first obtained from native carbonate of strontium by Sir Humphry Davy 
in 180S, is of a pale yellow color, burns with a crimson flame, emitting 
sparks, decomposes water, liberating hydrogen gas, is hard, ductile and 
malleable, and is obtained from the anhydrous chloride by electrolysis. 
Specific gravity, 2.54; atomic weight, 87.5 ; symbol Sr. Its most impor- 
tant compound is the oxide called Strontia.”—Johnson's New Universal 
Cyclopedia. 
“The Strontia Mineral Water Spring is located near Brook- 
land ville, Baltimore County, Maryland. All that is claimed for the Water 
is no doubt well sustained from the testimony given in its favor. It is 
prescribed for diseases of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys; Gout, Rheuma- 
tism, Headache and Genital Weakness. It removes oppression after eating 
and assists digestion.”—Extract from the elaborate Treatise on Foreign 
and Domestic Mineral Waters, published by P. Scherer & Co., New York. STRONTIA SPRING. 
LOCATION. 
The Strontia Spring is located near Brooklandville, Baltimore 
County, Maryland, on the Green Spring Branch of the Northern Central 
Railway, about six miles north of the Druid Hill Park, Baltimore. The 
high elevation of the Spring is such that it is absolutely free from surface 
drainage. The Spring was discovered in 1877, and the virtue of the water 
immediately recognized. 
In a paper read in the Hall of the Johns Hopkins University, before 
the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of the State of Maryland, at the 
eighty-fourth session, April 14th, 1882, upon the Potable Waters of Mary- 
land, Dr. W. C. Van Bibber said: 
“ When the saline or gaseous ingredients of water are sufficient in 
quantity to impart to it a decided odor or taste, or when from analysis or 
experience spring or well waters are found to contain substances which 
produce positive beneficial results upon some of those who drink them, 
they are termed Mineral Springs. Of these there are many in the State 
which are used for medicinal purposes. The water from one well has 
recently obtained much celebrity as a mineral water. This is the Strontia 
water, and the well from which it is obtained is situated near Brookland- 
ville, in Baltimore County. Its analysis has been made by Prof. William 
Simon, and shows that this water contains more Strontia than any other 
water known. It is highly esteemed by many physicians and others who 
have used it. What the particular medical virtues of Strontia are, or how 
this substance, in combination with other substances, gives such positive 
results as this water does in some cases, are questions which cannot be 
discussed in this paper.” 
ANALYSIS. 
The following Analysis is by W. Simon, Ph. D., M. D., Professor of 
Chemistry and Toxicology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons; 
Professor of Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry in the Maryland College 
of Pharmacy, Baltimore, Md.; Author of a Manual of Chemistry, etc., etc. 
Mr. O. P. Macgill. 
Dear Sir:—Of the many samples of water sent to me for examination, 
the product of your Spring is one of the very few deserving the name of 
Mineral Water. 2 
It contains about ten times the quantity of saline matter usually found 
in common spring water. The presence of Iodine and Strontium was sur- 
prising to me, as these elements are but rarely found to a larger extent in 
water. 
The preliminary examination having shown the value of the water, I 
certainly would advise you to have it thoroughly examined and tested, 
both chemically and practically, by physicians. 
Hoping that you may succeed in rendering your Spring valuable to 
yourself and sick persons, 
I am, very respectfully yours, 
DR. W. SIMON.

These are explained in the following letter from Dr. Jackson Piper, a 
member of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, residing in 
the neighborhood of the Spring: 
Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., December 12, 1877. 
O. P. Macgill, Esq. 
The properties of the Strontia Spring Water are Tonic, Antacid, 
Aperient, Alterative, Antiseptic, Solvent and Resolvent. 
Tonic, in containing Nitric, Carbonic and Sulphuric Acids. Antacid 
and Aperient, for its Soda, Sodium, Magnesia and Lime. Alterative and 
Resolvent, for its Potassium, Strontia and Iodine. Solvent, for its Acids, 
and Antiseptic in its Chlorine and Acids. 
The class of diseases to which these properties address themselves are 
Affections of the Stomach and Bowels, Dyspepsia, Debility and Irritation, 
Chronic Constipation, Chronic Diarrhoea and Dyspepsia; Chronic Affec- 
tions of the Liver, Enlargements of Glands, and Affections of the Throat; 
certain affections of the Kidneys—Uric Acid, Gravel, and Phosphatic 
Deposits ; Chronic Rheumatism, and Scrofulous and Consumptive Dis- 
eases. 
This Spring Water will compare most favorably with the celebrated 
Bedford, Bethesda and Buffalo Lithia Waters. It is the only water in 
this country known to contain Nitric Acid, Strontia and Chlorine in such 
large excess, and these constituents make it an exceedingly valuable and 
remarkable water. 
JACKSON PIPER, M. D. 
Prof. J. R. Rogers, Ph. D., M. D., of the Examining Corps of the 
United States Patent Office, writes: 
“ The ingredients found in the water of the Strontia Spring, par- 
ticularly the Bicarbonate and Sulphate of Strontium, may be regarded as 
a boon which nature has conferred upon suffering humanity. These ingre- 
dients are valuable remedial agents in the treatment of diseased conditions 
of the Kidneys, Liver, Stomach and other digestive organs, and they are 
particularly potent when held in solution in natural waters. The phos- 
phoric acid, which is found in the water of the Strontia Spring, is also 
beneficial in the treatment of derangements of the nervous system.” 
Daniel J. Kelly, A. M., M. D., late Professor of Chemistry in the 
University of Georgetown, Washington, D. C., writes : 
“ From a comparison of Dr. Simon’s analysis of the Brooklandville 
Spring Water with more than a hundred analyses of famous mineral 
springs, it appears that the water in question is remarkably rich in nitrates 
of sodium and potassium, and in salts of Strontium.” 4 
In offering this extraordinary water to the public, the Strontia 
Mineral Spring Co. desire to call attention to a significant fact, viz. 
that a large proportion of the testimonials to the efficacy of the water as 
a remedial age?it are given by eminent physicians and citizens of promi- 
nence residing in the city and vicinity of Baltimore ; and that its high 
character as a Table Water is vouched for by the leading hotel proprietors 
and restaurant keepers of that city. Therefore the Strontia Mineral 
Spring Co. feel warranted in asserting that a water so well endorsed at 
home is well worthy of the fullest confidence of the public. 
In proof of the absolute purity of the water and absence of organic 
matter, testimony is offered to the fact that after remaining three years in a 
barrel, it was found to be as pure as when originally taken from the Spring. 
Strontia Water will give immediate relief in Sick Headaches. 
It will cure the most obstinate cases of Dyspepsia. 
It will positively cure Diabetes, Albuminuria, and all curable affections 
of the Kidneys. 
