Mineral

Springfs.

IXKRAI. SPRINGS (laie from the most
rcmr.te periods of history. The Arabians,
the Kgyptians, the Greeks, the Romans,
and, in fact, all nations of the world have
used Mineral Spring Wate.s for med.cinal
purposes. Hippocrates, Aristotle, Herodotus,
and even Homer wrote of them, in ptose and
poetry ; temples dedicated to .Ksciilapius, the
god of medicine, were erected near them, and
the springs were made the sites of hospitals,
medical schools, baihs and resorts for the
diversion of the sick.

For Many Centuries

Mineral Waters were the only medicines used
in Rome, and there still exist many traces of
ancient Roman baths, consisting of buildings
of great architectural beauty, and adorned
with statuary and mosaics that were very
celebrated.

In our practical day we have shorn the
J^piings of the superstitions of the ancients,
and the busy habits of modern times do n.^t
permit us to spend the time and the elaborate
preparations upon the [)ath that were be-
stowed ujion it in the luxurious days of im-
perial Rome.

The First Work opon the Quality

of water printed in America treats of it from a
therapeutical standpoint. It is entitled "The
Curiosities of Common Water, of the Advan-
tages thereof in Curing Cholera, Intemper-
ance and other Maladits," by John Smith,
CM. It was printed in Boston, Massachu-
setts, from the London edition of 17 12, for
Joseph Edwards, at the corner shop on the
north side of Town JIousc, in 1721;. It calls
special attenti(m to the excellency of water as
a drink, and enumerates its therapeutical at-
tributes as follows ; " It cures gout and hypo-
chondriacal melancholy ; it benefits gravel
and stone in the bladder ; it makes the child
grow strong in the womb, and increases the
mother's milk ; it stays hunger, for there was
a certain crank-brained man, who, at Leyden,
when Dr. Carr was there at the University,
pretended that he could fast as long as Christ,
and it v/as found that he held out the term of
forty days without eating any food, only he
drank water and smoked tobacco. Water is
also of great use to strengthen weak children ;
it prevents swelling from bruises, sickness of
the stomach, shortness of breath and vomit-
ing ; it cures fluxes, constipation, colic, small-
pox, etc."

What is

Mineral Water?

From the Standoomt of PhvMciAnc ^

Mineral \V;.tcr is any water that has an eflect
npon the human system, no matter how feebly
minerah/c-d it may be ; that is, it is any water
that possesses medicinal virtues, whether they
be due to the presence of orjranic. inorganic
or gaseous contents, or to the principle <.f
heat. Under this defmilion, therefore, wouM
I)e inchuled many waters that, from a chemical
standpoint, nnght be considered very pure, or
chemically indiflerent.

From the Standpoint of the Deafer

in bottled Mineral Waters, the denniticm has,
of course, a very wide range. From this
point of view, all waters put upon die matktt
for sale, in bottles or barrels, or in any other
way, come under the head of Mineral Waters,
and in collecting the statistics of the com-
mercial aspect of the subject it has l)een found
impossible to draw any definite line, either
according to the mineralization of the water
or the uses to which it is put. A number of
the waters would be considered indifferent
when viewed in the light of their chemical

composition, but it must be remembered that
some of the pure waters have an undoubted
therapeutical effect, and that chemical analy-
sis, wliich is absolutely reliable only in its esti-
mation of l)asic salts and acids, will not al-
ways exj)lain the medicinal effects of a water,
and that small (|uantities of some constituents
are often more effective as remedial ajrenls
than others that are present in larger quantities.

MINERAL SPRINGS,-Theif Origin.

" From whence comes the abundant,
never-fiiiling supply of Mineral Water, chanj^-
iug but little from day to day, cjo^ing, bub-
bling, spouting, in all sorts of fantastic figures.
The undisputed facts are that all springs,
mineral or otherwise, are meteoric in their
origin. Springs have always been a very puz-
zling question and a fruitful subject of debate
for ancient philosophers."

