vrTHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, GREY
w BRiER COUNTY, VIRGINIA The high
,enuation which the waters Of these Springs nave ac
;,e n the prevention and of Diseases ana as
sssan nj and Wholesome beverage, has long rendered
I an object Of peculiar interest in the public MIND.
The healing virtues which they possess nav -
tnown since the earliest period of the settlement Of
the country in which the spring situated ana ever
;nee Il has been the favorite resort OF all such lhVa
lids as could avail themselves OF It's health-restonhg IN
auences The reputation Of these waters mas M
creased in the same rapid proportion with which they
have been known until they have attained point OF
celebrity equal to any Of the lsprngs OF EuroPe
and far exceeding that to which any other IN the "
States has attained: celebrity as Just as y Is ehten
sye and which annually induces thousands oil eager
seekers after health from the most remote parts OF the
Union to pay their devotions to this healthgiving
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 u may pc
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 TO the
Springs many physicians and others familiar with .he
great efficacy have for years, urged the owner OF the
Springs permit the water TO be transported through
the country for general use. In compliance with these
solicitations, a company has been recently formed TO
accomplish that object by botting and barrehng the
water for general transportation. And they hope, by
thus extending the valeudinarian who cannot reach
the springs the advantage of using It's healing waters
at his own home, and by bringing within the reach OF
ALL this pleasant and healthgying beverage that they
are rendering service that will be generally accepta

proper to inform the public that the exclusive right Of

n 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,
properly called and nervous affections generally,
costiveness jaundice calculus, chronic affections OF
the kidneys chronic inflammation of the bladder,
glcet, hemorrhoids or piles, hyPochondriasis or low
spirits, dependent on arrangements OF the stomach
and liver spasmodic affections unattended with fever
water brash sdiarrhGa chronic dysentery, general
debility unattended with acute disease. In choross
and other similar affections, peculiar to females tins
water has almost invariably displayed most happy and
triumphant results. In that enfcebled and peculiar
condition Of the system resulting from the long pro
tracted injudieious Of mercury, and in the
secondary symptoms Of renereai disease often connect
ed with this peculiar state of the system, the White
Sulphur Water has displayed its very happiest effects
In pTOfuBe salvation from mercury al IcliaLCc may W
placed upon it. In cutaneous diseases, or obstinate
crupons the skin, perhaps internal remedy can
be used advantageousy In lconditioned ulcers its
curative effects have long been known and apprc-
cated

cabilty of this water &c. reference is made to the
Directory" lately published by DR.. Norman, the
resident physician at the springs, and which will ge
morally be found in the hands Of the vendors Of the

Ofthe many testimonials received from distinguished
medical men Of the great efficacy of these waters is
thought unnecessary to insert than the follow

gerry in the University of Pennsylvania

Having visited repeatedly the White Sulphur
Springs, Greenbrer county, Virginia, aud remained
there several weeks at time, engaged in practice
with the view of ascertanng the effects of the water
upon the invalids resoring to that region
from every part of the United States can declare
with great confidence the result of large share of
experience that the most beneficial effects have arisen
from its use in various dyspeptic dcpravities in simple
and complicated disorders of the liver in distractions
and other arrangements of the kidneys in aggravated
forms of cutaneous diseases, and in other morbid de-
velopments the result Of constitutional or local causes.