It will cure Gout and Rheumatism. 
It will relieve any disordered condition of the Liver, Stomach and 
Bowels. 
It will restore the Tone of the Stomach and increase the appetite. 
It will be found of great service in Scrofulous Affections and Weakness 
of the Lungs. 
Strontia Water, while possessing astonishing curative properties, is, 
especially in its highly effervescent state, a delightful and refreshing bever- 
age, promoting digestion. Carbonic acid gas, taken in moderate quantities, 
is known to have a salutary effect upon the stomach and mucous mem- 
branes, exciting the torpid digestive organs to action, and removing nausea. 
Strontia is distinctively a Table Water. It is entirely free from 
sulphate of lime. As a diluent for wines and liquors it stands pre-eminent. 
In the words of a distinguished physician, whose letter appears within, it 
is “ a light, agreeable and useful water for invalids, as well as for those, 
apparently in good health, who find other waters difficult to digest, or 
disagreeable to the taste.” 
DIRECTIONS FOR MEDICINAL USE. 
Persons who use mineral water as a remedial agent must bear in mind 
the fact that it is seldom resorted to except in chronic cases, and are frequently- 
disappointed if they do not receive immediate relief from a single gallon or 
less. To such we say, do not use Strontia Water. Sometimes the effect 
of a few glasses is entirely the reverse of that expected. The system must 
be impregnated with the mineral properties to insure success. Conse- 
quently, the water should be taken from two to eight weeks, to the extent of from four to eight glasses per day, from one to two glasses being always 
taken before breakfast. In cases of Diarrhoea or Dysentery half a glass at 
a time. Oppression after eating will generally be relieved by a glass of 
the water. To teething children, it should be given in small quantities, 
very frequently, during the day. It will be found to promptly relieve the 
irritation of the stomach. 
Medical Certificates. 
As a Tonic and Diuretic. 
IV. C. Van Bibber, M. D., 47 Franklin St., Baltimore. 
“ I have used the Strontia Spring Water, and found it a light, 
agreeable and useful water for invalids, as well as for those, apparently in 
good health, who find other waters difficult to digest, or disagreeable to 
the taste. 
“ The analysis of this water shows that it may possess unusually useful 
properties. The presence of the Chloride of Calcium and of the Bicarbonate 
of Strontium, together with small quantities of the Bicarbonate of Iron and 
Phosphoric Acid, will at once give it a high position in the estimation of 
all physicians as a decided tonic and diuretic, and one particularly useful 
in many diseases unusually prevalent at the present day." 
Diabetes, Kidney Diseases, Dyspepsia, Liver Affections, &c. 
James E. Dwindle, M. D., 299 E. Baltimore St., Baltimore. 
“ During the past three years I have had considerable experience in 
testing the medical virtues of your Strontia Water. I am free to say 
it is far superior to any similar waters I know of, in airing such a variety 
of ailments. To the medical profession I do most cordially recommend 
Strontia Water as an invaluable adjunct in the treatment of Albumi- 
nuria, Diabetes and Kidney diseases generally ; also in many forms of 
Dyspepsia, complicated with Liver afifection.” 
Stomach and Kidneys, Gout and Rheumatism. 
R. H. Goldsmith, M. D. (late Physician to Bayview Asylum of the City 
of Baltimore), cor. Harlem Ave. and Calhouri St, Baltimore. 
“ For several years I have used your Spring Water in my profes- 
sional mission, and it affords me pleasure to do justice to its remarkable 
medicinal qualities. For diseases of the Stomach and Kidneys, or for Gout 
and Rheumatism, I know no combination, in art and nature, more capable 
of affording relief. In my own practice I have used it freely, and always 
with benefit.” 6 
Acid Dyspepsia and Gastric Catarrh. 
f. H. Grimes, M. D., 259 Maryland Ave., Baltimore. 
“ As you have very generously given me every facility in your power 
to test for myself the merits of the Strontia Water which you are now 
rapidly and extensively introducing to the public, I take pleasure in 
attesting to its undoubted efficiency in the following conditions in which I 
have tried it, both on myself and others, viz. Acid Dyspepsia, Gastric 
Catarrh, and in some of the excesses of diet so often indulged in by many 
of the human family. Being fully satisfied of the above, I unhesitatingly 
commend it to those thus afflicted.” 
Dyspepsia; Renal, Hepatic and other Organic and Functional 
Disturbances. 
fos. Lloyd Martin, M. D. , 38 Mount Vernon Place, 
Baltimore. 
“ The Strontia Water from the farm of O. P. Macgill, Esq., is, I 
believe, a valuable medicinal water, acting as an alterative and resolvent. It 
is therefore capable of reaching, curatively, many forms of Dyspepsia, 
Renal, Hepatic and other Organic and Functional disturbances. It has 
been used with much satisfaction and relief by a member of my family.” 
Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Urinary Organs. 
Chas. G. W. Macgill, M. D., Catonsville, Baltimore Co., Md., one of the 
Trustees of the State Insane Asylum. 
“After prescribing Strontia Water in my practice and in my own 
family for the past four months, I am pleased to say that I regard it as a 
most valuable medicinal water. Its alterative, antacid, tonic and diuretic 
properties are positive, and I therefore found great benefit in its use in 
diseased conditions of the Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Urinary Organs. 
To all persons affected with any of the above diseases or their kindred, 
I confidently recommend it.” 
Stomach Particularly. 
f. Robert Ward, M. D., Govanstown, Baltimore Co., Md., late President 
of the Board of Health of the State of Maryland. 
“ I have ordered the use of your Strontia Water in a case I have had 
under my care for the past two years; the patient, during that time, has 
been suffering from a complication of diseases, inability to take food or use 
water having caused great distress and emaciation. The water from your 
spring has been drank freely and without any discomfort, and digestion has 
been decidedly better than for the past two years. In diseases of the 
stomach particularly, the water will be found highly beneficial.” Dyspepsia and Rheumatism. 
f. H. farrett, M. D., Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., late Medical 
Examiner for the U. S. Government, in the State of Maryland. 
“ I take pleasure in testifying to the good effects of your Strontia 
Water in Dyspepsia. My daughter has been using the water for this 
disease, and has derived immeasurable relief from it, and is now almost 
entirely restored to health. The Strontia Water certainly contains excellent 
medicinal properties, and I consider it a valuable beverage for Dyspeptic 
and Rheumatic subjects. ” 
Dyspepsia, Liver and Kidneys. 
W. G. Register, M. D., cor. Fayette and Calhoun Sts., Baltimore, Secretary 
of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland. 
“ During the past year I have been using your Strontia Water quite 
extensively in my practice, and have had very good effects from it in the 
treatment of Dyspepsia, and in Liver and Kidney troubles. Its alterative, 
antacid and diuretic properties are most decided. I consider it one of the 
most valuable medicinal waters we have.” 
