The Healthiest Spot on Earth
Fine Mineral Water-T1ae Best
Place to Spend the Spring;
and Summer Months.

Southern Pines, Moore Co, N. G., is situa,
ted on a high sand mountain, and there are
several causes which go to make 1t the
healthiest spot on earth, and the very best
place to stop at during the spring and sum
mer months. Its elevation above the sur,
rounding section for more than one hundred
miles causes q delightful breeze at all times
during the summer. It's location amid . vast
forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmos-
phere which physicians of national reputation
say is the most healthful to be found in the
United States. The soil being a pure bite
sand gives perfect drainage, and therefore
no form of malaria can exist. The mineral
springs near by, issueing from a singular
medical store house hnilt by nature and curl
ously situated in this sand mountain seems
as though the Creator intended this, spot as O
place where mankind might rest and regain
health.
This place was first noted as a winter
health resort, and thousands of persons from
the Northern States have come to It during
the past few years; and without a single ex-
ception they have been benefited. Daring
the past two summers it has been shown by
actual test thai those suffering from weak
ness of mind or body can find greater relief
at this place than any other. known resort.
DIR. Wild, an eminent physician of Connecti
cut and editor Of the New England Medical
Monthly has been investigating for the ben
eft of Northern physicians, and he says
Southern Pines is the best known place for
those who need rest and sleep. He says the
first inclination enc has is to sleep, and that
this rest, without the use of drugs, enables
the natural forces of the body to impart
strength to the diseased parts. Those suffer
ing from indigestion, rheumatism and all
blood disorders, nervousness caused by over
work or any other cause, find relief and
health without taking medicine.
Visit Southern Pines and stop at the
Southern Pines House.

Those who cannot visit Southern Pines can
