Hey Charlie,

Welcome to A-BN. Did'ya consult the directions?

"It is impossible to enumerate all of the diseases to which this water is applicable, it may
be said to act as a powerful tonic in all cases of general debility, to assist in the cure of cholera in-
fantum, or any catarrhal condition of the stomach and bowels. Remarkable cures of long stand-
ing and seemingly incurable dyspepsia have been made. As a diuretic, it acts quickly and freely.
In any disease of the liver (not organic) or kidneys (except diabetis insipidus) it has a most
salutary action. Ladies suffering from menstrual derangements are greatly benefited and cured
by drinking of and bathing in these waters. Cases of sterility seemingly incurable have been
cured here quite frequently. Any one suffering fn^"i 'i^-'aria in any of its forms are always
benefited by a visit to us.

The Sweet Chalybeate Water is pleasant to me tasie and has no disagreeable odor what
ever. The large amount of gaseous constituents make it far more palatable than ordinary drink-
ing water, it has a decided mineral taste. The water may be drunk ad libitum by some, but
invalids had better consult the resident physician, who will instruct them how much, and when to
drink of the water. The proprietor xpense, has piped water from a delightful spring to

the hotel, and guests who do not w :- ik the mineral water may drink of this cool, sparking

and pure mountain spring. Besides having hydrants at convenient distances in the Hotels
there are hydrants of this water on the lawn. It is also served at meals.

The two large enclosed bathing pools with cement floors are our most popular attrac-
tion. Both ladies' and gentlemen's pools have polite and efficient attendants in charge..." From.

That has to be a pretty rare bottle for the local collectors.
