III OPEN JUNE 1ST
This favorite Summer resort is now in complete
order for the reception of guests and it is the pur
pose OF the proprietors to keep it in better style
than ever before
The remarkable medicinal and curative power
OF the water is well known to the Virginia pub
lie. As an alteratiue, q difusibIe Stinaalant and
Tonic, there is no water like it. In all anemic
conditions of the system and broken down states
of the constitution, loss of appetite and general
nervous prostration, their powers and virtue as a
Restorative may be safely pronounced to be with
out known rival amongst the mineral waters of
the world. tats.t
They are ESPECIALLY INDICATED in the whole
class OF ailments peculiar to the Female constitu-
ton. "a $50. s..,,, .,,..,,....
The bottled water is delivered on the cars in
cases of dozen gallons, at $40; dozen quarts

The ''alum mass or salts of the water obtain
ed by evaporation and very carefully prepared is
put up in 81 and 81 walls and may be sent by ex-
press to any part of the country. Experience
has shown that these salts retain the Curative uir
tates Of the aoater and are far the cheapest and
most convenient method of procuring the water
Their sale has largely and steadily increased II
All orders for the water or the salts must be
accompanied by the money to receive attention

THE STRONGEST MAN--Governor Seymour
is not to be beaten by being called Copper
head, or Frank Blair to be distanced in the race
because he is a Revolutionist. Ridicule Sey-
mour as some Republican journals may, he is
the most popular man in the Democratic party.
The man who in 1864, with the record against
him that Seymour had, and with the odor of
the New York riots clinging to him and offend
ing the nostrils of every loyal man in the State,
seven hundred thousand votes, is candidate
not to be sneered at The man, we repeat who,
under the intense pressure of disloyalty brought
against him, could poll over three hundred and
sixty thousand votes, is more to be feared now
than he was in 1864. Eternal vigilance is neces-
sary to elect Grant York Commercial

In all ages of the world the skill and scien-
tiic attainments of man have been directed to
the study of the human system, and discovery
of the various ills to which it is heir. If, after
years of constant application some distinguished
physician had succeeded il. compromising an
agent by which the slightest ache may be over
come he has been hailed as benefactor OF his
race, and with great propriety the world have
gladly sung paans to his praise; This being pro-
per in the discovery of remedy for single dis
ease, how much more indebted are the whole hui
man family to the inventor Of BAKERS CEI4E-
DRAFTED PREMIUM BITTERS, a medicine
that has stood the test of years and proved pam
acea for Dyspepsia, Diarrh@a, Cholera Morbus,
Cramp Cholic, Giddiness, Nervous Debility, Loss
of Appetite and Sour Stomach, while the various
nostrums of quacks and empires have 1ourished
Tor an hour and then disappeared never again to
be revived.
Bakers Btters are now used in hundreds of
families in Virginia as their only medicine, and
that they are appreciated even by medical men
as tonic of great virtue, is abundantly attested
by hundreds of certificates in the hands of the
