TAUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER
MT. Scion Va, July 9th 1866.

Editor Of the Spectator The hope OF bene-
fitting some one of the many sufferers fot rheu-
anatiSns, prompts me to- send you the facts,
herein communicated. A gentleman from the
village of Dayton, Rockingham Va, for some
days at my house, communicated them to me-
Mr.. Stephen Few, ofthat village, avery worthy
man, and as / know a great sufferer for many
years from this terrible disease, to an extent as
nearly to render him unable to walk, or pursue
his avocation of saddler, accidentally fell in
with an advertisement some days ago, in a news
paper. published in New Brunswick, Nova SEQ
tia. The name of the physician is not remem-
bered, but he proposed to cure the, disease by
the use Of the juice of lemon, tablespoonful
every hour Of the day, until benefit was derived
from it. = go
Among the testimonials was one of a gentle
man, a comptroller of New Brunswick, who
gave fattering statement OF the benefit he had
received. Mr.. Few had filth, sent off for the
fruit, took the prescription as directed, and on
to my informant, that but for some corns on his
feet, that made it painful to walk, he could
have walked to Harrisonburg and return, a
distance of eight miles, as soon and as comfor-
tably as he ever could One of his neighbors,
Mrs. Detamofe of the same village, had, at his
instance, been using the remedy, and, SO far,
with great benefit. The effect produced is
doubtless thro' the pores, as in a little while,
the perspiration is most profuse, even to pro
ducing great debility. Mr.. f. used little wa
ter and sugar. to remove the sharp acidity. II
no benefit results, no injury can be sustained,
Is a comfort to those making the experiment.
Mr. Editor sincerely hope it may prove a
balm to many a sufferer. and having communi-
Gated the facts privately to several persons af-
ficted, have concluded it is best to make them
public [ doubt not Mr. Few will take pleas
iure In adding any thing he deems important to
this, to make it serve the end designed

support of the high character which it sustains
throughout the length and breadth of Virginia.

In front of the Va. Central Rail Road Depot,
and at the head of Augusta Street. and within
two hundred yards of Maine it combines the
two-fold advantage, of being at once convenient
to the Depot and the chief thoroughfares of the
Town. 1t is fact worthy of observation that
during the summer months, when other por-
tons of the town of Staunton are consumed by
heat, or choked with dust this locality COM
mands cool aud refreshing breeze, and the
traveller returning from the Springs has often
been heard to express the regret that he should
have journeyed farther than the American"
in search Of recreation or health. t'i
= This Hotel has recently been reftted from
top to bottom with new and costly furniture;
the rooms are elegantly papered and carpeted,
and thoroughly ventilated, and contain every
contrIyable luxury calculated to invite a pleas
ant evening siesta or a sound. night Sleep
The servants; too, are under the most mastery
discipline, and are remarkable for their polite
attention at meals, and their deferential deport-
ment to guests on all occasions Connected