'^Aristotle taught

that there were large cavities in the interior of
the earth filled with air, and that this air con-
densed to water on the cold ceilings and made
its way to the surface through fissures."

''Vfrtruvius believed

that springs were due to an accinnulation of
ram and melted snow in subterranean reser-
voirs."

** Descartes imagfined

■

tliaf the .-^ea was the source of the water
which tl-.wed into suhierranean caverns, was
vaporized, and afterwards condensed, fmaDy
escaping to the surface through crevices in the
rocks."

" The water of Mineral .Springs, as of all
other springs, is now, however, recognized as
no new creation, but it is well known that the
spr.ng is only one of the phases of an acp.cous
circulation which begins an<l ends in the clouds
that envelop our globe. Kalling through our
atmosphere as rain, after it reaches the eaith
the water ever seeks lower levels, and while a
large part passes directly to the o ,- n, through
the lakes and streams, a very considerable
portion sinks into the earth through the crev-
ices in its rocks, and, issuing later as a spring
m some lower and more favorable level, event-
ually reaches Ihe ocean, whence by evapora-
tion it once more becomes part of our cloudy
envelope. In the latter part of the seven-
teenth century Mariotte, a French physicist,
and Halley, the eminent French astronomer,'

-s-

independently of eacli other, and one hy
physical methods and the other from an astro-
nomic.il point of view, tiemonstrateii that the
evaporati(jn from the ocean is siidlcient to
account for tlie sii[)ply of water to all the
springs, lakes and Tivcr.s that .-upply water to
the sea. I'.un'on later <lem()n.sliale(i the same
theory hy sclectinjj a lake without an outlet
and provini^ that the evaporation from its sur-
face was ecpial toall the water that was poured
into it."

** It was anciently believed

that all the iwiu that fell upon the earth either
ran ofT or was absorbed by the surface strata a
short distance below the soil, but the constant
tiripping of water from the roofs of mines and
tunnels proved this vi(;vv incorrect. In Misnia,
in Saxony, water forn)s in drops on the roofs
of mines l,6oo feet i)eIow the surface, and
when the railroad tunnel through Mount
Cenis was cut into rock hard enougli to turn
the btst steel, that rock was found U) be so
Idled with water that a canal had to be i)uiU
through the center of the tunnel to carry it
away. I'rof. T. Sterry Hunt estimated a
square mile of sandstone too feet in thickness
will contain water sufficient to sustain a (low
of a cubic foot a minute for more tiian thirtettn
years. The water reaches the surface through
springs in several ways. Sinking below the
surface, it penetrates the strata to a greater or

44 •p

-6

less deplh, ami is fm,uently sul.jecit.l (., an
cnorin.nis liydn.slatic pressure as it reaches
l"vver levels ; niul when a fav.uahle „,,|„.r.
timity occur,, thr.-u^rh a crevice in ihe rocks
tlHs pressure forces it to the surface, or l.o.inu
for an artesian well ^^ives it the necessary
relief. Many springs, however, find their
own outlet as they How iron, hijjh altitu.Ies
to lower ones, and sr„„o wafers, especially in
the case of hot springs, are f,.,ced to the sur-
face l,y an acain.nh.li„n of sleaui, or exist as
Keysers from the very f.rt of their hi^h teu,-
perature. The accumulation of jras is also
effective in the case of many cold sprinj,rs ur
<n sprmjr.s that alternately throw ,.ut yas an.l
water."

** The great majority of Sp

rings.

however, reach the surface quietly either alonj;
the base of mountains or in valleys, or at the
coast line. Their supply area is the hiyher
mountain rejji.m that receives the water as
rnin. This, then, ordinarily sinks until an
impervious stratum is reached, alo.iij which it
Hows until it emerges at the first favoral.Ie op-
portunity at the lower level, either r.s an ordi-
nary spring, or a mineral spring if the rocks
through which it passes are favoral.le, or as a
hot or warm spring if it penetrates D a i^nent
depth or comes in contact with heated r'i.cks
before issuing at the surface of the earth."

