THE UNITED OPINION. FRIDAY MORNING, OCT 49, 1906

The UN
ments offered, is the fact that the oppor-
tunities for pleasure are numerous in and
about Mt, Clemens, and the citizens cater
to the fancies of all classes. This makes
Mt. Clemens very desirable Health and
Pleasure Resort all the year round. ="
The baths at Mt Clemens are admins
tered with more care and attention than
at any bathing place we know Of. En-
gagements are made at the office of the
bath-house for the exact time the invalid
desires to battle, or can make an appoint
ment First to come makes choice of
time and attendants, and only one person
is admitted into the bathing department
for any one attendant at the same time.
The time allowed for each bath is one
half hour. OF course, occasionally a
longer bath is given, but they usually aver
age about that length of time, frequently
few minutes less. Most of the time the
invalid is in the bath-tub he is being work.
ed upon by the attendant, especially those
afflicted with rheumatism and kindred
troubles Rubbing, kneading and pat
ting the afflicted parts, or the whole body is
the general order of attention bestowed
upon the person of the bather, and in
many cases they materially assist the
JUutn hriT oh
fit. Fifteen minutes is the average time
occupied in the bath-tub, and after the
bath, a thorough drying and rubbing is
administered, after which sufficient time
is spent in the cooling room to reduce
the heat of the body to its normal condi-
ton, as nearly as possible, before the in
valid is allowed to venture out of doors.
Thus all danger from taking cold is guard
ed against by this precaution.
A list of diseases successfully treated
include rheumatic affections, embracing
inAammatory and chronic rheumatism,
stiffened joints, sciatica, lumbago, and all
forms of muscular rheumatism and govt.
Skin diseases, such as eczema, salt
rheum, psoriasis, erysipelas, and scrofula
in whatever form.
Blood poisoning, lead and mercurial
poisoning, biliousness and lives troubles,
paralysis, Locomotor-Ataxia, epilepsy,
and paralysis following cerebrospinal
meningitis, neuralgia, insomnia, hysteria,
alcoholism, St. Vitus' dance, etc.
Female diseases, general debility, ner-
vous prostration, protracted convalescence
following exhausting diseases.
Catarrhal difficulties, bleeding of the
kidneys, catarrh of the bladder, diabetes,
dyspepsia, constipation, sick headache,
etc
The main object of this CORES
pondence is to bring to the attention
of our readers the value of Mt.
Clemens baths in various troubles
and the ease with which they can
reach them, and to assure them that
while there are many thousands of
visitors who patronize the twenty
five hotels and over four hundred
boarding houses in the city, there is
no disposition shown anywhere to
eXtort money by eXorbitant charges
from the people going there, on the
other hand the rates are within the
means of almost anyone. 500 will
take a person from any part of New
England there, give them the pre-
scribed number of baths, twenty
one, and see them back home, after
having had as good accommoda-
tons as need be. We are salts
fed from investigation and from
our own personal experience that
cures in very serious cases can be
confidently expected by at least Is
per cent.
On Tuesday afternoon, Septem-
Der 25th, in company with Hon.
A. E. Sleeper, Bradford boy, who
has made a splendid success for
himself in the state of Michigan for
the past twenty-five years, | left
Mt. Clemens on my homeward trip,
stopping for a delightful visit in St.
Clair, Sahilac, and Huron counties.
Of course, it is well known to OPIN-
ION readers that Mr.. Sleeper has
been for two terms State Senator,
having filled the position with such
to his constituents that
higher honors are in store for him,
and it was strongly intimated by
leading citizens whom | met that
in two years from now he will be
the unanimous choice of the repub-
lican party for State Treasurer.
While at PortHuron we met many |
prominent citizens Of that -four
ishing city among whom were Mr..
Moore of the St. Clair, County Saw
ings Bank, Mr.. Avery, Collector of
Customs, Congressman McMorran,
the Shermans, father and son, who |
have one Of the finest printing es-
in that section, and |
from whose office the Port Huron
Times is published. A very large
part of their business is furnished |
by the society of the Maccabees,
which is very strong in the West.
On the Goth, we took the 1910
a. m. train for Bad Axe, (67 miles
distant, about midway between
Port Huron and Saginaw,) the
county seat of Huron County, with
about 400 inhabitants. The coun-
try is quite level and abounds in
fine farming land. We were for
