Millbury Sept. 9.-Elbridge G. Howe
of Howe avenue has discovered that his
spring at Howe's grove possesses some
very remarkable qualities, and he will
in short time proceed to develop them.
Howe's spring water is known in
Worcester and the valley, and many
people visit the. spring to taste of the
mineral water.
George Mann of Worcester, water
specialist, discovered a short time ago
that the spring possessed a healing
power and administered the water to
persons who We're troubled with rheu-
matism. In several cases the spring
water worked cures and several people
in Millbury can testify to this fact
1t is the idea of Mr. Mann and Mr..
Howe to form a stock company and
build sanitarium in Millbury on a
large hill opposite the spring for people
troubled with rheumatism and combine
the water of the spring and the delight
full air of the hill as a cure.
The idea has been under consideration
for a long time and it is possible that
the work on the sanitarium will begin
next spring.
1t IS certain that the water of the
spring possesses some remarkable
power, and Mr.. Howe proposes to give
it a trial
A sanitariunl built on the hill oppo-
site the spring would in itself be a good
thing for people troubled with any dis
ease, as the hill is over two hundred
feet above the sea level and is sur
rounded with luxuriant growth of
pines.
Mr.. Howe was seen by The Spy man
today and said it was true the sani-
tarium was under consideration and
that it was his idea to have a stock COM
pany operate it and use his spring
water as a cure.
Mr. Howe is at present making extern
sive repairs on his spring.
The spring is being excavated with
the idea of procuring more water. The
work will probably be completed in a
week. The water of the spring is very
popular, and today Mr.. Howe filed the
contract for supplying the excursion
party to the Yellowstone park, leaving
this city, with his spring water.
Mr.. Mann of Worcester and other
specialists on water, who have tested
the water in the spring, claim that the
water is the purest in Worcester county
and Mr.. Mann and others who have
tried it claim that it is sure cure for
rheumatism.
