reputation which the waters Of these Spnngs nave ao
quired in the prevention and cure OF diseasen anu -
pleasant and wholesome beverage, has long rendered
Il an object Of peculiar interest ia the pupic
The healing virtues which they possess have peen
known since the earliest period OF the se,enshl "
the country in which the spring Is situated, anu
since it has been the iavorte resort oil all suen insa
lids as could avail themselves Of its healthrestorng IN
huences. The reputation of these waters mas IN
creased in the same rapid proportion WIN wh0h 'y
have been known until they have attained point VI
celebrity equal 10 any of the mineral springs oil Eufope
and Gar exceeding that to which any other in the u
States has attained celebrity just as II Is exteh-

Extensive experience for many years in the use OF

moved from the spring, and kept in bottles and barrels

length Of time, without the slightest deterioration OF
medical virtues and efficiency. Aware OF tins iac'
and anxious that the public might enjoy the use OF
this water, without the necessity OF VISIT 10 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

xr 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,
costvencss jaundce calculus, chronic affections oil
the kidneys, chronic inflammation of the bladder,
gleet, hemorrhods or piles, hypochondriasis or low
spirits dependent on arrangements OF the stomach
and liver spasnodc affections unattended with fever,
water brash sdiarrhea chronic dyscntery, general
debility unattended with acute disease In choross
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 injudicious Of mercury, and IN the
secondary symptoms of pcnereal disease often connect
ed with this peculiar state of the system the w he
Sulphur Water has displayed its very happiest effects
In profuse salvation from mercury all reliance may pc
placed upon it. In cutaneous Diseases or obstinate
eru,tons on the skim perhaps internal remedy can
be used so adyantageously. In condoned ulcers ITS
curative effects have long been known and appre-
ciatcd
For particular account of the medical appli-
cability of this water sc. reference is made to the
g Directory lately published by DIR. Moorman, the
resident physician at the springs and which will ge-
morally be found in the hands of the vendors of the
water

medical men of the great efficacy of these waters it is
thought unnecessary TO insert than the follow
