No. 'To the Public . r ~p' H E subscriber takes this method toinjorm the public, that he has taken a large and commodious house at colonel Cobb’s MINERAL SPRINGS, on Reedy creek, a few miles above the road, leading from Augufla to Louisville, where he will accommodate, on reasonable terms, all those who may have occafon to visit that place, A commentary upon the. virtues of those waters, altho * recently difcavered, is deemed unnecejfary', ds they have been ex* perienced by many tefpe&Mt vaUtndtnari* ans who can vouch jot their efp < acy, Besides the advantages to be derived from the internal use of these salubrious waters, which flow in great abundance from innu mtrablc there is perhaps no place in the world where the coldi or temparatep bath can be used with greater purity or to a greater advantage. The junction oj these little rivulets gliding over a bed of white sand and pebble', forms fd bold a Jirtam, that the trunk of a single tree fallen across its courfei conflilutcs a rtftrvoir of this cryflalme f.uid, over which a building is. ended, large enough for the bathing of twenty persons at the fame time without dif* turbing its transparency.--Other baths of different con/trudure are ending for the better accommodation as well of the ajfcded as those who may vift them for amusement or the purpose of evading the diseases inci dent to the sultry months,— It is a remark able, that well known fad , that persons in the highefl fevtr may freely use these baths to advantage'. And to crown the whole, this delightful spot is situated in a Very high and healthy part of the (late. The subscriber also informs the public that he has a general assortment of groceries and a few dry goods.—An excellent baker is about to set up his trad . here ; and it is ex peded a market provifions will be pretty wellfurnijMa.
