BUFFALO LITiIIA SPRINGS.
Some Early History OF this Grent
Fountain OF Health.

BUFFALO LITHIA SPRINGS, July 80, 1855
To the Editor Of the Dispatch;
About one hundred and twenty years ago
Mr.. Blanks, who lived in The neighbothood,
W., seized with a terrifying skin malldy.
After irving many remedies and finding rs
many failures, be fortui'Ou-ly drank Of the
Buffalo water. Soon sitter or about this time
Mrs. Moore used 10 send TO get the mud
for the purpose OF binding 10 her swollen
ankles, which proved a cure IN her case, and
sfferWard she never ceased 70 recommend
thismudto herneigtbors for all such troubles.
Since that time evidences bave increased shat
these waters for most diseases are The best
known TO the civilized world. TestimO-
niAls. both written srd unWhtten, would fill
volumes. Among those doctors who have
written certificates 10 The public may he
mentioned Drs. Alfred J.. LOOMS. W. a.
Hammond, and J. Marion Sims. OF New
York: DIR. G.. Hslsiead Boyland, oil Baltl-
more: Or. Hunter Mcclure, .of Richmond,
and hundreds OF other prominent men.
Traditional history concerning this place
zoe. back three hundred years. In history
concerning the dividing line between Viz
ginia and North Carolina Colonel william
BOYD i'm 1870 was ordered IN run THIS noe.
Colonel BOYD was an EuRlishman. and this
order came from the British Government.
Colonel Boyd says he vas told that right
where No. spring is now there tradition
hiss il was a buffalo hex. and says he himself
saw in this section quite a number oil bulia'
loes. In fact, this whole section now seems
TO be bunaloes. In close proximity TO The
Springs we find Buffalo precinct, Buffalo
church, Buffalo creek. Buffalo Springs, &c.,
and the people OF the ueghborhood with
buffalo ideas that the water wall cure ali their
uIs pesnectf,IlIy. &c, j. 4. IL.

That may be "the general belief" in

cause she had known GREELEY. his oppo'
