Everybody knows the famous Baedeker Guide Books and their exact and unbiased accuracy. You also know that Baedeker stars a hotel or a piece of beautiful scenery only when it is really worth it. Here is what "Baedeker's United States" says about the region around Hot Springs, N. C, and about the Mountain Park Hotel and please note that Baedeker stars the Mountain Park Hotel : "Western North Carolina, 'Land of the Sky,' may be described as a plateau with an average alti tude of 2,000 feet, 250" miles long and 25 miles wide, bounded by the Great Smoky mountains on the west and by the Blue Ridge on the east. It is crossed by several spurs of the main chain, including the Black," Balsam, the Pisgah, the Co wee and the Nantahala ranges. Many of these are higher than the main chains, the Black mountains alone contain ing nineteen peaks over 6,000 feet in height. The district is watered by numerous rivers that rise in the Blue Ridge and flow with a steep decline and rapid current across this plateau, cutting through the Great Smokies on their way to the Mississippi. The French Broad, the Pigeon, the Tuckaseegee and the Little Tennessee are the chief of these. In this way the country is cross-sectioned into many smaller valleys, affording endless variety of scenery. The fact that even the highest mountains are deeply wooded to their .tops adds much to the picturesque ness and softens the outlines of the landscapes. "HOT SPRINGS (1,325 feet; MOUNTAIN PARK HOTEL), situated in a beautiful little valley one mile in diameter, surrounded by mountains 3,000 to 4,000 feet high, has long been frequented for its hot springs and delightful climate (winter milder than Asheville). Tlie springs (temperature 84-104) are efficacious in rheumatism, gout, sciatica and nervous prostration. - Pleasant walks may be taken among the hills, but the drives are limited to , those up and down) the river. Round Top (1,750 feet), to the north, acrossthe river, is easily ascended in one-half hour, and commands a good view," Hot Mineral Waters These springs are sittiated in the grounds of , the hotel not fifty yards .Mm. .the .north wing:. The ., iefficafcjf -opmrtirlmd, ' medicated ( in Nature's own subterranean laboratories, is nothing short of marvelous, curing, often, where all else has failed. Science has not been able to explain or duplicate it; and while many theories exist regard ing the source of its heat and curative properties, it is Nature's own work and secret, the solution. of which is of little moment to the afflicted so long as it is effectual in its cure and relief. These waters have been found to be practically a specific in the cure of rheumatism, gout, rheumatic gout, sciatica, joint diseases, and all troubles arising from uric acid diathesis; they are especially effica cious in the treatment of neurasthenia, nervousness, insomnia, the various forms of dyspepsia and in testinal indigestion; and are of great benefit, bring ing almost invariable relief to different catarrhal af fections, whether of head, stomach, bowels or other parts of the system.

' ' .("- "F. B. SPEAR", j Testimonial received . from James Howard Morris of New York: New York, March 2, 191. To the Mountain Park Hotel: ( . It is difficult for me to cxprea my absolute faith in the curative properties of the waters at Hot Springs, and to describe the very great benefits I have derived from them. ( When I fell you that upon the occasion of my first visit I waa carried from the train, crippled with rheumatism, which had shown no improvement from months of treatment, and that Inside of three weeks I was riding horseback over the mountains, yon may perhaps understand why I regard the baths as a panacea for this trpuble. My repeated visits have not been occasioned by need of further treatment, for I look upon a course of the waters as a cure, not a temporary relief. I spend as muoh time as possible In the mountains, because of the indescribable charm of that particular locality, be cause for a thorough rest and change I know of no place which can compare with Hot Springs. I shall be more than glad to see, personally, any one you may care to refer to me, and in doing so, 1 am actuated, not only by a sense of gratitude for my own cure, but by a desire to be of service to others who should know of the great benefits to be gained by the treatment at Hot Springs. I am, very faithfully yours, JAMES HOWARD MOSS. March 20th, 117. Mr. A. 8. Thweatt, No. 24 Fifth Avenue, New Tork City, N. Y.
