In reply to your Inquiries relative to my personal
experience of the medicinal virtues of the waters OF
Dlbrells Springs it gives pleasure to state, that
have invariably received decided benefit from their
in my own case, Dyspepsia connected with torpid
state of the liver; and both from experience and OBJ
servaion should feel great confidence in recommend
ing them in all similar aiectionslndeed in all those
cases denomnated bilious, but which IN fact arise
most generally from ndolen state of the liver, and
defective secretion of bile, and which are often united
with defective action of the whole Chy opptcs sce-
ra should feel the utmost confidence in recommend
ing them In many instances, after drinking this
water a few days have seen powerful influence on
the Bowels, the Kidneys and the Skin. In con
nexon however with the medicinal properties OF the
water and the purity Of your atmosphere, it would be
doing in Justice your table, not say that on It every
thing may be found which Physician would be dis
posed TO recommend to a valetudinarian."
The undersigned respectfully invites his old friends
and others to call and him, believing as he con-
scientousy does that there is no watering place IN
Virginia presenting greater inducements to those in
pursuit of health or pleasure.
