scrvaiion in the use Of Crab Orchard
and HIarrodsburg water and salts he

they have no equal in the treatment
Of chronic diseases generally. The 32

Springs, having brought thousands
there for the use OF the water, and yet
in many cases for the abuse Of ii, and
consequently to report unfavorably.
This have more recently witnessed
at Crab Orchard. where many, in.
stead of imbibing vitality by breath
ing the pure outdoor air, remain stag
nant in a close. hot room, breathing
over and over again the carbon ex.

virus of pespiration till late in the
day, then moping languidly to their
breakfast with iurred tongue aud sick
headache. Next, seek a soft seat in a
carriage and drive to several springs,
quafiing from two to three glass Of wa

their stomachs by swimming their food
in medicine, instead of letting the con-
centrated gastric juice dissolve and
prepare il for assimilation.

liable To abuse than the water, which,

dent use, be made To suit almost any
case Of affiiciion. Where persons can.
