“Strontium, the metallic base of Strontia, one of the alkaline earths,first obtained from native carbonate of strontium by Sir Humphry Davyin 180S, is of a pale yellow color, burns with a crimson flame, emittingsparks, decomposes water, liberating hydrogen gas, is hard, ductile andmalleable, and is obtained from the anhydrous chloride by electrolysis.Specific gravity, 2.54; atomic weight, 87.5 ; symbol Sr. Its most impor-

tant compound is the oxide calledStrontia.”— Johnson's New Universal

“The Strontia Mineral Water Spring is located near Brook-landville, Baltimore County, Maryland. All that is claimedfor the Wateris no doubt well sustainedfrom the testimony given in its favor. It is

prescribed for diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys; Gout, Rheuma-tism, Headache and Genital Weakness. It removes oppression after eatingand assists digestion.”—Extract from the elaborate Treatise on Foreignand Domestic Mineral Waters, published by P. Scherer & Co., New York.

STRONTIA SPRING.LOCATION.

The Strontia Spring is located near Brooklandville, BaltimoreCounty, Maryland, on the Green Spring Branch of the Northern CentralRailway, about six miles north of the Druid Hill Park, Baltimore. Thehigh elevation of the Spring is such that it is absolutely free from surfacedrainage. The Spring was discovered in 1877, and the virtue of the waterimmediately recognized.

In a paper read in the Hall of the Johns Hopkins University, beforethe Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland, at theeighty-fourth session, April 14th, 1882, upon the Potable Waters of Mary-land, Dr. W. C. Van Bibber said:

“ When the saline or gaseous ingredients of water are sufficient inquantity to impart to it a decided odor or taste, or when from analysis orexperience spring or well waters are found to contain substances whichproduce positive beneficial results upon some of those who drink them,they are termed Mineral Springs. Of these there are many in the Statewhich are used for medicinal purposes. The water from one well hasrecently obtained much celebrity as a mineral water. This is the Strontiawater, and the well from which it is obtained is situated near Brookland-ville, in Baltimore County. Its analysis has been made by Prof. WilliamSimon, and shows that this water contains more Strontia than any otherwater known. It is highly esteemed by many physicians and others whohave used it. What the particular medical virtues of Strontia are, or howthis substance, in combination with other substances, gives such positiveresults as this water does in some cases, are questions which cannot bediscussed in this paper.”

ANALYSIS.The following Analysis is by W. Simon, Ph. D., M. D., Professor of

Chemistry and Toxicology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons;Professor of Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry in the Maryland Collegeof Pharmacy, Baltimore, Md.; Author of a Manual of Chemistry, etc., etc.

Mr. O. P. Macgill.

Dear Sir :—Of the many samples ofwater sent to me for examination,the product of your Spring is one of the very few deserving the name ofMineral Water.

2It contains about ten times the quantity of saline matter usually found

in common spring water. The presence of Iodine and Strontium was sur-prising to me, as these elements are but rarely found to a larger extent inwater.

The preliminary examination having shown the value of the water, Icertainly would advise you to have it thoroughly examined and tested,both chemically and practically, by physicians.

Hoping that you may succeed in rendering your Spring valuable toyourself and sick persons,

I am, very respectfully yours,DR. W. SIMON.

PROPERTIES OF THE WATER.These are explained in the following letter from Dr. Jackson Piper, a

member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, residing inthe neighborhood ofthe Spring:

Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., December 12, 1877.O. P. Macgill, Esq.

The properties of the Strontia Spring Water are Tonic, Antacid,Aperient, Alterative, Antiseptic, Solvent and Resolvent.

Tonic, in containing Nitric, Carbonic and Sulphuric Acids. Antacidand Aperient, for its Soda, Sodium, Magnesia and Lime. Alterative andResolvent, for its Potassium, Strontia and Iodine. Solvent, for its Acids,and Antiseptic in its Chlorine and Acids.

The class ofdiseases to which these properties address themselves areAffections ofthe Stomach and Bowels, Dyspepsia, Debility and Irritation,Chronic Constipation, Chronic Diarrhoea and Dyspepsia; Chronic Affec-tions of the Liver, Enlargements of Glands, and Affections of the Throat;certain affections of the Kidneys—Uric Acid, Gravel, and PhosphaticDeposits ; Chronic Rheumatism, and Scrofulous and Consumptive Dis-eases.

This Spring Water will compare most favorably with the celebratedBedford, Bethesda and Buffalo Lithia Waters. It is the only water inthis country known to contain Nitric Acid, Strontia and Chlorine in suchlarge excess, and these constituents make it an exceedingly valuable andremarkable water.

JACKSON PIPER, M. D.

Prof. J. R. Rogers, Ph. D., M. D., of the Examining Corps of theUnited States Patent Office, writes:

“ The ingredients found in the water of the Strontia Spring, par-ticularly the Bicarbonate and Sulphate of Strontium, may be regarded asa boon which nature has conferred upon suffering humanity. These ingre-dients are valuable remedial agents in the treatment of diseased conditionsof the Kidneys, Liver, Stomach and other digestive organs, and they areparticularly potent when held in solution in natural waters. The phos-phoric acid, which is found in the water of the Strontia Spring, is alsobeneficial in the treatment of derangements of the nervous system.”

Daniel J. Kelly, A. M., M. D., late Professor of Chemistry in theUniversity of Georgetown, Washington, D. C., writes :

“ From a comparison of Dr. Simon’s analysis of the BrooklandvilleSpring Water with more than a hundred analyses of famous mineralsprings, it appears that the water in question is remarkably rich in nitratesof sodium and potassium, and in salts of Strontium.”

In offering this extraordinary water to the public, the StrontiaMineral Spring Co. desire to call attention to a significant fact, viz.that a large proportion of the testimonials to the efficacy of the water asa remedial age?it are given by eminent physicians and citizens of promi-nence residing in the city and vicinity of Baltimore ; and that its highcharacter as a Table Water is vouched for by the leading hotel proprietorsand restaurant keepers of that city. Therefore the Strontia MineralSpring Co. feel warranted in asserting that a water so well endorsed athome is well worthy of the fullest confidence of the public.

