 "The beneficial eflFects of .1 course of mineral waters is 
 not always evident at the time ; the after operation is not a 
 fallacy, hut a truth proved by repeated experiments. Many 
 diseases are too nncient and deeply rooted for a cure to be 
 effected l)y a month or six weeks' course, and thpugh an 
 aggravation rather than an amelioration of the complant is 
 occasionally experienced at the time, yet the patient, as a 
 rule, finds himself benefitted by the after operation."— Z>r. 
 Julius Braun, in '■'^ The Spas of Europe." 
 
 "An alkaline ]|iliine water will promote the fluidity of 
 the blood ; assist in the combination of the sacchairine and 
 starchy matters with the oxygen ; help the functions: of res- 
 piration and calorification ; rectify the elements of the bile 
 and tendency to thicken or formation of calculi ; maintain 
 the intestinal digestion and regulate nutrition and assimila- 
 tion." ■ ■

Water as a Beverage or as a 
 riedicine. 
 
 1. 
 
 The subject of water for drinking, whether as a l)everajre 
 or medicinal agent, must always be considered as of the 
 greatest imi^rtance. With the frequent inipurity of the 
 supply of many cities, and the positively contaminated con- 
 dition of that consumed in most country places, it is a matter 
 for Satisfaction to know of a source to be relied upon, filling 
 every requirement of a ^ good drinking water and that, in 
 addition, imparts so much benefit by its use. 
 
 The use of artificial mineral waters may now be said to 
 beat an end; medical men have at their disposal such a 
 variety of the genuine products that no excuse remains (ot 
 resorting to imperfect substitutes. 
 
 As types of natural mineral waters that are most universal 
 in their uses, those of the Caledonia Springs are unique. 
 By the healthy, these waters are freely drank as a beverage ; 
 to many who habitually use them much of their good health 
 may be attributed, for they tone the system and keep it in 
 condition to throw off disease. An evil with some waters 
 in ordinary use is their irritating effect on the bladder and 
 kidneys, some of the most popular table waters having this 
 disadvantage.. The Caledonia waters are soothing in their 
 action, and in the case of the Caledonia Seltzer (from the 
 White Sulphur Spring), may be drank at all times with 
 benefit and when used with wines or spirits will carry off 
 much of the bad effects they are likely to give rise to. 
 
 The facility with which these waters are absorbed by 
 the system is remarkable ; users of other waters will be .sur- 
 prised at the quantity of the Caledonia waters that can vbe 
 drank without inconvenience or the least discomfort. 
 
 With the perfection to which everything is carried at the 
 present day, it is a curious fact that till comparatively re- 
 cently correct analyses of waters were unknown ; the most 
 famous sprin|;s were resorted to for the benefits that accrued 
 
s a

 accrued 
 
 from the lise of the waterH, while their onHlitiicnts were .up- 
 posed to l>c almost anything Iml what they really wrrc. 
 
 Calcd«min Springs has Iwen resorted to for the cure of 
 rhcuri.atism, dysi)epsia, skin diseases, ^ic, since 1805. lu 
 fame since has continually increased, extensive hotels, hnth 
 houses, etc., erecte.1, and n^edipal men having frt>m an early 
 date recognized the virtues of the waters, it now holdn a 
 foremost place among the watering places of America, and 
 IS widely km)wn for the remarkable cures effected. Annu- 
 ally, from May to Octolwr, thousands are drawn thither by 
 this knowledge and the most eminent physicians have clasn- 
 ed them as even superior t.) any foreign springs of the same 
 character. 
 
 It is not claimed that the same amount of iK-ncfit can be 
 obtained in every case by drinking the mineral waters at 
 home as can l>e derived by their use at the Springs where 
 the waters contain gases that are, in a measure, lost in ex-" 
 portation and where bathing in them is also practised and 
 forms so important an auxiliary ; nevertholess, the advantage 
 of drmkingthemat all seasons has proved highly desirable, 
 ^ind astonishing cures have been in this way accomplished. 
 The widespread and growing demand for these Waters abroad 
 , IS so remarkable that there can l)e no doubt as to the good 
 they are in this way accomplishing. 
 
 , ^ So extraordinarily large have the exports of the Cale- 
 donia waters grown-increased, indeed, purely by their owii 
 advertising of their merits l)eyond every anticipation of the 
 proprietors-that it has been deemed advisable to issue the 
 information contained in this pamphlet that the scope of 
 the known efficacy of the waters may be understood and 
 that cures may not be looked for in cases where the waters 
 are not applicable. 
 