Nervous Dyspepsia and Paralysis of Kidneys. 
G. H. Cairnes, M.D., Woodberry, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ Three months ago I ordered Strontia Water for a patient I have 
had under my treatment for the past nine months. She suffers with 
Nervous Dyspepsia, with all its distressing accompaniments, complicated 
with Paralysis of Kidneys ; resulting in complete suppression of urine. 
Inasmuch as suppression has on more occasions than one continued with- 
out interruption for eight days, I think it a very remarkable case. She is 
now using the water, all other remedies are stopped, and her condition is 
much better than it has been for the last nine months. For the past four 
weeks she has been out of bed three or four hours each day. From the 
decided beneficial effect in the above case, I feel justified in recommending 
the water to the profession as a valuable remedial agent, and to all suffer- 
ing with disease of the Stomach, Liver, Kidneys or Bowels.” 
Dyspepsia and Rheumatism. 
H. M. Ewing, M. D., Mt. Washington, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ Within the past two years I have given your Strontia Water a very 
fair trial, and my experience with it has been most satisfactory. I deem it 
an important therapeutic agent, especially in Dyspepsia, accompanied by 
acidity of the stomach, and also in Rheumatism. I cheerfully recom- 
mend it.” 8 
As an Antacid and Diuretic. 
W. H. Worthington, M. D., Ellicott City, Howard Co., Md. 
“ I have suffered from periodical Dyspepsia for over forty years. I 
used a few gallons of your Strontia Water last summer with decided relief. 
Its antacid and diuretic properties are positive. I cheerfully and highly 
recommend its use to all persons suffering from diseases of the Stomach 
and Kidneys.” 
Nervous Dyspepsia. 
I. D. Thompson, M. D., Physician to Mount Hope Insane Asylum, 
Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ During the past year I have carefully tested the value of your Mineral 
Water as a cure for Dyspepsia, having used it quite frequently in my private 
practice, and also in the Insane Asylum with which I am connected. My 
observation has convinced me beyond a doubt that in those cases of Nervous 
Dyspepsia attended with acrid eructations, nausea and sick headache, 
the Strontia Water possesses positive curative qualities.” 
Atonic Dyspepsia. 
Jackson Piper, M. D., Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I have obtained great relief from Atonic Dyspepsia by the use of 
the Strontia Spring Water.” 
All Forms of Dyspepsia. 
R. W. Young, M. D., Washington, D. C. 
“ I am in receipt of the Strontia Water ordered by my son for me. It 
gives me pleasure to state that I have found great relief from the use of it, 
and I earnestly recommend it to all who are suffering under any of the 
forms of Dyspepsia.” 
J. Ridgely Hammond, M. D., 296 Hollins St., Baltimore. 
“ Seeing by the merest accident an analysis of a sample of your 
Strontia Spring Water, by Prof. W. Simon, and noting the large number 
of valuable medicinal properties it contained, I determined to try the 
water in several dyspeptic, gouty and rheumatic cases then (six months 
ago) under treatment, and I take pleasure in stating that in every case in 
which I made use of the water, possessing as it unmistakably does, 
alterative, tonic, antacid, antiseptic and aperient properties, I have witnessed 
decided beneficial results.” 
Dyspepsia, Gout and Rheumatism. 9 
General Endorsement. 
Lewis M. Eastman, M. D., 349 Lexington St., Baltimore. 
“ I have used myself and prescribed for others, the Strontia Spring 
Water, and am pleased to endorse all that has been said in its favor. It 
is pleasant to the taste, agreeable to the stomach, and beneficial to the 
health.” 
Diabetes—Remarkable Cure. 
Hon. E. J. Heyikle, M. D., Baltimore, Md., State Senator, and for three 
consecutive terms Member of Congress from the Fifth 
Congressional District of Maryland. 
“ Physicians, as a rule, never give certificates recommending nostrums 
or secret remedies. I have never given a recommendation of any such, but 
I consider the Strontia Water an exception to the rule, being a product of 
nature. In justice to the suffering and to you, I feel it to be a duty to certify 
to the wonderful efficacy of this water. 
“ I am naturally, and from observation, inclined to question the claims of 
most mineral waters to the wonderful curative powers claimed for them ; 
but I have witnessed the action of this, and can no longer doubt. 
“ Mr. William L. Thomas, whose letter you have, is my nephew. I took 
great interest in his case, and was deeply solicitous about him. Physicians of 
large experience and undoubted skill pronounced his case a hopeless one; 
and his rapidly failing strength and emaciated condition surely indicated 
that he was not far from the grave. 
“ Fortunately, while in this condition, he was induced, without my 
knowledge, to make trial of the Strontia Water, and I am happy to say it 
has had a miraculous effect ufon him. If not fully cured, he is surely 
better than he has been for years, and I believe a continued use of the 
water will restore his health entirely. From the history of this remarkable 
case, I feel justified in freely recommending its use to others similarly 
affected. You are at liberty to use this as you deem best.” 
Case above Referred to. 
William L. Thomas, Machinery Department, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad 
Co., residence, 211 Franklin Street, Baltimore. 
“ I have been using your Strontia Water for the past four months, and 
I feel safe in saying I have improved wonderfully during that time. You 
will remember I have the Diabetes and Kidney trouble, and have been a 
miserable sufferer for three years, and after I had been using the water for 
one month I found my health improving, and I am in splendid health at 
this time-, and feel sure that I will soon be well, as the pains in my back and 
side have entirely gone ; but I will continue with the water that I may be 
sure that I am cured. I also found since I have been using the water that 10 
I have been cured of the Dyspepsia. I have two friends that have Kidney 
trouble, and I have urged upon them to use the water; which they are now 
doing, and with success, as the pains have gone, and, as in my case, they 
can sleep and eat with the same pleasure as before they had the trouble. I 
consider the Strontia Water a specific in the cure of Diabetes, and would 
take great pleasure in giving my opinion to any one; so should you have 
such persons, please send them to me, and I will warrant they will soon 
be convinced. I now weigh 127 lbs., and last August my weight was 90 lbs.” 
Since the above letter was written, Mr. Thomas has passed the medical 
examination, and been admitted as a member, of the Baltimore and Ohio 
Relief Association, one of the strictest life insurance organizations extant. 
TESTIMONIALS FROM PROMINENT AND WELL- 
KNOWN CITIZENS. 
Chronic Dyspepsia. 
