own city of Fort WORTH IN our own state
of Texas there are thousands OF people
who have suffered for years ana are To-
day suffering with diseases which 1t Is
now known positively can be cured III
short time. How many scores OF laoles
there are who are made miserable py

otherwise be a beautiful face. Blotches,
red spots, pimples, tan, etc. on the race
and hands make the female heart SAD.
Then compilations are not always WhAt

men there are who suffer from indiges-
ton, who frequently feel that life is
burden. How many thousands of peo-
nile both men and women whose lives are
a burden because they are constantly
sufferlng with headachs, whose hyers'
kidneys and stomaches are always out OF
order. How many hundreds of little
graves are filled with the bright flowers

COMPLAINT. When it IS Known that
wonderful discovery has been made
- at Sunset in Montague county OF
living water that will cure
all these diseases, there should
certainly be and will be great rejoicing.
That this discovery has been mace can no
longer be doubted, and 1t Is The IA

THE DISCOVERY.
In April, 1890, Mr.. f. C. Thomson,
merchant of Sunset, had well drilled Oh
his place about quarter OF mile from
the depot in Sunset, and only few rods
from the track of the Fort Worth ana
Denver, not quite fifty-nine miles from
Fort Worth. at depth of ninety Gig ut
feet water was reached and the we'll was
soon filled to twenty-five feet. When
the water was tasted by Mr.. Thomason
and Others there was great disappoint-
ment. While the water was clear as
crystal it had d most peculiar taste,
which while not positively Disagree
able was not such as
would be desired for drinking or domes-
tic purposes. Some one suggested thal
the water might have some virtues, ana
many nersons. both well and sick, drank
TO test its qualities. 1t was found Dy
all that a pint of the water acted as
gentle laxative without disturbance
otherwise and without pain. All whc
were sick ut once experienced oenencla
results. 1t had alternative and aperlen
effects, and so remarkable were some o
the cures effected that it was decided u
have the water analysed. A jug OF I'M
water was sent to Professor Everhar
of the university OF Texas who MADE TIT
following report:

DEAR SIR-Tbe water is differout iron

The curative properties of this rar
winter while they are not exactly ike II
great German waters, are undouDteol
like those of Kreuzuach, due to Ih
chloride for their Alternative effects, an
to the magnesium and calcium found
the most soluble forms of chlorides f.
their aperient effects.

immigration of the Denver, Texas an

tou and Colorado springs in Colorado

ouRhIy, had an analysis of the wat
made in Chicago and then being tho
oughly convinced of the wonderful gus
tiles of the water, he advised and q
couraged the organization of compai
