Macbeth Mineral Water.

The Macbeth mineral water comes
from an artesian well, 1888 feet deep.
located near East Las Vegas. The well
is owned by Mr.. Peter Roth, a citizen of
Las Vegas who for many years has been
identified with the town in business
way, having conducted since 1882, the
time of his location at Las Vegas, a
wholesale and retail meat establishment,
one of the largest markets in San Miguel
county. Those who are in position to
know assert that Mr. Roth has half a
dozen fortunes in the wonderful we'll
that he discovered, giving forth an
abundant supply Of water, the curative
properties of which need only to be
known to be taken as positive cure for
certain diseases of which we shall speak
later on.
This medicated water is found at a
depth of 333 feet at the bottom of the
,Jurassc formation and just above the
Triassic formation. The salts found in
this water were formed, it is claimed, by
sea weed growing on the border of this
ancient Jurassic sea, and teaching
through the decomposed marine plants
for hundreds of years extracting there
from natural mineral, an analysis of
which shows it to be pure sodium or
tri-sodium compounded Of the salts from
Algea and Fucus Marina. namely: in pro-
portion of sodium chloride, 35 grains;
sodium carbonate, grains; sodium
sulphate, grain. This gives 40 grains
to each quart of the water, which is
absolutely free from all other alkalies,
such as lime and magnesia. The water
aids and promotes digestion, stimulates
the appetite and the secretions, is anti.
acid, an elimenant, diuretic, and a
mild laxative. 1t is positive cure for
malaria, billiousness, dyspepsia, consti-
patton and diarrohea. 1t reduces adipose
tissue, and is an excellent remedy for
summer complaint among children. 1t
will cure alcoholism in months time
and acts as general tonic for the whole
system. Wherever the water has been
used it has proved great success, and
there are hundreds who have been bene-
fitted or cured by it who will willingly
attest to it's curative properties.
