Cherokee Spring, (the Indian name) com.
monty known as M"rtin's Spring, Is the
property of avery clever gentleman, Mr:
C"ntrelI, ut whose hospltable house I am
r"s'lc"d%g. Sixteen years ago this gentle.
man troubled with liver similar in obsti.
macy to tho ono with which your correapon-,
dent Is unfortunately afflicted, came here,
and here has ho rcmained, ever since, en-
joying degree Of health unknown to him
before; one proof certaiuly Of the health-
| giving properties Of this miueral water.
This spring is charmingly sitqatcd nbout
eight miles north Of. the town Of Spartan.
burg, IN n lovely country, diversified by
rolling hill and gentle dale and in an at.
mosphere pure aud invigor"ting, which lat
ter feature is almost enough in itself to
| build up and restore tho cnervated, broken
frame Of the invalid !hculth.seekcr. Why
the fame Of this place Is not moro generally
known is little singular. tut may perhaps
be the fault of its proprietor, who is anex.
cecdingly modest man, and who does not
like 10 appear before tho public, anil who
| seeks not for the bubble reputation. It is
my purpose to bring his light out from un.
der the bushci, which now In a great meas.
nre hides it, and tell to the afflicted that
here enjoyment and health arc to DO found.
Hero Gun lie fly from tho icveri,b, CROW dcd
town and city, and from the business which
taxes his every energy, calls for all his
strength and is sapping tho very fountain
head Of his life, aud find rest and health.
The many cures effected by this water In
cutaneous diseases, liver complaint aud L in.
drcd ailments attest Its sovereign virtues.
But lest some carping old fellow may say
that am writing all This through interest.
etl motives. that am about buying out the
springs and AIN drumming up customers,
will say no more about it just now, but re.
serve whatever thoughts have on this sub.
