OUTING No. IS

That the water of the Sodaville min.
eral springs possesses medicinal qualities
that effect cures or relieve some OF the
ailments OF the human body is beyond n
doubt. Experience and the testimony
of many witnesses confirm the truth oi
this assertion. When man whose iii
gestiye apparatus Is a source OF no little
trouble to him at honre, can eat ANYTHING
and plenty of 1t at Sodaville and not
know that he has stomach, he mas good
reason to believe that the mineral water
is beneficial to him. And when he feels
that he is gaining strength, and the
scales aesf saiim that he is increasing
IN weight, be is sure that S0davlie is a
good place for him to take an outing, al
though the mineral water Is not so
strong as that at Waterloo. A change
OF diet, new associations, and do noth-
ing life, doubtless, have their influence
in restoring health and strength, but the
proper use of the mineral wa'er is nn-
donbtedly the chief source of benefit. A
confirmation of this is TIE testimony of
many campers and boarders No longer
ago than yesterday, gentleman from
Portland told me that he had tried. rev.
eral mineral springs and spent much
money on doctors and found no relief
but found it soon after coming 10 Sofia
vile. Seven different persons from En-
gene have told me that they have been
benefited hy the mineral water here.
and one OF them has sent for his family
TO become q sharer in the benefit. 4
number OF persons from independence
are firm believers in tie curative quail.
ties OF Sodav,lle minscal water. And so
are many others who have given IL a
fair test
TIE water, however. is not lie the
numerous patent medicines of which We
read IN newspaper advertisements, a cure
for all the ailments OF the human family.
There are diseases which il does not
cure, for example, those Of the throat
and lungs. Some think il is better for
those who have lung trouble not 10 touch
1t. Those having rheumatism, stomach
and kidney troubles are the ones spec
tally benefited.
But in order 10 derive advantage from
the use OF the water. il is necessary TO
give IL lair test. This is especially .he
case where the disease ie of lcng stand
ing. stay OF few days will not ac-
eompitsh the desired effect. II any one
does as the young man from Eugene
did, he cannot expect to be benefited.
