1884. His health had been feeble
for some time, though in appear
ance he looked but little like an
invalid. On the morning of the
second day after his arrival at the
Grey Sulphur, he had, whilst stand
ing at the spring house, a con-
siderable hemOrrhage-a half pint
of blood, at least, was spit up IN a
very short time. A little common
salt was administered, which had
the effect of stopping it. 1t being
deemed improper for him to move

down on one of the benches. About

his pulse was felt for the first time.

was persuaded to take some OF the
water of the Antl-Dy speptic
Springs, which he was 10th at first
to do, least a recurrence Of the
hemorrhage should take place. He
took about a half pint OF water, in
small quantities at a time, with
intervals of from fifteen to twenty
minutes between each. In about
an hour from the drinking of the
first portion Of the water the pulse
was reduced to ninety.eight beats
per minute. Soon after, he was
assisted up to his room and put to
bed. His pulse was not again ex-
amined until about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, (the hemorThage had oc-

eighty.six. In the course of the
day, he had taken about a pint of
water, in quantities Of about a
half tumbler at a time. The next
morning his pulse was again ex-
amined, and found to have fallen
to eight-iour beats per minute. In
the course of the day, he left his
bed and came down stairs, and the
day following, he left the Grey for
the Red Sulphur, to obtain medical
advice. His pulse was not exam

Dir. NJ, of South Carolina, had
been long a dyspetic, and had suf-
fered, for many years, from Chronic
DidrrhOea. Early in the season of
1884, he visited the Saratoga Springs
the water proved injurious to him.
From thence he visited the White
Sulphur, Salt Sulphur and Red
Sulphur Springs, without expe-
riencing material benefit. When he
arrived at the Grey Sulphur Springs
he was exceedingly feeble and had
to be assisted about, and for sew

ber, except at meal times. His
passages were very frequent, from
eight to ten during the night, and
about the same number during the
day. He had entirely lost the pow.
er OF secrerng urine, anu all nqulds
which he drank passed through his
bowels mixeI up with undigested
food. His passages were thin and
of whitish clay color, apparently
made up of water and undigested
food, the latter so little changed as
to be easily recognized. In three
days, his passages were reduced
from two to three each night, and
about the same number during the
day, the consistency and color also
changed. In weeks time, this
change was still greater. The num-
Der of passages were about the
same, but they became Ofa bright yel-
low color, and similar to a child's in
consistency. Hemoreover secreted
urine freely, and on one occasion
he informed us, that he had passed
large quantity of "pure bile."--
His bowels remained nearly in this
state, during the time he remained
at the spring, (about a fortnight }
but he improved greatly in bodily
health, walked out, was cheerful,
and in every respect appeared bet

stage hurried him off earlier than
he wished. He left the Grey Sui.
phur with the belief that he had
derived considerable benefit from
the use of the waters. 1t is proper
to remark, that his appetite was
enormous, and that he did not re-
strict himself in his diet.
NoTE.-There were several other
cases of Diarrhga at the Grey Sui
phur, in 1884; all were materially
benefited by the use of the Anti.
Dyspeptic Spring.
