AT Paso Robes, Cal, arc hot sulphur
springs which closely approximate those Of
Austria in mineral elements, temperature and
sulphuric gas. Their temperature ranges from
104 degrees to 2O2 degrees. Paso Robes is on
the Southern Pacific Railroad and here a
beautiful modern bath was bull under my
direction, when / spent two weeks in this
place in 1906, organizing it for the use Of
future patients.
ITO demonstrate the superior mineral con-
tents of many American springs, let me men,
ton that one of the Paso Robes Springs con-
tanned three times the total OF solids OF the
Carlsbad sprudel springs and great deal
more gas. And this place contains other warm
or cold springs which equal or superior
to those of Carlsbad or Marenbad.

MP sATTERTHWAITE'S OPINION ON
AMERICAN SPAS.
DIR. Satterthwaite was as enthusiastic as W.
Baruch in his predictions OF the poss'On'''e,
of Saratoga, saying that its development "o1''
he an excellent thing for the state as "en .
for numbers of invalids. 1t needs the nVeS''
ment Of large amount of money to DC sure
bu, the returns will be large in his opinion
"You are doubtless aware that sara'osa -
the future will be wonderful place, nc saw
because it has the greatest variety OF "A'"'