Abenakis
nineral Water.

N preseiiling this water to the puhlic we lespecluilly
ask liie attention of those who use nuncral
waters to the fact that this water is well known
to aiul highly recommended by members of the
Medical Faculty as a specific fcr the cure of a
large nundjer of diseases. Ihe marvelous
curative properties of the Abenakis Mineral
Spring Water, named for the Abenakis tribe
' of Indians, were well known to these and
other Indian tribes, many of whom are said to
have coine great distances to procure restored
health and strength from the use of the
" Water of Li(e," as they called the water,
which good example our own people, in con-
stantly growing numbers, are following, as the
increasing patronage from home and abroad
clearly demonstrates. The Mineral Water is
used as a beverage and for baths.

As a Medicinal Water

Wc Ask for a Trial,

desiring only that it have a chance to cure
some of the many ills that flesh is heir to,
and that \\.^ future pyefertnent shall depend
on its curative prop-erties, for its promptness of
action on most diseases, and its phenomenal
range of application to so many ills and its
ivonderful cuies.

-8

It Would he Useless for a Doctor

to lecture on its medicinal properties, or even
tocl.scuss its chemical analysis, as npplid to
weIl.(i,ngnosed diseases that are so conunon
among all classes of men and women ; while
the chemical analysis shows it to l,e a first-
class curative water, what is />e//cr and mcc
to the satisfacti(,n of persons who have rheum-
atism, gout, dys,)epsia in any of its forms •
constipation, the most common and worst
all troubles that humanity is adlicte.l with •
liver trouble, kidney or bladder trouble, is for
the sufferers to know that just such troubles
huT'e been cured in many instances hy the use
of this water, and jvith no other remedies.

The Reputation

of this water has been established l,y persons
who have tried all other remedies and who
have Jaded to get relief until obtained by the
use of this extraordinary fluid. If persons
who may read this pamphlet will read over
the testimonials in another part, they will most
likely find cases similar to their own have
been acted on and cured, an.l that, loo, with
no other assistance than a liberal supply of
(he water. We have testimonials enough to
fill a large book, ami others are constantly
commg to us from persons made happy by
being relieved from sufferings that they have

-9—

not otherwise lieen able to get rid of by the
use of medicine and the best of physicians.
And this, too, has reference to ahnost every
form of disease. Of course, this seems un-
lil<ely, ami we are open to the criticism that
all waters claim much, and that our water
cannot be very dilTerent from other waters.
We have no way of answering any or all such
criticisms but by suggesting that some of the
people whose names are signed to the testi-
monials may be consulted, or that an investi-
gation be made personally of our springs, or
that they send us an order for a case of water
and make the trial for themselves in such a
way as may best suit their convenience and
thus be convinced.

Wc Make the Broad Statement

at this time that, /;/ all cases that have come
jindcr our observa 'ion, all the people ivho have
ti ied this ~vater have given it praise above any
praise accorded to any other water; and some
of them who were sick have declared solemnly
and sincerely that its use has saved them from
great sufferings and perhaps death. It is,
therefore, a matter well worth the attention
of an)- one who is in need of a good water to
carefully inquire about this ; and the way
most efiectually to do so is to get some of it,
and make the personal application, with the
guarantee that it has done others great good.

Many physicians say •♦ they have used
the water on patients suffering from diabetes
and deem it their duty to write in regard to
Its therapeutic value. They }mve used no
medicine of any kind in the meantime, and
are wonderfully henefifed hy its use." It is
recommended I.y others for all kinds of ki.jney
or hladtler troubles. " In its use no grave'l
wdl ever form in the kidneys or bladder, nnd
that It is benehcial in all kinds of skin erup-
tions, and all diseases arising from excess of
uric acid, and for weak digestion p..)d dvspep-
sia, etc." ' * *

Ve Have Many Cases of this Kfnd«

They read more like romance or fairy tale
than fact. Apparently marvelous and unnatu-
ral, but when properly understood they are
simply laws which will produce certain re ,ults
every time, natural, scientific, philosophic, and
consist merely in applying a remedy that re-
moves the cause of irritation, and the patient
gets well at once.

