reputation which the waters Of these Springs nave ae
quired in the prevention and cure OF Diseases anu

The healing virtues which they possess have peen
known since the earliest period Of the settlement o.
the country in which the spring situated hno csei
since it has been the favorte resort OF all suen insa
lids could avail themselves Of its IN
fuences. The reputation Of these waters has IN
creased in the same rapid proportion with which they
have been known until they have attained point o.
celebrity equal any Of the mineral springs OF Europe
and far exceeding that TO which any other in the "
States has attained celebrity as just as Il Is extern

seekers after health from the remote parts Of the

Extensive experience for many years in the use Of

moved from the spring, and kept in bottles and barrels

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 10 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, a company has been recently formed TO
accomplish that object by bottling and baneling the
water for general transportation. And they hope, by
thus extending TO the valetunaran who cannot reach
the springs, the OF ntallng Wdttfb

all this pleasant and heahgving beverage, that they
are rendering service that will be generally accepa
