6 THE HOT SPRINGS 
 
 The temperature of the Hot Springs ranges from 
 ninety to one hundred and fifty degrees of Fahrenheit's 
 thermometer. 
 
 The analysis of*the waters of these Springs reveals 
 a slight difference in some of the larger ones ; showing 
 a trace more of one property than of others, and from 
 this preponderating ingredient several of the largest 
 springs derive names, thus: the "Arsenic" Spring, in 
 which that mineral is more distinctly traced than in 
 the other springs. The "Alum" Spring, containing a 
 predominance of alum. The "Magnesia" Spring, so 
 called from the quantity of magnesia contained in the 
 water, and some others of less importance. 
 
 The waters of the Hot Springs, as analyzed by various 
 scientists, are found to contain lime, silicates, magnesia, 
 soda, iron, potash and alum, and traces of some other 
 properties. 
 
 The chief benefits are said to be derived from the 
 magnetic properties of the waters, from the peculiar 
 combination of minerals held in solution, and from the 
 various gases which the waters contain, and which are 
 evolved by exposure to the air, arising in a dense steam 
 from the springs in damp weather, almost obscuring 
 from view that portion of the mountain from which the 
 springs issue forth. To retain these gases it is, therefore, 
 necessary to seal the springs and carry the water in 
 closed pipes to the point at which it is desired ta use it 
 for bathing. This plan has been adopted by some of 
 the bathing establishments in the valley, which are lo- 
 cated at a distance from the Springs, of which I will 
 speak hereafter. 
 
 There are no Springs of cold water on the same side 
 of the Hot Spring Mountain as that from which the

O THE HOT SPRINGS 
 
 In excavating in this rock for the erection of bath 
 houses, and for other purposes, new springs have been 
 discovered from time to time, until the number has in- 
 creased from the original forty-two, first discovered, to 
 fifty six; and the opening of these new channels does 
 not affect, or lessen the volume of, any of the other 
 Springs, which leads to the belief in the existence of 
 an immense and inexhaustable subteranean lake, or pool 
 of water, heated by fires at a great distance below the 
 surface of the earth, and that the water is forced up- 
 wards by the expansion of the gases produced by the 
 intense heat, and the chemical action of the substances 
 held in solution by the heated water. 
 
 Popular opinion ascribes the heating of the water of 
 these Hot Springs to the smouldering fires of a once 
 active volcano, and the appearance of the surrounding 
 country would certainly seem to warrant such a belief, 
 but scientific men who have thoroughly studied the for- 
 mations around the Hot Spring Mountain, deny this, 
 and assert that the heat is produced by chemical com- 
 binations of insufficient strength to produce a volcanic 
 eruption, and, consequently, there is no immediate dan- 
 ger of this modern Bethesda being swallowed up by 
 rivers of molten lava, or obliterated by the shocks of 
 earthquakes.

 rou&ding the town, and upon a portion of which the 
 town is located, it being in litigation between the 
 United States, claiming it as a reservation, and a num- 
 ber of private parties, who claim portions of the land 
 under various grants and claims; but there is good 
 prospect of a speedy settlement of the matter, as it has 
 been argued before the Court of Claims of the United 
 States, and a decision will soon be reached. Notwith- 
 standing the serious drawbacks to improvement, num- 
 bers of new buildings are continually going up, and it 
 is safe to predict that, within the next five years, there 
 will be a resident population of ten thousand people. 
 There is a street railway in operation through the entire 
 length of the valley with cars passing any point every 
 five minutes. At the north end of the street railway 
 track a beautiful park has been enclosed and laid off, a 
 large pavilion, with a stage for theatrical performances 
 and an excellent floor for dancing, has been built within 
 the grounds, and a number of very pretty summer 
 houses with rustic benches and tables, have been erected 
 for those who wish to retire from the throng and en- 
 joy the cool refreshing air during the summer evenings. 
 The Park has already become a very popular resort. 
 
 The visitors who come here are, mainly, from the 
 first circles of society and are from all parts of the 
 United States and Canada, and many from Mexico, Cuba 
 and Europe, so thai those wishing to come here need not 
 fear being brought in contact with improper charac- 
 nr-. There are as few disturbances of the peace in 
 Hot Springs as in any town of its size in the country, 
 and law and order arc strictly enforced by efficient 
 officers.

