WHITE SULPHUR WATER, from
w the White sulphur Springs, Green

w the White sulphur Springs, Green
brier county, Vtrgtnia.-rhe reputation of
the White Sulphur water Is now 30 general, and It's
virtues in the of various diseases so well
known throughout this country, that it is deemed
unnecessary to enter into general detail OF its Pc
culiar properties, Of its special application dis
ease, but deemed proper to state here, for the
information Of those who as yet may have had no
opportunity of testing the virtues of the White Sui
phur water, when removed from the fountain, that
the proprIetors have been engaged for several years
in transporting the water to all parts OF the country
n barrels and half barrels, which have undergone
areful and thorough preparation, and that it has
een satisfactorily asceItaIned that the medical prop
critics of the water reside mainly in its solid con-
tents; and these not deposited otherwise
lost by expectation, the transported water must re-
tain as much strength az that used fresh from the
fountain. Numerous comparative trials made with
the water thus transported and the water fresh at
the spring, by intelligent and observant persons
from all parts of the Union, with view of ascer-
tanning its strength in either case, have abundanuy
proved the truth of this position. Various letters
subsantiating these facts in the possession Of
the propretors, copies Of some of which may be
found in the pamphlets containing general dlrec-
tons for the use of the water, which are furnished
to the vendors for grautous distribution among their
customers.
Such as may desire information in relation to this
water the proprietos respectfully refer the fol-
lowing gentlemen DR.. George Hayward, Hon.

JAMES L. BEwLEY. term, 1916.
object of this suit is TO procure decree for
Il sale of certain premises in Queen AIMS
county, conveyed by certain James Roe TO James
l.. Bewley, nonresident, in fee that your orators
may receive the difference between the sum paid
therefor by said James L. Bewley, and the amount
of such sale, in the event that said James L. Bew.
ley shall not pay unto your orators the of IF
teen hundred dollars with interest from the date of
the aforesaid conveyance.
The bill states That, some years ago, your
conveyed certain premises to a certain James Roe,
in fee, for the Of two thousand dollars, but that
said conveyance was intended to operate as a mort.
gage, for that said Roe passed his bond to Thomas
BeWley, binding himself to reconvey the pay
ment to said Roe of said two thousand dollars; and
further that said Roe gave bond to Ann, wife Of
Thomas Bewley, providing for her an annuity of
seventy-two dollars during her natural life, in case
said Ann should survive said Thomas Bewley
The bill further states that said Roe offered to your
orators the sum of fifteen hundred dollars for the
delivery Of the aforesaid bonds but that your ora
tors believing the said premises to be worth more
money, and being unwilling the title should pass
out of the family of your orators prevailed upon
James L. Bewley, the defendant to discharge the
debt due and owing to said Roe, who thereupon
conveyed said premises to said defendant in fee but
your orators that it was understood and agreed
between them and said defendant, that the defend
ant should have only the and interest therein
which said Roe had held and that, trusting to the
flal affections Of said defendant, did not require
such obligations from him as said Roe passed, and
now said defendant hath elected them from said
premises to the great injury of your orators, and
they without remedy, except by the interference
of this court; and that the said james l.. Bewley
resides out of the State Of Maryland.