W. H. Carpenter, Senior Editor of the Baltimore Sun. 
“ If my opinion of your Strontia Water is of any value, either to you 
or to the great army ol dyspeptics, it is at your service. I give it the more 
freely because I was at first prejudiced against it, and after trying it a few 
times threw it aside as not adapted to my case, which was one of Chronic 
Dyspepsia of several years’, or rather of many years’, standing. Subse- 
quently, I was induced by a friend, whom the water had greatly benefited, 
to give it a second and more thorough trial. After using it exclusively for 
drinking purposes for several months, the change in my condition became 
so marked, and the improvement in appetite and power of digestion so 
manifest, that I feel safe in saying that the Strontia Water comes more 
nearly to the nature of a specific in cases of Dyspepsia than any other of 
the multitude of remedial agents recommended for that particular malady. 
In all cases of simple Dyspepsia, and in many that have assumed a chronic 
form, I should say, from my own experience, that steady persistence in the 
use of the Strontia Water, with due attention to diet, will effect a perfect 
cure.” 
As a Solvent. 
C, Morton Stewart, Se?iior Member of the Firm of C. Morton Stewart 
& Co., Baltimore. 
“ It is with much pleasure that I add my testimony to that of the many 
who have recommended the use of Strontia Water to their friends. In 
some cases I consider it a specific remedy, whereas, as a delightful solvent, 
I think it a most valuable water.” 11 
Kidneys. 
George G. Presbury, Baltimore, late one of the Proprietors of the West 
End Hotel, Lang Branch. 
“ I leave here for Long Branch on the 1st of May, to remain until 
November 1st. Please send me one barrel of your Strontia Spring Water, 
so as to arrive there before I do. I have been using the water only about 
eight weeks, and have received the greatest amount of benefit from it. My 
Kidney affliction has been entirely relieved, and my general health has not 
been so good for ten years, all of which I attribute to the use of this 
valuable water.” 
Kidneys and Stomach. 
f. E. R. Crabbe, of the Firm of fohnson, Sutton df Co., Wholesale Dry 
Goods and Notion House, 27 and 29 S. Sharp St., Baltimore. 
“ For a period of over two years I was a sufferer with what was pro- 
nounced Dyspepsia and an affection of the Kidneys. I was feeble, had an 
excessively disagreeable sensation about my head-Mndescribable—but 
feeling as if it was in a partly closed vise, producing something like vertigo, 
and accompanied by a loss of my usual good flow of spirits. So great was 
the depression, I had concluded that I could not live but for a short period, 
when a friend suggested the use of the Strontia Water from your place. 
I obtained a barrel of it, which I found so palatable that I used it in the 
place of hydrant water for a week or two, after which I drank but a couple 
of glasses daily. Before the contents of the barrel were more than half 
consumed, I was completely restored, but finding it the best remedy for 
Dyspepsia I know, I intend never to be without it.” 
Disordered Kidneys. 
L. P. D. Newman, Attorney at Law, 25 Lexington St., Baltimore. 
“ Since 1865 I have at times suffered the most excruciating pain from 
a derangement of my Kidneys. My physicians pronounced it gravel. 
The diagnosis was correct, as the calculi so frequently passed but too 
clearly demonstrated. But within two or three years past there has been 
an absence of calculi, but an increase, if possible, of pain in the Kidneys, 
and in the locality of the neck of the Bladder. I will not attempt to depict 
the acute, cutting, bearing down pain and agony this ailment has entailed 
upon me, for language is inadequate to express it; but those who have 
been tortured by disordered Kidneys will fully appreciate my condition. 
Morphine, Chloriodine and Chloral, in turn, have signally failed to allay 
pain resulting from this disorder. A very hot bath, which formerly had 
the effect of relaxing the system during these paroxysms of suffering, has 
ceased to be efficacious. My good Dr. R. H. Goldsmith induced me to 
try the virtues of Strontia Water, which, I am happy to say, affords 
me entire relief within ten minutes, arid has in no instance failed me." 12 
Chronic Dyspepsia; Kidneys. 
T. C. Norton, D. D. S., Colton Dental Association, 81 Fayette St., 
Baltimore. 
“ With pleasure I give you the result of my experience with your 
Strontia Spring Water. I regard it as one of the most valuable remedial 
agents I have ever used. Having tried all the other well-known mineral 
waters, and derived very little, if any, benefit from their use, I determined 
to try Strontia in my case, which was one of Chronic Dyspepsia of many 
years’ duration, attended with a nervous affection of one of my limbs, which 
probably resulted from some derangement of my kidneys. After using the 
water freely for two months, I am happy to say it has restored me to 
perfect health.” 
Dyspepsia. 
N. F. Blacklock, member of the Firm of A. R. Blacklock & Co., Paper 
Manufacturers and Dealers, Baltimore. 
“ I cordially and truthfully endorse Dr. J. Piper in his praise of the 
virtues of the Strontia Spring Water. It is a superior water and possesses 
all the curative properties as claimed. I have been a sufferer for years from 
that terrible Dyspepsia, and must say I have experienced more relief from 
the Strontia than from any other remedy that I have taken. I hope you 
will make arrangements for visitors. I have no doubt you would have 
more demand than you could supply. I shall be pleased to be interviewed 
at any time at your instance.” 
A Delightful Water. A Home Necessity. Sweet after Remaining 
Two Years in a Barrel. 
D. W. Glass, Importer and Manufacturer of Cards and Papers, Paper 
Dealer and Stationer, 19 S'. Charles Street, Baltimore. 
“We have used your Strontia Water for years, and find it a home 
necessity. My wife and children enjoy it, and find it a pleasure and relief. 
I also have a barrel for store use. W e find it a specific, and cordially 
recommend it to any who wish a delightful water. In an old barrel, kept 
in the cellar for about two years, the water found in it seemed as sweet as 
if just sent us.” 
Liver and Stomach. 
John P. Ringgold, Gentlemen's Furnishing Store, N Charles St., 
Baltimore. 
“ The water I used from your Spring has had the most happy effect 
on my Liver and Stomach. I have used about all the known mineral 
waters and have received more benefit from the Strontia Water than 
from any of them. I can freely recommend it to the afflicted. It lightens 
up the system and makes one feel renewed.” 13 
Stomach and Kidneys. Further Testimony to the Keeping 
Properties of the Water. Pure after Three 
Years in Wood. 
Christopher Shaw, Shaw's Cottage Hotel, 21 N High Street, Baltimore. 
“ In the summer of 1877 I purchased from you a barrel of Strontia 
Water. I used it myself and gave a quantity of it to my friends, who 
were, like myself, suffering from affections of Stomach and Kidneys, and in 
every instance the result from its use has been most satisfactory; and one of 
the most remarkable things in regard to the water is the fact that what 
remains in the barrel is as pure and delightful to drink as it was when I 
received it from you three years ago.” 
Robert S. Corse, an Ex- Commissioner of Baltimore County, Md., residing 
at Owings Mills, said County. 
