Palmyra Springs Sanitarium Is especially designed for the care and treatment of sick people, and for the building up of those just recovering from severe illness or surgical oper- ations* It also offers to those seeking rest and recreation an ideal, home- like retreat, combining the comforts of a well-organized and fully-equipped establishment, with freedom from the restraints and obligations of fashion- able resorts. The Sanitarium will receive for care and treatment all classes of cases ex- cepting insanity, epilepsy, alcoholism and contagious diseases. The treatment in each case will be rational and scientific, and according to the latest advancement in medicine. In addition to the ordinary facilities common to first-class city institutions for the treatment of disease, the Sanitarium is especially well prepared for the treatment of those conditions requiring quiet, rest, pure air and pure food. It is so situated as to furnish all these in abundance. the Sanitarium is open all the year. PARLOR. Qocation « « « * The location of the Sanitarium is ideal. Situated on the margin of IftitKftll Springs CdKC, it commands a charming view of that beautiful body of water as well as of many miles of the most entrancing landscape in Wisconsin. the Sanitarium Grope, a forest of native oaks comprising forty acres of land, encircles the western end of the lake. This grove affords all that can be desired for one seeking either shady walks, quiet nooks for rest or sandy beaches for bathing. Within a short distance, on the north shore of the lake, is Ttlincral Springs Park, which contains a remarkable group of springs, six of which are especially worthy of notice and are described on pages 9, \ \ and 13. A mile from the Sanitarium, in plain view of the piazza, is the famous “Kettle Range,” a reminiscence of the early glacial age. This range is dotted with numerous little lakes and gushing springs. The hills are romantic roving grounds, abounding in squirrel and rabbit. Palmyra is a pretty town of about a thousand inhabitants, forty miles west of Mil- waukee, on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad. It is 850 feet above the sea; the soil is dry, sandy and porous, and the air is clear and invigorating. In every direction are 5 delightful drives to the numerous lakes and other interesting points, which make this part of Wisconsin so attractive. Silver, Green, Eagle, Delaven, Geneva, Oconomowoc and Nashotah lakes are within easy driving distance of Palmyra. Good livery can be had at reasonable prices. mineral Springs Cake, a small but beautiful body of water, lies but a few feet away from the Sanitarium. It is well stocked with rock and black bass, pickerel, and other gamey fish. It is not deep, is always smooth and safe, and affords excellent boating and bathing. SIDE VIEW OF BUILDING. £1k Springs « « « « The most interesting: and one of the most valuable features of the Sanitarium is its springs. They are many in number, and are all owned and controlled by the Sanitarium Company. Tn mineral Springs Park there is a cluster of six springy within a space of less than forty feet square. Each spring: differs from the others in character, chemical combination and temperature, there being: a difference of twenty degrees F. between the coldest and warmest. Within a few hundred feet is another group of springs, some of pure water and some very strong in iron. ClK Great Geyser Spring at the base of the “Kettle Range,” one and one-half miles from the Sanitarium, is truly a wonder. It is circular in form, over fifty feet in diameter, and twenty feet deep. The flow from this spring has been estimated at ten million gallons daily. At times this spring swarms with trout, bass and pickerel. It is so perfectly clear that the boiling sand at the bottom can be seen with absolute distinctness through the deep blue color of the water. 9 Within a short distance of the "Great Geyser” are scores of smaller springs, each one of them an interesting and fascinating study* In his analysis of the waters from a number of these springs, Erasmus G. Smith, Ph. D., Professor of Chemistry at Beloit College, says: "This (referring to the group in Mineral Springs Park) is an interesting and remark- able group of springs. llOS. 1 dtld 2 are waters of great brilliancy and clearness, and even on standing do not seem to lose their bright and transparent character or give any deposit. They are quite free from organic matters and are a fine, palatable, heathful drinking water. "Spring no. 3 is marked in its larger amounts of sulphates and of magnesia; HO. 4 by the amounts of sulphates, magnesia and iron; HO. 5 by the excessive amount of iron, and HO. 6 by the large amount of iron, also by the presence of bicarbonate of soda, rendering the water feebly alkaline. This last spring, No. 6, might fairly be classed among the alkaline chaly- beate springs. Particular attention was paid to determining the sanitary quality of the water from the bluff near the Sanitarium, the l)0U$0 Spring, which is used daily on the table for drinking purposes, repeated tests proving that it is a water of marked freedom from organic or deleterious matters, and one admirably adapted to general drinking purposes.” 11 BIRD’S EYE VIEW OF THE GREAT GEYSER SPRING. Of the Great Geyser Spring, sometimes called the "Mammoth Aurelian,” Professor Smith says: " This spring is about twenty feet in depth, and upwards of fifty feet in diameter, the waters pushing up through a fine quicksand at the bottom* The waters are exceptionally clear and brilliant, contain no sediment, and even after standing for some weeks deposit none. I regard this as the most remarkable spring I have ever examined, both in the unusual flow and beauty of the spring itself, and the admirable quality of the waters. Clear, brilliant and sparkling, free from organic matters, with mineral salts in medium amount and in favor- able combinations, this water is unquestionably a most desirable one, and one to be highly recommended.
