The year just ended shows a total of
lol.vv VISITORS 10 these springs. which IS
approximately a gain of Ioo per cent In
five years and is the hish-water mark In
Its onward march to prosperity and popu-
larity. This Is most remaT kaole record
and must be taken as a reflection OF con-
fidencc and faith of the public In the cura-
tive and healing properties OF the waters.
That tins great healing agent exists Is
now admitted by scientific and profession
