Kindness,

Did it ever occur to YOU that Kindness"
was one of the elements of humility? In.
deed, it is only the humble person that is
in condition to show kindncs. to Others,

Editor Herald. Durango. Colo:
wish to state for the benefit of
my friends in particular and for the
suffering public In general. that have
been sorely afflicted with rheumatism
for some time and wanted to go to some
hot springs to try and find relief from
my pains. | thought of going to the
Trimble hot springs. but was informed
by some OF my friends that the waters
at Trimble were not hot enough. and
would do me no good | was suffer
ing great deal and thought / would
try them anyway. as did not feel able
TO go any further. my pains were so in
tense. was unable to help myself
in any way; In fact. | was as helpless
as a newborn babe, went to Trim
Bile Springs, or rather was carried
there ! found the waters hotter than
could bear. and In ten days | was per
fectiy well. and would have gotten
well sooner If had not been careless
and exposed myself to the cold.
| must say that the waters have
done wonders for me in a very short
time. and would advise all who are
suffering from rheumatism to go at
once and get cured. and not suffer in
tense pains for months as | did before
trying the only thing that not only can
help the disease, but cure 1t.
The hotel connected with the baths
is the finest In southern Colorado. and
charges are very reasonable. The
proprietor, Mr., C. C. Murray, is very
kind. and always has the interest of
his guests at heart. ! write this not
to advertise hotel or baths. but, hay
ing suffered SO much and so long from
rheumatism and found such quick re-
lief there, | write this to let other
sufferers know what these waters can
do for them.
Yours truly.
