F BROWN'S ESSENCE OF JAMAICA
. GINGER. ? THIS ESSENCE is a preparation
of unusual excellence. In ordinary diarrhcea,
incipient chojjpra?in abort, in all cases of prostration
of the digestive functions it is of inestimable
value. During the prevalence of epidemic cholera
and eummer complaints of children it is
peculiarly efficacious. No family, individual, or
traveller should be without it, as it enables the eye
tern to resist the influence of incipient disease l
which lurk in a changing climate.
Caution-?Be sure to get the genuine essence,
which is prepared only by F. BROWN, at his
Drug and Chemical Store, N. E. corner of Ftfth
and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, and for sale by
all the reepectable apothecaries in the United
States.

H A M1VON D A LIB SPRINGS.
THIS healthy and beautiful Watering Plaoe
will be under the pereonal superintendence of
the undersigned during the present summer, who
will use every effort in bis power to render it one
of tbe meet attractive ana agreeable watering
places in Virginia, It is situated on an elevation
or spur of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain, in
the county of Jeflerson, fi ve miles south of Charles*
town, the county seat.
Passengers leaving Baltimore or Washington by
the morning train of oars will arrive at Harper's
Ferry at half-past eloven a. m., from thenoe in the
Winchester and Potomac railroad cars, ten miles
to Cbarlestown, where a twelve-passenger coach
will receive and convey them into Cbarlestown,
and, if desired, to tbe Springs to dinner, over a
good road and through a lovely country.
The analysis made by tbe late Or. De Butts from
one hundred grains of the water from the main
fountain .afforded 63 grains of sulphate of lime,
10 J grains Carbonate or lime, 33 J grains of sulphate
of magnesia, (epaom salts,) 1 grain of tbe muriate
of magnesia, 1 grain muriate of soda, 8-10 grains
sulphate of iron, and 7-10 grains of carbonate of
iron.
From the above analysis the wsters ot Shannondale
may very properly be classed among tbe Saline
Cbalybeales? a combination of the most valuable
description in the whole range of mineral
waters, ft.may therefore be positively asserted,
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, that
no mineral water within th? limits of TTniurf
States, possesses the same constituent parts, or is a
more salutary and efficient purgativfe, than the
water of Shannondale Springe This water acts
as gently as the mildest aperient, without giving
rise to those unpleasant sensations of pain and debility
so often occasioned by ordinary cathartics,
prepared by the most skilful pbysicans.
The free use of this water acts almost immediately
upon the skin and kidneys, removes worms,
relieves the convalescent from bilious or other
fevers, dyspepsia, dropsical swellings, calculous
affections, hemorrhoids,scrofula, indigestion, rheumatism,
lobs of appetite, exhaustion, general debility,
gravelly codcretions, strictures, and a
rariety of other diseases to which man is subject;
and it is freely acknowledged by all who have
been afflicted with any of the above diseases that
ihe free use ef the Shannondale waters have effectad
permanent cures.
Sulphur, mineral, hot and cold baths furnished
upon application at the bar.
The Hotel ip large and commodiouB,the cottages

The table will be supplied with the best beef,

Ibe luxuries afforded in the fertile valley of Virginia.
The best wines, brandies, and other liquors can
always be had at the table or at the bar.
