About 100 yards north OF the
hot springs Is situated the
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
which show the following analysis {:
white sulphur, sulphate, sui
phur OF magnesia, arsenic, sui
phur Of potash, silina and soda,
Temperature So fahr. Thus it will
be seen that the Creator of the
universe has bestowed upon those
springs all the medicinal ingre-
dients that are required to cleanse
the children Of Adam and Eve and
prepare them to re.enter the
garden OF Eden.
THE DISEASES THAT THEY WILL
Rheumatism, catarrh, blood
poisoning, kidney disorders, liver
complaints, alcoholism, disease Of
private nature, malarial fever,
woman complaints, chills, govt,
scrofuls and as a preventative Of
cholera and yellow fever they
are not surpassed in the known
world.
AS the waters boil out of the
bowels of the earth, they are free
from organic impurities-hence
for drinking and cooking purposes
they are unequaled.
HOW TO GET TO THE SPRINGS.
All those who desire to go to the
springs, either on pleasure bent, or
for the benefit OF their health,
should write for copies Of the San
Antonio
DAILY LIGHT,
which is the only paper that is
published on the American conti-
nent that gives a correct descrip-
ton of scenes of Mexico. On ar
rival at Monterey they should
call on Major Jules A. Rspdle,
the proprietor Of the springs,
and he will put them aboard
OF his street cars, send them
to the springs, put them
through a course OF baths, and ii
they are not hard shell, they will
be restored to perfect health in a
month.
THE SCENERY.
The springs are surrounded by
some of the most picturesque
mountains on the American con-
tinent. OF to the northwest looms
up the Garcia mountains, to the
west and south the Sierra la Mitre
and Obispada, to the southeast
the Sierra la Silla, and to the south
of the springs towers above them
all the
SIERRA MADRE,
whose eeried peaks seem TO pierce
the starry skies; while under their
shadows nestle the lesser Sierras,
while off to the east as far as the
eye can reach are the plains OF
Monterey, which are dotted in
places with towns and ranches,
fields OF corn, sugarcane, orange
and banana growths and orchards
of tropical fruits, while four miles
away is situated picturesque Mon
terey with her smoke stacks and
church steeples; like the light
houses on the sea shore, they are
seen for miles away.
1t is adapted to the wants OF the
sick and afflicted. 1t is neither too
hot in summer nor cold in winter.
There is not day in the year but
what men, women and children
can battle in them.
During the summer months
there is a gentle breeze which
comes across the mountains from
the Gulf Of Mexico, that is laden
with ozone that purifies the
atmosphere, while in winter they
are protected from the north winds
by the Topo Chico mountains.
Thus it will be seen that there
are no springs in the known world
that are so favorably situated as
