REMEDY FOR FEVER AND AGUE-Dupont's Artesian Well
Water.--One of our citizens, in whose statements we
have always placed implicit confidence, informed us
yesterday, that he had used the water from the
artesian well with perfect success in the cure of fever
and ague. Perplexed almost to desperation with the
chills, he happily thought that there might be some
efficacy in the mineral water brought to light from so
great a depth. He consequently ventured to make
the experiment, and with the greatest success.
Delighted at the results, he divulged the secret to
several persons afflicted with this unpleasant and
distressing disease, and they recovered, the chills
being broken almost instantly. We regard
these facts as of great importance, and trust that the
facility will make the experiments necessary to insure
the public confidence in this new and cheap remedy.
If this discovery proves correct, there will immediately
arise a demand for Dupont's artesian water that will be
apt to exhaust the supply, unless a more powerful stream
be found.