In proof of the absolute purity of the water and absence of organicmatter, testimony is offered to the fact that after remaining three years in abarrel, it was found to be as pure as when originally taken from the Spring.

Strontia Water will give immediate relief in Sick Headaches.It will cure the most obstinate cases of Dyspepsia.It will positively cure Diabetes, Albuminuria, and all curable affections

of the Kidneys.It will cure Gout and Rheumatism.It will relieve any disordered condition of the Liver, Stomach and

Bowels.It will restore the Tone of the Stomach and increase the appetite.It will be found of great service in Scrofulous Affections and Weakness

of the Lungs.Strontia Water, while possessing astonishing curative properties, is,

especially in its highly effervescent state, a delightful and refreshing bever-age, promoting digestion. Carbonic acid gas, taken in moderate quantities,is known to have a salutary effect upon the stomach and mucous mem-branes, exciting the torpid digestive organs to action, and removing nausea.

Strontia is distinctively a Table Water. It is entirely free fromsulphate of lime. As a diluent for wines and liquors it stands pre-eminent.In the words of a distinguished physician, whose letter appears within, itis “ a light, agreeable and useful water for invalids, as well as for those,

apparently in good health, who find other waters difficult to digest, ordisagreeable to the taste.”

DIRECTIONS FOR MEDICINAL USE.Persons who use mineral water as a remedial agent must bear in mind

the fact that it is seldom resorted to except in chronic cases, and are frequently-disappointed if they do not receive immediate relief from a single gallon orless. To such we say, do not use StrontiaWater. Sometimes the effectof a few glasses is entirely the reverse of that expected. The system mustbe impregnated with the mineral properties to insure success. Conse-quently, the water should be taken from two to eight weeks, to the extent

offrom four to eight glasses per day, from one to two glasses being alwaystaken before breakfast. In cases of Diarrhoea or Dysentery half a glass ata time. Oppression after eating will generally be relieved by a glass ofthe water. To teething children, it should be given in small quantities,very frequently, during the day. It will be found to promptly relieve theirritation of the stomach.

Medical Certificates.As a Tonic and Diuretic.

IV. C. Van Bibber, M. D., 47 Franklin St., Baltimore.“ I have used the Strontia Spring Water, and found it a light,

agreeable and useful water for invalids, as well as for those, apparently ingood health, who find other waters difficult to digest, or disagreeable tothe taste.

“ The analysis of this water shows that it may possess unusually usefulproperties. The presence of the Chlorideof Calcium and of the Bicarbonateof Strontium, together with small quantities of the Bicarbonate of Iron andPhosphoric Acid, will at once give it a high position in the estimation ofall physicians as a decided tonic and diuretic, and one particularly usefulin many diseases unusually prevalent at the present day."

Diabetes, Kidney Diseases, Dyspepsia, Liver Affections, &c.James E. Dwindle, M. D., 299 E. Baltimore St., Baltimore.

“ During the past three years I have had considerable experience intesting the medical virtues of your Strontia Water. I am free to sayit is far superior to any similar waters I know of, in airing such a varietyofailments. To the medical profession I do most cordially recommendStrontia Water as an invaluable adjunct in the treatment of Albumi-nuria, Diabetes and Kidney diseases generally ; also in many forms ofDyspepsia, complicated with Liver afifection.”

Stomach and Kidneys, Gout and Rheumatism.R. H. Goldsmith, M. D. (late Physician to Bayview Asylum of the City

ofBaltimore), cor. Harlem Ave. and Calhouri St, Baltimore.“ For several years I have used your Spring Water in my profes-

sional mission, and it affords me pleasure to do justice to its remarkablemedicinal qualities. For diseases of the Stomach and Kidneys, or for Goutand Rheumatism, Iknow no combination, in art and nature, more capableof affording relief. In my own practice I have used it freely, and alwayswith benefit.”

Acid Dyspepsia and Gastric Catarrh.f. H. Grimes, M. D., 259 Maryland Ave., Baltimore.

“ As you have very generously given me every facility in your powerto test for myself the merits of the Strontia Water which you are nowrapidly and extensively introducing to the public, I take pleasure inattesting to its undoubted efficiency in the following conditions in which Ihave tried it, both on myself and others, viz. Acid Dyspepsia, GastricCatarrh, and in some of the excesses of diet so often indulged in by manyof the human family. Being fully satisfied of the above, I unhesitatinglycommend it to those thus afflicted.”

Dyspepsia; Renal, Hepatic and other Organic and FunctionalDisturbances.

fos. Lloyd Martin, M. D. , 38 Mount Vernon Place,Baltimore.

“ The Strontia Water from the farm of O. P. Macgill, Esq., is, Ibelieve, a valuable medicinal water, acting as an alterative and resolvent. Itis therefore capable of reaching, curatively, many forms of Dyspepsia,Renal, Hepatic and other Organic and Functional disturbances. It hasbeen used with much satisfaction and relief by a member of my family.”

Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Urinary Organs.Chas. G. W. Macgill, M. D., Catonsville

,Baltimore Co., Md., one of the

Trustees of the State Insane Asylum.“After prescribing Strontia Water in my practice and in my own

family for the past four months, I am pleased to say that I regard it as amost valuable medicinal water. Its alterative, antacid, tonic and diureticproperties are positive, and I therefore found great benefit in its use indiseased conditions of the Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Urinary Organs.To all persons affected with any of the above diseases or their kindred,I confidently recommend it.”

Stomach Particularly.

f. Robert Ward, M. D., Govanstown, Baltimore Co., Md., late Presidentof the Board of Health of the State of Maryland.

“ I have ordered the use ofyour StrontiaWater in a case I have hadunder my care for the past two years; the patient, during that time, hasbeen suffering from a complication of diseases, inability to take food or usewater having caused great distress and emaciation. The water from yourspring has been drank freely and without any discomfort, and digestion hasbeen decidedly better than for the past two years. In diseases of thestomach particularly, the water will be found highly beneficial.”