 As an ordinary beverage there can be no other waters so 
 desirable; they are free from any impurity; brilliant in 
 appearance; delicious to drink; can be taken at jiny time 
 with impunity; old and young are equally fond of them ; 
 ordinary water i^ distasteful to consumers of these waters J 
 liquor users find in them a substitute, and one that will 
 eventually banish the desire ; they furnish at small cost a 
 desirable beverage the hospitable can at any time offer to a 
 
gUCTt ; every user wilt olilnin n po»iiivc Jwncrtl from clrinkinu 
 them ; th«7 im|Mrt Nirch n feeling of «xhilnr«tioii ami renew- 
 ed energy (hat once tried they l)cc()me1he tovorltev 
 
 For ordinary drinking, the Caledonia Saline and the 
 Caledonia Sdtzcr (from the White Sulphur Spring), arc an 
 present the only waters ex|M.rte<i ; they can l)c taken at ai.y 
 time ; the Seltzer is the kind that Aiixes Iwttcr with wines, 
 etc., and as a table water is ther*i)re more suitable than 
 the Saline. The lK)ttling is done inThc most scientific man- 
 ner, with the most approved .ipporalus, and the use of these 
 waters by the weollhiest classes is evidence of their superiftr- 
 ity, l>oth as regards <|uality and condition. 
 
 ~ Prevention is better than cure. Kverybody likes the 
 
 Caledonia waters ; their induence for good never wears oft', 
 and that .their use |)rotecls from illness is well attested.' 
 In no family in which they art' once introduce<l will ihey 
 afterwards be done without. There arc numbers of prom- 
 inent physicians who keep the Caledonia waters for their 
 own domestic use, andiook upon it as (piite as important to 
 have them in the house as any other article of comm.m 
 consumption. These waters are largely used in many of the 
 principal hospitals. 
 
 There can l)e no question as to the advantages, in point 
 of health possesse<l by an individual whose liver and kid- 
 neys properly perform their functions. The Saline and 
 Seltzer are essentially liver and kidney waters, respectively. 
 They come, in mineral waters, under the head of "Alka- 
 line." The best authorities on springs concur in the opin- 
 ion, that while the fact is palpable that certain complaints 
 are benefitted by certain waters, the analysis of a water does 
 not form an unerring guide as to its usefulness, but that each 
 spring must be valued for the results obtained from its use. 
 With the many years experience now had of the Caledonia 
 Springs, the range of cases in which the waters are effica^ 
 cious is thoroughly defined and accepted by the profession. 
 The use of strong saline waters is to be deprecated for 
 many reasons; not only are th^ey unpalatable, their action 
 harsh and quite unfitted for the young or delicate, but as a 
 rule they are simply purgatives, and persons habituating 
 themselves to such treatment will in time find that the sys-

 The Calwlonltt .Saline is not a purgative ; it is define«l as 
 a "miKI laxative, alterative and tonic." It in an ideal 
 water. ItH action it of the gcntloMt nature ; as a laxative it 
 must l)e taken the first thing on rising in the morniag', when 
 its eftect is simply to osHist nature in one thorough, copious 
 motion. Olwtinate chronic ca|^ of constipation, with jier- 
 severance in drinking the .Saflnc in the manner indicated, 
 will \)c' cured ; no matter what may lii; the Iwlief of, the 
 public or the experience with drugs, it k insisted up.)n that 
 the properties of this water will !« continually available ly 
 the most constant user. / 
 
 Sufferers from weak stomach, aci<lity, indigestion, dys- 
 peimia, etc., obtain speedy relief by the use of the .Saline 
 water. To those leatling a se<lentary Ijfe, e8|)ecially, is this 
 water of value, stimulating the secretions, inweasing the 
 appetite and imparting a sense of convfort and enjoyment of 
 life of the greatest value, for it is the neglect in this re- 
 gard that is a. cfjuse of yseless misery to many, the blood ^ 
 becoming poisoned from the disordered stomach and gout 
 or rheintiatism developed. . ■'■ 
 
 To the flushing of the kidneys and bladder, which fol- 
 lows the ijse of the Cale^nia Seltzer, im|X)rtant results 
 follow, andfuhe lienefits to the blood and skin most marked. 
 The use of this water can be continued when others have to 
 be abandoned on account of the irritation that many waters 
 have upon tl\e bladder. The alkaline nature of the Cale- 
 donia waters (Completely neutralizes and carries off the acid 
 \ of the blood th»t is the cause of gout, lumbago, rheumatism, 
 neuralgia and kindred complaints, and for eczema and most 
 ~4-«li«^diseases the results obtained are equally satisfactory. 
 
