u Important letter from DR.. @. r. Harris, of
Staunton, Va, one of the most eminent and dis
tinguished members of the medical profession in
the State, giving his opinion, formed from his
own observation Of the medicinal properties and
effects of this water, in diseases of the Stomach,
Liver, Skin and Kidneys!
COLD SULPHUR SPRINGS,
aaat Ala Rockbridge County, Va.
l 5.4 tt August 18th, 1868.
At the request of Mr.. Samuel Goode, the pro-
prietor of this valuable watering place, who So
licts my opinion of the value of the Cold Sui
phur, or, more appropriately speaking, the CAR
DONATED FERRUGINoUs SULPHUR SPRINGS, as
remedial AGENT hereby append the following
statement: 20 i-- --- --s ~. = ~ ci-t
From what I have known and now witness by
peculiar demonstration, have no hesitation in
stating that as valuable Tonic, Alternative or
Eutrophic and Diuretic the Gold Sulphur has
no superior, it an equal anywhere.
In diseases of the Liver, Stomach Kidneys and
Skin, its curative power is wonderful. The lar
ger proportion of the patients who are now in at
tendance have been and are now suffering from
Chronic Gastrtus or Dyspepsia, with sympathet-
ic functional disturbance of the Liver and Kid
neys. And the curative agency of the water is so
extremely rapid in the amelioration of all the
gross attendant evils and symptoms or sequences
Of gastric disturbance that no one but an eye
witness would believe in the marvellously rapid
changes to the normal condition that of health.
Though strongly lmpregnated with the Sulphur

phur, it also contains, in liberal proportions, the
saline properties of the carbonates and sulphates
of soda and magnesia with trace OF the prOtox-
ide and sulphuret of iron.
Its antiacid properties are fully shown by its
almost instantaneous relief in Heartburn and
Pyroris or water brash thus relieving as by mag
ic, acidity of the stomach and prinaa via Its eff
feet as gentle aperient is certain and effective
As an appetizer and invigorator of the stomach,
by its revulsion and Alternative influence upon the
gastric nerves it has superior. Its salutary in
huence as an elminator through the medium OF
all the grand emunctories, that is, the kidneys,
skin, and bowels is decided and most beneficial
in the whole list of Chronic diseases, duplicating
the stomach, liver, skin and kidneys, and indeed
all the great vital organs and their functions,
which are essential TO maintain that harmony
upon which alone depends the normal condition.
Mark the prediction and its fulflment too, that
the day is not far distant when this watering
remedial agent of rare power and celebrity II
is pleasant to the taste, and large quantities can
be used without the sensation of pressure I'M
casness to the nerves and coats of the stomach.
Besides the air here is bracing and healthy,
and the Spring easy of access, and in addition
tt ere is a strong Chalybeate Spring few hun
dred yards distant.
