Wo realize that this is claiming a great deal, and we could not afford to make this assertion unless wo knew that we could prove It to be true. Hut it does not tako an expert to test the toftness of a Mineral Water. When oarbonating a mineral water, if it is a hard water the gases will not bo absorbod in the wat^r, and when the bottle is openod, the gas es escape, and the water is loft llu and hard, whilo if it is a soft water, like White Stono Lithia, it will retain Us gases for hours after being unstopped.

Very truly, J. O- C. Fleming. After a service of ono season at White Stone Lithia Springs, as resi dent physioian I do not hesitate to pay that tho effect of Iho water upon those who drink it for any length of time, has b2cn perfectly marvelous. Invari ably an increase both in llosh and ap petite was percoptible in ono weok. proving it to be a mineral water of undoubted powerful tonic property. Its peculiar adaptability to diseases origi nating from disorders of the kidney, bladdor and liver, such as Dropsy, Uright'sdi8eases,Diabetes and uric acid calculi, and all forms of Dyspepsuv, Rheumatism and Gout Is to bo ex pected from the splendid analysis.
