Gentlemen: — Enclosed please find the analysis of the sample of Vade Mecum Water which I trust will meet your expectations. You ask me to express my opinion in regard to the value and uses of this water. In compliance to this re- quest, 1 beg to state, that I consider the water very val- uable for the following reasons: — 1st. It is a decidedly palatable water, making it on that account very acceptable. 2d. It has a decided medicinal effect; taken in ordin- ary quantities, a glassful three or four times a day, it will produce in most persons one or two easy evacuations, without griping; and v\ hen taken in large quantities, will produce active purgation. In addition to the above, I believe it to have a decided action on the liver and should produce very beneficial effects in cases of engorgement of that organ on continued use of the water in moderate quantities. I further believe that you will find it to be useful in cases of gouty diathesis and as a general alterative. Trusting the above, in connection with the enclosed analysis, will give you the desired information, I am, Very respectfully yours, HENRY FROEHLING.

F»OSITIVe ReSUL,XS HAVE WO IN VADE; MECUM WA.XER A REPUTATION. 4 THE RCTION OF HINERRL WJ\TERS. FROM AN EMINENT AUTHORITY. "The action of mineral waters may be divided into tlie IMMEDIATE and the REMOTE. The IMMEDIATE action is present as a stimulent, sedative or eliminant, according' to the constitution of the water. The ELIMINANT action results from the effect of the waters on the intestines, kidneys and skin. Waters containing chloride of sodium, sulphate of soda, or sulphate of mag-nesia, in large proportion, act readily on the intestines. The alkaline and calcic waters prove diuretic, some of them stimulating the kid- neys in a marked manner. The REnOTE action of mineral waters is its alterative effect. And this, in the majority of diseases, is by far the most important qualit}'. Alteratives are medicines which in appropriate doses, modify the nutrition of the body without producing any antecedent phe- nomena. This is precisely the result obtained by the long=con = tinued use of mineral waters in moderate doses. As has been before stated, we are only so much water in combination with varied proportions of carbon, oxj'gen, hydro- gen, 'itrogen, chloride of sodium, phosphate of lime, carbonate of lime, carbonate of soda, etc. The water thus combined may be termed. Jhe water of constitution, answering the same pur- pose in rr^ ataining the body in form, that the water of crys- talization does in continuing a crystal in its integrity. For the ordinarj' purposes of quenching thirst we imbibe waters containing a very Minute quantity of mineral ingre- dients ; but when we repair to a mineral fountain for the cure of disease we drink freely of water containing double, treble, quadruple, and even a hundred times, the quantity and number of chemical constituents. The water thus introduced, slowly and regularly penetrates every blood-vessel, capillarj^ and tissue of the bodily structure, gradularly replacing the water of con- stitution, and by its different chemical affinities changing the molecular organism. It is not maintained that all of the constit- uents of the mineral water are retained, doubtless an almost in- finitesimal quantity is incorporated each day, but in the course of weeks there is a decided and radical change — an alterative effect — manifested by increased metamorphosis of tissue, by elimination of poisonous elements, by the cure of disease. All mineral waters produce an alterative action. Is there any difference in this action as it results from various waters? "We answer unhesitatingl)', YES. The alterative effect of alkaline waters exhibits itself in a reduction of the fibrinous elements of the blood — In a modification of the processes which produce lithic acid. Saline waters exert their influence most decidedly on the glandular system. Sulphur waters tend to the skin. Chaly- beate waters effect the red globules of the blood." J' J. J- DR.

