myself as we'll as Others, take great pleasure in
stating Tor the benefit of the afflicted generally,
that this water IS decidedly the finest Toxic Al
TEKATIvE and DIURETIc that I have ever seen
among the Mineral Springs of Virginia n
Its ehicacyln the rapid cure of Dyspepsia and
arrangements OF the Digestive Organs general
~, is certainly astonishing and remarkable [
know of two cases of dyspepsia of long standing
and of q most aggravated character in which an
entlre cure was accomplished by the use of the
Oold Sulphur water for only a few weeks. From
my knowledge of the effects Of this water, / am
enabled confidently to recommend it to all suf-
ferlng with Chronic Pneumonits, Bronchitis,
Asthma Splenitis, and all affections of the Liver,
SKIN and kidneys-also that class Of diseases pc

quest, | submit to you briefstatement of a case
of rapid recovery which came under my own i'm
mediate observation Mrs. n. T., aged about 56
years, was about four years and six months ago,
was protraeted, and in fact for some time the case
appeared entirely hopeless. At length she was
partially restored to health For four years she
had complained with a continued soreness of the
breast, and very distressing cough; and in fac,
had presented aid the symptoms of lncipient
Phthisis A visit of five weeks at the Cold Sui
phur has astonished all by producing a perfect
cure z-ssl Sr-~
The Chemical properties of the water are I'M.
known to me, but its curative properties are as
tonishing. 1t is powerful tonic-diuretic, aperi-
ent and Alternative. By it's use all Chronic Dis
eases ofthe lungs, Dyspepsia, Hepatic Disorders,
and Chlorotc Diseases will receive great relief, if
not be permanently cured. With these brief
hints, trust that many may be greatly benefit
ted by its use.

Oct 81 1868.
Deas. S5r:-In the summer of1s51 discovered
an insidious approach Of Dyspeptic symptoms OF
Dysenteric character, then epidemically pre-
v:liing in E. Va which finally in my case re-
suited in an unquestionable liberation of the
lower portion of the colon, with general suba-
cute irritation of the smaller intestines. The u-
ce.ration continued for moro than six months in
very aggravated form, when in August, 1882 L
visited the celebrated curative waters of the
brio Un a nm at f.
teen or twenty days was not materially improv
ed, thinking it rather stimulating at that time
lett the Springs but continued to travel in the
mountains by private conveyance until l could
enture home, where [ remained in feeble con-
dIton. In 1854, returned by private means to
the mountains, travelling and amusing myself
by hunting, fishing, sc. In 1886, $50 and 357, l
found no marked Improvement in my disease
In June 1853 was seriously and suddenly at
tackled in more aggravated form, when re-
turned to give the Rockbridge Alum another trl-
al, and after a stay of several weeks L was much
improved During my visit took in my ear
riage party of friends to the Cold Sulphur,
(Which was then In an embryo state OF improve
ment), l was at once favorably impressed with
the water. I next visited the Rockbridge Baths
where [ remained month and was, l must say,
decidedly benefited, but only temporarily. AS
again in the season Of 1859 my general condition
was becoming mere serious by obstinate cos
tive condition Of the bowels, with considerable
thckening OF the membranes of the colon, and

from thence to Hot Springs, using first the boiler

was by this treatment improved as far as the
Rheumatic Symptoms were involved, but no eff
feet on the obstinate Liver, Tor in 1860 l was so
reduced in flesh and by continued constipation
my nervous system was so shattered, that it to-
tally disqualified me for any kind OF business,
suffering from acid stomach, nervous debility,
palpitation of the heart with such obstinate tor
pidlty of the liver and bowels, &c, as to compel
the use of wooden bougies under arigld contrac-
ton Of the sphineter muscle, in order to pass any
fecal discharge from the bowels In August,
1860. in this condition visited the Cold Sulphur
Springs where / remained month, and from the
constant use Of the water and bath occasionally
L was relieved of acid stomach. constipation
nervous debility, palpitatlon of the heart and
cold skin. My feeble pulse of fifty -tOur beats to
the minute was restored to seyenty-five, usually
healthy standard with good appetite, no head
ache, and what Is very agreeable after more than
nine years OF miserable nervousness, was ena-
bled to sleep well and have continued to enjoy
both eating and sleeping well, and have been in
good health and fine spirits ever since.

JUDGE L. GIBBONS of Mobile, Ala, in a letter
dated September 23rd, 1868, says Of the Cold Sui
phur Springs:
''As Tonic and Alternative, consider them I'M
rvaled, and judging by their effects upon my
self and child, unhesitatingly say that consider
them fully equal to, if not better than any that
have ever seen. In all cases of Dyspepsia and
diseases of the ELEMENTARY canal and organs con-
nected Herewith have no doubt that these wa
tiers would in short time, effect by themselves
an entire cure"

Letter of D. Kunkle, Esq, of Augusta CO., Va.
DEAR STR had been living for a number of
wears in Southern climate-had frequent at
tacks of bilious fever-was only able to keep on
my legs by the frequent use Of mercury, (blue
mass when III the summer of l84o, L think 1t
was, e had then been in Virginia year or two,)
l spent two or three weeks at the Cold Sulphur
Springs, and was completely cured, and have en-
ioyed good health generally ever since | lived
in the neghborhood of these Springs several
years, and saw many persons benefited and cured
skin diseases generally sc. But it has been
long since, that | cannot give you particulars-
/ recolect, however, perfectly WELL that after
few days use of the water, dyspeptics, as well as
everybody else, can almost eat with impunity.-
Very truly and Respectfully Yours

Mrs E. N. SLOAN of Rockbridge county, Va,
who resided at the Cold Sulphur Springs, for IS
years, says in a letter dated August 9th, 1868:
''Its use has almost invariably been highly ben
efcial. I have known it to cure cases of Dyspep-
STA, Liver Diseases, rheumatism and Cutaneous
Eruptions. The general health Of persons using
1t always seemed to improve [ consider it fully
equal to any mineral water in Virginia..
