IN the surrounding boarding places sac
visitors There are some who come here
almos, every year, but it has been surprise
s TO :ne to End so many who are here from
various parts of this State for the drst time
Pleasure seekers may 60 where they choose,
; but those who are sick and suffering with
troubles of the stomach, liver aod kidneys,
escan End such prompt and certain relief from
no other water, go far as the writer knows,
as has been experienced and testified to By
hnndgeds who, from helpless inyalids, have
been made healthy men aud women by the
nae of Glenn Spriegs water.
Those who come here thinking they are
veil and hearty, are surprised at the change
ia their compilations and other indications
b of improved heolth after drinking the water
week OF two.
Aside from the benefit to be derived from
the water, there are attractions TO the ordi-
nary pleasure seeker. The hotel has been
enlarged and greatly improved in the last
few FEARS, and is we'll kept; the spacious
pariors, halls and piszzas are cool aud en-
joyable at all hours of the day; there are
various parlor games for the amusement Of
guests; pleasant room 10 the basement with
billiard and pool tables; ten pin ally reer
the spring; and an excellent band that
furnishes nusic duriag meals aad every
night for those who enjoy dancing Once
week, and sometimes ofteoer, there is
german, which is attended by visitors from
Spartauburg aud other places conveniently
scar. On the nights of the german the
Glenn Springs railroad runs special train
for visitors TO cone, and return after the
german is over. There is also livery stable
here with teams, and the country around
shords good drives in several directions
While Glenn Springs water performs WON
derfal cures in cases Of stamsch, bowel and
kidney affections, tits not a cure-all, and
Furthermore is positive injury to those af
ficted with Scrofulous and luog troubles,
and the Messrs Simpson try to prevent all
snch from comisg here or using the water.
" here the system is weakened from the was:-
isg effects of the last named diseases, it can
not stand the depletiog effect of the water
by which the impurities that cause diseases
arg eliminated from the other organs of the
body.
Ordinary infamed and sore eyes can be
cured By bathing with Glenn Springs water,
ard laying on eyes cloth wet with the
water This know from experience. II
isalso said to cure sores and skin eruptions
when used extesnally as we'll as internally.
People who ccre here have mistaken ideas
as to the quantity of water to be drank.
hare seen some who try how much they con-
sume in day. There is one man here now
who one day drank four and half gallons.
The result was tbst he developed g rapid and
violent eflec: similar to cholera mcrbus, and
looked somewhat pale for a day or two. He
is now looking quite we'll and has fine
; color, bnt drisks much less. Physicians here
vita whom have conversed say that
The best effects are obtained by the systematic
drisking of the water in moderate quantities
somewhat in excess of the quantity usually
draak Of other water-say twice or three times
al nost. The great advantage of this water
is that it retains its virtue and eau be shipped
away and drank by persons st home with the
same effect. It must, however, be drank
regularly and for a sufficient length of time
TO get the best results, and should be taken
oo az empty s,omach-tbst is while before
meals and at night.
