In the none better class, modern
in every detail, is the Mecklenburg
Hotel, Chase City, Va. And it is be-
coming one of the most popular of
pleasure and health resorts. Have
you been there? If not, then we will
draw a sort of pen-picture, which at
at best, however, must give but an i'm
perfect idea of the real:
The Mecklenburg occupies an ele-
waited site, bordering on and over
looking the pretty little town of
Chase City, Virginia.
The surroundings are gently undu-
lating hills and slopes, covered with
verdure and skirted with woods and
interpreted fields, of which the eye
never tires, and presenting from the
hotel piazzas, porticoes and windows
ali ever-changing panoramic view, as
seen from every side. Malaria is not
known here, at an elevation of five
hundred and thirty-flve feet above
sea level.
The hotel itself is of the most mod
ern construction, containing every
metropolitan convenience, without a
dark room or hall in it-bright in
every nook and corner. The ordinar-
lily used water is crystal clear. epark-
ling any cool, and is derived from a
depth OF two hundred and sixty-four
feet. 1t supplies the bath and laun-
dry, and pure ice is made from it on
the premises. Besides this, it pos
sesses most valuable mineral proper
ties now being developed. The Meek
lenburg operates it own steam heat
ing and electric plant.
The Mecklenburg Mineral Springs
consist of two distinct medicinal
waters, though in close proximity to
each other, which have long been
noted and used for their curative
properties. These may be used in
combination or separately, and in
this differ materially from mineral
waters found elsewhere, in their har-
monious effects.
The Chloride Calcium Water is as
unique in its constituents as in it's
effects. The analysis shows that no
other country has produced a SINH
lar water. 1t is overwhelmingly EN-
dorsed by patients and physicians
for it's wonderful curative powers; in
catarrhal conditions of stomach and
bowels and kidney ailments. of which
there are many testimonials to be
had on application from Mecklenburg
Mineral Springs Company. These
waters are sold in bottles in cases,
the demand for which may soon reach
the limit of the springs.
The Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago awarded the Mecklenburg Lithia
and Chloride Calcium Waters medal
and certificate, being the only ones
received among all Virginia Mineral
Waters, while they latterly also re-
ceived the Worlds Fair medal and
Grand Prize at the St. Louis Worlds
Fair. =.
