\ LITTLE PERSONAL TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Rufus H. Brigham, a prominent
shoe manufacturer OF Hudson, Mass,
bears the following personal testimony 10
the solvent properties Of the water
Il suffered severely for four years from
stone in the bladder. After trying many
remedies without finding benefit from
any, l heard OF Buffalo Lithia Water. and
began its use. In a short time. under
the influence Of the water / passed
large number Of stones, the largest about
the size and shape of an almond. About
half Of them / now send you. The largest
ones were retained BY different physicians
here, who say that they are the largest
stones that they ever knew passed. The
test Of this water in my case was a severe
one. and ] confidently recommend IL TO
other sufferers"
JAUNDICE AND LIVER AFFECTIONS.
If the record OF the water in cases of
renal caleui and stone in the bladder Is
remarkable, its effects have been no less
startling in hillary calculi, jaundice. and
liver affections. Or. Stewart Lobinger
stated in the Medical News that "the free
use Of water an hour before or two hours
after meals contributes greatly to the re-
lief OF torpid liver" Further on in
the same article he adds: Perhaps no
medicinal agents act more satisfactorily
in stimulating the liver than the various
saline waters" After placing Buffalo
Lithia Water prominently in the list, he
adds that the chief benefit derived from
the thorough washing out Of the debris,
Of oxidation from the system
Professor W. II. Doughty, Of Augusta
Ca. writes: In hepatic disorders. espe-
cially when attended with jaundlce or
hillary calculi. Buffalo Iithia Water is an
efficient remedy"

Of Diseases Of skin, at Baltimore Unlyer-
sity School of Medicine, bears tho follow
ing testimony: Having used Buualo
Lithia Water in my practice the past five
