MR.. j. Il. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-I have
been q sufferer for some time from
an affection of the kidneys. l tried
q 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, I
did SO, and the result was most
gratifying. 1 felt relief after the
first day. After using il a week 1
was entirely well. 1t has been some
six weeks since 1 first used it, and
my general health is greatly inn
proved. Too much cannot be said
in its praise. Its undoubtedly the
best water that l know of,
Yours Respectfully.

DEAR SIR:-For seVe-

erysipelas, every two weeks she
was confined to her bed and tried
many remedies, but nothing pre-
vented,the eruption. She was dis

disease was milder than it had
been for years. She continued to

WATERLOO, s. O. Apr. 10, '91
MR.. j. 7. HARRIS,
DEAR SIR:-My en-
gagements are such that / have not
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 (3S) years of
constant 8 of the waters of your
Lithia Spring. The waters of
the Lithia Spring are odorless and
colorIess, free from salinary taste,
rather palatable. When taken in
q 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 r. powerfully Alternative
and tonic. They are soothing to
infamed or irritated surfaces.
They react upon the blood, chang
ingm it from acid to alkaline.
In Indigestion. catarrh of stom-
ach and gastralgia, supplemented
with a proper diet they are a 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 bileary
or ciptic are steadily dissolved. I
Inn confident that the profession
will find it very useful in cases
where this class of water is re-
CURED. Respectfully,

thirty miles and quicker by one
solid hour than any other. We
can imagine no earthly reason why

miles between the terminal cities
could not be covered In four hours.
