BUFFALO LrrHrA SpBISes, Va. August g.
This noted watering place is now literally
patronized. The number OF visitors -
about $50. coming from over twenty-five
states. Buffalo Of the present day would
NOT be racoonized by visitors of Eve or six
years ago. Old buildings have been re-
moved and new and imposing ones now
greet the eye. The grounds are tsrracsd'
well drained. and an abundance OF shade
trees spread their branches over ine Cream
and attractive lawn. Instead OF the stages
of former times a railroad brings passen-
gers TO the place.
The location OF the springs Is elevated
and the surrounding country broken ana
undulating. Nature seems TO have de-
signed II az retreat for afflicted humanity.
Malaria is here unknown. A case OF chliis
and fever originating here would be q
veritable curiosity.
The buildings ore on the cottaRe-pian
and are sufficient for the comfortable ac-
oommodation of $50 or 900 people. fhore
is a bathing establishment afording every
desired facility for bathing in the mineral
waters OF any desired temperature.
No more remarkable results have been
ACCOMPLISHED by any remedial agency
anywhere than by tho conloInt use or the
hot baths and the internal use OF this wa
ter. Men are here to-day who arrived
supported by crutches and canes and
sometimes had 10 be lifted to their rooms,
who have thrown away their supports and
now joyfully clnim their health and ply
steal viqor are fully restored. This Is the
fountain of health, from which flows the
certain cure for ell the ills of suffering
humanity.
NO DESIRE WHATEVER.
The peculiar nerve-tonio properties OF
these waters meet the requirements OF
people for tonic and stimulant, and re-
lieves the thirst and craving for alcoholic
drinks. These potential properties IN
this respect equal the = gold cure"
In confirmation of these views 1t Is con-
stantly remarked by visitors at the springs
who are in the habit of using wines and
liquors. that they have no desire what
ever for them while under the influence OF
the water"
The dining-hall is large and airy and the
attendance prompt and the menu 80 varied
and we'll prepared that the most fastidious
tastes are gratitied.
There are now more pretty and attrnc-
tive girls here and more stylish matrops
than have been seen here at any timo for
many years. Their appearance In the
spacious ballroom, elegantly ettired and
glittering with jewels. makes ascehe upoa
which the eyes OF young and Old rest With
pleasure and admiration.
Colonel Thomas +. Goode. the proprie-
tor, extends every courtesy to visitors and
to the afflicted he is sympathetic and "a
the needy generous. HIS assistants are
numerous and know their business.
Messrs. Wilkie Wagstaf. Sydney Johnson,
and Carter Wootton are most efficient and
courteous clerks In the office.
The aaleq of this water ara lnlrne nsn. both
springs scarcely afording enough for use
and shipment. OF the lithia spring all is
sold and none escapes except on Sundays,
when work stops.
