NUMBER XVIII.
THE W4RM SPRINGS.
Some Remarkable Cures of
Desperate Cases Narrated
by the Proprietor.


Everybody knows Fred Burgdorf
the happy possessor of the famous
hot sulphur springs on the Warrens
trail, and he never tires of expatiating
on the merits of the waters of the
springs as cure for bodily ailments.
Last summer Fred promised to vote for
us in the event that we were a candi-
date for the legislature and would agree
to offer the springs as an amendment to
the territorial organic law, in order to
heal the defects of that instrument.
and of course We cheerfully swore by
the Great Horn Spoon that it should be
attended to, and wishing to post up on
the subject we asked:
What is the water good for?"
"Good for everything. 1t will cure
any case of yaller janders in the world.
Tell you what's fact. Summer before
last man come along with yaller
dog. He was the yalerest dog l ever
saw. Well sir, that dog fell in those
springs, and when he come out he was
as white as a sheet"
How is it for rheumatism"
III tell vou what's a fact. You
know B. Nj. l. Brown, in at Warrens?"
"Yes."
"Well sir, B. NJ. 1. had the rheuma-
tiz so bad three years ago that he had
to carry one leg over his shoulder, and
DR.. Ford prescribed for him to come
out here and try those springs. Well
sir he come out and sloshed around
for nearly month, and then he went
home and the very first prospecting
trip he made he struck the Bull Dog
ledge, the best quartz mine in Warrens.
And besides that, he can jump ten
rail fence easier now than he could fall
off log before"
"Will it cure lying?"
"Will it? You might try. it yourself.
But I'll tell you what's a fact. Your
big brother, Frank, was up here in
II, and in the summer of 80 Johnny
Redington, chief of scouts, soaked off
his scales of sin in those baths, and YOU
know yourself what sort of reputa-
ton they used to have in those days.
Well sir, ever since they used those
baths they have both settled down to
running newspapers, and they are now
said to be the most truthful editors in
the business, and now you can believe
most all they say. Take my advice
and try it yourself"