Dyspepsia and Rheumatism.f. H. farrett, M. D., Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., late Medical

Examinerfor the U. S. Government, in the State of Maryland.“ I take pleasure in testifying to the good effects of your Strontia

Water in Dyspepsia. My daughter has been using the water for thisdisease, and has derived immeasurable relief from it, and is now almostentirely restored to health. The Strontia Water certainly contains excellentmedicinal properties, and I consider it a valuable beverage for Dyspepticand Rheumatic subjects. ”

Dyspepsia, Liver and Kidneys.W. G. Register, M. D., cor. Fayette and Calhoun Sts., Baltimore, Secretary

of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland.“ During the past year I have been using your StrontiaWater quite

extensively in my practice, and have had very good effects from it in thetreatment of Dyspepsia, and in Liver and Kidney troubles. Its alterative,antacid and diureticproperties are most decided. I consider it one of themost valuable medicinal waters we have.”

Nervous Dyspepsia and Paralysis of Kidneys.G. H. Cairnes , M.D., Woodberry ,

Baltimore Co., Md.“ Three months ago I ordered Strontia Water for a patient I have

had under my treatment for the past nine months. She suffers withNervous Dyspepsia, with all its distressing accompaniments, complicatedwith Paralysis of Kidneys ; resulting in complete suppression of urine.Inasmuch as suppression has on more occasions than one continued with-out interruption for eight days, I think it a very remarkable case. She isnow using the water, all other remedies are stopped, and her condition ismuch better than it has been for the last nine months. For the past fourweeks she has been out of bed three or four hours each day. From thedecided beneficial effect in the above case, I feel justified in recommendingthe water to the profession as a valuable remedial agent, and to all suffer-ing with disease of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys or Bowels.”

Dyspepsia and Rheumatism.H. M. Ewing, M. D., Mt. Washington, Baltimore Co., Md.

“ Within the past two years I have given your Strontia Water a veryfair trial, and my experience with it has been most satisfactory. I deem itan important therapeutic agent, especially in Dyspepsia, accompanied byacidity of the stomach, and also in Rheumatism. I cheerfully recom-mend it.”

8

As an Antacid and Diuretic.

W. H. Worthington, M. D., Ellicott City, Howard Co., Md.“ I have suffered from periodical Dyspepsia for over forty years. I

used a few gallons of your Strontia Water last summer with decided relief.Its antacid and diureticproperties are positive. I cheerfully and highlyrecommend its use to all persons suffering from diseases of the Stomachand Kidneys.”

Nervous Dyspepsia.I. D. Thompson, M. D., Physician to Mount Hope Insane Asylum,

Baltimore Co., Md.“ During the past year I have carefully tested the valueofyour Mineral

Water as a cure for Dyspepsia, having used it quite frequently in my privatepractice, and also in the Insane Asylum with which I am connected. Myobservation has convinced me beyond a doubt that in those cases ofNervousDyspepsia attended with acrid eructations, nausea and sick headache,the Strontia Water possessespositive curative qualities.”

Atonic Dyspepsia.

Jackson Piper, M. D., Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.“ I have obtained great relief from Atonic Dyspepsia by the use of

the Strontia Spring Water.”

All Forms of Dyspepsia.

R. W. Young, M. D., Washington, D. C.“ I am in receipt of the Strontia Water ordered by my son for me. It

gives me pleasure to state that I have found great relief from the use of it,and I earnestly recommend it to all who are suffering under any of theforms of Dyspepsia.”

Dyspepsia, Gout and Rheumatism.

J. Ridgely Hammond, M. D., 296 Hollins St., Baltimore.“ Seeing by the merest accident an analysis of a sample of your

Strontia Spring Water, by Prof. W. Simon, and noting the large numberof valuable medicinal properties it contained, I determined to try thewater in several dyspeptic, gouty and rheumatic cases then (six monthsago) under treatment, and I take pleasure in stating that in every case inwhich I made use of the water, possessing as it unmistakably does,alterative, tonic, antacid, antiseptic and aperient properties, I have witnesseddecided beneficial results.”

General Endorsement.Lewis M. Eastman , M. D., 349 Lexington St., Baltimore.

“ I have used myself and prescribed for others, the Strontia SpringWater, and am pleased to endorse all that has been said in its favor. Itis pleasant to the taste, agreeable to the stomach, and beneficial to thehealth.”

Diabetes—Remarkable Cure.Hon. E. J. Heyikle, M. D., Baltimore , Md., State Senator, and for three

consecutive terms Member of Congressfrom the FifthCongressional District of Maryland.

“ Physicians, as a rule, never give certificates recommending nostrumsor secret remedies. I have never given a recommendation ofany such, butI consider the Strontia Water an exception to the rule, being a product ofnature. In justice to the suffering and to you, I feel it to be a duty to certifyto the wonderful efficacy of this water.

“ I am naturally, and from observation, inclined to question the claimsofmost mineral waters to the wonderful curative powers claimed for them ;but I have witnessed the action of this, and can no longer doubt.

“ Mr. William L. Thomas, whose letter you have, is my nephew. I tookgreat interest in his case, and was deeply solicitous about him. Physicians oflarge experience and undoubted skill pronounced his case a hopeless one;and his rapidly failing strength and emaciated condition surely indicatedthat he was not farfrom the grave.

“ Fortunately, while in this condition, he was induced, without myknowledge, to make trial of the Strontia Water, and I am happy to say ithas had a miraculous effect ufon him. If not fully cured, he is surelybetter than he has been for years, and I believe a continued use of thewater will restore his health entirely. From the history of this remarkablecase, I feel justified in freely recommending its use to others similarlyaffected. You are at liberty to use this as you deem best.”

Case above Referred to.William L. Thomas

, Machinery Department , Baltimore and OhioRailroadCo., residence, 211 Franklin Street

,Baltimore.

