I m Right MARVEKOUS HEALING SPRINGS OF PASO ROBLES THE ATTENTION OF THE WORLD ATTRACTED. California Has Astounded the Entire Medical World with Her (ireat Hot Springs. When Admiral Evans was taken from his fleet ami placed at l'aso Hoblcs lo be cared ot his aggravated case of rheuma tism, the whole world marvtlotl, but when after three weeks' sojourn he was placed once more in direct command of his fleet, the amazing magic of l'aso Koblcs was understood. These springs are now being spoken of and investigated by tbe leading medical men of every country. The early Indian used to carry his sick over plain ami desert to be healed at l'aso Koblcs ; then came Padre Juniperro Serra (17117) with his associates, the holy Franciscan brethren, and the cures of the springs w.caiuc as miracles when in written form they went home in reports to Spain. Then came the pioneers and th building up of California until with the prominence of Admiral Evans' visit the entire world has at last awakened to the realization of what these springs really accomplish. In cases of rheumatism, gout, kidney, tomach, organic and neurotic diseases these springs act with absolute and un failing success. Men and women, in every degree of rheumatism, come to l'aso Kobles, anil from all walks of life. Here one can see the rich, the poor, the bank president and the laWer making the same pilgrimage after health, and l'aso Rubles does not disappoint them. Men so bent aud doubled up with rheumatism that the slightest movement makes them scream with pain, leave l'aso Koblcs after short treatment in a state of health one could scarcely Under stand. The bath house is the finest in the world. If ono suffers from ill health, no matter vthar condition it may be, l'aso Kobles should lie visited at once. The I condition of your purse should not make you heBitate. The rich man ran secure j all the luxuries he desires anil the poor man may live well on a small amount. A small book, neatly illustratek, has '. been recently published by the nianagc Iment telling of the story of the H it Springs in a most interesting manner and giving complete Information.
