It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, , , F.C.S., L.R.C.P;, M.R.O.Si I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rheumatism. When charged with carbonic acid it formß 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 most useful addition to, the means of cure at the command of persons affected by gout in its various forms. It is extremely palatable, aud may be ad van tagooußly 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. 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 drinki B. SOHWARZBACH, M.D. AH Orders from Steamers, Hotels, and Private Families promptly attended to.