“ I have been using your Strontia Water for the past four months, andI feel safe in saying I have improved wonderfully during that time. Youwill remember I have the Diabetes and Kidney trouble, and have been amiserable sufferer for three years, and after I had been using the water forone month I found my health improving, and I am in splendid health atthis time-, and feel sure that I will soon be well, as the pains in my back andside have entirely gone ; but I will continue with the water that I may besure that I am cured. I also found since I have been using the water that

10

I have been cured of the Dyspepsia. I have two friends that have Kidneytrouble, and I have urged upon them to use the water; which they are nowdoing, and with success, as the pains have gone, and, as in my case, theycan sleep and eat with the same pleasure as before they had the trouble. Iconsider the Strontia Water a specific in the cure of Diabetes, and wouldtake great pleasure in giving my opinion to any one; so should you havesuch persons, please send them to me, and I will warrant they will soonbe convinced. I now weigh 127 lbs., and last August my weight was 90 lbs.”

Since the above letter was written, Mr. Thomas has passed the medicalexamination, and been admitted as a member, of the Baltimore and OhioRelief Association, one of the strictest life insurance organizations extant.

TESTIMONIALS FROM PROMINENT AND WELL-KNOWN CITIZENS.

Chronic Dyspepsia.W. H. Carpenter, Senior Editor of the Baltimore Sun.

“ If my opinion of your Strontia Water is of any value, either to youor to the great army ol dyspeptics, it is at your service. I give it the morefreely because I was at first prejudiced against it, and after trying it a fewtimes threw it aside as not adapted to my case, which was one of ChronicDyspepsia of several years’, or rather of many years’, standing. Subse-quently, I was induced by a friend, whom the water had greatly benefited,to give it a second and more thorough trial. After using it exclusively fordrinking purposes for several months, the change in my condition becameso marked, and the improvement in appetite and power of digestion somanifest, that I feel safe in saying that the Strontia Water comes morenearly to the nature of a specific in cases of Dyspepsia than any other ofthe multitude of remedial agents recommendedfor thatparticular malady.In all cases of simple Dyspepsia, and in many that have assumed a chronicform, I should say, from my own experience, that steady persistence in theuse of the Strontia Water, with due attention to diet, will effect a perfectcure.”

As a Solvent.C, Morton Stewart , Se?iior Member of the Firm of C. Morton Stewart

& Co., Baltimore.“ It is with much pleasure that I add my testimony to that of the many

who have recommended the use of Strontia Water to their friends. Insome cases I consider it a specific remedy, whereas, as a delightful solvent,I think it a most valuable water.”

11

Kidneys.

George G. Presbury, Baltimore, late one of the Proprietors of the WestEnd Hotel, Lang Branch.

“ I leave here for Long Branch on the 1st of May, to remain untilNovember 1st. Please send me one barrel of your Strontia Spring Water,so as to arrive there before I do. I have been using the water only abouteight weeks, and have received the greatest amount of benefit from it. MyKidney affliction has been entirely relieved, and my general health has notbeen so good for ten years, all of which I attribute to the use of thisvaluable water.”

Kidneys and Stomach.f. E. R. Crabbe, of the Firm of fohnson, Sutton df Co., Wholesale Dry

Goods and Notion House, 27 and 29 S. Sharp St., Baltimore.“ For a period of over two years I was a sufferer with what was pro-

nounced Dyspepsia and an affection of the Kidneys. I was feeble, had anexcessively disagreeable sensation about my head-Mndescribable—butfeeling as if it was in a partly closed vise, producing something like vertigo,and accompanied by a loss of my usual good flow ofspirits. So great wasthe depression, I had concluded that I could not live but for a short period,when a friend suggested the use of the Strontia Water from your place.I obtained a barrel of it, which I found so palatable that I used it in theplace of hydrant water for a week or two, after which I drank but a coupleof glasses daily. Before the contents of the barrel were more than halfconsumed, I was completely restored, but finding it the best remedy forDyspepsia I know, I intend never to be without it.”

Disordered Kidneys.L. P. D. Newman, Attorney at Law, 25 Lexington St., Baltimore.

“ Since 1865 I have at times suffered the most excruciating pain froma derangement of my Kidneys. My physicians pronounced it gravel.The diagnosis was correct, as the calculi so frequently passed but tooclearly demonstrated. But within two or three years past there has beenan absence of calculi, but an increase, if possible, of pain in the Kidneys,and in the locality of the neck of the Bladder. I will not attempt to depictthe acute, cutting, bearing down pain and agony this ailment has entailedupon me, for language is inadequate to express it; but those who havebeen tortured by disordered Kidneys will fully appreciate my condition.Morphine, Chloriodine and Chloral, in turn, have signally failed to allaypain resulting from this disorder. A very hot bath, which formerly hadthe effect of relaxing the system during these paroxysms of suffering, hasceased to be efficacious. My good Dr. R. H. Goldsmith induced me totry the virtues of Strontia Water, which, I am happy to say, affordsme entire relief within ten minutes, arid has in no instance failed me."

12

Chronic Dyspepsia; Kidneys.T. C. Norton, D. D. S., Colton Dental Association, 81 Fayette St.,

Baltimore.“ With pleasure I give you the result of my experience with your

Strontia Spring Water. I regard it as one of the most valuable remedialagents I have ever used. Having tried all the other well-known mineralwaters, and derived very little, if any, benefit from their use, I determinedto try Strontia in my case, which was one of Chronic Dyspepsia of manyyears’ duration, attended with a nervous affection ofone of my limbs, whichprobably resulted from some derangement of my kidneys. After using thewater freely for two months, I am happy to say it has restored me toperfect health.”

Dyspepsia.N. F. Blacklock , member of the Firm of A. R. Blacklock & Co., Paper

Manufacturers and Dealers, Baltimore.

