The Arkansas advocate., 1835-05-01

sfuti niySSh 'luuaiieu io speak. BmeE past experience of their extraordnar cacy, l hesitate not to say that tbers any of that long list of diseases wb;ehs withstood the operation of ordinarv
 cine, if we except the consumption ut the patient, having the means and oo0a nifty, would not be justified in giving fb. ib trial.
 In cases of rheumatism-thosA .. from the abuse of mercury-o,taa | eruptions-with all those cases arsin@ s impurities of the blood and systen pes 'f ! ly, the Hot Springs have uniformly saa.,L sL relief, and in some cases the ,ures " been most astonishing. Persols hav" T sited them entirely drawn togeQerN their limbs distorted and wflt u,,i helpless, conid neither stand, sit, or @ VI
 -wiho, after d trial of only thre vi have been found walking about, o1Il;s ssAi the enjoyment of perfect health al vsst Hundreds of instances might be e,mso.I ted, but this would exceed you.Iim;sl Among those who are now visiting I1f Springs, IS an old gentleman, who, baaI came some weeks since, appeared hr;at with him a variety of almost all fl ala suffering and disease. He was arreDtlg fast tending to the grave, while 3 coa sumption appeared to be seizing tn hj lungs. He eeughed almost contlnty at tended with such symptoms and efts sg induced all to believe that his lunword seriously affected; so that he wasmosl induced to give up all as gone, aahiof only of the few days which remad ta him. He has, however, been dilie and indefatigable in the prudent use of wa. ters, and is now in the enjoyment olera. bic health, and apparently IS fast reenue his usual strength and yigor. Ang tbe whole number there is not one with sin. gle exception of an old gentleman uards of seventy years of age, who are not!by improving. As 1t regards myself, if tbe operations which the use of the wat af. ter a trial of few days only, have hapon a most inveterate rheumatic affections. ven to ten years standing, which has He'd every remedy, l am prepared to teye every thing as it regards the many hing qualities which these waters possess.
 As 1t regards the accommodations, at- ever they may have been heretoforeey are such as no reasonable indiYiduaan complain of; and from appearances,ih ,ih the entefprising spint of the present pn. etors, We may anticipate that wheneit arrangements shall be fully completehe accommodation will be even. bettcla at present, and far, very far in advanof what they have heretofore ever been. he baths, in sufficient number, have been [ built and placed in complete rerair, and constructed as to have i'll view the prIyac comfort. and convenience Of those whou them. The buildings, although not mag 6eent, have been repaired throughout, that they are comfortable. In additlo gardens have been made and vegetabl planted, while mechanics are sill at wo extending the improvements, so that p sons anxious to visit the Hot Springs re not be deferred, as heretofore, from app hension of want of reasonable accomn dations, sufficient at least to secure tn comfort. In addition to the accommo( tiors which ] have mentioned, l should ungratefnl if were 10 omit to mention kind and accommodating spirit and dlspo ton of the master and mistress of the far ly.f
 When we contemplate the Hot Sprn with reference to the population on the M sissippi, including New Orleans, who almost compelled to seek retreat front unwholesome atmosphere where they side-and consider their easy accessi the Arkansas and Red rivers, and inch in our estimate the immense body of pla CTS spreading over the rich soil of 'Iel when we take into view also their aim miraculous healing virtues, which will cure visitors from every quarter, and sulphur and chalybeate springs exist wit an hours ride-with great variety of otl circumstances of less note, we may N confidence assert that the HoT SPRINGS ARKANSAS will, at no very distant peri become a place of much greater resort il any other watering place upon the wh surface of the globe. At present only invalid, the infrm, the lame, and the will make them their resting place; and all such we eheerfully recommend to h ten their preparations, that they may s' wash away their nlaladies.
 Yours, &c.
