house to any Of our many friends who
may chance TO visit tho Springs, espec-

charming widow,
As soon us we got rested from the ia

some Of the sights OF the city noting our
pleasant surroundings, we then prepared
to try the healing qualities Of these IA
nous waters, the especial object OF our
visit being to find relief from the Cheu-
matte conditions which have afflicted my
wife for many years, There are at least
sixteen bath houses besides the govern
ment bath house.
But before taking course Of baths,

be examined by skilled physician

My wfo's physician during our stay
there was DIR. McClendon, 332 Central
Ave-, one of the finest most cour' r'eous
physicians of the South, His parlor and
consultation rooms are the finest appear
ing in the city, Soon the doctor had us
IN condition to commence the bathing
course. When we first arrived at the
Springs we felt that our lot had been
cast in strange land, among strangers,
but we soon became acquainted with
many good people, who like ourselves

their son.in-law Mr.. Carter, from North
Dakota, Mr.. Carter was brought there
by Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith to be cured Of II

taken from his bed when the thermome-
ter registered fifteen degrees below zero
in Dakota, and brought on litter to the
Springs. Strange to say, Mr.. Carter had
almost entirely recovered from his rheu-
matism and looked fat and hearty after
taking Il course OF baths. This is one
among the many cases which we wit
messed while there. However, will
only mention one more case. This one
was an extremely bad case Of paralysis,
The man was mere skeleton and could
not move or use his limbs and half of
his brain was paralyzed. After bathing
n while he was entirely cured and said
he never felt better In all his life.
These are simply samples of what the
wonderful Hot Springs will do for these
