WARM SPRINGS, PERRY COUNTY, PA. rPFtn ur.derxlgried begs leave to inform the public, that -*- lie hag recently purchased the Warm Sprint#, in Perry county, Pa , and has improved and refurnished the building# for the entertainment of visiters, in a style calculated to ensure couifort and convenience to all who may feel disposed to patronize the establishment. These springs are situated on the banks of ami empty Into Sherman's creek, a stream assoc ated with the thrill ing seen< between the early settlers of that part of I Pennsylvania and the aborigines, whose hunting grounds lay on Its margin They are 11 miles from Carlisle, (through which Ibe Cumberland Valley Railroad passes from Chambersburg to Uarrisburg,) from whkh place visiters can at alt times procure excellent convey arires. Those also from the easi. wishing to reach the springs by the Central Railroad, can do so by taking passage to the Duncannon Iron Works, (13 miles distant from the springs) where coaches are constantly in readiness to convey them thither; and those coming from the west on the same road, can at ail tunes obtain easy conveyan ces at the Railroad Hotel at Newport, which is but a few miles distant from the springs The qualities of the water at these springs are most extraordinary indeed for the speedy and permanent cure of SCROFULA, TETTER, Eruption vf the Skin, and In J act every sptciet nf Cutantoue Vutasrs. He has hundreds of certificates, showing the wonderful cures effected by using this water internally, and by bathing in It, obtained as well from strangers as from those residing I't the immediate neighborhood of the springs, w ho have not only experienced the infallible efficacy of the water themselves, but witnessed lite same upon others. Prof JAMES C BOOTH has analyzed the waters, and found them to contain W 2 grains of solid matter in the gallon, which is composed as follows : Carbonate of lime, ... 2 (if,7 " magnesia, - - 1 b3S Alkaline salts, chiefly cltlorWies. wish a p>,r lion of sulphate, I Htl3 Hiliela - - - - 0 603 Organic matter, "... 2.MIT 1t.200 There are also at the same piace half a dozen of other springs, of different ilescrtptions, among which is one <>f sulphur and one of cold water. It rosy not be imiiropertostate why a knowledge of the extraordinary medical qualities of these springs has not (•••en more extensively known than is indicated by lh<- certificate# of those only who have resided in their im nedtate neighborhood. Yi-ars ago the property fell into 'tie hands of a number of heirs, who were indisposed to undertake the repon#ibility of making it place of pob tic entertainment —probably because the patronage ol'the pjblic would not have justified the undertaking, as at 'bat time (before the apirit nf improvement had rend red distant and difficult points nf speedy and cheap access,) Us location was out of the way, and the roads to il rough ar,.) almost impassable At the death of Mr. Kennedy, it fell into the hands of hi# heirr, neither of whom seem il disposed to lake hold of it, but leas' d it to tenant#, more for the cultivation of the land than a regard to the use of the water It was finally rented to Mr flippte, (now proprietor of a large hotel in Treiuorit. I'a ) who made arrangements to accommodate the public, and dur ing hi* term many invalids availed themselves of lids opportunity to visit and test it* medical qualities Mr liipph- however retired in a short time, and the property again fell into the hands of the. tu ir< and remained so iiilil proceeding# were instituted u> the.
