''CoLp SULPHUR SPRINGsl
"RocKBRIDGE, VA. August %, 1858.
"At the request OF Mr.. Samuel Goode, the propri-
etor Of this valuable watering place, who solicits
my opinion of the value Of the Cold Sulphur, or
more appropriately speaking. the CARBONATED
FERRUGINOUs SULPHUR SPRING as re-
medal agent, hereby append the following state
ment: From what have known and now wit
ness by occular demonstration. I have no hesita-
ton in stating that, valuable tonic, Alternative,
or eutrophic and diuretc, TIE Cold Sulphur has no
superior, If an equal, anywhere.
"In diseases Of the stomach. liver. kidneys. and
skin It's curative power Is wonderful. The larger
proportion Of patients who are now in attendance
have been and are now suffering from chronic gas
tritis or dyspepsia with sympathetic functional
disturbance Of the liver and kidneys and the cura
tive agency Of the water Is so extremely rapid In
the amelioration of all the grave attendant evils
and symptoms or sequences OF gastric disturb
ances that one but an eyewitness would be-
lieve in the marvcllously rapid change to normal
condition or that OF health. Though strongly i'm
pregnated with the snphureted hydrogen gas or
with proportion of sulphur, 1t also contains in
liberal proportions the saline properties Of the
carbonates and sulphates of soda and magnesia,
with trace ofthe protoxide and sulphuret ofiron.
Its anti-acd properties are fully shown by its al
and water brash, thus relieving. as If by magic1
acidity of the stomach or 1JriD1 TiH.
"Its effect as gentle apericnt Is certain and eff
fective. AS an appetizer and invigorator OF the
stomach by its revusivc and Alternative influence
upon the gastric nerves, 1t has no superior. It's
salutary influence as an eiminator through the
medium Of all the grand emanctories-that is, the
kidneys, skin, and bowels-is decided and most be-
nefcial In the whole list Of chronic diseases impi
eating 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 fufment. too, that
the day is not far distant when this watcrngplace
will rank among the most valuable as a remedial
agent Of rare power and celebrity. 1t is pleasant
to the taste, and large quantities he used with
out the sensation of pressure or uneasness to the
coat and nerves of the stomach.
"Besides, the air here is bracng and healthy, and
the spring easy Of access and In addition there is
strong chalybeate spring few hundred yards dis
