Those who are disposed to class the Gettysburg
Kstalysine Water with the quack medicines and
the new mineral spring waters of the day. may
easily disabuse their minds of this impression By
reference to the United States Dispensatory-the
highest authority known to druggists or physi-
clans. By turning to page 1879 of the thirteenth
revised edition of this work, they will perceive
that the analysis of the Gettysburg Spring, Of
some eight years of age, is classed with that of
the European vichy and Pyrmont, as many hun
dred years old; in other words, Is assigned the
foremost rank among the great aqueous medi-
cines Of the world. This work is kept by all
druggists. We prefer that all who read this ad-
vertisement shall examine it, as a precaution
against deception. After having done so, they
win be better prepared to credit the medical tes-
timony to its great and varied curative powers.
We can only briefly refer to the specification OF
the curative virtues of the Gettysburg Water by
high medical authorities.
We will precede these references by quota
ton from the remarks of DR.. Bell, an eminent
American physician and medical author, upon
the new semi-therapeutical and chemical power
discovered in this water-thst of dissolving cal
culus, or stone in the human system. AS the
stony particles, or connections known as calcu-
lus, and the excess Of acids which produce them,
are sscertained to be the remote or immediate
cause of our prevalent chronic maladiss, if not,
indeed, of all diseases, it logically results that
the Gettysburg Water must be the most extern
sive remedial agency ever known to the race.
Whether it is SO or not, let medical men decide.
DR.. Bell thus refers to its solution of one of the
forms Of calculus-that known as "chalkstones,"
or the Nodosities Of Rheumatism or Gout:
''Recourse to all known therapeuticAl agents
and modes of treatment are Intellectual beyond,
sometimes, reduction Of the size Of the nodes
of equity or rheumatic nature by absorption OF
a part of the outer and investing structure. But
the entire removal Of the inorganic body, with
out surgical Intervention, has not, We believe,
hitherto been brought about by either internal
remedies or external applications, or by both
united. In the case now under notice, we cannot
believe that the sbsorbents would be equal to the
task of sucking up, as it were, the deposited in
organic matter, unless this deposit had been
subjected to the solvent action of the blood
brought to the part by the delicate cspillariss.
Whence comes this solvent property?" He fur
Their adds shat it has produced signally curative
and restorative effects upon different forms OF
Dyspepsia, Sickness of the Stomach, Heartburn,
Waterbrash, Acute Neuralgia Pains, Loss of APP
petite, Chronic Diarrhea, Torpid Liver, Gout,
Chronic Rheumatism, MODESTO of the Joints,
Approaching and Acute Paralysis, Diabetes
General Debility, Hematuria, Abdominal Drop
sy, Cholera Infantum, diseases of the Genito-
Urinary Organs, etc.,
The New York Medical Record, one of our lead
ing medical journals, states as the result of the
experience Of one of its editors with this water
that "from experiments made on our own person
as well as others, we can state that the Gettys
burg Water is regulator OF all the secretion
and excretions. Under its influence the kidney
and liver, the glands of the intestinal canal ant
the skin, all perform their normal functions; tn
bowels, if constipsted, become regular; the skin
if dry, becomes moist; the torpid liver is excite
to healthy action and the kidneys perform thef
functions with perfect regularity. There is to
tai abstinence of any disagreeable sensation
whstever; the Wis medicatri1 seems reused to in
creased activity, and all morbid causes of bodily
or even mental disorder, seem rapidly to pas
away. The result is increased appetite and di
gestion, a freer circulation, a stronger pulse,
cslmer mind, more tranquil sleep, cleare
cular power"
The Medical and Surgical Reporter, of Phila
delphia, another of our leading medical Journals
editorially refers to this wonderful Water: "a
a mild alkaline water, it is found to be sdspte

complications, including disorder of the live
and kidneys; the remote effects of imperfect as
iimnstion, as exhibited in govt, chronic rheums
tism, neuralgia, and an impoverished state {

DR.. Hull, of No. 40 West Twenty-fourth stree
New York, has prescribed the Gettysburg Waite
successfully fer Bright's Disease, and in one in
stance for Albuminuria, associated with or II
sulting in total paralysis OF the lower extremi
ties and incspacity to turn or move on the be-
for years without assistance. DR.. Charles Shear
er, homeopathic physician of Baltimore, has dis
solved Urates with this Water, and cured Gout
Rheumatism, Kidney and Bladder Diseases, In
potence, etc. DR.. Huber, of Gettysburg, has ei
fected with it most wonderful cure of Necrosi
or Dissolution of the Bone and Running Sores
DR.. Horner, of the same town, has cured with /
Nephritic Collie, Rhensl Calculi, complicate
with other dreadful maladies. DR.. swope, G
Gettysburg cured with this water an infan
child constipated and disordered from its birth
| and the instincts Of the child could distinguis
the Gettysburg from common water, though tn
taste is the same to older palates. 1t would re
jeot the latter, and, clutching the vessel con
tanning the former, press it to its lips. Here is
medical lecture, or commentary, more eloqueH
than any ever uttered or written by orator or sa
van. DR.. T. Williams, of Milwaukee, Wis, hs
cured with it Neuralgia of the Heart, and othe
Heart diseases; also reduced the enlarged Live
and Spleen of malarious districts. DR.. H. n