“ I have suffered for several years, the cause of which I think proceeded 
from my Liver not being in active state. I tried all kinds of remedies and 
medicines that were suggested, but only received partial relief. My appe- 
tite was very poor, I was restless at night, and always felt badly in the 
morning, and could scarcely eat any breakfast. I concluded last summer, 
at the request of a friend, to try the Strontia Water, which I did use 
freely, and am to-day entirely relieved and well. I believe this to be a 
valuable mineral water, and would advise all suffering with Indigestion, 
Liver or Kidney diseases to use this water freely, and the result they will 
not regret.” 
Indigestion, Liver and Kidney Disorders. 
Irritative Dyspepsia and Sick Headache. 
D. Hopper Emory, Attorney at Law, St. Paul St., Baltimore, Md. 
“ I am a great sufferer from Irritative Dyspepsia, obtaining temporary 
relief from the use of drugs. I was induced to try the Strontia Spring 
Water, and am confident it has not only done me good, but feel an 
improvement that promises a permanent cure. The water never fails to 
give me relief from Sick Headache.” 
Rheumatism. 
Mrs. P. H. Walker, wife of Hon. P. H. Walker, one of the Electors of 
President Cleveland; Director in the Baltimore and Ohio 
Railroad Co. on the part of the State of Maryland. 
“ I feel it my duty to the public, as well as to yourself, to give my 
testimony in regard to the effects of Strontia Water in Rheumatism. 
During the last winter and spring I suffered very much from this most 
painful disease, and when I met you at the well some time in April last, and 14 
you recommended Strontia, with the assurance that its use would very soon 
effect a perfect cure, I must confess I was very skeptical about the result. 
A very few days’ free use of the water convinced me that you were correct; 
it has not only entirely relieved me of Rheumatism, but my general health 
has not been so good for several years, all of which I attribute to the use of 
Strontia Water. I wish you great success in introducing it to the public.” 
Rheumatism. Extraordinary Case. 
F. W. Ulrich, Boot and Shoe Manufacturer, 113 N. Calvert Street, Balti- 
more, at which place of business he has been located 40 years. 
“ With much pleasure I testify to the great merits of your Strontia 
Water. I was afflicted with acute Rheumatism to such an extent that my 
limbs were entirely useless without the aid of crutches. Major John Wright, 
of Rockland, Baltimore County, recommended to me the use of Strontia 
Water from your farm. I sent for a few gallons, and after drinking it freely 
for two or three days I threw aside my crutches, and was entirely relieved 
of all pain and difficulties. I regard the water as a specific in Rheuma- 
tism, judging from its remarkable effects in my own case.” 
Rheumatism, Sour Stomach. 
Maj. John Wright, Proprietor of one of the most extensive Bleach Works 
in the United States, at Rockland, Baltimore County, Md. 
“ I have been using the Strontia Water found on your farm near 
Brooklandville about six months. When I commenced to use the water 
it was for Sour or Acid Stomach, and after having used it for some time 
with good effect, I found I was also relieved of Rheumatism, to which I 
had been subject for some years. About two months ago I stopped using 
the water, but in a few weeks I had a return of the pains. I procured 
more of the water, and in a few days I was relieved again.” 
Joseph Riddlemoser, of the firms of Riddlemoser & Weatherley, 
Coachmakers, and Joseph Riddlemoser & Co., Livery 
Stable Proprietors, Baltimore, Md. 
“ For several years I have suffered with Rheumatism, having tried many 
remedies without any apparent relief. I have used the Strontia Water 
with great relief and satisfaction, and freely recommend it to all afflicted 
with Rheumatism and Indigestion.” 
Rheumatism. 
Dyspepsia and Kindred Diseases, Piles. 
J A. Cowardin, Editor Richmond Despatch, Richmond, Va. 
“I have used the Strontia Water, and I am sure it has benefited 
me in a general sense. It is a fine water for persons afflicted with feebleness, 15 
Dyspepsia and kindred diseases, preserving the general tone of the system 
and giving health when it is much wanted. I have reason to believe it is 
also a remedy in other annoying diseases, such as Piles.” 
Sick Headache, Piles. 
George G. Berryman, Farmer, Reisterstown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ My wife and myself have been for many years great sufferers from 
Sick Headaches. I am glad to say the use of your Strontia Water has 
relieved us both of this distressing complaint. I have also for a long time 
been afflicted with the Piles. The water has effected an entire cure. I 
cannot speak too highly of it in these cases.” 
Diabetes, Dyspepsia and Peritonitis. 
James Duff’ Notion and Stationery Dealer, 115 S. Broadivay, Baltimore. 
“ Having been so greatly benefited by the use of Strontia Water, I 
think it but performing an imperative duty to those who are in the same con- 
dition as I have been in, to write you this. I suffered with pain in the back 
and loins, and at times also in the groin, and at all times was unable to 
hold my water more than one hour, mostly not over half that time, and if I 
had caught any cold not more than fifteen minutes, with a constant desire to 
urinate frequently, making more than half a gallon of water in one night. 
I had tried doctors until I was tired of it. I had become so bad that when 
I laid down at night I would for perhaps two hours have to get up every 
ten minutes, and never could sleep for more than a half hour. I had also 
lost weight rapidly—from 212 pounds to 180 pounds in about two months. 
I at last called on Dr. Dwindle, who pronounced my complaint a decided 
case of diabetes, and, without any other prescription, told me to use Strontia 
Water, which I at once began to do. I had not used one gallon before I 
felt relief, and gained in weight again, and my color, which had begun to 
be white or rather tallow color, is again natural. I do not hesitate 
to say that had it not been for the water I would not to-day be 
here to write you this. I have also given and sold the water to quite a 
number of people for Kidney complaints, Dyspepsia, &c., and my own 
daughter has used it after being a long time down with Peritonitis; and in 
every case it has done much good.” 
N. T. Pate, Office of Richmond Iron Paint Co., 700 and 702 E. Main 
Street, Richmond, Va. 
“ I was paralyzed in March, 1876, from the effects of which I suffered for 
several years. I procured a supply of Strontia Water, and after using 
it for some months I am satisfied with the benefits derived from it, and 
would cheerfully and cordially recommend it to any one suffering from that 
complaint or any nervous disease.” 
Paralysis. 16 
Rheumatic Gout, Dyspepsia and Sick Headache. 
Col. Charles H. Mann, Proprietor Smedley House, Towso?itown, 
Baltimore County, Md. 
“ Having been greatly benefited by the use of your Strontia Water 
in my late attack of Rheumatic Gout, I desire to testify my belief in its 
curative qualities. During my indisposition I suffered with Heartburn or 
Water-Brash, causing sleepless nights and Headaches, until I was induced 
to use the water. I can now speak favorably of its healing qualities. I 
have also noticed its beneficial effects upon one of my family, who has been 
entirely relieved of Dyspepsia and Sick Headache, and upon another who 
has been relieved of inflammation of the eyes.” 
