 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 " Oft what seems 
 A trifle, a mere nothing, by itself 
 In some situations, turns the scale 
 Of fate, and rules the most important actions." 
 
 It is not necessary that I should point out the importance of pos- 
 sessing a Canadian watering place. It is too obvious to require com- 
 ment. 
 
 A few years ago the Caledonia Springs scite presented nothing but 
 u small frame building and one or two log huts, with a few half- 
 cleared acres of land around ; but what a change has taken place 
 within the last five years. * 
 
 * If proof were necessary of the march of refinement, the following 
 would be one of no small force. At the Hotel of the Caledonia 
 .Springs, a place which but a few years ago was a portion of the 
 Great American Wilderness, and of which the celebrity is but quite 
 recent, an Amateur musical performance was given on the 24th ult. 
 of which the following is the programme. 
 
 The performers were all ladies and gentlemen visiting the Springs, 
 and both the amusement itself and the selection for the occasion, are 
 ndicative of the taste of the parties. We should be glad to hear of 
 pnany more such instances — N. Y. Albion. 
 
 This refered to a,journee musicale at the Springs.

 The woodpeckers loud tap on the hollow stump has given place to 
 the more musical tiny click of the composing stick. The prowl of 
 bears and wolves, is succeeded by the gay promenading of " Na- 
 ture's fairest flowers," and their attendant beaus. Where the lordly 
 sovereigns of the forest stood-some forty buildings have sprang up 
 in their place. Where the sun could never penetrate the impervious 
 branchesoffoIiage,~now, his glorious course can be watched from 
 the rising in the east to the setting in the west. Where all was wild 
 and undressed nature,-~we now find the improvmonts of civilization. 
 Where the wind breathed in sullen whispers through dense forests,— 
 we may now on the sabbath, hear God's minister speaking Hi» 
 promises to man. This is indeed a change,— of which all may well 
 be proud. And to crown the whole—here may be found the great- 
 est boon, which a bountiful providence has in her power to bestow 
 upon her creatures, -the Springs of life-spreading their charms 
 around, by imparting health to the sick,— alleviating at least, if not 
 always curing, the diseases of the human family. 
 
 Here, the lame forget to use their crutches,— the pallid cheek, 
 and attenuated frame, change for the rosy hue, and elastic step of 
 renovated nature. Here, the man of business, forgets for a brief 
 period, the anxieties and cares of the busy world, and by drinking 
 deep at the fountain of health, he is enabled to return with redoubled 
 rigour and gout to his pursuits. Here, the man of pleasure, who by 
 too free indulgence in sensualities, has felt the sting inseparable with 
 excess, has time to ruminate on the past, and resolve for the future 
 Here, the studious, can relax from their severities,— and recover 
 from the prostration of mind and body, so generally attendant on ex- 
 cessive application. Here, the bachelor thinking it time to change 
 his estate, seeks to mate with his kind. Here, the spinster, studies 
 the most becoming smile, and at length, secures a captive to her 
 charms. Here, old and young, married and single, one and all, as 
 if by common consent, appear determined, to wear life like an old 
 slipper, put on, and pu,t off with ease. -

 Caledonia, it must be admitted, is not remarkable for the pictur- 
 esque; and the country around is decidedly too level to afford a 
 pleasing landscape, but, by a little clearing of the woods, a beautiful 
 background view of the bald promontory of land, on the other side 
 «f the Ottawa River, will be at once brought into pleasing relief. The 
 distance is five or U\ miles, with some undulating scenery interme- 
 diate. 
 
 Within one mile and ahalf of the Springs, is the Caledonia settle- 
 ment, where there are as good farms, and well cultivated, as can 
 be found in Canada. 
 
 There are three Hotels at the Springs. The Victoria, is ninety 
 eet by forty, surrounded by three thousand feet of verandah prome- 
 nade. It is well furnished, with a spacious mu ic saloon. Every 
 comfort is to be met with in it th:it the invalid could require, or the 
 most fastidious taste expect in a rural abode. The wines are of 
 choice brands and defy criticism of the professed connoisseur. 
 
 The amusements at the Springs, are, an excellent Billiard table ~ 
 ball room,— rustic swing,— ten-pin alley— and a variety of games, 
 with which visitors, both Ladies and Gentlemen, amuse themselves 
 on the green- 
 
 All the cares and restraints,— all the chilling formalities of life^ 
 are here by common consent thrown aside. The health recovered 
 man of sixty, is oacn seen on the lawn practising the gmces, with 
 the lovely girl in her teens. 
 