 HOT SPRINGS AS A RESORT. 
 
 As a resort for invalids this place is unequalled any- 
 where in the world. The waters cure a greater number 
 of diseases than any other thermal waters known, and 
 are beneficial in many cases of chronic complaints 
 which have failed to yield to treatment at the most 
 noted Springs in Europe. Invalids come here from all 
 parts of the country, who, when they arrive, have to be 
 carried about, but after bathing a short time they are 
 able to walk about, and many throw away their crutch- 
 es and canes altogether in a few weeks, and, after a so- 
 journ of two or three months at the Springs, return to 
 their homes rejoicing in better health than they had en- 
 jo} r ed for many years before ; the most of them entirely 
 restored, and their health as good as before they became 
 afflicted. Many really wonderful cures have been per- 
 formed by the use of the waters of these Hot Springs, 
 some of which have come under my personal observa- 
 tion during my residence here ; of these I will cite a 
 few instances. 
 
 In 1874, a young man came to the Springs from Buf- 
 falo, New York, so badly crippled with rheumatism 
 that he had to be carried from the stage coach into the 
 hotel. He called in one of the resident physicians and 
 under his directions commenced bathing and drinking 
 the water, and in less than six weeks was able to join in 
 ;t game of base ball. In July he returned to his home 
 in the full enjoyment of renewed health and vigor. 
 
 In July of the same year, an old gentleman, upwards 
 of sixty years of age, was brought here from Montgom-

 them a trial, though with but little hope of obtaining 
 any permanent relief. On his arrival here he placed 
 himself under the care of a physician and at once com- 
 menced the use of the hot water, both for drinking and 
 bathing. He took no medicine whatever, and in six 
 weeks returned home perfectly restored to health, and 
 blessing the day when he heard of the wonderful Hot 
 Springs of Arkansas. 
 
 During the past winter, a gentleman from New York 
 City was induced to come here and try the effect of the 
 waters on a humorous ulcer, which made its appearance 
 on his heel, and from which he had been suffering for 
 several years, sometimes being confined to his bed for 
 weeks. Placing himself under the care of a physician 
 whose instructions he carefully followed, both in re- 
 gard to diet and bathing, he soon began to notice an im- 
 provement, and in two months was entirely cured, and 
 for the first time in three years was able to wear a boot 
 on the afflicted foot. When he first came to the Springs 
 he was very skeptical as to the curative properties of the 
 waters, affirming that, although he had been induced to 
 come and give them a trial, he did so without any ex- 
 pectation of finding relief, but long before he left he be- 
 came convinced of his error and frequently remarked 
 that he thought the half had not been told of the valu- 
 able qualities of these, now world-renowned, waters, 
 and declared his intention of paying the Springs an 
 annual visit for the purpose of recuperating his health 
 from the effects of close confinement to business. 
 
 I could go on enumerating even the most extraor- 
 dinary cures alone, until I would fill a large volume 
 with the recital; but as this is intended to be a pocket 
 manual I will stop with the few already mentioned, and 
 refer you to any of the resident physicians for addition- 
 al particulars.

 physicians in the valley, whose long and extended ex- 
 perience in the use of these waters, and success in their 
 applicat ion, entitle his views to credence as standard 
 authority.

 each closet. At the rear of each closet is a vapor room 
 or box. for the use of those who are ordered to take the 
 vapor. On arriving at the bath house the bather is taken 
 charge of by an attendent, who, taking his bathing card, 
 assigns him to one of the bathing closets and prepares a 
 bath of the prescribed temperature. When the bath is 
 ready the bather is assisted into the tub, and a minute 
 glass placed on a small convenient shelf, by which he is 
 to regulate the length of time he remains in the bath. 
 At the expiration of the time prescribed the attendant 
 is called, who takes the patient from the tub, and 
 places him in the u pack," which consists in wrapping 
 him up in his blanket and placing him in the bath tub, 
 from which the water has been removed. While in the 
 pack the patient is required to drink as much of the hot 
 water as possible. He is then taken from the pack, rubbed 
 dry by the attendant, dressed and sent to his room un- 
 til his blood becomes cooled to prevent his contracting 
 cold. If the vapor is ordered, the patient is placed in 
 the vapor box immediately on coming out of the bath, 
 and remains there from two to five minutes, after which 
 he is placed in the pack. Many persons who come 
 here use neither the vapor nor the pack, and the watc 
 is differently applied by different physicians in the 
 treatment of the same class of diseases.

