GLENN SPRINGS, S G.
Aug. 81, 1884.

water does not have the effect on
me as in former years. 1t is not the
fault of the water, though, but old
age. Yet / begin to feel that it is
taking effect on my stubborn liver,
and stiff limbs and joints. When
! l say powerful water" 1 mean
what I say. I have been coming
to this spring since the year Of 1912,
missing very few summers for 43
years. 1 have Witnessed some re-
markable cures Of diseases the hui
man family is subject to both
males and females, and particularly
females. The women should not
stay away from this remarkable
water, no matter what may be their
disease, old or young, it is certain
to cure by drinking freely of it.
In my past long life l have visited
the greater portion of the watering
places in the United States, France
and Germany, but | have found
none equal to Glenns water for all
diseases. This water has power
ful reputation from the fact that it
is shipped pretty much all over the
! United States. The shipments have
become great, amounting to from
$4,000 to $4,000 Per annum at
81 per case of "a quart bottles.
The water is shipped in winter
equal to summer. BY shipping in
kegs or barrels it comes cheaper
than by case. The proprietors have
erected a good new house at the
spring for bottling and putting up
the water for shipment. The ar
rangements are complete and scien-
tifc, that none of the medical prop
critics of the water can escape be-
fore leaving the springs. 1t is
true this water is good when ship
ped but nothing like it is when
drank at the spring, where you can
dip down deep and drink from one
gallon to ten gallons a day OF
the cool water Of life. When it is
shipped, and you have to buy the
water, very few drink enough.
This water will not hurt, no matter
how much you drink, the more the
better. This water is shipped l
suppose to every county in the
State, to Baltimore, Philadelphia,
New York, Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, New Orleans, Tennessee,
Kentucky, North Carolina, Florida,
Washington, Virginia, and over the
deep to France and Germany.
l will only speak a few words
of the two young men, the Messrs.
Simpson, proprietors of the hotel.
They are kind and accommodating,
and as gentlemanly as young men
can be, and I feel like extending an
invitation to them to come down to
Newberry to captivate our accom-
plished and beautiful young ladies,
| to assist them in keeping hotel,
But when I get to thinking that we
have the same kind ofyoung men in
Newberry, I fail to extend the in'
vitation. I can't put any barrier
in the way of our young men. Right
here l must ask the young ladies
of our city to keep watch over the
young men, and if they hear OF
any that are not walking q straight
chalk line, telegraph me and l will
send a guard after them. Young
ladies keep strict spies out for
them until I get home. When l
first landed here this season the
number of visitors was not gre at,
but for the last two weeks great
numbers have come in, the guests
amounting to about $50 Of all soris,
old and young, and many distin-
guished gentlemen and ladies of
| this and other States. will not
attempt to name leading gentlemen
of the State. find all guests both
gentlemen and ladies so perfect
| in their manners and department, |
can't make any distinction. The
old and young come here for the
benefit of the water, but this water
soon makes visitors have life, and
they must have amusements, cut
ting the fantastic, throwing nine
pins, playing billiards, and all
kinds of games of cards for amuse:
mept. Some games are very ex'
citing and closely contested. Some
contend the fastest on record,
equal to Maud S.. making it in cne,
nine and half seconds. The game
| Of Pedro is common. 1 wish for
nv friends in Newberry County to
take a hand in the game. The
young ladies and gentlemen dress
we'll aud make a fine appearance
excelling anything IN the way OF
style in the ball room ! ever saw,
except at balls in Newberry.
This water is remarkable to give
any person an appetite; man, woman
or child will eat about four times
as much as at home. The propric
tors give good fare, and plenty OF
it and good servants, but the great
trouble is four cooks though experts
cannot prepare food fast enough.
AS soon as. the bell rings the
guests come TO the table like
swarms of black birds on field OF
barley, and so hungry it is q hard
matter for them to wait on the
walters. These $50 water drinkers
eat as much as 1000 persons who
have not access TO the water.