There are quite a nund)er of cases of
• severe constipation, of many years' standing,
that this water has cured.

Also a number of cases of sick headache
and nervous prostration, want of appetite, and
sleeplessness and biliousness that have been
permanently cured.

The human body is a far l)etter chemical
apparatus than any yet fliscovered by man.
Instance, the sense of.sniell when no chemical
appliance can tell you what is in the atmos-
phere ; also the sense of taste, and these
iiiii;ht he multiplied.

Nature^s Laboratory

is indeed most curious and wonderful in its
handiwork in producing combinations and
jinler-combinations, chemically and mechani-
cally combined, some of which the analytical
chemist may discover, but which he will hnd
it imj)ossible to imitate by any jjrescription,
^\\i.\ we find also results from the use of na-
liue's water which cannot be accounted for by
any vialeria med'ca, nor can it be imitated so
as to produce the same results medicinally
upon one suffeiing irom any well-diagnosed
disease.

It Would be an Easy Matter

for one to produce pure water and mix it with
the salts, as indicated in the analysis, but the
effect proiUiced medicinally upon a sick person
would not be the same in bringing him to
health. /// natntes lahoralory some suht/f
mysltry has henin made a coml>inatio)i and
has made a mixture oj minerals as curious and
..J mysterious as are ike cures that it effects.

Abenakis Mineral Baths.

The Curative properties of Abenakis
Mineral Water are far famed. The
water used for bathing flows from the
same spring from which visitors drink.
An analysis of this water shows it to
contain about 883 grains of Saline
Solids per imperial gallon, and so far
as medication of the waters can favor-
ably affect the bath for which they are
used, the Abenakis Baths have the
strongest claim to confidence, inas-
much as no other waters that are used
for bathing are more highly impreg-
nated with mineral salts.

These baths, in connection with
the drinking of mineral waters, al-
though not required in every case, are
a matter of utmost importance in a
large number of cases in aiding to
produce the best effect of the waters.

Those desiring to use the hot
Mineral Baths, the effects of which
are pronounced, should before taking
them be advised as to the temperature
and length of time to remnin in.

Analysis of Abenakis Mineral Water*

Samples of Abcnakis Mineral Water have
been suhmilteil to the inosl eminent chem-
ists of the country, and quite a nuniher of
analysis made. We take pleasure in {giving
you herewith the result.

OiKicE (IK riiK I'uBiic Analyst,

MON'IKKAI., Jl'I.V, IcSSj
" I hcieiiy certify thai upon a careful analysis of
a larfie sample of the Ahenakis Mineral Water of the
St. I'raiuois du Lac Alienakis Springs, I find as
follows : —

*' Total Sahne Solids, 883.4 grs. per imperial
gallon.' These are chielly chlorides of calcium, mai;-
nesium, potassium and sodium, with a slight trace of
liiliium, a very valuable alkaline solvent. It is, in
every respect, a medicinal water of the Saline class,
beinj^ pur|^alive, allerati\'e and antiacid. It contains
a fair share of alkalim.' bromides, iodides and phos-
phates, and would be rendered still more valuable by
aeration with c.irl)onic acid gas and suitable dilution.
As a Seltzer Water It would compete with the
finest Saline Springs of Germany."

(Sij;nt(I) JOHN BAKER EDWARDS, Ph.D., F.CS ,

rul'lic Analyst, Montreal.

Prof. Harrington, of the University of Mc(iill
College, Montreal, says : "It contains chloride of
sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium, the car-
bonate of iron, bromide and iodide of magnesium,
sulphit of lime alumina, and phosphoric acid."

There is a second mineral spring, about ftfty feet
from the former, containing many ol the above ingre-
dients- but it is of the sulphurous class, .nnd has also
proved to be a very valuable sj)ccific for certain
classes of common ailments.

