The second bath I took brought S ft! rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in ' parts of my body. At the enTof TtotSght f^m to free from all pains with the exception of the ankles ' (which was always the worst part affected), and vritb Ift the exception of my feet being very tender from so much hot bathing lam quite a new man; I have not the slightest pain of Rheumatism about me, not even in the ankles. To parties visiting the Spring I - should advise them not to feel akrmed oVaLi - pointed if they find themselves worse the first d»■ £ %ZL"r% me .to the generai opinion" -howtS • action of the waters.
