Chase City, Va, Nov 12.--In all the
extensive and substantial development
that has been accomplished in this coun-
try during the past dozen years l know of
no single instance where science, mechan'
zeal genius and natural resources and ad-
vantaGes have been more completely har-
moni.ed into a much needed institution
than the recent erection of the Mecklen-
burg Hotel and Sanitarium at Virginia S
famous health resort, Chase City. OF
course the Chase City minera. waters
formed the basis for this splendid depart
ure in Southern development.
These waters, the famous Chase City
Lithia and the unmatched chloride-ca,cium
had already won fame as specifics for
many of the ills of mankind all around
the world, and the erection OF this mag
niflcent hotel and sanitarum-so COM
plete and up-to-date in it's every appoint
ment-establishes here a combination Of
comforts, convemences and advantages Tor
the health or rest seeker equal to any in
stitution Of its kind North or South.
These fountains of healing are forever
flowing with those wonderful natural spe-
cites which have received unsparlng
praise and unstinted endorsement from
the medical profession as well as the ap-
preciative public.
The Chase City mineral springs supply
two varieties of medicinal waters, both OF
them of remarkable curative properties
/ They may be used separately or IN con
junction. This rare combination OF two
distinctly different mineral waters which
act well in combination is found nowhere
else. either in this country or abroad.
The Lithia is far-famed for its wonderful
curative effects in cases of chronic kid
ney and bladder diseases, chronic Bright's
disease, stone in bladder and kidney, rheu-
matism, govt, dyspepsia, Indigestion. and
all diseases due to an excess OF uric
acid in the blood, and in all other condl'
tons where a powerful alkaline diuretlc
water is required
! The Chase City Chloride Calcium Water
IS unique in its constituents and effects.
Investigation has failed to discovcr-eith-
err in this country or Europe-another wa
ter similar to it in analysis.
Scores of members of the medical pro-
fession have endorsed it's wonderful cura-
tive powers in catarrhal conditions of the
stomach and bowels, in scrofulous and
glandular engagements, In tubercular
joint and bone diseases, and in chronic
skin diseases such as dermatitis, eczema,
chronic ulcers, etc.
1t is at these springs that the Meek,
lenburg Hotel and Sanator. UNI is located.
The buildings, which are entirely new and
modern stand upon an elevated plateau
535 feet above sea level.
The Hotel and Sanatorium is not only
of modern construction but it's interior ar
engagements, it's public and private rooms,
its sanitary and culinary equipment all
partake of the modern methods of com
fort, health and convenience. Extensive
verandas and sun parlors add to the at
Effectiveness and comfort of the building.
The cuisine and service OF the Mecklen-
burg are maintained upon the high plane
of the best hotels in the land.
I The Hydriatric Department of the
Mecklenburg Sanatorium was designed by
DR.. Simon Baruch, the famous specialist
of New York and built under his dir9c-
ton and this department seems to be as
complete as science could devise or genius
! construct. The Dauche room is provided
! with an abundance of light and sunshine
and is said to be unsurpassed by any.

prising 100 acres lying along the South
eastern border of the stirring and busy
little town of Chase City. The company
controls also the hunting privileges on
some ten thousand acres OF adjoining
lands, furnishing for the gunners unsur.
passed opportunity for field sport.
Under the management OF Major l.. K.
Gary, formerly of Richmond. with his
most competent corps of assistants the
hotel is all that the most fastidious guest
could desire.
You meet here at all times a good num-
Der of good people.
The autumn gathering at the moment is
made up OF a charming crowd of folks
from Richmond Lynchburg. Danvi]le,
