Punta Gorda, Feb. IS, 1916
This is my sixth winter in Punta
Gorda. / am in good health and
have been. ! came here for the
water, climate and fishing. The
water benefits me considerably.
There is nothing wrong about ray
health, except that which usually
attends elderly men. In Deem
Der, 1918, Mr.. Phil Adair of
Knoxville, Tenn, came here. He
was practically nervous wreck,
having been unable on account of
such to work for only three
weeks during the preceding IL
months. He left here in Febru-
airy, 1914, so much improved that
he has been able to work ever
since. He has written me that
his health has been so far improv-
ed that he will not come down
this winter. | have seen several
persons come here walking on
crutches or with canes on account
of rheumatism. In a few weeks
they threw them away, walking
like a two-year-old. Mr.. Thur
man came here from the northern
portion of Georgia about Deem
Der, 1912, or January, 1913. He
remainded here about two months
or may be a little over. When
he first came he could not walk a
100 feet without stopping and
resting After he had been here
a month he would walk about
half a mile without stopping. At
first he carried a camp stool on
which to sit. He threw away his
camp stool. He left here much
improved. He has asthma, and
one of the worst cases | ever saw.
| never saw a man as weak as he
was and be living. / live at
Mayesville, Mo. | spend five
months of the winter season here.

wish to say that two seasons ago
came to Punta Gorda, in bad
shape with stomach trouble. ]
found the sulphur water did me
much good. | drank often and
plenty of it. 1t acted as mild
and relieved me of that
fullness of stomach,
which | had been having. ] left
Punta Gorda feeling 100 pcr cent.
better than when | came. am
here again this season, especially
on account of the sulphur water
from the fountain of the village |
! came from a sturdy race who |
bring to this country strong con-
situations. My native home was
Scotland. | left there when
eight years old and made .Ameri- |
ca my country and Chicago my
home. | now take pleasure in
recommending the Punta Gorda |
sulphur water to those having
anne and overworked stomachs.-