90 THE HOT SPRINGS 
 
 RECTOR BATH HOUSE. 
 
 This is the largest bathing establishment in the 
 valley; is within a few rods of the Arlington Hotel, 
 and near the Springs. It is owned by H. M. Rector, 
 one of the claimants of the Hot Springs property. 
 The water is conveyed in open troughs from springs 
 at a short distance from the bath house. 
 
 Price of baths, the same as at the Grand Central 
 Bath House. 
 
 WEIR & GEORGE'S BATH HOUSE 
 
 is very neatly fitted up and is centrally located. The 
 accommodations are excellent and the price of baths 
 low. Single bath twenty-five cents or five dollars for 
 a course of twenty-one baths. 
 
 THE UPPER HALE BATH HOUSE 
 
 is immediately above the Hale House, and is now be- 
 ing repaired and refitted. 
 
 THE LOWER HALE BATH HOUSE 
 
 is a perfectly new building, just opened, and furnished 
 new throughout; and, although small, is one of the 
 best appointed bath houses in the valley. It is carpeted 
 throughout; is supplied with box vapors, and the 
 water is used directly from the Springs. 
 
 Price of baths the same as at the Grand Central and 
 Rector Bath Houses. The Hale bath houses are owned 
 by John C. Hale, another of the Hot Springs claim- 
 ants. 
 
 Poor persons, unable to pay for bathing, have here-

 ACCOMMODATIONS. 
 
 Having enumerated the bath houses, and explained 
 the mode of bathing, I will now mention, some of the 
 principal Hotels, and Boarding Houses; commencing 
 with the 
 
 ARLINGTON HOTEL, 
 
 as that is the largest house in the valley, and one of 
 the largest hotels in the South. It is just finished, and 
 opened, and is located in the central part of the valley. 
 The proprietors, Messrs. S. H. Stitt & Co., are affable 
 gentlemen, of long experience in the hotel business, 
 and keep an excellent house. 
 
 THE GRAND CENTRAL HOTEL 
 
 is a few rods above the Arlington, on the opposite side 
 of the stream. It is smaller than its more pretentious 
 neighbor, but has a wide and merited reputation as a 
 first-class hotel. 
 
 The house is two hundred and fifty-six feet in length, 
 and has galleries above and below, extending the en- 
 tire length of the building. The proprietors, Messrs. 
 E. Q. Gibbon & Co., are courteous gentlemen, and do 
 all in their power to promote the pleasure and com- 
 fort of their guests. The Grand Central Bath House 
 belongs to the proprietors of this hotel, and the only 
 telegraph office in the valley is located in the office of 
 the hotel.

26 THE HOT SPRINGS 
 
 NEIGHBORING SPRINGS I 
 
 AND PUCES OF INTEREST. 
 
 THE SULPHUR SPRINGS, 
 
 eight miles southeast of the Hot Springs, are much 
 resorted to by persons afflicted with Dyspepsia, Gout, 
 Rheumatism, Affections of the Kidneys and Urinary 
 Organs, Dropsy, Skin Diseases and, especially, Calcu- 
 lus Affections, and with very satisfactory results. 
 Some female complaints are also much benefited by 
 the waters of these Springs. 
 
 There is an excellent and commodious hotel at these 
 Springs, the proprietor of which, Mr. P. J. Maher, is 
 reputed to be a most attentive and provident host. 
 The table is supplied with the best the market affords, 
 excellently cooked and served. 
 
 THE MOUNTAIN VALLEY SPRINGS 
 
 are twelve miles north of Hot Springs, surrounded by 
 beautiful scenery. The waters are very beneficial in 
 many diseases, among which are the following: 
 Chronic Chills and Fever, Dyspepsia, Gravel, Gleet, 
 Stricture, Dropsy, Diabetis, Bright's Disease of the 
 Kidneys, General Debility and many Female Com- 
 plaints. 
 
 The waters contain Iron, Lime, Magnesia, Soda, 
 Silicate, Chlorine, and some other properties. 
 
 The proprietor, Mr. J. G. Moody, keeps an excellent 
 hotel at the springs for the accommodation of visitors, 
 and many visit these Springs every year.
