to the columns o. the New York Medi-
cal Journal OF the ODD instant an inter-
estinS and instructive article on The
Properties OF Buffalo I.ithia Water"
The peculiar efficacy of the waters OF
this celebrated Virginia resort are set
forth by the writer with direct and
convincing Illustrations. He cites
number of cases that have come under
his personal observation. where the
most satisfactory results have been
achieved by the action of these waters.
Instances are given where the most re-
markable cures have been made III ag-
gravated cases of acute inilammatorY
rheumatism, sub-acute and muscular
rheumatism, govt and sub-acute govt.

PECULIAR VIRTUES OF RtIFFALO
WATER.
The peculiar virtues Of the Buffalo
Lithia Water appear To be owing to the
mixture of salts which they contain.
and, as regards Spring No. .. to the
proportionatcly large quantity Of the
nicarbonate of potassium.