There is also a soft fresh water spring near by,
whose waters are greatly prized., l.'eing clear, cnoj
and delicious.

Pleasure and l^ealtb Resort

stands without a r=val in the Dominion of
Canada. Nature has endowed the surround-
injr country with an exuberance of beautiful
and diversi'ied mountain, lake and river scen-
ery. Its historic connections h.ive brought
thousands of people from far and near to view
the spot where the outlueak of the long and
desperate conllict between the Indians and
British soldiers began. There is no place in
the Dominion which commands and invites
more public patronage and interest than does
the Abenakis Springs. The remnants of the
once famous Abenakis Indians, for whom the
Springs and Hotel are named, reside nearby
in a little colony, sui)porting their own schools
and churches. They manufacture an endless
variety of souvenirs, which have found their
way into the remotest climes, having been
carried there by visitors.

— 16-

Location*

The Al)en.iki> House and Mineral Springs are
(leliglilfiiliy situated near the vilin^'e of San
Francois <hi I.ac, in the County of Vainaska,
Province of (Jiiei)ec, Canada, on the west
l-ank of the St. IVancis River, near its contin-
ence with the majestic St. Lawrence at Lake
St. I'eier. The /\>sl Office is Al>enakis SpHni^s,

Amusement and Recreation*

One is not restrained to the conventionalities
of city life. The surroundinj; country affords
opportunity for pleasant walks and deli<,'htful
drives along the river banks and through
groves of pine. The boating on the St. Fran-
cis and St. Lawrence Rivers and Lake St.
I'eter will long be remembered by all who
visit this delightful section of the country.
Music, dancing, pool, lawn tennis, croquet,
etc., will add to the pleasure an<l enjovment
of those .so inclined. One m:iy have a quiet
or a gay time, as he desires, and whether for
health, pleasure or recreation, he need not go
away disappointed. The pool tables, lawn
tennis and croquet equipments are for the free
u.se of gu.'sls.

A Quaint Country,

The country is (L.tic-d with tlialch-rooftd
hoiist's and l.arns, old-fashioned hake ovens
and wcdl sweeps, vvhicn yive it the appearance
of a fort'itin land. Here and (here you will
see a hand loom in operation, turidnK out
linen just as it was made centuries a^o. The
inhal.itantsof this section of the province have
ever been noted for hcalthfulness, thrift, j,'oo(l
morals, and that noticeable politeness so char-
acteristic of the French people.

Lakes a«d Rivers.

The St. Francis River flows on past the hotel
to the St. Lawrence. Its clear, l)Iue waters,
doited with innumerable islands, present a
most charming view and ever-changing pano-
rama.

Lake St. Peter is formed by the union of
the St. Francois, \'amaska, Richelieu, Nicolet
and St. Lawrence Rivers. It is twelve miles
wide and thiity long.

Boating and Bathing.

The management of the house have provided
a large number of well k^pt boats, the use of
which is free to guests ; and have erected
lialh Houses on the beach for ladies and
gentlemen, the use of which is also free.

— 18—

The Hotel.

Till' AlK'iiakis House is i comiiKuliDus l-iiiM-
ing, erected with special reference to health
and roinf..rt. It is two stories liij^'h, oiu- hun-
dred and tweiUy-fiVf feet in length l.y one
iiundred in depth, with a central tower four
stories hif^h. Adjoining' the hotel proper is an
extension one hmidred and twenty feet l.)nR.
There are nearly one hundred larf;e. w"ll-
aired and easily accessiiile bedrooms, with
spacious (lining-room, parlors and l.alh, ar-
ranged with special reference to personal com-
fort, social enjoyment and recreation. It is
the constant aim of the management to make
the guests feel "at home."

Abenakis Annex.

Close l)y the hotel is the "Abenakis Annex,"
a large and commodious two and a half story
iniilding, to accommodate the overflow in the
height of tlie season.

Children's Playroom .

A large room has been set npart for a play-
room for the children when weather will not
permit outdoor recreation, and games have
been provided for their amusement.

