SPRING HOUSE _AND_ Bottling Establishment_ SO. EASTON, MASS. [Illustration: Map] This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the _STOMACH_, _LIVER_, _KIDNEYS_ and _BLADDER_. A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC. PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health. [NOTE.--This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.] _PARTS IN 1,000,000_ Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06 The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches. The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial. Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885. _Dear Sirs_,--"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its _properties_ are _characteristic_, and as _clinically trustworthy_ as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic." DR. J. HEBER SMITH, _Professor of Materia Medica in the Boston University School of Medicine._ Families and dealers supplied with the water in cases of bottles and Patent Boxed Glass Demijohns by _HOWARD BROS., Managers_, 117 DEVONSHIRE ST., BOSTON, (Opp. Post Office.) ==OR== GEO.
