The Buffalo Lithia Waters
PROTRACTED INTERMITTENT AND REMIT
TENT FEVERS.

Extract from letter of DR.. o. F. Manson, Professor
of General Pathology and Physiology in the Med
zeal College, Richmond, Va, of July 5thi 1915
"These waters have been found especially cura-
tive in cases of chronic intermittent fever, many ID
trac;abe having been thereby restored to per-
feet health in a brief space of time"
Extract from pamphlet of DR.. S. H Harris on these
waters, published in 1850.
"In the chronic forms of theae troublesome
denies the Buffalo water acts most happily, and, IT
persevered in, often effects permanent cure. Those
engagements of the liver and spleen concomitants
of these affections simultaneously relieved with
the chills and fever"
Case of e. K. Harris, Esq of the Virginia Bar,
now an elector for the State upon the DEMOCRATIC
Presidential Ticket. Extract from letter dated
Buffalo Springs, August 10Th, 1873.
'Some years ago my system was completely worn
and fever After using all the remedies indicated
in such cases in vain visited the most noted water
ing places of the mountains of Virginia. without de-
irving any benefits almost in despair OF obtaining
relief from any source, | left the mountains and
came to these Springs, where, In few weeks, was
entirely restored to health"
Evidences of the great powers of these Waters in
Chronic Intermittent and Remittent Fever might be
multiplied to almost any extent, both from profess
sonal and unprofessional sources.

pounds. Wheat is known the world
over as the 'statf Of life,' and is copsid-

therefore no one WILL doubt for moment
but that wheat is the cheapest Of the

Commodore Vanderbilt is rapidly fail

"talling to pieces" This would not be

die and make vacancy. To that END
1t is said that Gould has been for q long
time carrying an enormous load of New

where it will do the most good when the
Commodore's time is up. And on these
