Traces Phosphate of soda ... Traces MEDICAL TESTIMONIES: As a pleasant, agreeable and invigorating beverage it is unsurpassed ; as a therapeutic agent we may confidently expect Puriri Water to be equally useful in all cases in which European waters would be prescribed; as a stimulating alterative on the digestive organs In sickness I have found it of great value. It is water which I would recommend frequently. MARTIN H. PAYNE, F.C.S., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S. I find it strongly alkaline, and as an antacid would be useful in dyspepsia, gout, and rhenmatism. When charged with carbonic acid it forms an agreeable effervescing drink. I have personally given the water a trial, and believe it will prove valuable in cases such as those above mentioned. CHARLES F. GOLDSBRO, R.C.P. It promises to be a most useful addition to the means of cure at the command of persons affected by gout in its various forms. It is extremely palatable, and may bo advantageously employed as a beverage by all who are fond of a clear and sparkling drink. Its chemical constitution strongly resembles the waters of Vichy., J. KILGOUB, M.D. Puriri water can be best compared in value ! to the celebrated waters of Kissingen in. . Bavaria, beneficially used in cases of disease* j of the digestive organs. M rated it is a cool- i ing and refreshing drink. B. SCHWABZBACH, M.D. All Orders from Steamers, Hotels, %net Private Fumilies promptly attended Uo.
