Some of the subjects of the Getty sburg
Water cures are among the distinguished
men of the country. Prominent among
these may be named ex-Attorney Genera
Stanberry, Hon. John Davis, of Dayisville
Pa, the 1t. Rev. P. E. Moriarty, Provincial
of the Augustinian Order of Catholics In
the United States, George Jones, of the New
York Times, etc. To these living witnesses
to the curative and restorative powers OF
the Gettysburg Kstalysine Water must be
added not fewer. than hundred thousand
of lesser note scattered over the country,
and over the world, for the Gettysburg
Water has become great traveller; confined
in bottles or demijohns it has traversed the
Continent, it has crossed the seas, and is
used as healing balm in every cline, and
by every civilized people.
Nearly all the leading medical journals
and medical writers have reported the Get
tysburg water cares, and have been more
enthusiastic in their expressions Of admira-
ton ofthe strange and startling curative phe-
nomena which they present than even the
newspaper press. The thirteenth revised
edition of the United States Dispensatory,
the highest authority among physicians and
druggists, assigns the battle field Spa the
foremost rank among the carbonated medi-
cal sources of the world, CHASING it with the
European Vichy and Pyrmont.
Surely the life principle has triumphed al
Gettysburg most wonderfully in the long
run of events. The battle and its incident
the discovery of this spring, have resulted
in an addition to, rather than substrac
ton from the sum of human life. But the
great healing spring is not only saving, and
by the sword in the battle at Gettysburg
but it is repairing the ravsges of the wal
and Transforming the physical aspects of the
surrounding theatres of strife. In the pc
riodical influx of health pilgrims to thi:
| fountain of Hygeia, and in the expenditure
| of foreign capital in their midst the people o
Gettysburg are being measurably compen-
stated for the losses they sustained during
| the battle. There is something impressive
and awe-inspiring in the rapid transforma
ton of this great battlefield, with its TEEN
ing cemeteries and immortal memories, in
to gigantic park or pleasure ground TO
visitors to this healing spring. The mum

resorted to Gettysburg since the discovery
of this spring has more than doubled ever,
year; this season it has more than qua
drupled. Gettysburg and and its environ
are again in possession OF an army o
| invasion, but this time the invader
are seeking the preservation of their owl
| lives aud not the destruction @
those of others. Every availabl
resource of entertainment ant
lodging is exhausted, and still they come
| The employees Of the principal hotels hay
been kept tolerably busy during the month
of July and August telegraphing or writin
applicants for accommodations not to come
as there was no more room. 1t really az
pears as if all the world would come 7
Gettysburg this season, if they could onl
be provided with entertainment and amuse
ment. The season commenced on the hrs
of May, and seems likely to project into tn
Autumn months. At this rate Gettysbur
will soon be a gamer as well as the natio
and the human race, by the battle of Get
tysburg.
l cannot more appropriately concl1d'
this account of the curative prodigy which
is here astonishing the world, than by quo
ting from some of the medical reports W
on its curative effects. Medical men ar,
not apt to exaggerate the virtues of newl
discovered therapeutic agents. Perhap
the tendency is in an opposite direction
What they do say, therefore, is entirely II
liable.
DR.. Bell, the author of medical wor
on Mineral Springs, thus catalogues tn
curative effects of the Gettysburg Kataly
sine Water:
The Gettysburg Water has produced sig
nally curative and restorative effects in dit
ferent forms of Dyspepsia, Sickness in til
Stomach, HeartbGrR, Waterbrash, Acut
Neuralgia Pains, Loss of Appetite, Chroni
Diarrh@s, Torpid Liver, Gout, Chroni
Rheumatism, Nodosities of the Joints, Al
preaching and Actual Paralysis, Diabetes
Kidney Disease, Gravel, Hematuria, Ah
dominal Dropsy, Cholera Infantum, etc.
The New York Medical Record beal
the following testimony to the marvelou
power Of this fluid over the human orgaI
ism;
From experiments made on our own pc
son, as well as others, we can state the Gei
tysburg water is regulator of all thes
secretions and excretions; under its infll
ence the kidneys and LIVER, the glands
the intestinal canal and the skin, all pc
form their normal functions; the bowels,
constipated, become regular; the skin,
dry, becomes moist; the torpid liver is e.
cited to healthy action, and the kidneys pc
form their functions with perfect regularit
