WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS GRE t;


w BRIER COUNTY, yIRGINIA.--The high
reputation which the of these Springs have ac-
qured in the prevention and cure OF diseases ana as
pleasant and wholesome beverage, has long rendered
an object OF peculiar interest in the public mind
The healing virtues which they possess have been
known since the earliest period of the settlement OF
the country in which the spring Is situated and ever
since il has been the fayonte resort Of all such inva
lids as could avail themselves OF s restoring m
auenees. The reputation Of these waters has in
creased in the rapid proportion with which they
have been known until they have attained a point OF
celebrity equal to any Of the nnneralsprngs Of Europe
and far exceeding that to which any other IN the y
States has attained celebrity Just as II Is extern
sye and which annually induces thousands of eager
seekers after health from the remote parts OF the
Union TO pay their devotions to this heath-giying
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 II may be
transported any distance and kept for any desired
length of time, without the slightest deterioration oil
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 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 barreing the
water for general transportation. And they hope by
thus extending to the yaeudinaran who cannot reach
the springs the advantage OF using ITS healing waters
al his home, and by bringing within the reach OF
all this pleasant and heathgving beverage that they
are rendering service that will be generally accepta
Bile to the public.
The undersigned proprieors ofthis enterprise think
proper to inform the public that the exclusive night OF
bottng and transporting these waters Is secured 10
them and that those desiring the water may rely upon
receiving it from them and their appointed agents IN
its purity and efficiency