Dewey, from New Eng- land, an eminent geologist, said to be a relative of tiie hero of Manila, was prospecting in the Sauratown Moun- tains of Stokes County, N. C. He is believed to have been sent here by the heirs of General Pickering to whom the State of North Carolina had granted 10,000 acres of these wild lands, in recognition ol his services to the cause of Liberty. It was he who found here the mine of ITACOLlMlfE OR FLEXIBLE SANDSTONE and with it this wonderful spring, bursting up through the bed rock of a large creek, 2(3,000 gallons strong per day. His enthusiasm over its incomparable qualities is one of the tra- ditions handed down to the present generation. The creek covered it again. The title to these lands is but lately settled, and the wealth of this discovery remained a sealed book to the innocent denizens of this region. From time to time as the water was accessable it accomplished cures, which if told abroad would have startled the world. Finally in 1900, the closing days of a wonderful century, its owner W. H. Vaden reported such results as to attract attention abroad. Its sale followed at once, and the publication of the analysis on September 14th, 1900, created a profound impression. A strong com- pany began at once the preparation for the throng which a great resort must attract. It is approched by the vSouthern Railway, a few miles North of Rural Hall, N.

U. S. MEANING OF OUR ANALYSIS. The human body, average weight 154 pounds, is com- posed of 38 pounds of dry matter and 116 pounds of water. This proportion must be maintained by taking 75 to 100 ounces of water daily. Failing to do this the body becomes lean, the bowels constipated, the urine high col- ored, the skin dry and sallow, the feet cold, the liver and other organs sluggish and disease a necessary result. In addition to pure water, the human body requires salts, such as sulphate of magnesia, chloride of sodium. calcium chlorine, lithia, etc. to preserve a normal tone and stimulate the secretion of the gastric juices, and excite the peristaltic action of the membranes. All of these we find in the Vade Mecum water, also the carbonates which be- come salts by action of the gastric juices, iron to enrich the blood, purifying sulphates to soothe irritation and allay inflamation, carbonic acid to lighten the pressure, stimu- late and aid digestion. These should be taken to preserve health, and must be taken to restore it. PHYSICANS LAY NO CLAIM TO THE ART OF BLENDING THESE ELEMENTS EQUAL TO THE NATURAL.

"Calcic waters, especially those rich in carbonate of lime and carbonic acid, prove decidedly beneficial in diseases of the urinary apparatus, such as catarrh of the bladder, gravel and calculus, and are even preferable to alkaline waters. They also prove valuable in gastralgic dyspepsia and diabetes mellitus." From Dr. Walton's "Mineral Springs," page 268. Multum in Par^fo.

What we have stated may strike some as exaggeration. If such should be your thought, we can but invite you to read the following estimates put upon it by physicians who have seen, and testimonials of patients who have felt the benefits which cannot be exaggerated. After quite an extended ex^rience of prescribing and notingf results of the various mineral waters, I unhesitatingly think this water the best general renovator and " builder up " of them all. For scrofula, catarrh and blood diseases generally it is almost a specific. Too much, in my opinion, cannot be said of the curative properties of the Vade Mecum water. D. N. DALTON, M. D. Winsto-n, N. C, October 10, 1900. Bethania, N. C, Jan. 5, 1901. The V;:.de Mecum Water has a wide range of usefulness in the field of therapeutics. It is especially indicated in the diseases de- -nding upon glandular inactivity of the alimentary canal, the liTt and the kidneys. In habitual constipation, jaundice and srae-Ja it is i/ie water par excellence. It is also a valuable agent ia the .;^eatment of scrofula, rickets, glandular enlargements and sandry phenomena depending upon mal-nutrition and blood Edw. F. STRICKLAND, M. D.

