THRESH MINERAL WATERS.—We take
r pleasure in informing the public generally that
wc have received,and will keep constantly up during
the season, a full supply of " WHITE SULPHUR
WATER,” from the celebrated Spring in Green*
brier County, Va.
This water, which has been for several years
transported from the White Sqlphur Springs, in
Greenbrier County, in this State, enjoys great repu
tation throughout the United States, and is now
very generally used, and its virtues extolled as a
remedial agent in bilious diteases incident to a
warm climate, dyspepsia, costiveness, jaundice,
chronic rheumatism, gout, dropsy, in affections of
the breast occasioned by disease of the stomach or
liver, neuralgia, and nervous diseases in general ;
chronic inflamation of (he kidneys and bladder,
anti urcthia ; piles, scrofula and crup'ions. or other
affections of the skin; ill-conditioned ulcers, mer
curial diseases, be. be., all of which is attested by
the highest names in the medical profession, and
many others who have for years used this water,
both at and when removed from the fountain.
SA RATOG \ WATER, from the Congress, Union,
Pavillion and Iodine Springs in New York, in quart
anti pint. Irottles.
CHALYBEATE MINERAL WATER, an active
anti lasting Tonic, A general view of (he analysis
of this water, will show that it stands the first in
rank of the highly concentrated “ Chalybeates,”—
consequently it acts as a Tonic, increasing the
strength of the system, raising the force of circu
la (ton, giving tone to tho degistive organs, aug
menting the muscular vigour, and promoting the
excretions ; it is of course advantageously employed
m those diseases in which Iron is principally lined,
suchi as Amenorrhea, Chtoro*i», some states of Me
norrhagta, f-nirorrhea, Dyepepeia, Scrofula and ca
non* form* of ( hronir. Dcbilifu.