 The action of the Caledonia waters upon the nerves i» 
 soothing. Martyrs to insomnia are not the least of those 
 who are benefited by these invaluable waters. 
 
 It may be accepted as' a fact, capable of proof by-anyone, 
 that the habitual use of the^e waters will, when organic 
 disease is not present, result in perfect health, a content«d

 and clear mind, pure skin, acUve digestion, good appetite, - 
 sound sleep, and a force of energy, all of which naturally 
 ioilow one upon the other, consequent upon the effects pro- 
 duced on the system by these wonderful remedies of nature. 
 
 The manner of using the Caledonia waters medicinally 
 is, ordinarily, to drink from one to two pints of the Saline 
 before breakfasting and, after the bowels have l)een moved, 
 two to four pints of the Seltzer are drank during the day! 
 When constipation has to be overcome, a free motion of the 
 bowels should take place each day before the Seltzer is taken. 
 
 Children are greatly benefitted by the Caledonia waters ; 
 they are fond of them and every one should have a glass or 
 two of the Saline the first thing in the morning at least 
 weekly.' For infants teething or suffering.from the maladies 
 that beset that time of life, the Seltzer, as a beverage, is 
 used with the best results and will not interfere with any 
 other course of treatment. 
 
 In the treatment of chronic complaints the Caledonia 
 waters are to be relied upon ; immediate cures are not to be 
 looked for but with patience and perseverance the most 
 skeptical will be entirely satisfied. Of rheumatism or 
 dyspepsia there can hardly be found a place on the conti- 
 nent in which there is not an individual who has either 
 been cured himself or been a witness to the recovery of 
 others during the season at the Springs when, at all times, 
 sufferers are present in every stage of convalescence ; it il 
 not temporary relief that is obtained bm radical cure, the 
 waters searching out every branch of the organism contribut- 
 ing to the development of these complaints, the stomach, 
 liver, kidneys, blood, skin, etc., as mentioned in these 
 pages. 
 
 In blood and skin diseases the cures are just as remark- ' 
 able; the effect of the waters is speedily apparent. A 
 clear, healthy skin is assured by the regular use of these 
 waters. 
 
 Gouty subjects find great advantages from the Caledonia 
 waters; drank freely in the manner indicated, the attacks 
 will frequently be warded off if they do not cease altogether, 
 or when occurring, be of very mild character.

 " He that would have at clear head must have a clear 
 stonrach, and to have a clear stomach must drink pure 
 water." Some writers attribute the shortness of human life 
 to the use of improper waters ; many painful and fatal 
 diseases are clearly due to pernicious water that has been 
 habitually .drank ; that many epidemies are produced by 
 impure drinking water is notorious : In the words of a 
 celebrated physician "contaminated water has slain thous- 
 ands." ° 
 
 As showing the usefulness to humanity of the Caledonia 
 waters the following few extracts are made from standard 
 medical works by the eminent English physicians, Ifood, 
 /Fuller, Prout, etc. : 
 
 A person seldom takes cold if his stomach is in good 
 order ; and he is unusually prone to suffer from variations of 
 temperature when his digestive functions are impaired. 
 This may be explained on the hypothAis of a defective 
 state of the blood produced by improper digestion and 
 assimilation, which renders it les^ capable of sustaining the 
 integrity of the various bodily functions and thus diminishes 
 the general; vital resistance to noxious fnflu^nces. 
 
 When the liver fails to remove from the blood those 
 materials which it is its peculiar province to excrete, there 
 will no longer be a free discharge of healthy bile into the 
 intestines; the bowels at once become confined and thus 
 the most important outlet of the body fails to act efficiently 
 as the chief deptirator of the system. 
 
 Cold and other external agencies are only predisposing 
 and exciting causes of rheumatism, the primary, proximate 
 or essential cause of the disease is the presence of a morbid 
 matter in the blood, generated in the system as the product 
 of a pecul ia r form of m a l ass imilation> — This poison it is 
 
 which excites the fever and produces all the pains and local

 imftamniations which are often found associated in an attack 
 of rheumatism. 
 
 *■-■•' - * .. ■ . 
 
 For chronic rheumatism there is no cure but the mineral 
 water ; physicians do the best they can with the many drug^ 
 constantly being brought forward as specifics, but. tte result 
 is only to prolong the time, when mineral waters are re- 
 sorted to, during which they will continue to suffer. Sir 
 W. Gull and Dr. Sibson advocated, in preference to drugs, 
 leaving the patient wholly without medical treatment and 
 trust entirely to Warmth, rest and good nursing— and they 
 should have added diet. 
 
