RED SULPHUR SfRINGS, July IS
This beautiful place Of health and rest
is in Monroe county, midway between
Lowell on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad and Zurich on the East river
division of the Norfolk and Western
railroad, fourteen miles from each. The
buildings and grounds nestle among the
most enchanting mountains Of West
Virginia. The White Sulphur. Salt
SULPHUR, Sweet Springs, Chalybeate
Springs and others are close at hand'
so that we are in the midst OF West
Virginia's wonderful region Of health
giving waters, which alone will be
source of wealth growing as
poUulation shall increase. Nature
has blessed our good State
IA this as we'll as many other respects.
The grounds and buildings are picture
of reDose and beauty As l write good
band is enliyeuing she lawn with ltS
music. There are now one hundred ana
twenty guests here, more than ever De-
fore so early in the season. Three
hundred can be comfortably accom-
n.Odated
In yonder old section OF the build
iugs, President Monroe, Chief Justice
fancy, General Scott, and Daniel Neo-
ster passed peaceful weeks, free from
cares Of State. As long ago as 1885, ChleI
Justice fancy paid the water oil the
Red Sulphur very great praise.
liz is said TO be the single and only
water that is a specific for conSump-
tion. bronchitis and catsrrh. III you
credit the many wonderful statements
as TO the instances Of It's efficacy in con-
sumption, the wonder is that thousands
instead of hundreds, do not flock mere
TO drink it's waters. In truth, many are
the observation-disclosures cases OF suffer
ers in even the last stages Of conSump-
tion redeemed from yawning graves by
the Red sulphur.
Here YOU see many cOnsumptlves
ready, apparently, to drop into their
graves making their regular visits TO
the spring, glass in hand. You won
der, can they possibly be saved? Can
this water be TO them an elixir OF life?
Many peoDle from actual experience say
so. Many persons now IN good health
are living monuments 70 sustain the as
sertiOn They say the Red rescued
them from the tomb. How dutiful are
these frail sufferers in their visitation
10 the spring, and how hope lights up
the Door pale faces as they look into
the clean waters of the plentiful tOun-

persons coming here is the stage ride;
but il Is made i'm comfortable hacks,
along shady roads and through very
attractive scenery, and TO many is very
enjoyable.
1t must not be thought that the sick
and frail are the only ones here; for
there are many affected only slightly
with catarrh and bronchitis, and many
who are simply visitors FOR rest and
recf lti0n. The company here are
cultivated and refined people. People
are here from far-0d Texas and Col
orado-from the East, West, North and
South; from at least fourteen different
States. VISITOR.
