individual in the United States who is not acquainted, either 
by experience or report, with the salutary effects df the Con- 
gress Spring Water at Saratoga. From thirty to fifty thou- 
sand persons annually visit these springs, many from the re- 
motest sections of the United States, and some from the 
joy what is so conducive to general health in the hot weather 
of our summer months, From these circumstances, George 
W. Carpenter is pleased to announce the preparation of the 
above powders, containing all the essential substances with 
which these celebrated Springs are impregnated, and from 
which the waters of the Congress Springs at Saratoga are 
precisely and effectually imitated. ith a view to accom- 
modate the public, and to bring into general use so con- 
venient and valuable a substitute for these waters, he has 
been induced to go very extensively into the manufacture of 
them, and to put them ata price to be within the reach of 
most persons. For the accommodation of the public, agents 
will be appointed in all the cities and principal inland towns 
to give a general circulation to so useful an article through- 
out the country. The public are recommended to make 
trial of these powders, as he finds by experience, and from the 
opinion of the most eminent of the faculty, that the water 
made from them possesses the same medicinal qualities, is as 
effectual in its operations, and precise in taste, as that im- 
mediately taken from the Springs. These powders are there- 
fore recommended as a valuable remedy in all cases where 
the Saratoga Waters are prescribed. 
Persons on sea voyages, or residing at a distance from the 
Springs, and in warm climates, will at once perceive the 
great advantage of making use of these powders, which be- 
sides being more portable, and less expensive than the bot- 
tled water, will keep without injury for any length of time ; 
and as they are equal in medical effect to that taken fresh 
from the Springs, they are certainly much preferable from 
the many advantages they possess.
