no means neglects or depreciates
other therapeutic agents which have
received the indorsment of scientific
investigation, and is ably assisted in
the treatment of his patients by com
petent physicians and reliable nurses.
After three years of successful
treatment, finding that they had not
water in sufficient quantities, Mr..
Wright started to drill for a larger
supply of water, and with untiring
efforts, found at the depth of l,l00
feet, vein of much stronger water
than ever. An analysis found total
solids, by weight, 100000 grains
per gallon, consisting of Sodium
Chloride, Calcium Chloride, Mag
nesium Chloride, Carbonate of Iron,
Calcium Sulphate, Calcium Carbon
ate, Magnesium Carbonate, Bro
mides and Iodines.
Being satisfied that there was
something beyond, the drilling of
a second well was commenced, and
at a depth of 1850 feet, found the
future prospects of this renowned
resort, striking a hot spring, the
temperature being 1870 to $50 de-
grees, gravity LIDO, and unlike any
mineral water in the State and
proved to be the strongest in the
L nitedStates, with 9 300 feet of water
in which was found the following
medical properties: Salinometer l.
10, Specific gravity at 60 degrees
Fahrenheit l.240. Total solids, by
weight, 269s7.459 grains per gallon,
consisting of Sodium Chloride, Cal
cium Chloride, Magnesium Chloride,
Carbonate of Iron and Bromides.
DIR. HALE's TREATMENT.
After "a years of constant use of
galvanic, faradic and static electric
ty, he is prepared to treat successful
" acute and chronic diseases from a
pathological standpoint, aided by
mineral water, Migratory exercises,
pneumatic and neuro-dynamic system
of cure, Turkish, Russian, Roman
and needle-spray; also sitz, pack,
douche, shower, pour and medicated
baths, with a iudicious use of medi-
cine, constitute in part our materia
medica.
He treats all forms of acute and
chronic diseases, including deform-
tiles of spine and extremities, rheu-
matism, neuralgia, lumbago, sciatica,
st. Nitus' dance, headaches, sleepless-
ness, fever sores, spermatorrhoca; al
so arrangement of the head, spine,
nerves, stomach, liver and kidneys,
diseases peculiar to women, rectal
diseases and their complications, hay
fever and catarrhal troubles; also
throat, lung and bronchial affections
treated by the most advanced meth
DDS known to specialists.
From the above it will be seen
that this establishment is a veritable
home for the invalid, where exhaust
ed, broken-down and diseased human
beings may obtain needed rest and
recuperation amid pleasant and con
genial surroundings, and aided by
THE BEST or CURATIVE AGENCIES.
1t was the plan of its founder to
build, furnish and manage the insti-
tuition, not as "A speculation, but to
cndow and dedicate it to individuals
seeking a comfortable home, combin-
ed with the best of care and medical
treatments; and to this end he has
placed the terms within the reach of
all. The result has exceeded his ex-
pectations, for the attractions of this
superb health-home in the heart OF
Michigan have drawn hundreds of
invalids annually to its doors from
all portions of Michigan and adjoin
ing states.
The patrons of the institution are
not all invalids, however. Hundreds
of people in the various walks OF
business and professional life have
learned that season of rest, if TAX
en- amidst such surroundings and in
connection with hygenic and curative
agencies intelligently applied, is a
profitable investment. In these high
pressure times, when the demands OF
business call for constant and unre
hitting attention to details, there is
continuous and ever-increasing ten
sion of the nervous system which be
comes at last unbearable, and its dis
astrous results are seen in the crowds
of middle-aged men and women who
swell the ranks of paralytics and con
sumptives in the sanitariums or hos
pitfalls, or sink quietly from the ranks
of labor to end their lives in re
treat for the insane. 1t is this pro
cess of condensation, of crowdlng q
lifetime into few months, with g
total lack of daily relaxation or help
full rest, which has made such insti
tutions an absolute necessity, and
that one which presents the best con
ditiops for recuperative action should
receive the preference of those seek
