Tracoa MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: As a pleasant, agreeable apd 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. PAYNJB, F.C.S., L.R.0.P., M.R.CS. 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 agreenblo iflfcrvescing diint. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will prove valuable in cases such us those above mentioned. CHARLES F. GOLD3BRO, 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 inny be advantageously employed as a be vertigo by all who are fond of a clear and sparkling drink, lit chemical constitution strongly resembles the waters of Vichy. J. KILGOUtt, M.D. Puriri water can be best compared in value to the celebrated waters of Eissingen in Bavaria, beneficially used in cases of diseases of the digestive organs. iErated it is a cooling and refreshing drink.
