IiniXO SULPHUR HOT
SPRINGS TO ALLIANCK
C. E. Roberts and J. R. Calder
now located at the Alliance Hotel
are giving sulphur steam baths.
They have been In Alliance but a
week and have already got all they
can do, having signed up' a number
of Alliance people for a course of
baths and massages. Tho sulphur
bath cabinet which they use is the In
vention of Dr. Wright of Denver. By
means of this cabinet It is possible
to in reality bring the hot springs to
Alliance. This system of baths is
superior to the old style Turkish
bath' and is replacing that form in
many cities. As is true with the
Turkish bath, the bath relieves tabt
tired feeling and has been found to
be of great benefit to those ailing
wtth rheumatism in its many forms.
