent on arrangements of the stomach
and liver, spasmodic affections unattended with fever,
water brasil, sdarrhGa chronic dysentery general
debility, unattended with acute disease. In chlorosis
and other similar affections peculiar TO females, this
water has almost invariably displayed most happy and
triumphant results. In that enfeebled and peculiar
condition of the system resulting from the long pro-
tracted injudici0us Of mercury, and in the
secondary symptoms of reneredi disease often connect
ed with this peculiar state of the system, the he
Sulphur Water has displayed its very happest effects
In profuse salvation from mercury all reliance may be
placed upon it. In cutaneous diseases, obstinate
erupons the skin, perhaps no internal remedy can
be used advanageously. In il-condoned ulcers its
curative effects have long been known and appre-
caied.
For more particular account of the medical appli-
cabilty of this water, &c. reference made to the
Directory" lately published by DR.. Norman the
resident physician at the springs and which will ge-
Morally be found in the hands of the vendors of the
water
Ofthe many testimonials received from distinguished
medical men of the great efficacy Of these waters it is
thought unnecessary to insert more than the follow

gerry in the University of Pennsylvania

Springs, Greenbrer county, Virginia, aud remained
with the view of ascertaiing the effects of the water
upon the nvalids resorting to that region
from every part of the United States. can declare
with great confidence the result of large share of
experience that the most beneficial effects have arisen
from its in various dyspepc depravtes, in simple
and complicated disorders of the liver, in distractions
and other arrangements of the kidneys in aggravated
forms of cutaneous Diseases and in other morbid de-
velopments the result of constitutional or local causes
