may read that they may be benefited as
have been. In the month of June, 1889,
was stricken down in my bed for three
months; l suffered intense agony; laid
perfectly helpless all the WHILE / had
many, many doctors to treat me. Some
SAID 1t was rheumatism of an incurable
kind, and some said 1t was paralysis. The
last doctor that treated me sent me to
Topo Chico springs, where gained rapid
ly and in five weeks walked on crutches
and when there seven weeks / was ad-
yised by DR.. Coombs, the physician then
in charge of the home, and on account
of my circumstances / was COM
PEELED to go to work, and by the LIST
of May, 1890, relapsed and was completely
broken down as bad as before. All the
doctors / know, said it was hopeless case
and it was no use to do any thing. l
took nobodys advice but acted according
to my own judgment and returned to
Topo Chico. found that Major Randle
the proprietor, had secured the services
of DR.. MacMaster one of the finest
physicians in the world. He was born
in scarborough, Scotland educated in
London and his professional skill is
second to none. / consulted him and it
did not take him ten minutes to diagnose
my case Schlevosis which was inflammation
Of the spinal column. He took
hold of my case treated me five months,
and today walk as well as / ever did.
Every case he takes he has his patients

doctors that could tell me what was the

home, now, to San Antonio, l have been
told by over three, yes, five hundred peo-
pie that mine is the most wonderful re-
covery on record, and that DR., MacMaSter
and TOpo Chico has no equal. / have seen
people go there perfectly helpless with
rheumatism, and in four weeks return
home entirely cured.
Major Randle is making every effort to
make Topo Chico a most pleasant health
resort. He went to Mexico some years
ago and opened the way for Others to fol-
low, and today Monterey has the most
genial American colony in Mexico, but
not one holds higher claims to the graft
tude of citizens of Monterey and the Wis
itors of Topo Chico than Major Randle.
In every emergency he has proved him.

be proud.

the bath house, is always kind and cour-
teous to all visitors and makes every ef-
fort to accommodate and make it pleasant
for any and all.
