derful springs.
The water is free to everybody to
drink or for any other purpose. The
baths cost from twenty-five to lfty
cents each.
For some kinds of diseases there is
no doubt but what in many, if not
all, cases they can be cured, Or at
least benefited.
Among the diseases susceptible of
cure by a proper trial of the waters
OF these springs in connection with
the baths, may be mentioned all
forms of rhematism. skin diseases,
stomach troubles, kidney complaint.
and many Others that could be men,

bath each day.
The gentleman with whom | took
the baths, Mr.. &. W. Davis, is a
physician, having practiced over
thirty-fve years. He gives all kinds
OF vapor baths, plain, medicated,
electro and spirit baths. They cost
from thirty-Seven to fifty cents each.

to twenty-five were given baths each
day while | was there. All seemed
to think they we're improving.
Trained and experienced attendants
conduct the baths. The addition of

for you, think will prove to be a
great advantage to all who may visit