Paralysis, Constipation and Rheumatism. 
Washington Piper, Towsontown, Balthnore County, Md. 
“ I take great pleasure in testifying, from my own knowledge, to the 
great efficacy of the valuable water lately discovered on your farm in Balti- 
more County. I have used it several months for a combination of diseases, 
viz., Constipation, Rheumatism and Paralysis. From the two first-named 
diseases I have been a sufferer for fifteen years, and from the last, eleven 
years. I can say that the water has so greatly relieved me that I am now free 
from all aches or pains since its use, and look for a permanent cure. I 
notice a great improvement also in my Paralysis, in the better use of my 
limbs. My whole system seems to have undergone a change for the better, 
my health is improved, and everything I eat seems to agree with me.” 
Paralysis, Kidney Disease and Dyspepsia. 
Joseph M. Stevens, Richmond, Va. 
“ I have found great benefit from the use of the Strontia Water in 
Kidney disease, and in great debility, bordering on Paralysis. My wife 
has been suffering for years with Dyspepsia, and has received more relief 
from this water than from any medicine she has tried. I have also recom- 
mended it to my friends, who bear the same testimony to its beneficial 
effects.” 
Headache, Kidney Complaint and Disordered Stomach. 
Samuel K. Forsyth, Dining Saloon, 518 10th Street, Washington, C. 
“ For several months my health was so impaired that I could scarcely 
get about. I suffered with severe headaches two or three days or nights 
every week ; also had Kidney trouble of a dangerous character, and acute 
pains in my stomach and bowels. 1 had tried almost everything in the 
catalogue of medicines, and had about made up my mind that physicians 
were humbugs and that I would ‘ throw physic to the dogs ’ and trust 17 
nature to cure or kill me. In this happy frame of mind I ran across my 
friend, Dr. Waggaman, one of our first-class druggists on Pennsylvania 
avenue. He kindly suggested to me to try the Strontia Water. To be 
brief, I drank two or three glasses a day, until I have used about twelve 
gallons. I am free from Headaches, free from Kidney trouble, free from 
all Stomach and Bowel difficulties, and my general health is better than it 
has been for over a year. I leave it for yourself and others to judge what 
has cured me. What the water will do for others afflicted as I was I 
cannot say, but it fits my case exactly, and I would not be without it. 
Scarcely any person will take certificates of this character for more than 
ten cents on the dollar. All I can say is, that I have simply written facts; 
and for the benefit of skeptics (to which class I myself belong), that I have 
no pecuniary interest in your spring of Strontia Water. I wish I had, for 
I sincerely believe it will be, in the not distant future, one of the most 
popular mineral springs on this continent.” 
Nervous Headaches, etc. 
W. I. Ge?itry, Cor. 26th and M Streets, Richmond, Va. 
“ It gives me great pleasure to recommend your most invaluable water, 
known as Strontia, to all suffering humanity. For the last twelve or thir- 
teen years, my wife, Mrs. Octavia A. Gentry, has been a great sufferer (and 
for four years I carried her up and down the steps in my arms) with the 
Kidney and Bladder disease, Indigestion and general debility. She also 
suffered intensely with Pain in the Back and Nervous Headache. Her 
disease baffled the skill of her attending physicians, who said that they had 
never seen or heard of such an aggravated case. In the last three or four 
months she was advised to try your most invaluable Spring Water, and 
before she used one gallon she commenced to improve. It gave her an 
appetite, relieved her Headache, and she never suffers with any Pain in 
the Back, and her digestion is good; and I may add, she is like another 
woman. I have recommended it to others suffering in similar ways, and it 
acts like a charm upon them. Under the circumstances, I cannot say too 
much in behalf of your invaluable water, and would particularly recom- 
mend it to all suffering females.” 
Calculus or Gravel. 
Capt. John R. King, an officer in the Baltimore Custom House, Residence 
136 IV. Madison St., Baltimore. 
“ Having been a great sufferer for some years with Nephritic trouble, 
and used diligently a great many medicinal waters, including Buffalo 
Lithia, Bedford, Bethesda and Deep Rock, without any apparent results, I 
was induced by my physician to try the Strontia Water. I commenced 18 
to use it in September last and, I am happy to say, with the most satisfactory 
and positive results. In two weeks from the time I began its use Ipassed 
a very large-sized calculus, and have had no return of those fearful 
paroxysms of pain incident to that disease. I believe the trouble has gone 
to stay. My general health has greatly improved, and I have gained 15 
pounds in weight.” 
Kidney Diseases, Piles, Sick Headache. 
Samuel Gover Wilson, Auctioneer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“Having suffered severely for many years with a disease of the Kid- 
neys and also with Piles and constant Headaches, I must return you my 
sincere thanks for the use of your invaluable Strontia Water, which you 
so kindly permitted me to obtain from your farm, as it has been the means 
of relieving me of all these troublesome afflictions and restoring me to 
perfect health.” 
Paralysis, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, etc. 
Frank L. Morling, Editor Woodberry News, Baltimore County, Md. 
“ In reply to your enquiry as to the effects of Strontia Water in my 
family, permit me to say that we used it with most wonderful results. Mrs. 
Morling, who has been afflicted with a complication of diseases, among 
them partial Paralysis and Constipation, which were attended with severe 
Headaches, used the water freely, and had no Headache, was free from 
Constipation, and walked better and with more ease than she ever did 
before using the water. Friends visiting my house have been much 
benefited by the use of the water. While using the water I have been 
entirely free from Dyspepsia, by which disease I have been a great sufferer. 
For Rheumatism, Constipation, Indigestion and Headache, I consider, 
from experience, Strontia a perfect cure. I hope our people will give it 
general use, for I know that it will do them great good.” 
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Liver and Kidney troubles. Additional 
proof of the Absolute Purity of the Water. 
Hon. John R. Clark, late District Attorney, Howard Co., Md.; late State 
Senator; Ellicott City, Howard Co., Md. 
“ I have often intended writing to you to inform you how much benefit 
I have received from your wonderful Strontia Water. As you are 
aware, I have been drinking it at intervals for several years, and with so 
much decided benefit that I have now determined never to be without it as 
ordinary drinking water to quench thirst, as that is the only time I drink 
water, and never at meals. 19 
“ As a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia of long standing, producing 
Indigestion, Liver and Kidney troubles, I can conscientiously recommend 
it to all afflicted. 
“ One remarkable quality of this water is its keeping perfectly pure 
and agreeable in taste for over one year in my house.” 
Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Vertigo, Loss of Appetite. 
J. Wesley Lee, Merchant, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“Your Strontia Water has, in my case, been a complete success. 
I have for a long time been suffering from Dyspepsia, producing Sick 
Headaches and Vertigo, and loss of appetite. The water has relieved me 
of all unpleasant sensations and restored my appetite. My health, con- 
sequently, is much improved.” 
