Especial to the News and Observer
Seven Springs, n. c., July Beyond
the Neuse lies Seven Springs bubbling
forth from the table land on the banks of
the river, at the foot of a beautiful
range of little mountains that stand
forth like monuments to Him that brought
order out of chaos. The Great Builder,
it would seem, just spoke to the level
lands of the East and there sprung up
hills whose bowels are filled with life
giving waters, the curative properties of
which have long been known, only to be-
| come famous within the past few years
This range of hills about two and one
half miles in length overlooking the
| Neuse heavily timbered with oak and
hickory and birch, with intervening val
| leys is a spot to charm the visitor, pic
turesque indeed. Far less awe inspiring
| scenes have formed the background of
hundreds of gilded pages. Surely here
nature has excelied herself and in these
surroundings and health giving waters
bids mankind seeking rest, recreation,
! take new lease of life. Come
| and feast and drink. Within a
space of ten feet square the seven
| springs the waters of which are
pregnant with virtue. And, strangest of
| all. an analysis shows how generously
| nature has bestowed her gift.

| Here the dyspeptic drinks his fill and
eats to his stomach's content, waxing
strong and fat. Here the sufferer from
| gravel, cystitis, enlarged PROSTATE, dis
| eases of bladder, kidney or liver finds
| speedy, sure relief. The overworked
brain or body of him that is feeble in
body or mind or debilitated and can not
| rest is, by these waters, rejuvenated.
In fact the old life of worry and fret
under the influence of these waters passes
| away and a new life seems to take its
| place. People given up by physicians as
| incurable with diabetes have come here
and in a very few days have known the
sugar to disappear and have taken a new
hold on life.
A FEW STRONG TESTIMONIALS.
Take for instance the case of
Major w. H. Smith, of Goldsboro,
president of the Wayne Agricultural
| Works, and a member of the large hard
| ware establishment of Smith & Yelverton.

| springs in Virginia, North and South
| Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida,
| seeking relief from indigestion and kid
| ney trouble, informed by a physician he
| could live but two or three months. he
| returned home and was brought here. In
| a testimonial he says: I'm a very short
| time began improving and in less than
| ten days sugar had nearly all disap-
| peared, and now for the last three months
| there has been but very little sugar under
| this testimonial Mr. Smith has stated
! to your correspondent that he owes his
| life to the waters of these wonderful
| springs. DR.. Henry w. Battle, pastor
| First Baptist church, Petersburg Va,
says: II very cordially commend Seven
| Springs, Wayne county, n. c., to tho.s
in search of relief from disease or re-
cuperation after fatigue of body or mind
| found the water a fine aid to digestion,
and a gentle sophoric. The scenery Ca
| sudden hint Of Western ruggedness in the
midst of Easter monotony) is a surprise
and delight. l don't think the visitor
| to Seven Springs will be disappointed" ("
| DR.. W. NJ. Park says: "It affords me
! great pleasure to state that l prescribed
| the mineral water of Seven Springs in
my practice for twenty years, during
which time it has aided me in giving re-
lief to large class of patients that