 There is a sort of witchery in this rustic retreat, and visitors who 
 come here intent on passing a few days^ often remain spell bound for 
 as many weeks. 
 
 To the Sportsman it affords excellent amusement. Partridzes.-^- 
 Hares,— Snii)e and wild fowl abound; and at the distance of a few 
 miles walk or drive, capital trout and bass fishing may be indulged 
 in, by the lovers of angling.

 The Steam Boat navigation of the Ottawa has undergone a Tcat 
 change. Persons leaving Montreal in the morning, arc conveyed 
 nine miles by stage to Lachinc, from thoncc by Steam Boat to Point 
 Fortune in about six hours ; where the Springs line of four horse 
 stages, are always in readiness to convey them through. 
 
 The road for the greater distance is gooJ and the country through 
 which it Icad^, picturesque and diversified. Tiic distance is twenty- 
 seven miles, eighteen of which from Point Ft»rtunc to L'Orignal winds 
 on the margin of the majestic Ottawa, with the towering mountains 
 on the other side of the river, standing in bold relief. 
 
 The Springs Stages, leave Poitjt Fortune after the arrival of the 
 boat, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, up^vards ; and leave 
 the Caledonia Springs on Mondaya, Wednesdays and Fridays, down- 
 wards. It will be thus easy for Montreal visitors, to leave on Saturday 
 Morning, get to the Springs the same evening by day light, pass Ji 
 day of rest witli their friends at the Spa on Sunday, and after break- 
 fast on Monday return, arriving at Montreal before night. 
 
 There is a new S*eam Boat put on the river by the Ottawa Com- 
 pany FOR PASSEN'GERS ONLY, and the Ottawa will still make her 
 daily trips for passengers and towing. In addition to which the new 
 line of boats will ofler every facility for the travel and convenience 
 of visitors to the Springs. There is nothing now to retard the rapid 
 growth of this interesting abode of IIgbe. 
 
 Rome was not built in a day, nor is it to be expected that the 
 Caledonia Spa will be found a Saratoga — a Bath — or a Cheltenham, 
 but from the improvements going on, and the co-operation of the 
 Public, it will no doubt soon pi-esent, a prominent object of Canadian 
 civilization and benefit. 
 
 The American tourist in his visit to Canada, will fmd the Steam 
 Boat route by the Rideau Canal from Kingston to Bytown, the most 
 interesting. At Eytown he will be well repaid for a days sojoura

 hurled over the half concealed rocks — the spray ascending in clouds 
 as if in sportive dalliance with the wind — the loud angry roar of the

 be taken to L'Orignal, dislant about fifty miles, an;^ there, the stages 
 will be always in readiness to convey passengers the remainder of 
 the journey, (nine miles,) to the Springs.

 THE SPRINGS GUIDE. 
 
 
 :^ 
 
 In offering this little manual for the guidance of invalid visitors to 
 Ihc Caledonia Springs, the author disclaims any intention of uphold- 
 ing the waters, as a general panacea for all diseases. 
 
 There is no magic secret in their operation, in removal of the com- 
 plaints for which they are so justly celebrated. 
 
 Their analysis by one of the most celebrated practical chymists 
 (which will be found at the end of this little work,) presents incontro- 
 vertible evidence of their salutary tendency, upon the established 
 theorem of the highest medical authorities. It is an acknowledged 
 truth, that nine-lenths of diseases which "human flesh is heir to" Ire 
 visceral, or have their origin in the stomach and bowels. Such, may 
 be unhesitatingly pronounced, within the compass for which theac 
 invaluable waters present a certain relief, and not unfrequently a 
 perfect cure. It is a singular fact, that although medical men have 
 wcertamed to a nicety by analytical investigation, the chemical pro- 
 pcrUes of the Caledonia Springs waters, and can prepare it after the 
 foname J yet it is not la the power of medical science, to produce th«

 same happy results in the cure of diseases by the compounds of art, 
 (although of the same exact chemical proportions) as are effected 
 through the spontaneous and natural agency of the living springs,— 
 a boon placed to the acceptance and beneficial use of man by a 
 bountiful Deity, to remove or alleviate many of the diseases of th« 
 hur.\an family, from hereditary entailment, or those that are genera- 
 ted by self-abuse. Such an inestimable benefit placed within the 
 reach of rich and poor, should teach us to look around with satisfac- 
 tion, and upwards with gratitude. 
 
