MSDICAL TESTIMONIES i I ; As a pleasant, agreeable: and ■■ ; - j inTigoratiftgbeverage it is unsurpassed ;as a 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, jit is: water which I would recommend fre* quehtly. MARTIN H. PAYNE; ; ; F.C.S., L.R.0.P., M.R.C.S. I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful iv dyspepsia, gout, and rheumatism. When charged with '• 'carbonic, acid it forms an agreeable effervescing drink. I have personally given the jwater a trial, and' believe it will provo .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 stropgly resembles the waters of Vichy. J. KLLGOUR, M.D. Puriri water can be best compared in value to the celebrated watera of Kissingen in Bavaria, beneficially used, m cases of diseases of the digestive organs. JEcated it is a cool; ing and refreshing drink. B. 'SOHWAHZBACH, M.D. All Orders from Steamers, Hotels, and Private Families promptly attended to.
