ocr: | 1 j ; , HOPKINS’ CHALYBEATE WATER. T 1 HIS is the title of a MINERAL WATER obtained from a well upon the farm of Wm. j Hopkins, in Baltimore county, Md., within 15 miles of the city of Baltimore, and 1 mile of the Philadel phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad. The well was dug in 1555, and is 80 feet deep; the water 1 standing - within 8 feet of the surface of the earth.— Numerous experiments made in order to test the supply of Water, only confirm the opinion that it is inexhaustible. The soil in which the well is dug - , is a tenacious Red Clay, varieg-ated with frequent strata of Mag nesian Earth, and the Water rises through the o riginal Sand Stone Rock. Its temperature when drawn from the well is 52 deg. Fahrenheit. This Water has been extensively used by inval ids for nearly two years, and has acquired great celebrity as a curative in Dyspepsia, loss of Appe tite, Indigestion, Extreme Debility, and in various Atonic and Anemic conditions; through the instru mentality of those who have been sig-nally benefit ed by its use. Its most prominent in-") Carbonate of Protox gredients according to a I yd of Iron, and Free recent qualitative analy- f Carbonic Acid Gas. sis are : J It also contains Carbonate of Magnesia, Chloride of Magnesium, Chloride of Potassium, Chloride of Calcium, Carbonate of Lime, a trace. And what is very remarkable, no Sulphur. A Water combining such ingredients will at once be recognized by Physicians as a valuable Remedi al Agent, and being pleasant to the taste, and no ingredient contra-indicating its use as a common drink, it will doubtless become a popular Beverage. DIRECTIONS FOR USE. The entire contents of a bottle may be drank be fore breakfast, and the same ouantity, if desired, before dinner or at bed-time; thus used it has been found to give tone to the stomach, and to improve digestion to a remarkable extent. The opinions of some of our most eminent Physi cians, and other prominent citizens are annexed, and will abundantly establish what is above stated. CERTIFICATES AND TESTIMONIALS. To J. V’D. Stewart —Esteemed Friend; I have a very favorable opinion of the Hopkins’ Chalybeate Water, and believe it to be well adapted to many cases of Dyspepsia, Chlorosis, Anemia, and Gene ral Debility. Respectfully, Richard H. Thomas, M. D. Professor in University of Maryland. Baltimore, 4th Mo., 1857. We cheerfully concur in the opinions expressed by Dr. Thomas. N. R. Smith, M. D., John Buckler, 31. D. Prof, in University of Md. Geo. S. Gibson, M. D. Jno. P. Mackenzie, M. D. Thos. H. Buckler, “ J. H. Patterson, M. D. F. E. Chatard, M. D.

ocr: i paired. THE DESERTED ROAD. Ancient road, that wind’st deserted* Thrugh the level of the vale, Sweeping toward the crowded market. Like a stream without a sail. Standing by thee, I look backward, And, as in the light of dreams, See the years descend and vanish, Like thy.whitely tented teams. Here I stroll along the village As in youth’s departed morn ; But I miss the crowded coaches, And the driver’s bugle-horn— Miss the crowd of jovial teamsters Filling buckets at the wells, With their wains from Conestoga, And their orchestras of Bells. To the mossy way-side tavern Comes the noisy throng no more, And the faded sign, complaining, Swings, unnoticed, at the door ; While the old, decrepid tollman, Waiting for the few who pass, Reads the melancholy story * Tj-1 f 11lr-L-1 \r L'r,r;t,mnPL_r-yn;_. Ancient highway, thou art vanquished; The usurper of the vale Rolls in fiery, iron rattle, Exultations on the gale.

Though neglected, gray and grassy, , Still I pray that my decline May be through as vernal valleys . And as blest a calm as thine.
