Down With All Medicine and up
With the Waters OF Topo
Chico.

By request.
write this, hoping that all poor sufferers
may read and give the waters fair trial and
be benefited as have been. in the month
of June | was stricken down with rheuma-
tism of the very worst type. For two months
| was perfectly helpless, could not move hand
or foot / had to be fed as If were an infant.
One of nay physicians said it was the bird
case of the kid he had seen in his practice of
all the time. No one could relieve me: Fin
ally my friends suggested that ] should go 10
ToDo Chico springs. All right, would START
if never got there. and was too low u care
In fact death would have been welcome
messenger.
ON my way had to be lifted from train 10
train, and thought bad never met such at,
fentvs nont PeSPe Mr. R Rnsse the pr@
prietor of Hotel Hidago, and one of
Mexico's warm-hearted Americans, and his
family, cordially received me. and gave all
the attentions possible. The next morning
was placed on the street cars and ia forty
five minutes / had reached the springs:
There gathered around all the Americans of
Topo Chico with their souls in their ewes and
their hearts in their hands. They soaked me
in the waters for half hour each day and in
ten days | could stand on my feet. in two
weeks l could be led twenty steps. and in four
weeks c 'uld walk 10 my bath which was at
the distance of two blocks
Now is that not better than medicine? 1
should ay so?
o, ye waters of Topo Chico, long may you
flow
To heal the poor sufferers who may per-
chance go
And be treated and benefited as ! have
been
BY your noble people, such was never seen.
I also extend many thanks to Major ]. Ran
die and family, Mr.. Frank Hall and family,
Mrs. Glass, Miss Busse, Mrs. Copeland, Mr..
HOke and many others. Their friendship came
to me like rays of sunlight, canning on the
tablets of memory, never to be effaced.
Respectfully,
MRS. S. WILLIAMS,

Hundreds of such cases of recovery from
rheu IN itiSm, govt etc, could be cited. and
many in this city can testify to the efficacy of
these springs which are now visited extensive
ly. Northern health-seekers are now turning
their ewes towards Monterey, whose beautiful
climate has restored many a sufferer from
pulmonary troubles, and whose thermal
springs have eradicated diseases which were
the place. and the increasing influx of suffer
ers is a testimony of It.
The genial proprietor. Major Jules A. Ran
die is making every effort to make Topo Chico
a most comfortable and pleasant health resort
which it highly deserves. He has secured the
location at Topo Chico, OF one of Hot
Springs. Arkansas. most able physician
and surgeon, DR.. J. Combs, gentle
man whose professional skill and at
tainments are second TO none. The services
of such a physician are of the highest i'm.
portsnce to the health seeker, as prudence is
required in taking course of baths. They
should ALWAYS be taken according to physi- |
clans advice.
Monterey and Topo Chico have the most
genial American colony in Mexico; alway IS
ready TO assist a visitor, and entertaining |
their guests in a manner of which their |
country may well be proud.