 Tlie Waters should toe drank at the Springt. 
 
 Many persons labor under an impression, and it is an argument 
 frequently used, that an equal benefit can be derived by Invalids 
 drinking the waters at their homes, as by their use at the fountain 
 head. I beg to differ with them. I do not assert that their medicinal 
 properties are lessened by transportation 5 but I contend, that change 
 of scene, abstractedness as much as possible from care, or matters 
 that may fret the mind ; and the opportunities afforded by watering 
 places, for lively converse, and cheerful society, operating by the laws 
 of social sympathy, contribute very much to recovery. 
 
 The sympathy between mind and body is universal, and universally 
 admilted. The removal from the scene of care,— and that general 
 soother of mind and body,-HoPE,-created by witnessing daily the 
 sanative virtues of the waters in the recovery of others, have a ten- 
 dency to calm the troubled action of the vessels, to check and soothe 
 the violent and irregular impetus of the nervous system, and to ad- 
 mioigter a beneficial stimulus to the oppressed and debilitated power. 
 of nature. 
 
 Every powerful exertion of the mind, produces some corresponding 
 change in the body. I need but advert to the experience of all,

 that when upon occasions they have wished for some delicious fruit, 
 or savoury viand, have they tiot felt sensible of the salivary glands 
 being stimulated to a free secretion of saliva. In like manner and 
 equally so, does change of scene and cheerful society operate upon 
 the body beneficially in disease, through the sympathy of mind. Not 
 only does a visit to a watering place, afford a temporary relief from 
 the pernicious influence of cares and solicitudes, but in general, 
 invalids can the more readily conform to the strict regimen which may 
 be prescribed for them. The, are besides removed from the tempta- 
 tions of friends, or the killing kindness of nurses, fostering disease by 
 the different condiments often forced upon their patients, by a mista- 
 ken but well-meant solicitude. 
 
 m 
 
 Spirituous I.iquor§ and Wines. 
 
 I would not be unmindful of impressing on the minds of invalid 
 ^ .. ^ visitors, the positive necessity of observing the nibst rigid abstinence, 
 : i with regard to wine and spirituous Hcjuors. No two things can be 
 
 \ more opposite in their effects, and great evil may be apprehended by

 font, of the absolute necessity of imposing upon themselves a limit 
 in this indulgence. But refljction will show every considerate 
 m'nJ, that eating to repletion must be a means of retarding reco- 
 very, by imposing upon the functions of the Stomach, in its debilita- 
 ted state, a greater f ask than it is capable of undergoing. Although 
 nature may make the demand upon us, yet should we supply her 
 sparingly at lirst. In the early stage of convalescence, such articles 
 of light diet only should be indulged in, which the digestive powers 
 can easily pass through the necessary process. That perfect 3Ius- 
 iication of food should be observed, and by dyspeptic patients in 
 particular, must be very obvious to every one. Mastication is the 
 source of good digestion. It is in fact not what -we cat, but what 
 we digest well, which nourishes the body. By thorough mastication 
 of food, greater facilities are thereby afforded to the gastric juices to 
 dissolve it, the nutritious property of the food is extracted, and the 
 more readily converted into chyle. — Chyle is the principle on which 
 the blood subsists, and if it be not formed by a healthy action of the 
 Stomach, then prostra^tion of strength, must as a natural conse- 
 quence follow. 
 
 Sleep. 
 
 It is an incontrovertible fact, that disease is often increased by 
 invalids remaining too long in bed in the morning, to make up as 
 thf.y allege for a deficiency of sleep in the night. Reflection will 
 point out the necessity, and a little determination will enable in- 
 valids to overcome this enervating practice. By rising early, and 
 going to bed in good time, sleep will become sound and refreshing. 
 The effort must be made, and persisted in ; those who desire to 
 experiert<;e benefit by using the waters, need only expect it by early 
 rising, and taking such exercise as they are capable of, before break- 
 fast. It should however be of a temperate description, and regulat- 
 ed so as not to produce fatigue. The necessity of exercise will be 
 made conclusively apparent in the explanations which follow.

 medical properties of th^. Springs. 
 