Dyspepsia. 
J. T. Gray, Marshal of Police, City of Baltimore, City Hall, Baltimore. 
“ I have been using Strontia Water for a short time for Dyspepsia, 
and have found great relief from it, and believe it to be an excellent 
remedy.” 
Dyspepsia, Weakness of the Lungs. 
Miss Mary E. Slade, “ My Lady's Manor," Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ Having for years been a sufferer from Dyspepsia and weakness of the 
Lungs, I was persuaded to try the Strontia Water, which, I am happy to 
say, has benefited me greatly. I have not been obliged to take any medi- 
cine since I have been drinking the water, which is very unusual, my health 
being much better than it has been for years, which I attribute to the use of 
the water.” 
Dyspepsia, Headaches, Vertigo, etc. 
John S. Pontier, Baltimore City Detective Office. 
“ The day I met you in the court-house in Towsontown, and you 
invited me to your house to try the Strontia Water, I shall never forget, as 
from that time I date the restoration of my health. I had been suffering 
for many years with Dyspepsia, causing constant Headaches, Vertigo, 
Numbness in my limbs, loss of appetite and sleepless nights, baffling the 
skill of eminent physicians, and rendering life almost a burden. Since I 
have been using the water everything has changed, and I am now in 
perfect health in every respect.” 20 
Dyspepsia. 
Hon. J. Fred. C. Talbott, for three consecutive terms Member of Congress, 
Second District of Maryland ; residing in Lutherville, 
Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I am convinced that your Strontia Water is a most valuable remedial 
agent in cases of Dyspepsia, from witnessing its beneficial effects in the case 
of a young lady who visited my family lately. Before using the water she 
was very much exhausted from total loss of appetite and depression of 
spirits. After drinking the water some two or three weeks, she was 
entirely restored to health, and gained about twenty pounds in weight.” 
As a Nervine, Tonic and Diuretic. 
Rev. James B. Avirett, Rectory of Silver Spring Parish, Montgomery 
County, Maryland. 
“ I think 1 can safely say that I have made a fair trial of the water 
from farm in Baltimore County. I am unable to speak of its mineral 
qualities with any technical accuracy, but am quite sure that it was of service 
to me as a nervine, a tonic and a diuretic.” 
General Endorsement by a well-known Actor. 
Charles R. Thorne, Jr., New York. 
“ The water arrived safely. I have used it and found it very good,' and 
it has relieved me greatly. When I run out I will send for more.” 
Thomas Dixon, Architect, 8 N Charles Street, Baltimore. 
“ I have been drinking Strontia Water from the welTon your farm in 
Baltimore County for several months, and have derived great benefit from 
its use. I have suffered many years from Dyspepsia, producing violent 
Headaches and other afflictions. Several members of my family have used 
it with like happy results, and we propose to continue drinking it.” 
Dyspepsia and Headaches. 
Dyspepsia. 
John H. Scharf, Ice Dealer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I cannot find words too strong to express my opinion of the value of 
your Mineral Water in cases of Dyspepsia. I am sure that I have suffered 
with Dyspepsia for the past twenty years, tried every known remedy, and 
have had the advice of eminent physicians, who finally gave iip my case as 21 
hopeless. I was confined for nearly two years to a diet of cracked wheat and 
tea. I commenced using your Mineral Water about three or four months 
since, and the result has been truly remarkable. Iam to-day in as perfect 
health as I have ever known in my life. I can eat any kind of food with 
impunity, and weigh more now than I ever have before. All of which I 
attribute entirely to the use of the Strontia Water.” 
Headaches. 
Charles B. McClean,for the last twelve years Surveyor of Baltimore Co., 
Md., residing in Towsontown. 
“ I take pleasure in testifying to the excellence and efficiency of the 
Strontia Water lately discovered on your farm. I used it, with uniform 
and invariable success, during severe and frequently recurring attacks of 
Headaches, which, however, have been of rare occurrence since I have 
been using the remedy mentioned.” 
Dyspepsia and Neuralgia of the Stomach, Sick Headache, 
Heartburn. 
Mrs. Jennie E. King, Brooklandville, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I have been suffering for three years with the Dyspepsia and Neuralgia 
of the Stomach, and have tried six different physicians, but none of them 
have ever cured me. Since I have been drinking pretty freely of the 
Strontia Water I have found it to do me more good than all the doctors’ 
medicines I have ever taken. For Sick Headache and Heartburn I don’t 
think there is anything that can equal the Strontia Water. I find it has 
done me much good in a great many ways.” 
Sick Headaches. 
Charles W. Lee, Merchant, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I desire to give my testimony in regard to your Strontia Water. In 
cases of Sick Headaches it gives almost instant relief. I speak from 
personal experience.” 
Dyspepsia. 
W H. Goodwin, Farmer, Texas, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I think it my duty to testify to the benefit my wife has received from 
the use of your Strontia Water. For many years before and after her 
marriage she has been a great sufferer from Dyspepsia. The use of the 
water she obtained from you has not only relieved her, but has effected a 
permanent cure.” 22 
Tendency to Bright’s Disease. 
Charles Hamilton, Florist, Waverly, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I have been afflicted with a disease of the Kidneys since 1861. I 
was at that time under the care of physicians, who used variqus remedies, 
sometimes as many as a half-dozen cups at a time, which would give me 
temporary relief. Their opinion was that my case had a tendency to 
Bright’s Disease. I have had a number of physicians attending me since 
without being able to effect a cure. I concluded to try Strontia Water, and 
I can fully testify to the fact that the use of the water has entirely relieved 
me of all pain and trouble, which all other remedies, both internal and 
external, utterly failed to accomplish, and I have no doubt I am entirely 
cured. I can also fully testify to the great benefit my daughter has received 
in a very violent case of Dyspepsia, and also in regard to the general 
benefit derived by some of my neighbors to whom I gave some of the 
water. By reference to me their names and diseases will be furnished.” 
Liver and Kidneys. 
Daniel C. Grey, Farmer, Brooklandville, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ It gives me great pleasure to testify to the benefit my wife has 
derived from the use of the water obtained from your place, which, I 
understand, you have named Strontia Water. She had been, for some 
seven or eight years, a very great sufferer from an affection of the Liver 
and Kidneys, which produced utter prostration. She had the advice of 
eminent physicians, but was unable to obtain relief. In the fall of 1876 she 
was so reduced as to be unable to leave her room, and so continued until 
this spring. About the early part of April she commenced using the water, 
and in about six weeks she gained some ten or twelve pounds in weight, 
was enabled to attend to her household duties with an entirely restored 
health, and has so continued to the present time, which we attribute to the 
use of the water.” 
Dyspepsia. 
William Arnold, Cooper, 240 Co?iway Si., Baltimore. 
