It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, H F.U.S., L.8.0.F., M.R.O.S. I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rheumatiem. When charged with carbonic acid it forms an agreeable tffervescing drink. 1 have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will provo valuable in cases such as those above mentioned. CHARLES E. GOLDSBRO, R.C.P. It promises to be a most useful addition to the means of cure at the command of persons affected by gout in its various formß. It is extremely palatable, and may be. advantageously employed as a beverage by all who,are fond of a clear and sparkling drink. Its chemical constitution strongly resembles the waters of Vicby. J. KILGOUB, M.D. Putiri water can be best compared in value to the celebrated waters of Kissingen in Bavaria, beneficially used in cases of diseases of the digestive organs. 2Brated it is t»'cooling and refreshing driuk. ;■ B.
