CALEDONIA SPRINGS. 51

No. 9, Corner of Place (PArmes, and Great St. James 8treet t
MONTREAL.

THE Proprietor of these justly celebrated MINERAL WATERS, now so long and
favorably known to the public of Canada and the United States, has established a Dep6t
for their sale as above, where the waters of the Intermittent, Saline, Sulphur and Gas
Springs will constantly be received fresh from the Springs.
The following certificates of the efficacy of these Waters are respectfully submitted
to the public.
Extract of a letter from the late eminent physician, Dr. Robertson of Montreal.
" The complaints, as far as my experience extends, in which they prove most beneficial, are
Dyspepsia, affections of the Urinary Organs and some diseases of the Skin.
But the disease, above all others, in which their good effects are most decided, is Rheumatism.
Some cases of this complaint came under my observation within the last few years, in which the ben-
efit derived from the use of the Caledonia Water, was extraordinary. I have also known individuals
who suffered from the improper use of Mercury and the effects of disease, for the cure of which thia
medicine is generally administered, who were restored to health, by the use of these waters. Several
cases of the disease designated Chlorosis, (a disease of young females,) have been perfectly cured."
Dr. Douglas of Grosse Isle says:—
" I use a bottle every morning, and so does Dr. Jacques, my assistant. Whether the Water may be
a preservative against Typhus, by keeping the general health in good order, or whether it possesses
specific powers of its own, 1 do not pretend to say; but this I can say, that t)r. Jacques and myself
are the only two, out of fourteen medical men who were in June, on duty, that have escaped the pea-
tilence. All took fever, and two have died, and the others remain very ill.

Dr. Mount of Montreal, referring to Rheumatism, says:—
" I have often seen persons martyrs to this disease, (myself for one during ten years,) which baffled'
all medical skill, both in England and on this Continent, resort to the Caledonia Springs walking on
crutches, and others that could not walk at all, worn out by protracted sufferings, and their general
health disordered and broken down by confinement and want of exercise, return to their homes free
from pain, leaving behind (with unspeakable joy) their crutches, and with health, strength, appetite,
and activity, perfectly restored.
Dr. Campbell of Montreal says:—
" Of all diseases that have come under my notice, in which a persevering use of the Baths and Waters
promises the most beneficial results, Chronic Rheumatism ranks the first. I have also found the Water
useful in Dyspeptic and Urinary Complaints, in Chlorosis, Secondary Syphilis, and some of the form*,
of Cutaneous Disease."
Dr. Crawford of Montreal says:—
" I beg to state that I consider the Caledonia Waters efficacious in cases of Dyspepsia, Chronic
Rheumatism, or where the constitution has been impaired by the injudicious use of Mercury, and ill-
treated Syphilis; I would also add, in certain Cutaneous Diseases. I have frequently recommended
their use in the above complaints, and witnessed their good effects."

James R. Chilton, M. D., of New York, writes thus, with regard to those Waters :—
" The Waters of the Caledonia Springs will prove highly serviceable in the treatment of rariou*
Chronic diseases.
They possess those happy natural combinations of Medicinal ingredients 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.
