This popular and delightful summer resort is situated in the mountains of the Valley of Virginia, eleven miles west of Harrisonburg, Virginia. The wonderful medicinal virtues of the waters have long been known, and it has been the resort of the invalid for many years.
      The springs are reached easily in one day from Baltimore, Washington and Alexandria, by way of the A&M Railroad, as well as the B&O Railroad via Winchester, Harper's Ferry, and Strasburg, or by way of the C&O and Valley Railroads from all points South and West -- either route bringing visitors through the magnificent Shenandoah Valley, so full of historic incidents connected with the late Civil War.
      A recent analysis of the Rawley water, by that eminent chemist, Professor Mallet, of the University of Virginia, shows that in addition to iron it contains carbonic acid, which is also powerfully tonic. According to the analysis, this water holds in solution manganese, alumina, magnesia, lithia, soda, potash, sulphuric acid, amonia and chlorine, and is therefore entitled to rank not only as a TONIC, but also as an ALTERNATIVE water, possessing medicinal and curative properties of a very high order.
