During my whole professional life I have been accustomed to use freely the Water of Congress and Empire Springs. Abont six months since, ac- cidentally, I was furnished with a few bottles of the " Excelsior " Spring Water, and found it so much more agreeable to the taste and pleasant in its ef- fects than either Congress or Empire Water, that I have since used it myself. and recommend it to pa- tients requiring a gentle Cathartic and Diuretic.

This water is of excellent strength. It is espe- cially noticeable that the ratio of Magnesia to Lime is unusually large, which is a decided advantage. C. F. CHANDLER, Ph. D.,