“ I cordially and truthfully endorse Dr. J. Piper in his praise of thevirtues of the Strontia Spring Water. It is a superior water and possessesall the curative properties as claimed. I have been a sufferer for years fromthat terrible Dyspepsia, and must say I have experienced more relief fromthe Strontia than from any other remedy that I have taken. I hope youwill make arrangements for visitors. I have no doubt you would havemore demand than you could supply. I shall be pleased to be interviewedat any time at your instance.”

A Delightful Water. A Home Necessity. Sweet after RemainingTwo Years in a Barrel.

D. W. Glass, Importer and Manufacturer of Cards and Papers, PaperDealer and Stationer

, 19 S'. Charles Street, Baltimore.“We have used your Strontia Water for years, and find it a home

necessity. My wife and children enjoy it, and find it a pleasure and relief.I also have a barrel for store use. W e find it a specific, and cordiallyrecommend it to any who wish a delightful water. In an old barrel, keptin the cellar for about two years, the water found in it seemed as sweet asif just sent us.”

Liver and Stomach.John P. Ringgold, Gentlemen's Furnishing Store, N Charles St.,

Baltimore.“ The water I used from your Spring has had the most happy effect

on my Liver and Stomach. I have used about all the known mineralwaters and have received more benefit from the Strontia Water thanfrom any of them. I can freely recommend it to the afflicted. It lightensup the system and makes one feel renewed.”

13

Stomach and Kidneys. Further Testimony to the KeepingProperties of the Water. Pure after Three

Years in Wood.Christopher Shaw, Shaw's Cottage Hotel, 21 N High Street, Baltimore.

“ In the summer of 1877 I purchased from you a barrel of StrontiaWater. I used it myself and gave a quantity of it to my friends, whowere, like myself, suffering from affections of Stomach and Kidneys, and inevery instance the result from its use has been most satisfactory; and one ofthe most remarkable things in regard to the water is the fact that whatremains in the barrel is as pure and delightful to drink as it was when Ireceived it from you three years ago.”

Indigestion, Liver and Kidney Disorders.Robert S. Corse, an Ex- Commissioner ofBaltimore County, Md., residing

at Owings Mills, said County.“ I have suffered for several years, the cause ofwhich I think proceeded

from my Liver not being in active state. I tried all kinds of remedies andmedicines that were suggested, but only received partial relief. My appe-tite was very poor, I was restless at night, and always felt badly in themorning, and could scarcely eat any breakfast. I concluded last summer,at the request of a friend, to try the Strontia Water, which I did usefreely, and am to-day entirely relieved and well. I believe this to be avaluable mineral water, and would advise all suffering with Indigestion,Liver or Kidney diseases to use this water freely, and the result they willnot regret.”

Irritative Dyspepsia and Sick Headache.D. Hopper Emory, Attorney at Law, St. Paul St., Baltimore, Md.“ I am a great sufferer from Irritative Dyspepsia, obtaining temporary

relief from the use of drugs. I was induced to try the Strontia SpringWater, and am confident it has not only done me good, but feel animprovement that promises a permanent cure. The water never fails togive me relieffrom Sick Headache.”

Rheumatism.

Mrs. P. H. Walker, wife of Hon. P. H. Walker, one of the Electors ofPresident Cleveland; Director in the Baltimore and Ohio

Railroad Co. on the part of the State of Maryland.“ I feel it my duty to the public, as well as to yourself, to give my

testimony in regard to the effects of Strontia Water in Rheumatism.During the last winter and spring I suffered very much from this mostpainful disease, and when I met you at the well some time in April last, and

14

you recommended Strontia, with the assurance that its use would very sooneffect a perfect cure, I must confess I was very skeptical about the result.A very few days’ free use of the water convinced me that you were correct;it has not only entirely relieved me of Rheumatism, but my general healthhas not been so good for several years, all of which I attribute to the use ofStrontia Water. I wish you great success in introducing it to the public.”

Rheumatism. Extraordinary Case.F. W. Ulrich, Boot and Shoe Manufacturer, 113 N. CalvertStreet, Balti-

more, at whichplace of business he has been located 40 years.“ With much pleasure I testify to the great merits of your Strontia

Water. I was afflicted with acute Rheumatism to such an extent that mylimbs were entirely useless without the aid of crutches. Major JohnWright,of Rockland, Baltimore County, recommended to me the use of StrontiaWater from your farm. I sent for a few gallons, and after drinking it freelyfor two or three days I threw aside my crutches, and was entirely relievedof all pain and difficulties. I regard the water as a specific in Rheuma-tism, judging from its remarkable effects in my own case.”

Rheumatism, Sour Stomach.Maj. John Wright, Proprietor of one of the most extensive Bleach Works

in the United States, at Rockland, Baltimore County, Md.“ I have been using the Strontia Water found on your farm near

Brooklandville about six months. When I commenced to use the waterit was for Sour or Acid Stomach, and after having used it for some timewith good effect, I found I was also relieved of Rheumatism, to which Ihad been subject for some years. About two months ago I stopped usingthe water, but in a few weeks I had a return of the pains. I procuredmore of the water, and in a few days I was relieved again.”

Rheumatism.Joseph Riddlemoser, of thefirms of Riddlemoser & Weatherley,

Coachmakers, and Joseph Riddlemoser & Co., LiveryStable Proprietors, Baltimore, Md.

“ For several years I have suffered with Rheumatism, having tried manyremedies without any apparent relief. I have used the Strontia Waterwith great relief and satisfaction, and freely recommend it to all afflictedwith Rheumatism and Indigestion.”

Dyspepsia and Kindred Diseases, Piles.

J A. Cowardin, Editor Richmond Despatch, Richmond, Va.“I have used the Strontia Water, and I am sure it has benefited

me in a general sense. It is a fine water for persons afflicted with feebleness,

15

Dyspepsia and kindred diseases, preserving the general tone of the systemand giving health when it is much wanted. I have reason to believe it isalso a remedy in other annoying diseases, such as Piles.”

