MIR. j. Il. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-I have
been q sufferer for some time from
an affection of the kidneys. / tried
a number of remedies without any
relief. Some times the pain in my
back was SO severe that l had to
have help to get up when sitting
down. Some Of my friends asked
me to try your mineral water, 1
did so, and the result was most
gratifying. I felt relief after the
first day. After using IL a week I
was entirely well, 1t has been some
six weeks since L first used it, and
my general health is greatly i'm
proved. Too much cannot be said
In its praise. 1t Is undoubtedly the
best water that I know of,
Yours Respectfully.

WATERLOO, S. Q. Apr. 10, '91
MR.. J.!T. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-My en-
time to call the attention of medi-
cal profession to the cases that
might be collected from the mass
that have accumulated during
the thirty-eight (38) years of
constant use of the waters of ,.our
Lfthia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
colorless, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken in
a considerable quantity they do
not ~nauseate, purge or produce
any feeling of discomfort. 1 find
from an analysis of the waters they
contain cloride sodium, carbonate
potash, carbonate soda, carbonate
lithia, carbonate iron and sulphatc
magnesia. The waters act directly
upon the mucous coates of the
stomach and alimentary canals
they are powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
infiamed or irritated surfaces.
They react upon the blood, chang
ingm 1t from acid to alkaline.
In indigestion, catarrh of stom-
ach and gastralgia, supplemented
with a proper diet they are q GER
tain cure. The action upon the
kidneys is marked. The sodium,
potash, soda and lithia are the best
solvents OF uric acid, all calculi of
an acid character, whether bilcary
or ciptic are steadily dissolved, L
am confident that the profession
will find 1t very useful in cases
where this class Of water is re-
CURED. Respectfully,

MIR. j. II. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR!-For seve-
raj years my wife has suffered from
erysipelas, every two weeks she
was confined to her bed and tried
many remedies, but nothing pre-
vented the eruption. She was dis
couraged and finally stopped all
medicines and began drinking your
I,ithia Water. In two weeks the
disease was milder than 1t had
been for years. She continued to
use and since that time she has
not been troubled at all.

Wade Hampton.

The gathering of the veterans of
the Lost Cause in Augusta last
week was a splendid compliment
to the old hero in whose honor they
assembled. Throughout the South,
no living man is admired, loved,
and honored like Hampton and
throughout the Union no type of
manhood, honest, high and unbend-
ing, is more respected than that
which he SO grandly exempliies.
Augusta has much Of the energy
to make the New South great with
little of the fawning to make it con-
temptible. Old soldiers could have
met in no fitting place to
honor the noblest survivor of the
Confederacy.
