Buffalo Lithia Springs. Va. July T.
tStaff Correspondence Much has been
written about Buffalo Iithia Springs and
Buffalo Lithia Water. but there is much
more that can be written and said about
them.
So long as Buffalo Lithia Springs re-
mains the favorite summer gathering
place for hundreds of the best people III
the country which will perhaps be at
least another hundred years, and so long
as Buffalo Lithia Water goes out into
every nook and corner Of the country on
its great mission of healing. just so long
will people write about them and talk
about them.
Fluent pens have over and over again
described these picturesque Buffalo
hills and these surrounding forests
clothed in summers richest and rarest
waving and blossoming wildwood.
They have pictured the grassy lawns,
the shaded and graded walkways and
driveways the long rows of neat. com
Portable and well kept cottages the sum-
mer haunts. pavillions. the delightful
dells and hooks the beautiful and charm
ing environments and the salubrious sum-
mer winds for which the place is noted.
Still other pens. in almost countless
numbers not always fluent, perhaps, and
not always intensely entertaining, but
never lacking in appreciation and graft
tude have chanted the praises of the fa
nous Buffalo Lithia waters. In many
tongues their praises have been sung, UNI
til to-day there is perhaps no natural
mineral water that flows from any
place on earth that is as popular from
one end Of the country to the other as
this justly famous Buffalo Lithia.
1t bubbles up ia Il steady stream from
these natural fountains and as fast as it
flows, it is bottled. labelled and shipped
into almost every city, town and village
in the country, much of it crossing the
broad waters and going to the relief of
the suffering in other lands.
And there is a force behind all of this
other than the natural force that causes
these mineral hills to gush forth their
limpid elixir Of. health, power other
than that submarine something, that

these things are co-equal in age, to the

There is an individual force behind it's
present comprehensive development with
out which it would have flowed on for
ever to waste.
This individual force is found in the

who has placed Buffalo Lithia Water in
the front ranks Of all the natural min
eral waters of the world. He knew Of
the efficacy of the water. He has
watched the wonderful cures it has eff
fectcd for nearly half Il century: he has
noted its beneficial effects in the most
obstinate cases, and therefore his own
confidence in it's merit was thoroughly
established He bought the springs
some thirty years ago. Then there was
but one spring and this is now known as
No. 1. He discovered and developed two
others known now rs No. and No. 3.
with full confidence in their efficacy and
knowing that there was relief here for
diseases that baffled the best medical
skill, he began in a quiet but systematic
manner calling the attention of the medi-
cal profession and the public to these
lithia waters. Gradually he increased his
efforts, and gradually the demand for the
water increased, until to-day the de-
mand is sufficient to take about all the
flow from spring No. 2 and considerable
quantities from spring No. 1.
Spring Number l is the Oldest of the
group, and with many its waters are the
most popular. This spring is indeed one
of the Oldest in the land. 1t has been
discovered nearly or quite hundred
years, and has, during all
these wears, been regarded as
n great health-giver and health
restorer. The water from Spring No
/ is likewise very popular with the medi-
cal profession. and highly recommended
by the most eminent members of that
profession. AS nerve and blood tonic
II is very highly endorsed by specialists
and general practitioners throughout the
country.
Spring No. possesses greater potency

consequently. its restorative action is
more decided in anaemic and enfeebled
conditions. Both of these waters have
shown remarkable solvent power over

there is some difference of opinion in the
profession as to their relative value in
such cases.
