| HEALING SPRINGS. VA, July Il, 1882.
| The charming character OF the climate in
this valley, and the wonderfully fine sani-
tary influence Of the bracing atmosphere
hereabouts, could not be better tested than
now, when coming from crowded cities in
the lower country, where the inhabitants
thereof are felicitating themselves upon a
seemingly continuance OF cool weather,
you compare the effects OF the one and the
other. Ii il Is cool in the city, it is cooler
here; and il it be hot i'm the city, il is (at
midday almost Us warm here; yet under
all circumstances the ratio in quality OF at
mosphere Is about the same. The healthful
properties OF an atmosphere some 1900
feet above the sea is, however, never under
any circumstances youchSafed inhabitants
OF the lower country.
The days are pleasant, and the nights are
to some rather cold, yet to all does this
healthful air give disposition for the most
effective use OF
| THE HEALING WATER.
And what wonderful liquid is this same
Healing water. The statement that it cor
reefs ali and every irregularity Of the sys-
TEN may be readily made of almost any
place hy those correspondents who are
given to putting and careless handling of
the truth, yet as applied to the waters Of
the Healing il is fact too well attested by
thousands who, once afflicted, are now in
the enjoyment Of perfect health, to admit OF
q doubt. There are numbers Of persons
here to-day who readily acknowledge most
benefcent results from the use OF the water,
while many others through its aid pro-
claim themselves cured Of the most ha-
RAISING nervous complaints. With a rail-
road running through this valley the Heal
ing would undoubtedly become one of the
greatest fountains Of health in the country.
VISITORS TO THE MOUNTAINS
are not, as general thing, so plentiful this
year as in 1870 on II. The unusually late
spring and the continued cool weather this
summer has had its depressing effect upon
the mountain resorts as well as upon those
OF the seaside. While there is not crowd
In this valley, the Healing, Hot, and Warm
have each Il good company, and we may
safely predict good season for them.
There are
AT THE HEALING

sons from the far North, South, and West