Fish and Game,

'i he fishing; hy hook and line in the St. Fran-
cis kiver and Lake St. iVter is first class,
rivalling the very hesl of the fishinj; resorts in

AN UNQUALIFIED ENDORSEMENT.

St. Francois du Lac, March 14.
Dear Sir, —During the several years that I have
practiced medicine in this parish, I have often had
occasion to judge of the eflicncy of the mineral waters
01 the Ai)enakis Springs, when they are used in suit-
ahie cases.

Of the twi) springs wliich there are in this locali-
ty, one furnishes Ahenakis Mineral Water which pos-
sesses veVy iHonounced purgative qualities; it is also
alterative and anliaci<l.

Us use gives good results in a great nund)er of
chronic diseases, particularly in the torpor of liver, of
snieen and hepatic evlic ; the chronic gastritis and the
gastralgy, not accompanied liy irritation or by organic
lesion, are successfully modified hy the use ot the
AI)enakis Mineral Water of the Ahenakis Springs.

It possesses also an incontestable utility in the
gouty diseases, when the kidneys work well and that
the gouty persjn can take a sufficient exercise.

The other spring furnishes a Sulphurous Mineral
Water, which is used with advantage in the chronic
diseases of the chest, such as pulmonary catarrh,
pneumonia and chronic pleurisy, asthma and phthisis,
when these diseases are not accompanied bv a too
[ironounced irritation.

But its efficacy is felt particularlv in the treat-
ment of scrofula and all other chronic scrofulous
diseases, lymphatic and rheumatic, sciatica, lumbaizo,
etc. *" '

I recommend strongly the use of the Mineral
Witter of the Abenakis Springs in the treatment of
diseases herein above cited.

Yours, etc., A. O. Comire, M.D.

PILES CURED.

Waltliam, Mass.

I would like to add my testimony in reference to
the great henelit to he derived from the famous
Ahenakis Springs Water. I had been a great sufferer
for a long tmie from constipnlion and piles, and after
stoppmg at your house for two weeks and <irinkin"
freely of the water I f,,und my health greatly im"^
proved and that I have gained six pounds of (le'^h.
I also gained eight poun.ls directly after condng
away. Months have passed since then, and I Hn.l
myself entirely cured from the effecls of indigestion
and piles, and I am a new man in lu-alih. "" I can
recommend it as a safe and permanent cure for ail
such diseases.

Yours respectfully, (;. s. 1 1 all.

INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CURED.

Montreal, August 8.

It IS with pleasure that I recommend anything
that I know beneficial to mankind. Accordingly, I
am glad to add my testnnony to liie many already
given as to the wonderful effects of the Abenakis
Waters. For four years I had been a perfect martyr
to inflammatory rheumatiMii, my joints being all
swollen and very much enlarged. \'ear after "year,
while attending college, I Was treated by the best
physicians in Montreal, but all they could do was to
alleviate the pain. All efforts towaids curing me
were futile. I tried mineral waters in other places,
but with no beneficial results. As a last resort, in
July, [ came to the Abenakis Springs and remained
for four weeks. To my surprise and'joy I found my-
self completely cured. I have now been two year.s
enjoying complete fieedom from rheumatism.

The boating facilities at the Abenakis Springs,
the clear pure air, and the good comfortable hotel
all combined, makes the Abenakis Springs one
of the most beautiful and healthy summer resorts of
Canada ; also its medicinal properties make it a great
boon to those sufTering from rheumatism.

Yours very sincerely,

W. I), Kkid, H.I)., H, A.,

INDOLENT ULCERS.

Beebe Plain, Vt., April 29.
I take great pleasure in rec imnicndiiif; the Al>en-
akis Springs water, as I have seen wonderful results
from its use. One case in particular I would mention,
that of an old lady who had been suffering with a
long-standing indolent ulcer, which liad affected her
health greatly. She had been tic ited by physicians,
but without any apparent benefit. By the advice of
friends she was induced to try the water from your
springs, and, very much to my surprise, in less than
two months the ulcer had entirely healed, and her
general health has improved wonderfully. I con-
sider her at present perfectly cured. I could men-
tion other cases, jjarticularly rheumatic or affections
of the kidneys, for which I think the Abcnakis
Water has no equal.

