seekers of health. The recent publication in pam

ties of this water in many diseases--dyspepsia,

and ne is of opinion that the extraordinary medi-
cinal advantages of the Springs have been obscured
in the greater allurements to fashionable life.
The railroad from Alexandra is rapidly APP
preaching these Springs, and will soon make the
trip delightful one from that city and all north of
it. In the mean time, the stages run tri-weekly
from Washington, and will be daily after lst July.
