GOLD SULPHUR SPRINGS, VA

NOLD SULPHUR SPRINGS, Va
y Important letter from DR.. G. r. Harris, of
Staunton, Va, one Of the most eminent and dis
tingushed 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,
Rockbridge County, Va.
August 18th, 1868. J
AT the request of Mr. Samuel Goode, tn e pro-
prietor of this valuable watering place, who So
licits my opinion of the value Of the Cold Sui
phur, or, more appropriately speaking, the CAR
DONATED FERRUGINOUs SULPHUR SPRINGS, as
a remedial agent-I hereby append the following
statement:
From what have known and now witness by
ocular demonstration, I have no hesitation In
stating that as valuable Tonic, Alternative or
Eutrophic and Duretic, the Gold Sulphur has
no superior, if 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 now suffering from
Chronic Gastritus or Dyspepsia, with sympathet-
ic functional disturbance OF the Liver and Nd
neys. And the curative agency of the water is SO
extremely rapid in the ameloratlon 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 or that OF health
Though strongly 1mpregnated with the Sulphur
cited Hydrogen Gas, or with lSbportlon OF sui
phur, it also contains, in liberal proportions, the
saline properties of the carbonates and sulphates
of soda and magnesia with q trace OF the prOtOX-
ide and sulphuret of iron.
It's antiacid properties are fully shown by its
almost instantaneous relief in Heartburn and
Pyroris or water brash, thus relieving as by mag
ic, acdity of the stomach and priDa0 oiG Its eff
feet as gentle aperient is certain and effective
AS an appetizer and invigorator of the stomach
by its revusion and Alternative influence upon the
huence as an eliminator through the medium of
all the grand emunctores, 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 so essential to maintain that harmony
upon which alone depends the normal condition
Mark the prediction and its fullflment too, that
the day is not far distant when this watering
place will rank amongst the most valuable as a
remedial agent of rare power and celebrity. II
is pleasant to the TASTE and large quantities can
be used without the sensation of pressure or I'M
easiness to the nerves and coats of the stomach.
Besides the air here is bracing and healthy
there is strong Chalybeate Spring a few hun
dred yards distant.