Diabetes, Dyspepsia and Peritonitis.James Duff’ Notion and Stationery Dealer

, 115 S. Broadivay, Baltimore.“ Having been so greatly benefited by the use ofStrontia Water, I

think it but performing an imperative duty to those who are in the same con-dition as I have been in, to write you this. I suffered with pain in the backand loins, and at times also in the groin, and at all times was unable tohold my water more than one hour, mostly not over half that time, and if Ihad caught any cold not more than fifteen minutes, with a constant desire tourinate frequently, making more than half a gallon of water in one night.I had tried doctors until I was tired of it. I had become so bad that whenI laid down at night I would for perhaps two hours have to get up everyten minutes, and never could sleep for more than a half hour. I had alsolost weight rapidly—from 212 pounds to 180 pounds in about two months.I at last called on Dr. Dwindle, who pronounced my complaint a decidedcase of diabetes, and, without any other prescription, told me to use StrontiaWater, which I at once began to do. I had not used one gallon before Ifelt relief, and gained in weight again, and my color, which had begun tobe white or rather tallow color, is again natural. I do not hesitateto say that had it not been for the water I would not to-day behere to write you this. I have also given and sold the water to quite anumber of people for Kidney complaints, Dyspepsia, &c., and my owndaughter has used it after being a long time down with Peritonitis; and inevery case it has done much good.”

Baltimore County , Md.“ Having been greatly benefited by the use of your Strontia Water

in my late attack of Rheumatic Gout, I desire to testify my belief in itscurative qualities. During my indisposition I suffered with Heartburn orWater-Brash, causing sleepless nights and Headaches, until I was inducedto use the water. I can now speak favorably of its healing qualities. Ihave also noticed its beneficial effects upon one of my family, who has beenentirely relieved of Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, and upon another whohas been relieved of inflammation of the eyes.”

Paralysis, Constipation and Rheumatism.Washington Piper ,

Towsontown, Balthnore County,Md.

“ I take great pleasure in testifying, from my own knowledge, to thegreat efficacy of the valuable water lately discovered on your farm in Balti-more County. I have used it several months for a combination of diseases,viz., Constipation, Rheumatism and Paralysis. From the two first-nameddiseases I have been a sufferer for fifteen years, and from the last, elevenyears. I can say that the water has so greatly relieved me that I am now freefrom all aches or pains since its use, and look for a permanent cure. Inotice a great improvement also in my Paralysis, in the better use of mylimbs. My whole system seems to have undergone a change for the better,my health is improved, and everything I eat seems to agree with me.”

Paralysis, Kidney Disease and Dyspepsia.

Joseph M. Stevens, Richmond,

Va.“ I have found great benefit from the use of the Strontia Water in

Kidney disease, and in great debility, bordering on Paralysis. My wifehas been suffering for years with Dyspepsia, and has received more relieffrom this water than from any medicine she has tried. I have also recom-mended it to my friends, who bear the same testimony to its beneficialeffects.”

Headache, Kidney Complaint and Disordered Stomach.Samuel K. Forsyth , Dining Saloon , 518 10th Street, Washington ,

C.“ For several months my health was so impaired that I could scarcely

get about. I suffered with severe headaches two or three days or nightsevery week ; also had Kidney trouble of a dangerous character, and acutepains in my stomach and bowels. 1 had tried almost everything in thecatalogue of medicines, and had about made up my mind that physicianswere humbugs and that I would ‘ throw physic to the dogs ’ and trust

17

nature to cure or kill me. In this happy frame of mind I ran across myfriend, Dr. Waggaman, one of our first-class druggists on Pennsylvaniaavenue. He kindly suggested to me to try the Strontia Water. To bebrief, I drank two or three glasses a day, until I have used about twelvegallons. I am free from Headaches, free from Kidney trouble, free fromall Stomach and Bowel difficulties, and my general health is better than ithas been for over a year. I leave it for yourself and others to judge whathas cured me. What the water will do for others afflicted as I was Icannot say, but it fits my case exactly, and I would not be without it.Scarcely any person will take certificates of this character for more thanten cents on the dollar. All I can say is, that I have simply written facts;and for the benefit of skeptics (to which class I myself belong), that I haveno pecuniary interest in your spring of Strontia Water. I wish I had, forI sincerely believe it will be, in the not distant future, one of the mostpopular mineral springs on this continent.”

Nervous Headaches, etc.

W. I. Ge?itry, Cor. 26th and M Streets, Richmond, Va.“ It gives me great pleasure to recommend your most invaluable water,

known as Strontia, to all suffering humanity. For the last twelve or thir-teen years, my wife, Mrs. Octavia A. Gentry, has been a great sufferer (andfor four years I carried her up and down the steps in my arms) with theKidney and Bladder disease, Indigestion and general debility. She alsosuffered intensely with Pain in the Back and Nervous Headache. Herdisease baffled the skill of her attending physicians, who said that they hadnever seen or heard of such an aggravated case. In the last three or fourmonths she was advised to try your most invaluable Spring Water, andbefore she used one gallon she commenced to improve. It gave her anappetite, relieved her Headache, and she never suffers with any Pain inthe Back, and her digestion is good; and I may add, she is like anotherwoman. I have recommended it to others suffering in similar ways, and itacts like a charm upon them. Under the circumstances, I cannot say toomuch in behalf of your invaluable water, and would particularly recom-mend it to all suffering females.”

Calculus or Gravel.

Capt. John R. King, an officer in the Baltimore Custom House, Residence136 IV. Madison St., Baltimore.

“ Having been a great sufferer for some years with Nephritic trouble,and used diligently a great many medicinal waters, including BuffaloLithia, Bedford, Bethesda and Deep Rock, without any apparent results, Iwas induced by my physician to try the Strontia Water. I commenced

18

to use it in September last and, I am happy to say, with the most satisfactoryand positive results. In two weeks from the time I began its use Ipasseda very large-sized calculus, and have had no return of those fearfulparoxysms of pain incident to that disease. I believe the trouble has goneto stay. My general health has greatly improved, and I have gained 15pounds in weight.”

Kidney Diseases, Piles, Sick Headache.Samuel Gover Wilson, Auctioneer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.

