Harris, rediscovered these springs
that had been most favorably known
f>r many years before 1860, and pur

analysis proved them to have such
excellent curative properties. A
large hotel in a beautiful situation,
fitted with electric lights and water
works will accommodate more than
one hundred guests. Waterloo and
Cross Hill are the two stations on
railroads about two and a half miles
distant. The analysis of the water
shows it to be superior to any Lithia

put up for use as ginger ale and car
donated in which latter form it is
furnished free to guests. 1t is ship

all of which is on some days shipped.
Such is the demand for the water
that the net income from sales is

all cities and recommended highly by
physicians. 1t cures dyspepsia, con-
