These springs burst from the base of Crowd
er's Mountain, and the location of their origin
embraces in small area at least one hundred
springs, apparently of different minerals. 1t
has been found necessary, however, to fit up
only the above four, which by their respective
numbers are known as No. 1--Lithia, or "All-
Healing" by reason of the curative virtues OF
it's waters in so great variety of cases NO.
-Chalybeate or iron No. 3-White Sulphur :;
No. 4-Red Sulphur. These springs are nice
ly fitted up under shelter, and their supply of
water, bursting from the mineral substances
beneath, is inexhaustible.' With commendable
foresight the hotel was located within AL easy
walk of these rejuvenating and health restor-
ing fountains, and guests can at all times
quaff the waters fresh from the Springs with
out inconvenience OF laboriOus walk in reach
ing them.
The success of the waters last season more
than justified the expectations Of the proprie-
tors specially the water of Spring No. l.,
which is deservedly called "All-Healing," the
water of which, used according to the dlrec-
tion of Dr. Garrett, in connection with the
other waters, is confidently recommended for
every form of skin disease; dyspepsia, in all
it's forms; constipation; sick headache scrof-
ula ulcers syphilis, and all cases of general
debility. Peculiar cases that had tried the
celebrated Hot Springs, in Arkansas, without
relief, have found prompt benefit from these
waters, and among several notable cases that
have been cured by them since the place was
opened as a health resort, may be mentioned
dyspepsia, in it's worst form prurtus vulvG ;
uterine cases in general red eczema psoria-
sis, or scaly eruption on the head ulcers Of
the mouth from dyspepsia, and all cutaneous
or scrofulous diseases constipation chronic
dysentery; catahr; and all cases Of general
debility. AS to the effect of the waters upon
dyspepsia, DR.. Garrett will guarantee them to
effect cure in all cases where the coat Of the
stomach has not become liberated.
With his characteristic liberality, and that
all may enjoy the benefits to be derived by the
use of these Springs, without money and with
out price, DR.. Garrett extends free invita-
tion to all the people Of the surrounding coun-
try to come and partake of the waters at any
and all times and as showing the reputation
the Springs have with the people fully CONVEX
SAINT with their rare medicinal qualities, it
may be mentioned that they are visited by
hundreds daily. On Saturday last there were
not less than five hundred visitors who came
for the purpose of drinking and using the wa
| terS.
The medicinal qualities of the waters having
been thus set forth, few words may suffice
in explaining the object Of the proprietors,
which is to establish a Sanitarium adapted to
the means of all. While, with the waters and
other health-restoring facilities, will be fur
nished any luxury or expensive line of fare
that the most wealthy or extravagant desire
may demand, at the same time superior &C.
commodations, both as to the tables and
rooms, will be furnished to those of limited
means. The management fully recognizes the
| fact that there are hundreds of worthy men
and women all over the country who could be
benefited, and in many instances confirmed
invalids he restored to health, by access to
these waters, did their means permit. 10 &C.
commodate this class as we'll as those more ia
vored by fortune, is one object of the proprie'
tors. Here the poor invalid may live and derive
the benefits of the waters at but little more ex-
pense than if at his own home and the wealthy
invalid or festive pleasure-seeker may secure
any comfort or luxury his inclinations may
require, and neither trespass upon the other.
While it is not place of amusement for the
dissipated or vicious, every facility is afforded
| for solid recreation at cost within the reach
of all.
Connected with the hotel, but at sufficient
distance from the sleeping apartments to pre-
vent annoyance, is a house fitted up for inno-
cent amusements. nit isa large dancing hall,
provided with string band; "a billiard room,
bowling alley and gymnasium.
The hotel proper is constructed with the
view of securing every comfort and convent
ence. Broad pazzas extend the entire length
of both sides the main buildings, affording
pleasant promenades at all hours ; the rooms
commodious, airy and comfortable the dining
room, with a capacity to seat 200 guests, large
and ventilated with automatic fans, rendering
it cool and pleasant bathrooms convenient
the best cuiSine that can be drawn from the
surrounding country, supplemented with lux
uries from abroad; a neacneSs and most COM
mendable air of cleanliness and tidiness which
pervades the whole surroundings; the pure,
bracing atmosphere and picturesque scenery,
may we'll suggest in this romantic spot the
Fountain of Youth for which Ponce DeLeOn
searched in vain.
Although this is only the second season.
now in it's height-and the season of last year
was inaugurated under peculiar disadvantages,
the success of the establishment, as intimated
at the outset of this article, is gratifying, and
it's success as growing and permanently pop
ular place of resort may be considered assured.
Over 1900 guests visited the springs last sea-
son and probably a larger number have already
been there the present season, the average
permanent guests being about ninety per day,
from all sections of the country, who form an
agreeable society.
The responsibility of its management is en-
tirely upon DR.. +. NJ. Garrett, who is present
all the time, and unsparing in his efforts to
render guests comfortable, and make them
feel at home. In this department he is ably
assisted 10y Capt. w. J. Pinchbeck, whose affa-
bility and obliging disposition render him
general favorite with all the guests. Indeed,
