Those who reside in low an 1 unhealthy districts of country, will find at Shoccii doling the Summer months, a pure and invigorating air, comfortable accommo dations, miurra! waters answering all reasonable expectations, and a table, of which the only fault is, being rather too, tempting for invalids- It is proper to remai k, that the uater parts with much of its active properties in a short time alter being drawn from the Sp'ing, and therefore, in order ia realize its lull benefits, visiters should take il al the Fountain. Very respectfully, JOHN BECKIVITU. To Mrs. Johnson, Shocco Springs. From Ellis Ma lone, M. D. May 2, 1837. Dear Maiam 1 take pleasure in stating, that in my opinion, the water of Shocco Springs is possessed of tin extensive and direct influence over the diseased actions of many of the organs of our system. Ac lively diuretic, gently laxative, and, if es- ercue is taken after using it, not a hltle diaphoretic, together with its ii. vigorating influence over the chylopaetic apparatus, in rea-ing the appetite ami strengthening the powers of digestion, it could not well he otiiei wise than that the proper use of it, should be greatly conducive to the resto ration of the healthy action of diseased or gans, lo which it bears so munieat re lation. - My information in relation to its medi cal properties has been derived from no little ptrsonat experience. It will readily occur to intelligent medical men, to what class of diseases a temedy having such effects as described above, will be appli cable, who will lik-ly be consulted by in valids wishing to avail themselves of its benefits before leaving their respective homes.
