the best works on the use of Mineral Waters

lnal dropsy. In two cases Of the latter disease it
restored the almost suspended action of the kid
neys after the usual diuretics had failed to do any
good. In the diari heal stage of cholera infantum
when given in dose of a tablespoonful at stated
intervals, it will sometimes diminish and almost ar
rest the intestinal discharges, and alter beneficial
y their character by substituting slight bilious for
Watcry ones. AS tonic, its actions well mark

marks:
'Thus far have confined myself in its admins
tratOn to cases of chronic rheumatism, govt, and
diseases OF the kidneys and bladder being guided
in great measure by the effects produced during
the proving by Dr. Herring | am, however, per-
fecty satisfied from the strictly alkaline character
OF The water, and the soda, magnesia, and lime,
with which the lthia is combined, that it most prove
sgnally curative in different forms OF dyspepsia,
diseases of the liver stomach and bowels"
The New York Medical Record in an Editorial
on the Gettysburg Catalysine Water, says:
"From experiments made on our own perso on as
well as others, we can state that the Gettysburg
Water is q regulator of all the secretions and eX-
cretons; under its influence the kidneys and liver,
the glands of the intestinal canal and the skin, all
perform their normal functions; the bowels if con
supated, become regular: the skin, if dry, becomes
moist the torpid liver is excited to healthy action
and the kidneys perform their fun tons with per-
feet regularity There is a total abstinence of any
isagreeable sensations whatever; the cis medicG-
lrtt seems reused TO increased activity and all NOR
bid causes of bodily or even disorder seem rapidly
20 pass away. The result is: Increased appetite
and digestion, freer circulation, Il stronger pulse,
A calmer mind, a~more tranquil sleep, clearer
and an increasing nervous and mus
,ular power"