SCIATICA RHEUMATISM CURED.

Bedford, fanunry 23.

Dear Sir, ~\ consider it a privilege to be num-
bered among those who have testified in favor of
your valuable Spring Water known as Abenakis
Mineral Spring Water.

I had suffered six months from that terrii>le
di.sease, sciatica rheumatism. The family physician
did ail in his power to cure, but failed to give relief
only for the lime being. I was advised by a friend
to visit Abenakis Springs, which I diil last August
22nd. I made a short stay of ten days, and came
home rejoicing. Have been able to work ever since.

And about a year ago my wife was taken with bil-
ious fever, grip|)e and indigestion, which le(t her in a
very low condition ; also had scrofulous eczema of
long standing ; had not been able to do any work for
one year. She accoinpanieil me to the Sprirgs. Is
greatly improved in every way, and now doing her
own work.

Yours truly,

Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Knekland.

INDOLENT ULCER.

Beebe Plain, April 22.

For five years I suffered witli an indolent ulcer
on my leg. 1 tried everything under the sun to heal,
without success. I was very much run down fmm
the constant drain upon the system. Rheumalisni
and dyspepsia troubled me. As a last resort, and
not with much faith. I concluded to try Ahenakis
^prmg Water. To-day the ulcer is healed, and has
been f.^r a long time. .My dyspepsia and rheumatism
are cured, and I am a well man. I am satisfied the
water will cure all diseases of the blood, rheumatism
and dyspepsia. To all suffering from the above dis-
eases I would say, give it a trial, and I am sure you
will not l)e disappointed.

Vours truly,

DYSPEPSIA AND KIDNBY TROUBLE CURED.

.Stanstead, P.Q., April 2.

This is to certify that I have for several years
been afflicted with the worst form of dyspepsia and
kidney trouble. I could eat nothing without sufter-
ing the most excruciating pain for several hours, both
in my stomach and kidneys. I consulted several
phyMcians, and took any quantity of nauseous drugs
without the least benefit. I had entirely des|)aired of
ever getting relief when I was induced to try the cele-
i)rated .Abenakis Water, and to my great joy I com-
menced to improve at once. To-day I am a well
man, can eat anything without feeling the least incon-
venience from it, my kidney trouble is entirely well,
and I am as free from pain as I ever was, even in my
youth. To all suffering as I have been I would say,
'* Throw physic to the dogs and drink of the great,
healthful mineral water —nature's beverage— and you
will never regret it." Thanking you for your kind-
ness in supplying me with the mineral water.
I am, Vours, etc.,

Water did the work instead ol the knile.

for the sake of others alllicted the same as 1 was, n'^d

LUHBAtiO AND RHEUMATISM

Sherl)ro()ke, (^)iic., March 3.
I not only take pleasure in testifying; to tlic merits
of llie Ahenakis Sjirin^'s Water, Imt consider it a
duty. For several \ ears I had i.een a sufferer from
rheunialism and Unnl)a^o, the pains at times bein<^
so severe as to unlit me for (hity. I consuUed several
physicians and took many drug's, Init without any
l)enefit. At the soHcitation of friends [ decided to
try the effects of the Ahenakis Water, and to my ^^rcat
joy and relief, after a stay of a few weeks at your
house, I found myself a new man. Since my return
1 have not experienced the least return of my old
trouble. I would advise all troubled with rheumatism
to give the water a trial.

Piarreville, (^)ue.
I hereby certify that I have been a suHerer from
dyspepsia and kidney disease for twelve year>. I
could eat hardly anything without being sick uk stly
every night and' often through the day.' I have had
recourse to a few of the best doctors in Montreal,

I can eat anything I please without any fear of un-
easiness. I can sleep well, and do more work than
at any other time before. I attril)ute the effects jiro-

SCROFULA CURED.