“Having suffered severely for many years with a disease of the Kid-neys and also with Piles and constant Headaches, I must return you mysincere thanks for the use of your invaluable Strontia Water, which youso kindly permitted me to obtain from your farm, as it has been the meansof relieving me of all these troublesome afflictions and restoring me toperfect health.”

Paralysis, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, etc.Frank L. Morling, Editor Woodberry News, Baltimore County, Md.

“ In reply to your enquiry as to the effects ofStrontia Water in myfamily, permit me to say that we used it with most wonderful results. Mrs.Morling, who has been afflicted with a complication of diseases, amongthem partial Paralysis and Constipation, which were attended with severeHeadaches, used the water freely, and had no Headache, was free fromConstipation, and walked better and with more ease than she ever didbefore using the water. Friends visiting my house have been muchbenefited by the use of the water. While using the water I have beenentirely free from Dyspepsia, by which disease I have been a great sufferer.For Rheumatism, Constipation, Indigestion and Headache, I consider,from experience, Strontia a perfect cure. I hope our people will give itgeneral use, for I know that it will do them great good.”

Hon. John R. Clark, late District Attorney, Howard Co., Md.; late StateSenator; Ellicott City , Howard Co., Md.

19“ As a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia of long standing, producing

Indigestion, Liver and Kidney troubles, I can conscientiously recommendit to all afflicted.

Second District of Maryland ; residing in Lutherville,Baltimore Co., Md.

Before using the water shewas very much exhausted from total loss of appetite and depression ofspirits. After drinking the water some two or three weeks, she wasentirely restored to health, and gained about twenty pounds in weight.”

As a Nervine, Tonic and Diuretic.Rev. James B. Avirett, Rectory of Silver Spring Parish, Montgomery

County, Maryland.“ I think 1 can safely say that I have made a fair trial of the water

Dyspepsia.

John H. Scharf, Ice Dealer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.“ I cannot find words too strong to express my opinion of the value of

your Mineral Water in cases of Dyspepsia. I am sure that I have sufferedwith Dyspepsia for the past twenty years, tried every known remedy, andhave had the advice of eminent physicians, whofinally gave iip my case as

21

hopeless. I was confined for nearly two years to a diet ofcracked wheat andtea. I commenced using your Mineral Water about three or four monthssince, and the result has been truly remarkable. Iam to-day in as perfecthealth as I have ever known in my life. I can eat any kind of food withimpunity, and weigh more now than I ever have before. All of which Iattribute entirely to the use of the Strontia Water.”

Headaches.Charles B. McClean,for the last twelveyears Surveyor ofBaltimore Co.,

Md., residing in Towsontown.“ I take pleasure in testifying to the excellence and efficiency of the

Strontia Water lately discovered on your farm. I used it, with uniformand invariable success, during severe and frequently recurring attacks ofHeadaches, which, however, have been of rare occurrence since I havebeen using the remedy mentioned.”

Dyspepsia and Neuralgia of the Stomach, Sick Headache,Heartburn.

Mrs. Jennie E. King, Brooklandville, Baltimore Co., Md.“ I have been suffering for three years with the Dyspepsia and Neuralgia

of the Stomach, and have tried six different physicians, but none of themhave ever cured me. Since I have been drinking pretty freely of theStrontia Water I have found it to do me more good than all the doctors’medicines I have ever taken. For Sick Headache and Heartburn I don’tthink there is anything that can equal the Strontia Water. I find it hasdone me much good in a great many ways.”

Sick Headaches.Charles W. Lee, Merchant, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.

“ I desire to give my testimony in regard to your Strontia Water. Incases of Sick Headaches it gives almost instant relief. I speak frompersonal experience.”

Dyspepsia.

W H. Goodwin, Farmer, Texas, Baltimore Co., Md.

“ I think it my duty to testify to the benefit my wife has received fromthe use of your Strontia Water. For many years before and after hermarriage she has been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia. The use of thewater she obtained from you has not only relieved her, but has effected apermanent cure.”

22Tendency to Bright’s Disease.

Charles Hamilton, Florist, Waverly, Baltimore Co., Md.“ I have been afflicted with a disease of the Kidneys since 1861. I

was at that time under the care of physicians, who used variqus remedies,sometimes as many as a half-dozen cups at a time, which would give metemporary relief. Their opinion was that my case had a tendency toBright’s Disease. I have had a number of physicians attending me sincewithout being able to effect a cure. I concluded to try Strontia Water, andI can fully testify to the fact that the use of the water has entirely relievedme of all pain and trouble, which all other remedies, both internal andexternal, utterly failed to accomplish, and I have no doubt I am entirelycured. I can also fully testify to the great benefit my daughter has receivedin a very violent case of Dyspepsia, and also in regard to the generalbenefit derived by some of my neighbors to whom I gave some of thewater. By reference to me their names and diseases will be furnished.”

Liver and Kidneys.

Daniel C. Grey, Farmer, Brooklandville, Baltimore Co., Md.“ It gives me great pleasure to testify to the benefit my wife has

derived from the use of the water obtained from your place, which, Iunderstand, you have named Strontia Water. She had been, for someseven or eight years, a very great sufferer from an affection of the Liverand Kidneys, which produced utter prostration. She had the advice ofeminent physicians, but was unable to obtain relief. In the fall of 1876 shewas so reduced as to be unable to leave her room, and so continued untilthis spring. About the early part of April she commenced using the water,and in about six weeks she gained some ten or twelve pounds in weight,was enabled to attend to her household duties with an entirely restoredhealth, and has so continued to the present time, which we attribute to theuse of the water.”

Dyspepsia.

William Arnold, Cooper, 240 Co?iway Si., Baltimore.

“ I have been for many years one of the greatest sufferers withDyspepsia in this city, and have spent hundreds of dollars in medicinesand advice, but without being able to receive any relief; and I can trulysay your Strontia Water has done wonders for me in the short time I havebeen using it, which has been about two or three months, and I feel assuredthat it has effected a permanent cure. I am now about 20 pounds heavierthan when Icommenced the use of the water."

