Traces MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: / As a pleasant, agreeable and invigorating beverage it is unsurpassed ; as a tlierapeutic 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 xalue. It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, ' F.U.S., L.R.C.P., M.R.0.3. 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 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 extremoly palatable, and may bo 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. 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. SOHWAEZBACH, M.D. All Orders from Steamers, Hotels, and Private Families promptly attended to. Delivered in Cases containing Five Dozen.
