gy The diseases for which the White Sulphur
Water has been most celebrated and actively useful
are the following: Dyspepsia liver complaints, bilious
state of the system, chronic rheumatism neuralgia

costiyeness aundce, calculus, chronic affections of
the kidneys, chronic inflammation Of the bladder
gleet, hemorrhods or piles, hypochondriass low
spirits, dependent on arrangements of the stomach
and liver spasmodic affections unattended with fever
water brash rdiarrh9a 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 enfeebed and peculiar
condition OF the system resulting from the long pro-
tracted or injudiciops use of mercury, and in the
secondary symptoms of renereal disease often
ed with this peculiar state of the system, the White
Sulphur Water has displayed its very happest effects
In pIofuse salvation from mercury all reliance may be
placed upon it, In cutaneous diseases, or obstinate
eruptions on the skin, perhaps internal remedy

ciated.

cabty of this water, &c reference is made to the