23

Kidney DiseaseGeorge Williams, Farmer, Davidsonville, Anne Arundel Co., Md.“ I feel it my duty, for the sake of others who may be similarly affected,

to say that the Strontia Water which I have been using, at the advice ofmy physician, for Kidney troubles has given me the desired relief. Forthe past six weeks I have had no return of them.”

Dyspepsia.William Grason, Attorney at Law, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., now

associated with hisfather, Hon. Richard Grason, late fusticeof the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland.

Attorney at Law and State Senatorfor Baltimore Co., Md.,residing in Towsontown.

“ By mere accident I took your Strontia Water, and its effects on myhealth have been so markedly favorable that I feel in my duty bound to giveyou this certificate. For a long time I have been suffering from Dyspepsia,which rendered my life miserable. Mrs. Slingluff, with whom I live, gotsome of your mineral water, and I took a glass before each meal; I founddecided relief after using it two or three days, and have continued toimprove steadily. I do believe it to be a complete cure for my disease, andadvise any person who may read this to give it a trial.

BABETTA SCHWAPPACK.”“ The preceding certificate is correct in every respect. The good

effects of the water upon the person in question have been noticed by everymember of my family, and her case was certainly an aggravated one.

C. BOHN SLINGLUFF, Attorney at Law.”

Disease of the Kidneys.

J. Maurice Watkins, Hotel Proprietor, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.“ I desire to testify to the value of your Strontia Water. I have been,

for many years, under medical treatment for diseases of the Kidneys, suf-fering severely with pains about the loins and bladder, causing great weak-ness of the urinary organs, loss of appetite, and generally impaired health.I concluded to try your Strontia Water. I have been using it freely, to the

24exclusion of all other medicine, for the past three or four weeks, and amglad to say it has given me entire relieffrom all trouble, and I believe I amnow in perfect health in every respect.”

As a Diuretic and Vermifuge.R. Ridgely Ware, Coal Dealer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.“ A severe cold fell upon my Kidneys, producing great pain, causing

a large lump to rise on each side of my loins; my urine was of the colorand consistency of molasses. The use ofyour Strontia Water, in less thanthree days, reduced the swelling, relieved the pain, and made my urineclear, without the aid of any other medicine. I also used it with mychild, aged twenty-one months. It had a weakness causing it to vomitevery few minutes. This water checked it, and in less than twenty-fourhours the child was relieved; it brought from its bowels a great manyworms.”

Case of Diabetes.Handy & Rullman, City Drug Store, Annapolis, Md.

“ Please send at once a barrel of Strontia Water. It is for a partyleaving the city on Wednesday. Be sure to send at once. This will makethe third barrel he has used. He had been using Bethesda Water untilwe induced him to try Strontia Water, and he says one barrel of theStrontia is superior, and of more benefit to hiswife, who suffers with Diabetes,than two ofthe Bethesda Water.

“ P. S.—If you wish to use his name you are at liberty to do so.Postmaster Grafton Monroe.' H. & R.”

Dyspepsia, Disordered Kidneys.B. C. Reed, A. M, Principal Woodberry High School, Woodberry,

Baltimore Co., Md.“ I am just from a coterie of gentlemen who were discussing the respec-

tive merits of various medicinal waters. I had no hesitation in affirmingthe superior value of your Strontia Water. You may remember that afew years ago I was reduced from an average weight of two hundredpounds to about one hundred and fifty pounds, with a gradual downwardtendency. Dyspepsia and Disordered Kidneys were at the bottom of mytroubles. I had sought relief in many remedies, allopathic, homeopathic,eclectic, &c., but in vain. At last I tried your Strontia Water. For a whileI tried three glasses of it a day, but experienced no appreciable benefit.Then I doubled the quantity; that is, I took a glass of the water before,and one after, each meal, and I soon realized that I was on the right road.I then resorted to the free use of the water, drinking it exclusively—fulltumblers of it—and frequently during the day. I had found the specific

25

remedy. My health has been better ever since. I use the water only atdistant intervals now, there being no necessity for it. I have scarcely atrace of Dyspepsia and am not troubled at all with Kidney disorder. I amsure that any one suffering from eitherof these complaints cannot fail tobe benefited by the use of Strontia Water. But it must be taken inproper doses.

‘A little Strontia is a useless thing,Drink deep or taste not of the priceless Spring :

Here shallow draughts will not efface our pain,But drinking deeply,brings us health again/ ”

Dyspepsia.

J. K. Anderson , Horseshoer, cor. Paca Street and Cider Alley ,

Baltimore, Md.“ For the past two years I do not believe any one could have suffered

more with that terrible curse to humanity, Dyspepsia, than myself, havingtried about every known remedy, under the advice of the most skilfulphysicians, without being able to obtain relief, and becoming so prostratedfrom inability to eat food or drink water without causing the most intensesuffering from pain and nausea, that I had given up all hope of recovery.In the month of January last I heard of the remarkable cures which wereeffected by the use of the Strontia Water, and as a last resort I determinedto make a trial of it; consequently I abandoned all medicines, and havebeen using it freely since that time, and can truly say the effect has beenwonderful. I am like a new man; everything I eat agrees with me, eventhe richest and heaviest food. I am daily increasing in health andstrength, and am fully convinced that in a short time I shall be in perfecthealth in every respect.”

Sylvester Bowen,

House Painter,

Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md.

“ Feeling truly grateful for the benefit I have received from the useof Strontia Water, I desire to give my testimony in regard to its virtues.Having suffered with the most intense Neuralgic Pain in my Head formore than three months, during which time I was under treatment ofskilled physicians, taking medicine daily, without receiving the slightestrelief, I concluded to try the effect of the water. I purchased five gallons,and drank it freely according to your advice, and in two weeks I wasentirely relieved, and, believe permanently cured, as I have been without areturn of pain for more than six weeks. I attribute my cure entirely tothis invaluable water.”