 Experience has shown that, in proportion to the length 
 of time a disease, so to speak, has been in process of 
 incubation, so is the length of time that will be required for 
 its effectual cure. All this being matter of fact, it will be in 
 the. interest of the rheumatic sufferer to refrain from the use 
 of medicine which at best giv;^ only temporary relief, and 
 adhere to the mineral wat?r, which, with patience and 
 perseverance in its use, is sure to eventually not only cure, 
 but entirely eradicate the disease. 
 
 Some inexperienced medical men ^ with the whole 
 pharmactepia at their disposal, will persist in experimenting

 Take Care of the Old People. 
 
 Flourens, the French savant, contended that all man- 
 kind ought to live to lOo and Haller^ the celebrated 
 physiolc^t assigned 200 years as the duration to which 
 man's age might be prolonged. 
 
 It is asserted that no individual has been known to die 
 from real old age, in whom the machine has been thoroughly 
 worn out from the lapse of time, but that in every case,'the 
 aged have succumbed to some disease which, ,if it had 
 occurred twenty years earlier in their lives, would have been 
 quite as likely to have carried them 3if. . • ' 
 
 The longevity of man and animals it is found, as a gene- 
 ral rule, depends on a variety of circ imst^nces. In propoi*- 
 tion as the one or the other is ovei worked or improperly 
 fed and where little or no regard has been paid to the laws 
 which govern health, so is each liatle to the shortening of 
 the natural duration of life. In th< case of those human 
 beings who possess a knowledge of t le laws which govern 
 health and are guided by them, man's existence may be pro- 
 longed to a period vastly beyond that which is usually 
 assigned to it. 
 
 Excess in eating and drinking, festing, smoking, may 'all 
 prove faptors as well as undue exposure to cold ; but, per- 
 haps, the most fertile source of all causes is neglect of the 
 signs of coming diseases with which nature invariab^ 
 furnishes us. If we allow these signs to escape us without 
 attempts' at correcting what they indicate, a downward pro- 
 cess is suffered to continue which might otherwise, perhaps, 
 have been long retarded. 
 
 There can be no question that the plainer the food we 
 eat, when properly cooked and taken in moderation at 
 proper intervals, the more favorable will it prove to the 
 longevity of the individual. The object should be, what- 
 
 -^ 
 
lo 
 
 ^ 
 
 ever may be the nature of our diet, to eat sufficient and no 
 more than we require. 
 
 There can be no question that those men who continue 
 to employ their brains and keep their bodies in exercise 
 exhibit the best types of vigorous old age. When fatigue 
 or exhaustion occur the good effects of exercise are. dis- 
 sipated. • 
 
 . Cold loathing, under favorable circumstances, has con- 
 tnbuted to longevity, but much depends upon the integrity 
 of the heart and circulation and upon freedom from organic 
 disease. 
 
 It is far too frwjueni when men have reached the age of 
 seventy, for th^, gradually and almost imperceptably, to 
 drift into habits of indulgence and solace themselves wrth 
 the Idea that, as they have accomplished their seventieth 
 year, they should change their habits of life and take things 
 ^easy. Age after all is comparative, for if a man has been 
 prudent and active in hi& earlier years he has no right to 
 conclude, when he reaches seventy, that his condition is 
 analogous to that of a person whose previous life has been 
 one of indulgence and imprudence and who presents the 
 marked characteristics of senility. 
 
 ^ The heart, although it is an involuntary muscle, requires 
 the stimulus of exercise, like the muscles that are under the 
 will, to maintain its integrity, without^ which it is prone to 
 flag, and then all the different organs will suffer from imper- 
 fect circulation.. Cold is very depressing upon the action of 
 tHe heart, and consequently most inimical to old and youn* 
 The occurrence of chilblains in those with feeble circulation 
 IS an instance ^f the external effects of cold. The unseen 
 results of a languid circulation are of vastly more importance ^ 
 and many diseases of an hereditary type owe their appear, 
 ance to this fact not being appreciated ; it is the glandular 
 organs which suffer most when the circulation is impaired, 
 the liver being the chief. ^^ 
 
 The circulation of the Mood through the liver is only 
 second in importance to that of the heart itself, for if any 
 inte rruption to the due transmission of blood takes plar. ,'n 
 the liver irom congestion, enlargement or any cause of ner- 
 vous irnt|tion, there must also be a failure in the due supply

 various symptoms indicative of cardiac derangement may

 Of the diseases which more immediately are the cause of 
 death in the aged, the chief are traceable to congestion of 
 one o|r more of the vital organs. When in the brain, appo- 
 plexy is produced; in the lungs, bronchitis; in the liver, 
 imperfect or impaired action, and jn the kidneys, cessation 
 of their natural functions. 
 
