daily endorsed by the leading European
physicians. In our own land Of America
thermal waters have not heretofore re-
ceived the proper amount o1 attention
and good will they deserve from medical
men. Lately, however, the fact Of their
value, as curative agent, is steadily
gaining ground and in the near future
those who still CRY cut in disparity Of
medicinal springs must become con-
WINGED that only THAR own egotism and
prejudice has kept than from acknowl-
edging to themsalsss tor their patients
that much credit in duo to mineral
waters.
Your chemist may catch and seduce
them and think to :Eeproduce them by
getting the same ingredients in solution,
but there is q wrong somewhere. Only
the greatest chemi1k Of all, whom men
call Nature, can give the final and deli
cate touches and arrange the proper
gasses with nicety and surety, which
makes the mixture safe and reliable.
Early in lSB6 DIR. Hunter, the original
locator and owner, sold the property to
c. B. Mendanhall, the present owner
and proprietOr. The sanitarium has
been enlarged and new baths added.
Mr.. Mendenhall resides in the build
ing and evary department is under his
immediate supervision and guests are
assured Of prompt and polite attention,
and every care necessary to their COM
fort.
The bafhs; and: house are kept strictly
clean and nest. Kitchen and pantry are
models ofneatness, while the linens are
noted forauperior purity and whiteness.
At present only the water from the
upper springs are used in the baths Of
the sanitaiium, which are three in num-
Der. The baths for ladies' and gentle
men are in separate buildings,each fitted
with plunge, tub and vapor baths, and
heated by the hot waters. The third
house is 1netl or}y for special diseases
which must be kept apart from others.
About eighty rods distant from the
house ls an outdoor summer bath los
feet square and from four to six feet
deep enclosed by q tight fence, known
as the Swimming Pool, which is fed with
water from the lower group the water
running imam open ditch about the same
distance. A>convenient dressing house
is in the canter, reached by bridge from
the gate. This is favorite resort Of the
gentlemen, who enjoy swimming and
diving in the miniature lake of warm
water, for it retains remarkable de.
gree of heat for SO large volume and
resembles in appearance the waters OF
the ocean. This is presumably the
largest bath OF hot mineral water in our
country.
There has just been added fourth
house with "a large mud bath, also q
shower, and arrangements are being
made for the nse of electricity. Wecan-
not here give in detail the history Of the
many remarkable cures which these
waters have affected, we can only enum-
crate the general class of diseases in
which their curative qualities have been
efficacious, the truth Of which can be
proven by the aGtualexperience Of some
one in every community in Montana,
and by visitors from all parts of the
United States.
From the many and varied proofs con-
stantly being received Of the wonderful
and in many cases almost miraculous
cures these waters are performing, we
feel justified in advising their use to per
sons afflicted with any sndevery form of
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia, paralysis,
scrofula, eczema, latent or developed
catarrh, sore throat, asthma, diseases Of
the kidney or bladder, cramps, inflamma-
tions, poisoning, mineral or vegetable.
and all kinds Of blood apd skin diseases.
To ladies these waters axe an especial
boon, curing OF relieving all forms Of
weakness and disease peculiar to the sex.
They have also proved beneficial in
