Traces Phosphate of soda ... Traces MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: As a pleasant, agreeable and invigorating , beverage it is unsurpassed ; as a therapeutic agent wo may confidently expect Puriri Water to be equally useful in all cases in which European waters would be prescribed ; as a stimulating alterative ob the digestive organs In sickness I have found il of great value. It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, F.C.S., L.R.C.P., M.R.O.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.O.P. It promises to be a inosh useful addition to the means of cure at the command of persona 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 strongly resembles the waters of Vichy. J. KILGOUR, M.D V Puriri water can be best compared in value to the celebrated waters of Kissingeu in Savaria, beneficially used in cases of diseases of the digestive organs. JErated it is a cooling and refreshing drink. B; SOHWARZBAOH, M.D. AU Orders from Steamerej Hotels, and Private Families promptly attended to. Delivered in Cases containing Five Dozen.
