Traces MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: As a pleasant, agreeable and invigorating beverage it is unsurpassed ; as a therapeutic agent we may confidently expect Puriri Water to be equally useful in all cases in which European waters would be prescribed ; as a stimulating alterative on the digestive organs In sickness I have found it of great value. It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, H F.C.S.,L.R.C.P.,ja.R.C.S. I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rheumatism. When charged with carbonic acid it forms an agreeable effervescing drink. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will prove valuable in cases such as those above mentioned. CHARLES F. 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 forms. 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 stroDgly resembles the waters of Vichy. J. KILGOUB, M.D. Puriri 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. JErated it is a cooling and refreshing drink. B. SCHWARZBAOH, M.D. All Orders from Steamers, Hotels, and Private Families promptly attended to.
