\ HEALTH RESTORING WATER
WaNahaChic Has Mineral Wen That
Is ACccdcd to BE the Best in
TpNas

WaXahachie has a mineral well
whose water is accedod to be the
best in the state. 1t has effected
cures where the water at Marlin,
Wootan Wells and Mineral Wells
failed. Acute attacks of rheumatism
have recently been cured. An Italy
man came here some weeks ago on
two crutches. After drinking and
bathing in the water little more
than one week one crutch was laid
aside, and a week later he was able
to walk without the aid of sticks.
Prominent citizens of Waxah ACHE
who suffered with a kidney disor
der several years have been cured.
Hundreds of people residing in the
city will testify to the waters cura-
tive qualities 1t would be impossi-
Bile to enumerate the persons who
visit the we'll every day. The fame
of the water has gone abroad and
shipments are now being daily made
to many points in Texas.
The water has been analysed by
| Prof A. S. Traps, state chemist at
the Agricultural and Mechanical
College, and in this analysis the diff
ferent sulphates were shown to con
tain the following number OF grafna
per United States gallon:
Carbonate of lime, 1888 grains;
Sulphate of lime, 27.35 grains; Sui
phate of Magnesia, 24.32 grains;
Sulphate of Soda Common salts) !,
1890 grains. Chloride of Soda,
1906 grains.
Local pharmacists who have ex-
amined this analysis say that it
makes a most excellent showing.
The abundance of sulphate of soda
indicates the efficiency of the wa
ter as liver medicine. The sulphates
in this water are more evenly pro-
portioned than the famous crazy
well at Mineral Wells.
This well belongs to the city and
is located at the pumping station. 1t
is $50 feet deep and flows at the
rate of 100000 gallons per day. The
sick and afflicted are invited to give
this water a trial.

Asked directly whether the Trini-

tracks, Mr.. Bronson replied that he
knew OF no such arrangement.
isn't it the intention of the road,

That would be mere matter of
speculation on my part" he replied.
Il can't say what the final intention
may be"
