effects of the water Therapeutic agent upon
myself as we'll as others, take great pleasure in
that this water is decidedly the finest Tonic AL

among the Mineral Springs of Virginia.

and OF most aggravated character, in which an
entire cure was accomplished by the use of the

Dear Sir In the summer of1851 discovered
an insdiOus approach of Dyspeptic symptoms of
q Dysenteric character, (then epidemically pre-
vailing in E. Va.,) which finally in my
suited Ia an unquestlonable liberation OF the
lower portion of the colon, with general suba
cute irritation of the smaller intestines The ul-
ceraton continued for more than six months in a
vely aggravated FORM when in August, 1852
visited the celebrated curative waters of the
Rockbridge Alum. and after using that water if
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 could
venture home, where remained in feeble con-
diton. In 1854 returned by private means to
the mountains, travelling and amusing myself
by hunting, fishing, &C. In 1856, SO and 81,
found no marked improvement in my disease
In June 1858 / was seriously and suddenly at
turned to give the Rock bridge Alum another tr-
al, and after a stay of several weeks l was much
improved. During my visit took in my car
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 / next visited the Rockbridge Baths
where [ remained month and was, must say
decidedly, benefited, but only temporarily: AS
again in the season of 1859 my general condition
was becoming more serious by obstinate cos
tive condition of the bowels, with considerable
thickening of the membranes of the colon, and
by two Physicians was pronounced humorous
This season I visited the Warm Springs, and
from thence to Hot Springs, using first the boiler
for torpid Hrer and Rheumatism of the Spine
was by this treatment improved as far as the
Rheumatic Symptoms were involved, but no eff
feet on the obstinate Liver. for in 1860 was
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,
pal pitation of the heart, with such obstinate tor
pidlty of the liver and bowels, DC, as to compel
the use of wooden bougies, under rigid contrac
ton of the sphincter muscle, in order to pass any
fecal discharge from the bowels. In August,
1860, in this condition visited the Cold Sulphur
Springs where remained a month, and from the
constant use of the water land bath occasionally
1 relieved of acid stomach, constipation,
cold skin. My feeble pulse of fifty -four beats to
the minute restored to seventy-fve, usually
healthy standard, with good appetite, no head
ache, and what is very agreeable after more than
bled to sleep we'll and have continued to enjoy
both eating and sleeping WELL and have been in
good health and fine spirits since.
Wishing you great success in your new enter

dated September 23rd. 1863, says of the Cold Sui
phur Springs
GAS a Tonic and Alternative, l consider them url-
rivalled, and judging by their effects upon my
self and child, unhestatingly say that l consider
them fully equal to, if not better than any that
have ever seen. In all cases of Dyspep a, and
diseases of the Alimentary canal and organs con-
nected Herewith, have no doubt that these wa
tiers would, in a short time effect by themselves
an entire cure"

tacks of bilious fever-was only able to keep on
nv legs by the frequent use of mercury, (blue
mass. when in the summer of 1913, / think it
was Il had then been in Virginia a year or two,)
I spent two or three weeks at the Cold Sulphur
Springs, and was completely cured and have en-
joyed good health generally ever since. lived
in the neigh borhood Of these Springs several
years, and saw many persons benefited and cured
of torpid liver, indigestion dyspepsia, erysipilas,
skin diseases generally, sc. But it has been so
long since, that cannot give you particulars
1 recolect, however, perfectly well, that after
few days use of the water, dyspeptcs, as we'll as
every body else, can almost eat with impunity.-
Very truly and Respectfully Yours,
