Dear Sir,-It gives me great
pleasure to inform you OF the
general effects of your Anti.Dys-
peptic spring, in my case. During
the three days trial of the waters,
| am convined of It's diuretic and
diaphOretie qualities, and in one
instance it acted as an Alternative
on my liver, producing free dis
charge OF bilious matter. My
general health has improved, the
symptoms of my disease Neural
gia) have mitigated, my appetite
increased, my pulse has become
more tranquil and regular, and my
sleep more continued and refresh
ing. have also gained strength
and weight, three pounds in three
days. during my short sojourn
with you Yours respectfully.

On the 9Th of August, 1885, L
arrived at the Gray Sulphur
Springs, in a state of much de-
preston, accompanied by fever
and a rapid pulse-bOth arising
from a complication OF disorders
belonging to the throat, the stomach
and bowels. In the afternoon L
drank of the Anti-Dyspeptic
spring, and it's immediate effect
was to produce gentle moisture
of the skin, and TO reduce the pulse
from an hundred beats in q minute
to about eighty. In the evening,
my system generally was relieved.
On going to bed | drank of the
same spring, and on the following
morning felt a continuance of the
same agreeable influence, and an
improved appetite. In the after
noon there was a further reduction
of pulse, and my fever entirely
subsided, but partially returned in
the night, with Iuickness of pulse,
but by no means accelerated as it
was when ] came. IN the course
of the second day, the pulse beat
sirty per minute, but quickened
again. The first twenty.four or
or thirty.six hours experience was
followed by similar effects, the two
following days, one of which L
confined myself to the Aperient
Spring, and perceived no differ
ence. Neither of them had the
effect to move my bowels, but on
the contrary to constipate them
| am much inclined to believe, that
a continuance Of these waters
might have salutary influence
upon my very singular, very trouble
some, and very obstinate case, if |
can Judge of their agreeable effect
upon my skin, my spirits and sys'
TEN generally, in so short u time
as three days. There was II con-
tinued reduction Of the pulse from
an accelerated action, produced at
the--Sulphur Spring, by drink
ing its waters; but it varied, being
considerably quickened in the eve
ming and during the night. The
appetite was much improved and
continued uniform. regret that !
could not remain long enough at
the Grey Sulphur to test its effects
upon my chronic complaints.

Mr.. H--had had frequent hem
orrhages, accompanied with a pain
in the chest-his cough was slight,
but he suffered much from phlegm.
Twenty four hours after being at
the Grey Sulphur, on examining
his pulse, it was found to be about
one hundred. Made use OF the Anti.
Dyspeptic spring, taking about
three tumblers per diem. Three
days after, (about the same hour
of the day, his pulse was again
examined and found to he reduced
to seventy.six beats per minute,
and he felt much better. Having
left home for --Spring, he
thought it his duty to go there
About u month after, he returned.
He had gradually improved in
health, and looked much better,
and was evidently so. His pulse,
however, was much too frequent,
and he could not get it lowered
After leaving the Grey Sulphur, it
had risen up, to from eighty-hve to
ninety, and in the afternoon was
frequently at one hundred. In the
afternoon of the day he arrived,
his pulse was counted, and found
to be one hundred. After remain
ing five days, he again left for the
-SpriIg, his pulse varied,
during his stay at the Grey, from
seventy.fve to ninety, but never
reached SC high as one .hundred.-
His complexion became clearer, his
spirits better, and his cough entire
ly left him. 1t had been gradually
lessening at the---Spring, but
he could not get rid of it altogether,
and was, moreover, very annoying
to him early in the mornings. In
reply to an enquiry, he stated,
afer little reflection, "that he had