“ I have been for many years one of the greatest sufferers with 
Dyspepsia in this city, and have spent hundreds of dollars in medicines 
and advice, but without being able to receive any relief; and I can truly 
say your Strontia Water has done wonders for me in the short time I have 
been using it, which has been about two or three months, and I feel assured 
that it has effected a permanent cure. I am now about 20 pounds heavier 
than when I commenced the use of the water." 23 
Kidney Disease 
George Williams, Farmer, Davidsonville, Anne Arundel Co., Md. 
“ I feel it my duty, for the sake of others who may be similarly affected, 
to say that the Strontia Water which I have been using, at the advice of 
my physician, for Kidney troubles has given me the desired relief. For 
the past six weeks I have had no return of them.” 
William Grason, Attorney at Law, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md., now 
associated with his father, Hon. Richard Grason, late fustice 
of the Court of Appeals of the State of Maryland. 
“ I beg leave to add my testimony as to the efficiency of your Strontia 
Water. I have used it in Dyspepsia with the most beneficial results; 
indeed it has afforded entire and permanent relief.” 
Dyspepsia. 
Dyspepsia. 
Case of Babetta Schwappack, certified to by Hon. C. Bohn Slinglujf, 
Attorney at Law and State Senator for Baltimore Co., Md., 
residing in Towsontown. 
“ By mere accident I took your Strontia Water, and its effects on my 
health have been so markedly favorable that I feel in my duty bound to give 
you this certificate. For a long time I have been suffering from Dyspepsia, 
which rendered my life miserable. Mrs. Slingluff, with whom I live, got 
some of your mineral water, and I took a glass before each meal; I found 
decided relief after using it two or three days, and have continued to 
improve steadily. I do believe it to be a complete cure for my disease, and 
advise any person who may read this to give it a trial. 
BABETTA SCHWAPPACK.” 
“ The preceding certificate is correct in every respect. The good 
effects of the water upon the person in question have been noticed by every 
member of my family, and her case was certainly an aggravated one. 
C. BOHN SLINGLUFF, Attorney at Law.” 
Disease of the Kidneys. 
J. Maurice Watkins, Hotel Proprietor, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I desire to testify to the value of your Strontia Water. I have been, 
for many years, under medical treatment for diseases of the Kidneys, suf- 
fering severely with pains about the loins and bladder, causing great weak- 
ness of the urinary organs, loss of appetite, and generally impaired health. 
I concluded to try your Strontia Water. I have been using it freely, to the 24 
exclusion of all other medicine, for the past three or four weeks, and am 
glad to say it has given me entire relief from all trouble, and I believe I am 
now in perfect health in every respect.” 
As a Diuretic and Vermifuge. 
R. Ridgely Ware, Coal Dealer, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ A severe cold fell upon my Kidneys, producing great pain, causing 
a large lump to rise on each side of my loins; my urine was of the color 
and consistency of molasses. The use of your Strontia Water, in less than 
three days, reduced the swelling, relieved the pain, and made my urine 
clear, without the aid of any other medicine. I also used it with my 
child, aged twenty-one months. It had a weakness causing it to vomit 
every few minutes. This water checked it, and in less than twenty-four 
hours the child was relieved; it brought from its bowels a great many 
worms.” 
Case of Diabetes. 
Handy & Rullman, City Drug Store, Annapolis, Md. 
“ Please send at once a barrel of Strontia Water. It is for a party 
leaving the city on Wednesday. Be sure to send at once. This will make 
the third barrel he has used. He had been using Bethesda Water until 
we induced him to try Strontia Water, and he says one barrel of the 
Strontia is superior, and of more benefit to his wife, who suffers with Diabetes, 
than two of the Bethesda Water.

Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ I am just from a coterie of gentlemen who were discussing the respec- 
tive merits of various medicinal waters. I had no hesitation in affirming 
the superior value of your Strontia Water. You may remember that a 
few years ago I was reduced from an average weight of two hundred 
pounds to about one hundred and fifty pounds, with a gradual downward 
tendency. Dyspepsia and Disordered Kidneys were at the bottom of my 
troubles. I had sought relief in many remedies, allopathic, homeopathic, 
eclectic, &c., but in vain. At last I tried your Strontia Water. For a while 
I tried three glasses of it a day, but experienced no appreciable benefit. 
Then I doubled the quantity; that is, I took a glass of the water before, 
and one after, each meal, and I soon realized that I was on the right road. 
I then resorted to the free use of the water, drinking it exclusively—full 
tumblers of it—and frequently during the day. I had found the specific 
Dyspepsia, Disordered Kidneys. 25 
remedy. My health has been better ever since. I use the water only at 
distant intervals now, there being no necessity for it. I have scarcely a 
trace of Dyspepsia and am not troubled at all with Kidney disorder. I am 
sure that any one suffering from either of these complaints cannot fail to 
be benefited by the use of Strontia Water. But it must be taken in 
proper doses. 
‘A little Strontia is a useless thing, 
Drink deep or taste not of the priceless Spring : 
Here shallow draughts will not efface our pain, 
But drinking deeply, brings us health again/ ” 
Dyspepsia. 
J. K. Anderson, Horseshoer, cor. Paca Street and Cider Alley, 
Baltimore, Md. 
“ For the past two years I do not believe any one could have suffered 
more with that terrible curse to humanity, Dyspepsia, than myself, having 
tried about every known remedy, under the advice of the most skilful 
physicians, without being able to obtain relief, and becoming so prostrated 
from inability to eat food or drink water without causing the most intense 
suffering from pain and nausea, that I had given up all hope of recovery. 
In the month of January last I heard of the remarkable cures which were 
effected by the use of the Strontia Water, and as a last resort I determined 
to make a trial of it; consequently I abandoned all medicines, and have 
been using it freely since that time, and can truly say the effect has been 
wonderful. I am like a new man; everything I eat agrees with me, even 
the richest and heaviest food. I am daily increasing in health and 
strength, and am fully convinced that in a short time I shall be in perfect 
health in every respect.” 
Neuralgic Pain in the Head. 
Sylvester Bowen, House Painter, Towsontown, Baltimore Co., Md. 
“ Feeling truly grateful for the benefit I have received from the use 
of Strontia Water, I desire to give my testimony in regard to its virtues. 
Having suffered with the most intense Neuralgic Pain in my Head for 
more than three months, during which time I was under treatment of 
skilled physicians, taking medicine daily, without receiving the slightest 
relief, I concluded to try the effect of the water. I purchased five gallons, 
and drank it freely according to your advice, and in two weeks I was 
entirely relieved, and, believe permanently cured, as I have been without a 
return of pain for more than six weeks. I attribute my cure entirely to 
this invaluable water.” 26 
The foregoing testimonials referring chiefly to the medicinal virtues of