 It is as necessary to contribute strength to the growing 
 youth, by a generous diet and tonic medicine, as to attend 
 to the defects observed in the more mature fabric of the aged 
 when their bodies reqijire repair, and to subject them to 
 proper hygiene. 
 
 The ailments which specially affect the aged are those 
 which are common to air who lead a sedentary, life, as 
 diminished appetite, imperfect digestion and malassimilation; 
 derangement of the liver is the most prominent symptom, 
 though the patient may perhaps be unconscious of the 
 possession of such an organ. ,, 
 
 The livcfr is next in importance to the lungs in relieving 
 the blood of an excess of carbon, a function to which exer- 
 cise greatly contributes ; but its main office is to act as the 
 purifier of the lower portion of the body by the regular 
 discharge of bile, which is nature's aperient. When the 
 secretion becomes itnpaired in quality or deficient in quantity, 
 constipation or sickness is the result, and which the restora- 
 tion of a healthy secretion removes. 
 
 Agesilaus, being asked what he thought most important' 
 for boys to learn, answered, " what they ought to do vrhtn 
 they become «men." Some of the most promising youths 
 have been shipwrecked in their outset in life— as well as 
 men afterwards— from ignorance of the laws which govern 
 health. It should be incumbent on those to whom ii 
 intrusted the education of our sons and daughters to provide 
 proper physiological instruction for their pupils. 
 
 When the matter of the preceding pages has been con- 
 
 sidered, and it is all incontravertable fact, it will be under- 
 stood what a blessing to humanity lays in the mineral

 These famous waters being within the reach of every

 One of ibe chief watering places of the day is Caledonia, 
 the seat of the Springs, at present attracting considerable 
 attention. For many years these waters and their remark- 
 able influence on the system have been known to the people 
 of Canada, and more recently their celebrity has extended 
 lothe neighlxjring republic, in consequence of which they 
 are now being frequented by rheumatics and dyspeptics to a 
 \ large extent. People are commencing to be aware of the 
 important fact that saline and sulphur springs such as Cale- 
 donia have a purifying effect on the great internal organs of 
 the system, and after a sojourn there of two or three Weeks 
 those pleasure seekers who also wish for sea air will derive 
 much greater benefit from having first cleared the system by 
 internal washing. In the hurry of life how few consider the 
 vast importance of change, and what better legacy can one 
 leave to his family than self. A few days spent each year 
 at these springs would if carried out in proper time, add 
 comfort and happiness to many a home. 
 
 To see the sickly arrive each day, unable to walk, assis- 
 ted by crutches and such like, and in the course of one week 
 or so, to observe, the changed conf tion, active, lively and 
 nimble, walking about unaided by anything except the 
 props of nature, is proof positive, of the curative influence of 
 these waters. Jaundiced faces, changed to clear skins* 
 swelled limbs reduced to their natural size, distorted joints' 
 regaining their normal elasticity, and in fact^ the general 
 transformation, from % state of infirmity, to activity, so 
 pointed, that one cannot avoid coming to the conclusion 
 th&t. in Caledonia Springs, nature has placed at the dis- 
 ' the public, one of the grandest levers pnssihlp f o r

"YOU DRINK THE CALEDONIA WATERS. 
 THEY DO THE REST." 
 
 The business of the Caledonia Springs, lK)th the ship- 
 ping of the waters and the health resort, extending now over 
 the greater part of a century, does not require any forcing 
 at the present day. The waters are never shipped unless 
 on actual order of purchase ; the demand for them is created 
 by theif genuine merit and adaptability for shipping in bulk, 
 a quality possessed by few other mineral waters, the gener' 
 ality requiring to be bottled at the source, and even then 
 they frequently become unpalatable, if not unsafe to drink. 
 Stored in a cool place, the Caledonia waters, in wood, 
 after eighteen years, have still remained fresh, palatable and 
 efficacious. 
 
 Consumers can procure the Caledonia waters in bottles, 
 aerated, from any respectable hotel, grocer, wine merchant,' 
 or druggist. There is no monopoly in their sale, any dealer 
 can obtain them for you from the several wholesale agents 
 or by addressing the proprietors, The Qnuid Hotel Co., 
 at Caledonia Springs, Ont.