NORTH CH:R0LIN7=C. \J. S. 7K. . 27 CLIPPINGS FROM THE PRESS. There probably never has been such a record of cures and beneficial results from the use of a mineral water in the same period of time. It goes without sayint,'- that here must grow up a g-reat and famous resort.— From Charlotte Observer, Febru- ary 17, 1901. It is well known that North Carolina is rich in natural resources, and especially in minerals. But it was not known that we had here a water, rich in every important mineral and so perfectly blended that it becomes at once a specific for the ills which one-half the human family is heir to.— From Twin City Daily, February 18, 1901. The publication of the analysis of this water on September 14th, 1900, created profound impression, as North Carolina has nothing to compare with it.— From Raleigh News and Observer, March 17, 1901. The Vade Mecum has leaped into fame as a curative agent within the last year or two and gained a place in the estimation of the medical fraternity and public, that proves it to be a marvelous water. It seems to be the ideal combination of tonic, laxative, diuretic, blood purifier, and restorative nervine. The beauty of it is that it can be used at home and its real medical value is established by the cures it makes there. — From Web= ster's Weekly, June 13th, 1901. It is simply marvelous to look over the company's book of testimonia's and see what astonishing results have been re- ported. -From Durham Daily Sun, June 21, 1901. This mineral water lately discovered in Stokes County, has won a spontaneous popularit)'. The analj'sis shows 106 grains of mineral salts per gallon and is pronounced by eminent physi- cians to be the best laxative and healing- water in use. — From NeA-bern Journal, June 18, 1901. From reports it is learned that the Vade Mecum is to take the lead the coming season, that thousands o£ gallons of water arc being shipped all over the world. Excellent roads are being- constructed from the Spring to the railroad at Rural Hall. — From The Greensboro Telegram. It is an ideal place for a mineral spring. While Vade MeGU47- is not yet finished still it is now ready for visitors and non^ wj )' regret a visit there.— Ex. Lt. Gov. Reynolds, in the Unioi '^^ publican, June 20th, 1901. -M "Truth is that parfect word which knows no dece. oh," uttered by Rev. Jesse A. Ashburn and pronounced 'on. Champ Clark in the press at large to be the best de ion of truth that has ever been given : "Mj- Uncle's wife, who has been treated for yeai by physi- cians for a chronic disease of kidneys and bladde* ,has begun the use of this water and reports a rapid impro^icment."

Nothing can be more joyous and invigorating than to engage some of the company's burros and climb to Moore's Knob, 3,000 feet high, trace the hunters' trail to Tory Den and the Cascade, visit the Itacolumite Mines and the Rock House, run down to the Morotock Bend, or up the Pilot's Castellated Peak — reserving for another day, the Mill of the Revolution, Diamond Cave, Indian Spring, Cook's Wall and Iron Banks.

You would say diamonds, and the answer would not be far from the truth, only one degree of kin removed. Ita= columite or flexible stone is the mother rock of diamonds. It is found nowhere in North America except at Vade Mecum Spring in the Sauratown Mountains, vStokes Coun- ty, N. C. It is strange that it appears at just one place in each of the s'x continents ; in the Itacolumi Mountains of Brazil, at Kimberly, South Africa, in the Ural Mountains of Europe, at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains, India, and near Melbourne in Australia; and at each of these mines of flexible sandstone, diamonds have been found in abun- dance. For vastness of deposit, beauty of structure, and flexibility of movement, none of the other world famed deposits equal this newly opened mine at Vade Mecum Spring. The Vade Mecum Spring Company has acquired all of this rare rock yci discovered, covering or underlying about IdOO acres, and is now mining and preparing it for the arts and museums, and for general stributation as souvenirs and curios. Visitors to this resort will see the only equipment on earth for tlie manufact ure of the various products of this rare material. It is useful in cutting and polishing marble and other stones, makes the best sand paper and whet rocks, a durable lining for furnaces, anJ cuts glass like diamond or emery. As an absorbant it has the same effect in the prevention of hydrophobia that is supposed to be peculiar to the mad- stone. And without doubt it is the most CURIOUS of all CURIOS found on our Planet. The company has been compelled to provide for the filling of orders by mail, selling bars of five different sizes at $0.25, $0.50, $0.75, $1.00 and $2.00 respectively, with 50% additional for postage. It is the wonder and ad- miration of everyone. You cannot find it except at Vade Mecum vSprings. WE INVITE INQUIRY. TORPID LIVER CAUSES URIC ACID.