Moes River, March 20.
My wife, Mrs. A. U. Staples, has suffered for
years from a very severe form of dyspepsia ; also from
scrofula, showing itself often in glandular swellings
which, filling with ''pus," would have to be lanced
and continue long as troublesome ulcers. She had
been prescribed for by nnny physicians, and had
taken many (so-called) remedies, but hari found no
permanent benefit. Last July she visited Abcnakis
Springs and stopped two weeks. An abscess on her
neck, which had been lanced about five weeks before
leaving home, but showed no signs of healing, was,
when she returned, almost entirely healed ; and for
months after her return she suflered no inconvenience
from indigestion. lam fully convinced that the water
of the justly famous Abenakis Springs, as adminis-
tered under the direction of Kimpton cSc Leith, for
drinking, bathing, fomentations, etc., is almost a
complete specific for the cure of dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, scrofula, and kindred diseases.

EFFECTS OF LA GRIPPE.

Coaticook, I'.Q., April 1 8.

I was confined to my bed l)y a severe attack of
"la t^rii-pe" in January, which resulted in dyspepsia
in its worst form, and after an iHness of nearly six
months, during which time I spent live weeks at Long
Island, I'ortland Harbour, without benefit, my phy-
sician suggested that I visit Abenakis Springs. I did
so, and after using the water two weeks the results
were mo:.t gratifying. I purchased a barrel of the
water and have used it during the present winter, and
i take much pleasure in saying that I have nearly re-
covered from the disease.

I would not be without this excellent water in
my house.

Sincerely yours, Geo. L. Pinkham.

INFLAMMATORY RHEUMATISM CURED.

Lowell, Mass., April 22.

For twelve years I was laid up from two to five
months each yenr with intlammatory rheumatism. I
was confined to my bed the greater part of the time,
unable to move hand or foot, and the pains I suffered
were something terrible. I was treated by the best
physicians in Lowell, and of course got relief, but
nothing permanent. I was never free from pain, and
worked in misery— what little time I did work. I got
discouraged, thinking that I must endure this as long
as I lived, when I was advised by a friend of mine to
go to the Abenakis Springs, stay two or three weeks,
drink freely of the water and use the baths. I did so,
and to my great joy I got relief, so that for fhe past
year I have not had an ache or pain, h.ave worked
every day, and never felt more like working in my
life. It is wonderful what an invigorating effect the
water has upon the system. It seems to give new life
and vigor. I feel that I cannot speak in high enough
terms of the wonderfu'. mineral water.

I am, respectfully yours,

Austin Bodwell.

able to do the lightest work, and suffered constant
pam in my back. I became emaciated and discour-
aged I was continuously under a doctor's care, and
1 will give them credit of doing some good. Hut
never did I get complete and permanent relief
until I commenced the use of the Abenakis Siting
Water. After using it three months I consider my
self perfectly cured, and have felt none of the old
pains, and do as much work as any man, and do it
without gettingtired. The water seems to have t'iven
n.e a new lease of life. I keep it in the house all the

RHEUHATJC GOUT.

Montreal, April 8.

I am pleased to bear testimony to the good effects
produced in my case by the Abenakis Mineral Water.
After suffering acutely from rheumatic gout for five
or six years (during which time I visited other springs
with but partial relief), I was induced to go to your
springs, in August last, scarcely able to walk without
assistance. As you will remnnber, the effect was
almost magical and produced a profound impression
upon the 100 guests then at the Springs. Arriving
on Saturday unable to stand without support, by the
middle of the following week throwing my slick away
and waltzing witli the ladies.

I found the water antl baths act admirably on my
kidneys and my wife remarked only yesterday, that
I had not been so free from sickness for a nund;er of
years, as since I left the Springs in September last.
I found the location quiet and beautiful, the house
neat and clean, attendance good, and the table all
that could be desired. John Richards.