 Having thus briefly, but I trust plainly noticed the circumspec- 
 tion necessary to be observed for the recovery of health, by invalids 
 who seek to drive benefit from the Springs waters, — I shall proceed 
 to describe their different properties, and to advert to those diseasea 
 over which they exercise a beneficial influence. 
 
 There are three Springs,— The Saline, Gas, and White Sul- 
 phur. The most surprising thing is their proximity with 
 each other, and yet differing so greatly in their properties. The 
 two latter being but about four feet apart, and the former but a fcir 
 rods from them. The Gas and Saline waters are safe and agreeable 
 Aperients. The Saline is the most powerful. 
 
 In Dyspepsia, or derangement of the digestive organs, they are 
 found extremely efficacious, and the most inveterate and confirmed 
 cases in general, give way to their continued and judicious use. 
 
 Jn affections of the Liver, Kidneys and Urinary Organs theypoa- 
 Ecss extraordinary virtues. In Dropsy, Scrofula, Fever and Ague, 
 Jaundice, Habitual Costiveness, Nervous and Sick-headache and 
 Impurities of the Blood, they are found very serviceable. 
 
 In complaints engendered by an injudicious or indiscriminate uu 
 ofimrcuryi and also diseases to which young females are subject, 
 come within the immediate influence of these invaluable restor&tivea. 
 By their timely aid, the suflTerers from Chlorosis (and from neglect 
 of which many unfortunate young females are fated to an early 
 grave,) may be restored to society in the enjoyment of life's greatest 
 blessing — Health. 
 
 It must be known to most of my readers, that in the cure of di»- 
 eases generally, there is no hocus pocus,— no secret magic talisman 
 by which the medical profession effect it. There are three natural 
 drains or outlets, by which the eflTorts of art are directed, to assist the

 operations of nature, — the Stomach and bowels, — fha Urinary 
 organs — and the Skin. Up;in all these the Caledonia Springs 
 waters act powerfully. Tlicir beneficial tendency must be therefore 
 made conclusively apparent. 
 
 Directions fos* takimg tlic Tratcrs. 
 
 The Saline and Gas waters should be drank at six o'clock in the 
 morning;, commencing with four or five consecutive glasses, and if 
 the effect desired bo not produced in half un hour, it is advisable 
 to tako a glass at intervals of ten minutes un^il it has. Their opera- 
 tion is greatly accelerated by a modera'e exercise of walking The 
 aperient effect should always be produced before breakfast^, and no 
 difficulty need ever be experienced in accomplishing it. Unlike 
 every Cathartic medicine, not t/ic fclighlest degree of pain, nausea, 
 or even uneasiness of any sort is produced. But the most remarkable 
 fact is, that an action may be kept up on ihc Stomach and bowels 
 for months, by their unremitting daily use, without producing the 
 slightest debility of those organs, or any lo: ': of strength. 
 
 I have before observed, that the Gas Spring is the mildest in its 
 
 operation on the bowels, and it certainly is the most grateful and 
 
 exhilirating to the system, of any mineral waters that I have 
 
 ever met with. An elasticity and buoyancy of spirit is produced 
 
 that is trul> /rlightful. It will be found in the use of both the 
 
 Saline and Gas Springs waters, that when taken in the morning 
 
 fasting, they operate as a Cathartic^ but if after breakfast at any 
 
 period during the day, they act chiefly as a Diuretic, with but little, 
 
 and frequently no operation on the bowels. In some constitutions 
 
 they operate most powerhdly on the kidneys. 
 The Suljjliur Spring water, may be drank as a common beverage

 in almost every case, and I recommend it to invalids, particularly 
 in Cutaneous affections and Rheumatism, to be taken with their 
 dinner, in preference to the common well water. In a short time 
 it will be found not only palatable, but persons generally become 
 very fond of it. 
 
 The Gas Spring may be regarded as a curiosity. The ebullition 
 of the escaping gas may be heard at a considerable distance. A small 
 tin apparatus is most evenings in requisition by the visitors, which 
 being placed over the spring, in a few minutes collects a considerable 
 fjuaniity of gas, and on applying a light to the small tubular part of 
 the machine, it immediately ignites, and gives for some time a beau- 
 tiful, clear, bluish flame, which flares up spirally to a considerablo 
 lieighl. • 
 
 The practicability of lighting the Victoria Hotel with gas from this 
 Spring is not doubted, and the endeavor is shortly to be made. 
 
