the Cold Sulphur Springs. At that time I was
suffering much from general debility. a cough
which had had for Is years and a severe dis
ease of the Kidneys. After using the water three
or four weeks, foundmy general health restored.
my cough greatly relieved and improved. and
the disease of the Kidneys entirely cured. The
symptoms described above had existed for 10
months before used the water. The beneficial
effects of the water have continued permanent to
this time I consider the Cold Sulphur one OF
the best mineral waters in the State. have used
the Greenb rier White Sulphur Water and prefer
the Cold Sulphur to that.

Diseases Peculiar to the Female Sen.-Mr. e.
A. GooDLoE, of Goshen Depot, Va, in a letter
dated August 9th, 1868, says ofthe Cold Sulphur
water
''In affections of the Kidneys it acts like 8
charm. In female Irregularities and the disease.
peculiar to the female sex, it is remedy of the
greatest value. 1 remember the case of lady
who was carried to the Gold SULPHUR. upon bee
in state of health so feeble that was surprised
she should have left home, as thought she coulc
live but very short time But after using thu
water there ten days, she could walk about, an6
at the end of a month she left the Springs in per
feet health" -
II consider the water Of the Cold Sulphur full
ly equal to the Greenbrier White Sulphur which
have used, and with the properties of which,
am well acquainted"

A case of severe Disease Of the Kidneys of ten
years duration, and attended with most aggrava-
ted symptoms for the relief of which the Green
5rier White Sulphur, the Roanoke Red Sulphur
and the Street Springs were fully tired without
benefit, cured by the Cold Sulphur waterl
STAUNToN, VA, April 5, 1869.
| More than Is years ago when a boy contrac-
ted a severe disease of the Kidneys, owing to an
| injury received from strain when lifting. For
some years afterwards suffered great deal, and
| was often confined to bed for weeks at a time,
| passing blood with my urine
| 1 was sometimes so i'll that my life was despair
ed of, and was compelled to confne myself to a
| very light and mild diet. l was treated by some
| of the most eminent physicians and surgeons in
| Virginia, but only received temporary relief
| without any permanent benefit from their treat
ment. also tried some of the most celebrated
mineral waters in the State-the Green6rier
| White Sulphur for a part of two seasons, the
Roanoke Red Sulphur three summers in success
sion, and the Saoeet Springs for three CT four
| weeks. From the use of these Springs derived
no benefit In the Summer of 1866 when had
been suffering in this way for ten years, was oc-
casionally at the Cold Sulphur Springs and drank
the water once Or twice a week throughout the
season. At the end of the Summer l found my
self considerably improved In the Summer of
1867 was again at the Cold Sulphur Springs oc-
casionally throughout the season and realized
still greater improvement.
l spent the last Summer THAT of 1869 at Co
shen, and visited the Cold Sulphur, and drank
the water every day. l have found my health
greatly improved in all respects, and have had
no attack Of my old disease of the Kidneys, and
have not now been troubled with any passage of
bloody urine Tor more than twelve months. My
digestion has greatly improved, and [ can now
use all ordinary articles of food without nconve-
nience. [ formerly suffered also with constipa-
ton, which has been entirely relieved by the Cold
Sulphur water. I consider the Cold Sulphur wa
