ouired in the prevention and OF diseases and as
pleasant and wholesome beverage has long rendered

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 of

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
