spring is kept at the Exchange" free
for all. And as it scarcely differs IN taste
from pure water it is used freely. The
spring is a long half mile from the bust

by Richard Dunbar who has issued cir.

Making all due allowance for imperfect

is still sufficient evidence to entitle the
water to due consideration and confidence
in the treatment Of tome diseases seldom