 Over I he Gas Spring there is a very pretty octagonal building, 
 with a walking gallery around it, the interior'^is fitted up as a grotto, 
 with a beautiful variety of lichens and moss. A round table fills the 
 centre of the room, in the middle of which is the apparatus for pump- 
 ing the water from the Spring below. Visitors can thus sit in this 
 cool retreat, and enjoy the delightful health-giving beverage in all its 
 freshness, and containing all the gaseous properties, as it is forced up 
 from under the surface by the suction pump. 
 
 Caution against abuse 
 
 It may not be unnecessary to caution invalids against an in- 
 ordinate and indiscriminate use of either of the Springs waters. A 
 greater evil than a good may arise from it. I have known persons | 
 erringly to imagine, that their recovery must progress in proportion | 
 to the quantity which they consume.

 Batbiog. 
 
 I must not omit to speak of the warm and cold Baths, as an auxi- 
 liary in the removal of some diseases. Bathing is found extremely 
 grateful to sufferers from Rheumatism. In some cases, the shower 
 bath will be found a useful agent, but the application of either, I 
 should recommend to be had recourse to, only under the dircc- 
 titn of a Physician. In others, it is advisable to use the warm 
 bath just before bed time, and by retiring immediately after, a free 
 perspiration will be induced, which will greatly contribute to a cure 
 of disease by one of the principal outlets — the skin. — If it be used in 
 the middle of the day, a moderate exercise of walking should be had 
 recourse to. 
 
 General bathing is indispensibly necessary to a healthy action of 
 the skin, at all times when the weather will permit. It has asto- 
 nished me that so many enlightened people of the age, should neglect 
 this one great means of the preservation of health. From neglect in 
 this particular, it may be asserted with truth, that in the majority of 
 persons who do not avail themselves of it, the pores of the skin are 
 half-closed, and unfit for use. It is at the same time a benefit and a 
 luxury. 
 
 In our public seminaries particularly, every recourse to it should be 
 afforded to the rising generation, for it not only invigorates the system, 
 but it begets attention to cleanliness in youth j a due regard to 
 which cannot be too early inculcated, influencing so much as it does 
 their habits in manhood. The Baths at Caledonia are prepared with 
 the Springs waters, and their efficacy when taken internally, is in 
 many cases greatly enhanced by their auxiliary external application.

 desultory Observations. 
 
 The Caledonia Springs waters, although not extolled as a general 
 panacea, yet may be viewed as of inestimable value in the cure of 
 chronic complaints. I have no hesitation in recording my opinion 
 of them, as surpassing any thing that I have ever met with in the 
 whole range of the materia medica, in the euro of Rheumatism. In 
 some cases the good effect is so quickly experienced as to astonisl# 
 the patient. A gentleman who visited Ihe Springs the early part of 
 last season, and who had been confined to his room the greater part 
 of the winter with inffammatory Rheumatism, upon being asked by 
 myself a few days after his arrival, — if the waters agreed with him 1 
 Agree! replied he, I have heard of magic uiflucnce before, but never 
 knew what it meant till now. Five days ago I could move neither 
 hand or foot, without excessive pain,— and now I can dance a jig- 
 suiting the action to the word. Nor is this case of speedy relief 
 from intense suffering, at all isolated, a great number of cases have 
 come within my own knowledge, wherein a few days have produ- 
 ced an immediate convalescence. 
 
 A strongly marked case of Rheumatism has just been under my 
 personal observation. A few weeks ago, a gentleman arrived here 
 from Montreal, a cripple, suffering intense agony— sleep was denied 
 him at night, and his days were past in changing from a sofa to a 
 chair, and from thence to bed ; an incessant shifting was resorted 
 to in the vain hope of getting rest, or an intermission of racking 
 pain. He had been for a long time under tiie most eminent of the 
 faculty at Montreal, and army surgeons of great professional acquir- 
 jncnts, without deriving any, even the least benefit. He left tha

 t 
 
 blishment, and 
 
 17 
 
 Springs a few days ago in robust health, freed from pain altogether, 
 and able to walk as well as he ever could. 
 
