524 Years Ago.

History tells usAhat in 1870 the
famous Springs at Carlsbad, in Be-
hernia, were discovered by the EN-
peror Charles IV,nduring a hunting
expedition. A static in memory of
that monarch stands in the market
place. 1t was erected by a grateful
populace, and was, we'll deserved.
The rare waters Of Carlsbad have &C
complished more for the afflicted than
anything else on the'face of the earth.
Far beyond memory of man, Carls-
bad has been the most fashionable
watering place of Europe, as it is to-
day. The inestimable benefit OF its
waters may now be enjoyed at home.
The Carlsbad Sprudel Salt comes
direct from the Spring-obtained by
evaporation-and can be had at all
drug stores. 1t restores the proper
functions of stomach, bowels, kid
neys and liver, curing dyspepsia, con-
stipation, biliousness and kindred
complaints. The genuine Salt bears
the seal of the city of Carlsbad, and
the signature, "EISNER & MEN
DELSON CO., Sole Agents, New
York" on every bottle.
