HOT SPRINGS
The city gets its name from the hundred springs near there which give out large quantities of water at a temperature of 98 degrees F. or warmer. The water from these and from certain cold springs have been found to contain unusual mineral elements very valuable in the treatment of rheumatism of all kinds, nervous complaints, indigestion and intestinal disorders, pulmonary affections, diseases of the urinary organs, gout and skin diseases. Particularly noticeable have been the curing of parties affected with rheumatism.
Besides the small swimming pools at the various sanitariums, two immense pools have been constructed which are centers of attraction during the summer months. These are the “Evans” and the “Mammoth Springs Plunge,” both of which are enclosed in large buildings, and contain individual dressing rooms and all other possible conveniences.
One of the largest and finest equipped hotels in the state is located here.