 It is the duty of gentlemen of the medical profession, to discard 
 all narrow-minded or selfish feeling, and to give the waters of the 
 Caledonia spa, a calm, cool, and dispassionate enquiry " nothing 
 extenuate nor set down aught in malice" — the honest result I have 
 no doubt would be, that they not unfrequently (and always in chro- 
 nic affections) will bid their patients repair to the Caledonia Springs. 
 
 I have much pleasure in giving my humble testimony to the liberal 
 and honorable feeling displayed by a great number of the profession 
 already, who rank high in public estimation, according well with 
 their deserts. 
 
 It has frequently happened that in long standing and inveterate 
 chronic cases, where medical men have in vain tried every thing 
 which their professional experience could suggest, to arrest the pro- 
 gress of disease, as a dernier resort, despairing of accomplishing it 
 themselves, and to get rid of all further responsibility, they have 
 advised their patients, to try the springs,— and many, very many, 
 are the living proofs, that unfortunate sufferers were not " hoping 
 against hope" at the last hour. Indeed very few invalids leave the 
 Springs without experiencing benefit, if not perfect recovery. 
 
 From the celebrity which these mineral springs have so justly ob- 
 tained, it is not unreasonable to expect, that they will at no very 
 distant day exercise a powerful influence over the prosperity of the 
 district in which they are situated particularly, and the Province of 
 Canada general'- They will not only supercede the necessity of 
 visiting the Saratoga or other Springs in the United States, and 
 thereby keep within our own little world that indispensible article— 
 money,--froin their superior claim to the consideration of the valetu-

 (linarian, over alt. other mineral springs yet discovered In America, — 
 by their variety as well as their powerful efficacy in the removal of 
 disease, — but they may also with justice attract the attention of tlw 
 tourist of pleasure, and general traveller from afar. 
 
 Indeed, Caledonia Spa is already alllce the resort of the youthful 
 and gay, and the grave, conleniplutivc! and recluse, of our own coun- 
 try, with an occasional sprinkling of our American friends. Many 
 more of whom we shall doubllcsss often have the pleasure of welcom- 
 ing, when this infant Cheltenham shall be more generally known. 
 Its rise and future prosperity may be distinctly traced through the 
 vista of time. 
 
 I am glad to perceive that a new era dawns upon the steam-boat 
 navigation of the Ottawa. It would be a positive sinning against 
 the interests of the Ottawa District g.'ncrally, and their own good 
 particularly, that indifTcrenccin slcam-boat companies to the necessary 
 facilities for visiting tlic Springs should be manifested. A great deal 
 has been done by all engaged in tho Springs undertaking, particularly 
 by Mr. Parker ; and however much individual good may arise out of 
 it, that it is yet a means of encompassing a great public benefit, by 
 placing to the acceptance of tlic sick "a balm in Gilead" is apparent. 
 It remains then with tho public, to show a merited liberal appreciati- 
 on of the effort, by co-operation. 
 
 The domand for the Springs w^aters at a distance is very great. 
 Four thousand eases of a dozen bottles each, have been forwarded 
 (since Mr. Parker's proprietorship) to various parts. It has been also 
 sent to France and Liverpool. Many thousand gallons are 
 annually taken away in bulk, seme of which goes a distance of a 
 hundred miles by land. 
 
 Agents are appointed in the cities, and it is intended to establish 
 agencies at every large town in Canada, and also in New York, and 
 many of the important places in the United States.

 In presenting this litllc manual to invalids, groat will be my r*i- 
 j ompcnsc, if I shall have the satisfaction of perceiving that my hints 
 .ire judiciously applied. 
 
 It is truly distressing to sec as is often the case, unhappy victims 
 suffering from their own neglect, when the means of relief have been 
 within their rcachj and by simple att^^ntion on their own part, it may 
 have been experienced. 
 
 In this unpretending labor, I have mo?t studiously endeavored to 
 avoid prolixity, abstruscncss, and professional technicality. It has 
 been written with all the simplicity possible, and I have throughout 
 kept in view, that it was intended for the many.

 The Waters of the Caledonia Springs will prove highly serviccabi* 
 in the treatment of various chronic diseases. 
 
 They possess those happy natural combinations of medical ingre- 
 dients which are almost universally acknowledged by medical men, 
 to be more beneficial as remedial agents^ than any imitation of them 
 which we are capable of forming. 
 
 It affords me great pleasyre to hear that they are becoming ex- 
 tensively known, and that many invalids have already received sig- 
 nal benefit from their use.
