until October LIST. These springs arc
located in Mecklenburg county, occupying
a central position IN the section OF coun
try known as the Buffalo HIS. which Is
broken and rolling, about eight miles
square and at an altitude Of 800 feet
above the level Of the sea.
Nowhere In Virginia is the general
health better than II is here. and the
longevity OF the residents testihes 10 the
saubrity Of the climate.
The buildings at the springs are upon
the cottage plan. and sufficient for the
comfortable accommodation OF 25O per-
sons. From the present outlook this
season will be the most successful In the
history OF the famous old resort. The
shipments OF water during the past three
months have been infinitely larger than
the shipments OF any three consecutive
months in the history OF the springs.
Buffalo Liihia Springs mas been known
as a resort for invalids for something
over hundred years, and its reputation
has been built up by a most marvellous
record Of accomplished facts.
Colonel Archer, for 50 many years con-
nseted with. the Exchange and Ballard
hotel, in Richmond is managing the re-
sort for Colonel Thomas +. Goode, the
proprietor. and the springs is not only
one Of the most delightful spots in the
country 20 visit, but il is one OF the
best managed and most comfortable sum-
mer resorts.
A LUXURIOUS BATHING ESTAB-
LISHMENT.
Among the attractions Of the place 10
the invalid is a bathing establishment
affording every facility for bathing in
the mineral waters at any desired tenn
perature. No more remarkable results
have been accomplished by any remedial
agency anywhere than by the cOnjoint
use Of the hot baths and the internal use
OF this water in govt rheumatic govt
rheumatism, and some cases of paralysis.
The celebrated Buffalo Lithia Waters
are obtained from one of two free-howing
springs situated a short distance from
each other, and designated, respectively,
Spring No. / and Spring No. . y third
spring is near by. known as Spring No. 3,
but this is a chalybeate or alum IRON
water, and possesses the distinction
among ferruginOus waters generally of
being a purgative. Ii is difficult TO lay
down any definite rules for the relative
value of the water or the first two
springs, when both are so good. In
govt, rheumatic govt. rheumatism, and
diseases generally of uric acid diathesis,
the two springs have common adapta-
ton. and equal value.
Nearly allied TO govt, but much less

mia. It's name indicates uric acid in
the blood. The symptoms which attend
II are chyonic and not acute. 1t is not
so powerful a demon as the govt, but
Is ever active. and is the author Of a
variety Of distressing and obscure SYM
IONS. that affect the body and the syE-
pathizing mind. 1t is due TO chror.+
functional disturbances Of the organs OF
ihe portal circulation. This is a trouble
shat belongs 10 the overworked and over
anxious. OF whom there are many IN the
present neTve-taxed state OF civilization.
Some very astonishing results have been
witnessed as a result of the use of the
waters of both Spring Ne. ! and Spring
No. 2.
The waters. and more particularly those
OF Spring No. l. possess in a very emf
nent degree nerve tonic properties. giving
10 each very marked restorative power in
nervous dyspepsia neurasthenia. and
broken down conditions generally of the
nervous system.
In neuralgia it has proved highly bene-
fetal, and has afforded great relief in
angina pectoris. a disease closely allied
10, il 1t be not true neuralgia.
ALCOHOL AND OPIUM HABIT.
Statistics prove that it is the indoor
workman who is oftenest the victim of
the alcohol habit
Deprived of fresh air. sunshine. and in
many cases physical exercise also. the
entire organism suffers TO a greater or less
degree and nature Graves some remedy
10 restore the lost vital forces. Alcohol
brings the desired effect temporarily, but
day after day larger quantities are re-
quired 10 accomplish the result, and be-
fore the victim is aware OF the danger the
habit is formed.
The peculiar nerve tonic properties Of
the Buffalo Lithia Waters, both of Springs
No. ana No. ., but more particularly of
No. J. meet the requirements of these
people for tonic and stimulant, and
thus relieve the thirst for alcoholic
drinks The peculiar nerve tonic power
OF Spring No. l has been noted. and at
tention called TO IL by DR.. Hunter Nc
CURE. Or. w. A. Hammond. DR.. James L.
Cabell, Or. Halstead Boyiand, DR.. Har-
vey L. Bryd, DR. T.. c. Laird. and other
eminent physicians.
In confirmation of the above views, II
is constantly remarked by visitors at the
springs, who are in the habit OF using
wines and liquors. that they have mo
desire for them while under the influence
of these waters"
DR.. Laird. who was for some years
resident physician at the springs. says:
81 have known many cases where appa-
rently hopeless victims of the opium habit
were enabled under the pratractCd use of
the waters OF Spring No. l to abandon
entirely The use OF the drug.
DIR. q. Halstead Boyland, of the faculty
of Paris and University of Leipzig, Tor
merly professor in the Baltimore Medical
College, says: 81 have frequently observed
the curative effects of Buffalo Lithia
Springs Nos. and i'm the treatment Of
dipsomania, morphinomania. and nieo-
tinism These waters alleviate the gas
tritis upon which the craving for alcohol
opium, and tobacco depends anay the
cerebral hyperoemia, and nervous cXcita-
bility, overcoming at the same time the
hepatic and renal engagements and con-
stipation. In addition TO their antidotal
and tonic properties, they exert q regula-
tory influence upon the heart i'm the ir-
regularity OF action and palpitation so
commonly found In these cases This is
especially noticeable In that form OF car
diac neurosis known as tobacco heart"
CURES DYSPEPSIA AND NERVOUS
INDIGESTION.
Many distinguished physicians have eX-
pressed preference for the lwater OF
Spring No. 1. and n great mass of testi-
mony has been accumulated. which es-
tablishes It's efficacy as a nerve tonic.
and IN cases OF malaria, dyspepsia, and
diseases OF women.
