INCOMPARABLE!
The water is said to resemble very much that of the White Sulphur Springs of Virginia.— It is particularly well adapted to DYSPEPTICS, while as a general renovator it is unsurpassed. It has proved EFFICACIOUS S in many cases of Scrofula, Erysipelas, Dro By, &c., &c., Ac. I would-add that since last season I have discovered on the premises Chalybeate water of very good quality.
