STRIBLING SPRINGS, VA. July 9, 1872.
In the year 1856 was reduced to the verge OF
the grave by dyspepsia, which had existed for
four years unrelieved by the best medical treat
ment. My digestion was so feeble that L was
unable 10 eat either vegetables, meat butter, or
any other rich article of food. l was restricted
to diet of bread milk, molasses, &C., and was
greatly emaciated. For two years I had been
very feeble, and was unable to do even the light
est work, being generally confined to the house,
and often walk of twenty yards would COM
pletely exhaust me. / suffered greatly with ner-
vous debility and my sleep was broken and ir-
regular.
In this condition in the summer of 1856 came
to the Stribling Springs to try the waters as a
last resort, and having only a faint hope that
they might benefit me. For about six weeks l
used the alum and chalybeat springs, relying,
| however, pr1nClpdlly upon tH0 HULL AZ CHo
end of this felt like new man. My digestion
had greatly improved. and my strength had in
creased so that could walk three miles day
without serious fatigue My sleep also was
sound and refreshing. When l left the Springs
I took five gallons of the water with me, and
used it at home occasionally. l continued to
improve and strengthen until the next summer,
when I returned to the Strlbling Springs. where
| remained two months, using the water as be-
fore. I again derived great benefit and the next
year could eat all ordinary articles of food with
out inconv enience, and was strong enough to do
almost any kind of farm work. | have since re-
sorted to the Springs at various times, and from
that period to the present time-about fourteen
vears-haya been, as l am now, in comfortable
health and strength. " BOLTON.
