M0NTEYERDE'S CHILD WAS
 NEAR DEATHS DOOR
Was Restored to Good Health by the Use of the Noted Baby
 Spring" Water.
Raleigh Springs Water Co.,,
 Memphis. Tam

Raleigh Springs Water Co.,. Memphis, Tenn.
 Gentlemen-In the summer of 1907 our little child was suffering to such an extent with stomach and bowel trouble, caused from teething, that we had little hope of its recovery and as a last resort our family physician advised us to go to Raleigh and try the "Baby-Spring Water, which he said was very valuable in such cases. We, of course, were will ing to try anything, but feared that on account of the emaciated condition of the baby that 1t would be impossible for us to ever reach the springs. no matter how comfortable we made the trip for the baby. We finally concluded to go, how ever. as it was our only hope
 We placed our baby on pillow and visited the springs, my wife carrying 1t all the way In her lap. We were afraid to carry 1t any other way for fear the least jostle would cause it's death.
 l was detained in town on very im- portant business for a day or two after We took the baby to the springs and about the third day saw it again, but each day after its arrival there my wife kept me posted as to It's progress, and it began to improve immediately on its arrival there, consequently on the third day when l saw 1t again, l was astounded to see the great improvement and in three short weeks from the time we took 1t there, our baby was restored to good health and was playing around with the other chil- dren, and l am glad to say that the child is today In perfect health
 From the almost marvellous results in this case. you will pardon me for being enthusiastic in my indorsement of this water.
 I hear that the water is going to be placed on the market this summer. so that 1t will be in easy reach of everyone. By doing this, believe you will save the lives of thousands of children who suffer as our baby did.
 Wishing you every success in reach ing the publis, am. yours very respect fully, P. A. MONTEVERDE
