N. B. It has not been considered necessary to speak of the character of the Blue Lick Water. It is most extensively known as the finest mineral water, conducing, in a more eminent degree, to the restoration of health, and its preservation, than any other in the United States. As an evidence of this fact, it need simple be told that there is a constant supply of it kept in all principal cities, not only in Kentucky, but in the adjoining States.” (Kentucky Gazette, 5 Nov. 1840)
