BROWNELL.-A notable essay.

A Bo,ton Man Plensnd.

In conversation with some friends, n
prominent Boston man told of his suf-
ferings from rheumatism and nervous
ness, and one of his friends gave him
some advice, which will be mentioned
later, and which has proven TO be of in
calculable value.
To successfully act on the advice, it
was necessary TO make a trip of over
1000 miles, but he understood it, and
now thanks his friend for the advice
as he finds himself fully relieved of his
old trouble and has returned to his
home feeling able to cope with his bust
ness demands, a new man.
The advice given was to go TO slot
Springs, South Dakota, and there take
the baths and enjoy the finest climate
of any health resort in America.
If this man was satisfied after MAX
ing long trip, those residing within a
few hundred miles and similarly af-
fiicted can certainly afford to try it, or
rather can't afford to neglect to try it.

Line for full particulars, or write
