WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. /-a The subscriber respectfully informs his !hTI friends and the public generally that the SPRING, formerly known as “DUVALL’S,” is now opened for the reception of company. Every attention will be paid for the accommo dation of those who may visit this Spring. The situation possesses many advantages,—located five miles west of Winchester, in a healthy and agreeable neighborhood, remote from any wa ter course. The property has undergone a tho rough repair; nearly all the buildings are new, and sufficient room to accommodate about 75 persons. The water is highly medicinal, hav ing stood the test for 25 or 30 years. Many re spectable certificates could be procured, were it necessary, to prove the value of this water. In dyspepsia, diarrhea, affections of the liver, cu taneous affections, suppressed perspiration, de bility, and many other diseases to which the hu man system is subject, this water, upon a fair trial, 1 hope, will not be less efficacious than any sulphur water whatever. The accommodations shall be equal ia pay other place; the most trusty servants provided, and our table shall be furnished with the best our markets af ford. I trust that a few weeks can be agreea bly and profitab y spent at this Spring. There is a Shower Bath of sulphur water, and a Warm Bath for invalids. This Spring is but one day’s travel from Baltimore and the District; the stage passes it three times a week, from Harper’s Fer ry, by way of Charlestown. It is, also, but one day’s travel from Bath and Capon. Boarding only 36 per week, or 31 per day for a less time; childien and servants half price. Dinner 50cts; breakfast and supper 37 1 2 cents. The Sha nondale Water will be kept constantly. ALLEN WILLIAMS. Frederick Co. Vn.
