F BROWN'S ESSENCE OF JAMAICA
GINGER?THIS ESSENCE is a preparation
of unusual excellence. In ordinary diarrbcea,
incipient cholera?in short, in all cases of prostration
of tbe digestive functions it is of inestimable
value. During the prevalence of epidemic cholera
and summer complaints of children it is
peculiarly efficacious. No family, individual, or
traveller should be without it, as it enables the sys
tem to resist the influence of incipient disease
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 Fifth
and Cheetnut streets, Philadelphia, and lor sale by
all the reepectable apothecaries in the United

THIS healthy and beautiful Watering Place
will be under the personal superintendence of
the undersigned during the present summer, who
will use every effort in his power to render it one
of the most attractive and agreeable watering
places in Virginia. It is situated on en elevation
or spur of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain, in
the county of Jefferson, five miles south of Charles*
town, the county seat.
Passengers leaving Baltimore or Washington by
the morning train of cars will arrive at Harper's
Perry at half-past eleven a. m., from thence in the
Winchester and Pptomac railroad cars, ten miles
to Cbarlestown, where a twelve-passenger coach
will receive and convey them Into Charlestown,
and, if desired, to the Springs to dinner, over a
good road and through a lovely country.
The-analysis made by the late Dr. De Butts from
one bondred grains of the water from the main
fountain, afforded 63 grains of sulphate of lime,
10 J grains carbonate of lime, 33 J grains of sulphate
of magnesia, (epsom salts,) 1 grain of the muriate
of magnesia, 1 grain muriate of soda, 3-10 grains
sulphate of iron, and 7-10 grains of carbonate of
iron.
From the above analysis the waters of Shannondale
may very properly be classed among the Saline
Chalybeates?a combination of the most valuable
description in the whole range of mineral
waters. It may therefore be positively asserted,
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, tbat
no mineral water witbin the limits of the United
States possesses the same constituent parts, or is a
inorp salutary and efficient purgative, than the
water of Shannondale Springs 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'physicans.
The free use of this water acts almost immediately
upon the skin a^id kidneys, removes worms,
relieves the convalescent from bilious or other
fevers, dyspepsia, dropsical swellings, calculous
affections, hemorrhoids, scrofula, indigestion, rheumatism,
loss of appetite, exhaustion, general debility,
gravelly concretions, strictures, and a
variety of other diseases to which man is subject;
and it is freely acknowledged by all who nave
been afflicted with any of the above diseases that
the free use of the Shannondale waters have effected
permanent cures.
Sulphur, mineral, hot and cold baths furnished
upon application at the bar.
The Hotel is large and commodious, the cottages
numerous and comfortable.
The table will be supplied with the best beef,
mountain and valley mutton, together with all
the luxuries afforded in the fertile valley of Virginia.
