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

WHITE SULPHUR WATER, from
w the White sulphur Springs, Green
brier county, Virginia.-The reputation OF
the White Sui phur water is now general, and its
virtues in the of various diseases so well
known throughout this country, that II is deemed
unnecessary TO enter into general detail Of its pc
culiar properties of its special application to dis
ease but il is deemed proper TO state here, for tho
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 proprieors have been engaged for several years
in transporting the water to all parts OF the country
in barrels and half barrels, which have undergone
careful and thorough preparation, and that II has
been satisfactorily ascetained that the medical prop
critics Of the water reside mainly in its solid con-
tents; and as these not deposited or otherwise
lost by expectation, the transported water must re-
tain as much strength 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 abundanty
proved the truth Of this position. Various letters
substantiatng these facts in the possession Of
the proprietors copies Of some of which may be
found in the pamphlets containing general direc-
tons for the use of the water, which are furnished
to the vendors for grauous distribution among their
customers. .. - ..g.....
Such as may desire information in relation to this
water, the proprieors respectfully refer to tho fol-
lowing gentlemen: DR.. George Hayward, Hon.
Abbott Lawrence, and Hon. Thomas II. Perkins,
of Boston; Hon. John Reid, Massachusetts; Dr.
J. Kerney Rogers, New York; Dr. Gerhard, Phila-
delphia; Professor Potter, Baltimore; Professor
