house with us. On the way, he
mentioned the particulars already
given-in continuation, he stated,
that OH drinking the first tumbler
Of water, he experienced a slight
nausea, as the first off reached the
coat of the stomach, but that this
wore off almost instaDtaDe0usly.-
Being much exhausted and exceed
ingly thirsty. he determined to
venture a second, although he firm
ly believed that both would be
thrown up. Not the slightest nau-
sea was experienced on drinking
the second tumbler Of water. Sur
prised at this effect, he determined
to ascertain what would be the eff.
feet Of taking it in larger quanti-
ties, and for this purpose he drank
about four tomblers more, when he
was prevented from proceeding
further by our remarks. The great
quantity he had taken, not only
produced no unpleasant sensations,
but on the contrary, removed those
he had previously experienced, and
served to revive him. In the course
Of the afternoon, he took two or
three glasses Of the water. About
Z o'clock, supper was served, Of
which he partook freely, making
choice of substantial food, such as
boiled chicken, bread, rice, &c.
Not the slightest nausea was pro
duced. Fearing Il recurrence the
next morning, he was advised to
take some of the water before he
left his bed. We were informed,
that a slight nausea was felt, but it
Immediately wore off on drinking
glass of water. In similar attacks,
which this gentleman had previous
ly had, each was succeeded by
such costiveness that medicine had
to be resorted to. In the present
one, there was no occasion for medi-
cine; the excavations were largo
and the bowels continued regular
during the time he remained ; nor
did he at any time thereafter, ex-
perience any nausea, with which
we were made acquainted.

Dear Sir The following is an

very beneficial effects of the Grey
Sulphur water, in relieving him
from sea sickness.
"The effects of the water on me,

supply lasted, relieved me entirely
of nausea, so that l was enabled to
eat heartily"
Having been at sea with Mr.. H.,

do not know any one on whom the
effects Of that water could be bet

Sir,-It affords me pleasure to
bear testimony to the efficacy of the
waters of the Grey Sulphur Spring
in my case. | have been suffering
from Dyspepsia, for at least fifteen
years, during which time it has
made fearful inroads on a naturally
delicate constitution. The disease
had progressed so far "a few years
ago) that the slight stimulus oI
food, produced an immediate evacu-
alton after every meal. This state
of things could not last, and a
most violent inflammation of the
bowels ensued, which brought me
to the borders of the grave, and
eyentuated in the formation of a
