It is universally allow'd, that no Waters in Europe, are equal to these, both for internal and external Disorders, which cannot be cur'd in Italy, or the South Parts of France.

Our Goats Whey in the Mountains of Metal, excels any other in Europe, and infallibly cures all Consumptive People: Our Waters at Mallow, are much superior to those of Bristol, Scarborough, or Aix-la-Chapelle; so that if we have not as much Riches as other Nations, we have much better Medicines for the Preservation or Recovery of our Health.
