crov/nfor every vifit,or a louis d'or for two weeks attend- 

 ance. — I think he is a well-meaning man ; and he cer- 

 tainly is experienced in the proper ufe of thefe waterss 

 — He has publifhed a fmall book on them. It has lately 

 been tranflatedjhterally enough, by an EngliOi travelhng 

 Dr. B — Pugh, with fome additional obfervations, and 

 cafes. — The waters have certainly performed wonder- 

 ful cures in recent cafes of fuch palfeys as affect on- 

 ly part of the body, alfo in partial obllruftlons, rheu- 

 niatifms, and fiaticas. — They are not proper in cafes of 

 general relaxation. Many are hurt by drinking them 

 exceffively. — I have experienced that when drank with

 of it for my complaints of decayed appetite, and indigel- 



tion I never exceeded eight fmall glafies, taken at a

 tion. — Such bounty, I am convinced, will give her high- 

 nefs a better claim to good fame in this world, and a. 

 crown of glory in the next, than if, in imitation of fome 

 wonderful emperors, empreffes, kings, queens, princes, 

 and princeffcs, Iho had alienated valuable territories to 

 the Holy Father at Rome, or if Ihe had burdened her 

 people and dr;;ined her treafurv by fplendid and rich 

 gifts to the Holy Mother at Loretto.
