the prDprietorS OF the celebrated springs at
Hot Springs Arkansas. On his recent trip
10 the southwest Jay could was taken sick
and stopped at the Hot Springs. His ply
stefan prescribed brandy or whisky, but
could not induce him TO follow the pre-
SCriptiOn, as Mr.. Gould is a total abstainer.
Finally Colonel FOrdyce took him in
haDd. and after painting in rose&te hueS
the medicinal virtues OF a certain peculiar
spring belonging TO him, he persuaded the
railroad king 10 try a glass. Col. FordyCe
prepared a glass OF rock and rye in q
style TO tempt the palate OF Neal Dow, and
GOuld drank II down without Il suspicion
of its spiritu0Us origin. After smaCking
his lips he looked at Col. FOriyce and
bringing his fist down on the center table
with bang, he said: The man who owns
the spring producing that water has for
tune in it The story would not be COM
pIele without telling that the drink did
Mr.. Gould much good.
