| NATURES REMEDY FOR CHRONIC
| DISEASES
Medical Properties and Uses of the Water
| This water combines in a remarkable degree
those properties which renderit a remedial agen
of peculiar, perhaps of unequalted value for the
eradication Of disease and the Oh hean
The extraordinary cures which have been made
| by it in many Chronic Diseases, and in some ca
| ses which seemed almost hopeless, justly enttle
| it to rank with the most famous Mineral Springs
of Virginia and the world. Indeed there is
strong reason to believe that in many of the most
| serious, unmanageable and widely prevailing
diseases that af1ct the human race, the Cold Sui
phur Water is not only the most safe, mild and
pleasant, but also the most certain and efectua
| remedy yet discovered.
| Under its benign, revolutionizng and renova-
| ting influences, many chronic maladies vanish
| like the mists of the morning under the uncloud-
| ed rays Of the sum- the ruddy glow of Health re-
| visits pallid cheeks to which it had become a
stranger; in many cases animation, elasticity,
| energy and buoyancy supersede the bodily Ian
| guor, debility, Irritation and disease which had
| long reigned supreme in the system, and cheer
ancholy condition of the mind which is the le-
gtimate offspring of physical suffering
| This water presents the rare combination OF
| Aperient, Diuretic, Diaphoretic Alternative, Ton
| &c add Eutrophie properties. Acting freely up
ON the Bowels, Liver, Kidneys and Skin, it thor
| oughly puritfes the blood, and eliminates from
| the system the essential elements of disease
xyb 10 hxyi fi1l
it invigorates the stomach; enrches the vital
fluid; gives tone and energy to the muscles and
| nerves; renovates the entire organism, and re-
establishes health and strength
In Dyspepsia, Liver Disease, Bilious Com
plants, CostiUeness, and General Debility it is a
remedy of unsurpassed utility and power.
Especially upon the STOMACH its influence
| is prompt. decided and highly beneficial. 1t
speedily relieves heartburn, increases the appe-
tite and promotes digestion, so that as general
rule persons using it can eat with impunity, and
that all-lmportant organ which supplies strength
| and nutriment to the whole system is soon res
| tored to strictly normal condition.
Being an efficient Aperient and laxative, it
causes regular and healthy action of the bowels,
and is most admirable remedy in cases of ha-
6ituaL constipation.
| AS an ants-biLious remedy it il unsurpassed
1 Over the functions of the LIVER it exercises
| the most powerful and salutary control. If the
| bile be deficient in quantity, it acts as direct
| stimulus to the Liver, and surely though gradu-
ally forces the secretion up healthy standard.
And whether the Liver be torpid and INSTRUCTED
as in jaupdice. in excited and irritated con-
ditOn, dscharging excess of vitlated bile, the
judicious use of this water is equally eficacious
in unloading the viscus and restoring the secre-
tons to a healthy state hf4
Being not only free and powerful, but mild
and soothing DIURETIC, this water exerts q
decided sedative and calmative influence over
the Urinary Organs; and has been pre-eminent-
ly successful in cases of Inflammation, Irritation,
and Debility of the Kidneys, Bladder and Ore
thra. AS a remedy in such malades it has no
superior iH - ssfH3H.s 9f4 III be,t.
In some Diseases PECULIAR TO FEMALES it is

lybeate waters here A,nenorrhga and Dysnae,s-
orrhea-a0hen purely functional diseases and un-
complicated by organic or structural derange-
znent-will yield to the same means.
Cases of Erysipelas, Rheumatism and Cutane-
ous Eruptions have been cured by the Cold Sui
phur Water. asthma. Chronic Bronchitis and
Chronic Pneumonia will either receive much re-
lief and mitigation from its use, or be entirely
cured by it.
Various Chronic functional arrangements of
the HEART, the BRAIN, and the LUNGS and some
forms of NEURALGIA, GoUT and SCRoFULA are
in fact, sympathetic secondary diseases, and
have their prime cause or origin in, and are kept
alive by. a deranged, enfeebled and irritable con-
dition of the stomach and alimentary canal In
such cases the Gold Sulp hur Water, by virtue of
its unequalled curative and restorative powers in

ate remedy.
The great Alternative, Tonic, and Eutrophie
properties of this water are clearly shown by the
marked improvement of the general health, and
the increase of flesh and strength which gener-
ally follow Its use.
In many cases so speedy and thorough is its
curative agency, that in the language OF dis
tingushed physician, who had himself seen its
effects, mo one but an EYEWITNESS would be-
lieve in the marvelously rapid change to nor
NAL condition Or that of health
Some Of the cures which have been made by
it are OF the most extraordinary character. Ca
SEES which were apparently of the most hopeless
nature. for the relief of which not only all the

Extracts from a letter of DR.. G. r. HARRIS, a
distinguished physician of Staunton, Va. His
opinion of the curative power of the Cold Sui
phur Water in diseases of the Stomach, Liver,
Kidneys and Skin.
ssFrom what have known and now witness
by ocular demonstration, have no hesitation in
stating that as valuable Tonic, Alternative or
Eutrophic and Diuretic, the Cold Sulphur has no
superior, if an equal, any where"
tIn diseases of the Liver Stomach, Kidneys
and Skin its curative power is wonderful. The
tendance have been and are now suffering from
Chronic Gastritis or Dyspepsia, with sympathetic
functional disturbance of the Liver and Kidneys.
And the curative agency OF the water IS so ex-
tremely rapid in the amelioration ofall the grave
attendant evils, symptoms or sequences OF gastric
disturbance that no one but an eye witness would
believe in the marvelously rapid change to a nor
NAL condition or that of health
