 H, the magic in that name! To the tired and weary merchant, the convalescing invalid, 
 the worn-out mother, or the pent-up city child whose ebullient spirits are bursting from 
 lack of out-door recreation, the famous Baktlktt Springs is a shibboleth for all that is 
 grand in natural beauties and health-giving qualities. With an elevation of 2850 feet, 
 where the pure ozone is untainted by malaria, dust, or smoke; where the giant pines, 
 balsam-laden, perfume the air and make it so beneficial and inspiring to one's lungs; M'here 
 the warm rays of the sun, tempered by the mountain snow, cause the blood to fairly tingle in one's veins; 
 amid scenic splendors unrivaled on the Pacific Coast, lies California's most famous sanitarium— 15 a ktlktt 
 Springs. 
 
 The climate and surroundings at Bartlett are not surpassed at any resort in America. The Spring.s 
 are located in a canyon with high mountains on the north and south, the mean temperature being about 
 80 degrees in summer and winter. The property embraces eighteen hundred acres, and the scenery is 
 picturesque and romantic, the hotel being surrounded by oaks and pines, making walking and driving 
 particularly enjoyable. From May well on into November from 300 to 800 visitors are invariably on the 
 grounds, but the hotel is kept open all I he year round for the accommodation of those guests who prefer 
 to make their winter home in this invigorating atmosphere, and a more congenial scene is rarely witnessed 
 than the gatherings around the stoves and open fire-places during the long winter evenings, recounting 
 their hunting and other experiences. 
 
 The air at Bartlktt in the winter, with a perceptible sting of frost in it, acts as a bracing tonic. 
 It is dry and clear, giving a buoyancy to the spirits and an elasticity to the step seldom enjoyed in the 
 damp coast climate, and makes Bartlett fully as ideal a winter as a summer resort. 
 
EVKNING PICTURE BARTLETT SPRINGS. 
 
DISCOVERY OF BARTLETT SPRINGS 
 
 ^^HILDREN love fairytales — yes, and grown children, too. But this is no fairy tale; it is a really 
 true story. A long time ago, over a quarter of a century, a man young in years, but old in 
 ^^ infirmity, whose life had been wrecked and shattered by that horribly painful and relentless 
 disease, inflammatory rheumatism, was traveling by slow and weary stages through the high 
 latitudes of Lake County, in the hope that the balsamic influences of the great pine forests 
 might afford him at least a temporary relief from his sufferings. 
 
 He had reached an altitude of some 2300 feet, and although in the midst of Nature's loveliness, on 
 a bright and balmy summer's day, he felt his waning strength gradually failing him, and sinking down 
 exhausted in a sheltered nook in the mountain canyon, he prayed for sufficient strength to reach a settle- 
 ment of his own people that he might rest his poor, tired and distorted body and die in peace. After 
 gazing awhile upon the beauties surrounding him — the blue vault of heaven without a speck of cloud; the 
 majestic pines whose branches were gently swayed by the sighing zephyrs; the perfume of the madrone 
 and wild flowers; the singing of the birds — we can readily imagine how his spirit, weak and broken as it 
 was, rebelled at the thought of being compelled to leave such inspiringly beautiful life when just in the 
 prime of his manhood, at an age when other men are so strong and eager for the strife; but be had made a 
 brave fight against a deadly foe, and exhausted Nature could do no more; he must submit to the inevitable. 
 But look I See the sparkling spring yonder; the poor dying creature could moisten his parched lips 
 at this heaven-sent fountain, and dragging his weary body towards it by slow degrees, his every movement 
 racking his frame with excruciating pain, he drank, and lived. Such is the absolutely true story of the 
 discovery of the Springs by the man whose life they saved, and whose name they bear. Is it any wonder 
 that Baktlktt Springs has gained such a world-wide celebrity for its curative properties? Since that day 
 thousands of cases have been recorded of remarkable cures by the use of these waters, and no one has 
 visited them without at least some relief. 
 
ACCOMMODATIONS 
 
 PLENTY MOKE LIKE THIS 
 
 The hotel is a modern structure, charmingly located, 
 and possesses ample accommodations for the comfort and 
 convenience of nearly 400 guests. The main building 
 stands near the famous Bartlett Spring from which the 
 resort takes its name. A fifteen-foot veranda extends 
 from two .stories, and surrounding the building on three 
 sides affords grateful shelter from the sun's warm rays 
 to those desiring an unbroken view of Nature's beauty 
 from a point of vantage in the open air. Although the 
 hotel is generous in accommodations, it is at times in the 
 outing season insufficient to house the multitude of 
 visitors who seek, in this famed spot, rest and recreation. 
 So great has been the 5rearly visitation of health and 
 pleasure seekers that it has been found necessarj- to 
 supplement the main building with twenty cottages and 
 three large rooming houses, all of which are the property 
 of the Bartlett Springs Company. These supplementary 
 buildings stand in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, 
 and the management has spared no effort to make them 
 models of comfort and convenience. 
 
 Rates in hotel and hotel cottages, American plan, are 
 iflO.OO to llo.OO a week from May 1st to November 1st. 
 Rates are reduced during the winter months, November 
 1st to May 1st.

HOUSEKEEPING COTTAGES 
 
 BARTLETT SPRING.S is something more than a stopping place for a few days or a few weeks. 
 So popular is the resort that some families make it their summer home for several months each 
 season. For the convenience of families thus situated, and desiring at once seclusion and 
 economy, about a hundred neat and comfortable cottages are scattered about in picturesque 
 and sequestered spots, such as the true lover of Nature would sureU' select as the location 
 for an ideal summer home. These cottages are specially fitted up for housekeeping. They are supplied 
 with bedsteads, chairs, tables, stoves and cooking utensils; no bedding or dishes. Bedding and dishes 
 can be rented from the hotel as follows : 
 
 Wire mattresses 25 cents per week. Blankets 15 cents per week, each. 
 
 Top " 25 " " " Comforts 15 " " " " 
 
 Box " 50 " " " Pillows 15 " " " 
 
 Dishes and table ware from 25 cents per week and up.

 Winter housekeeping cottage rates are one-half summer rates, November 1st to May 1st. All cottage 
 tenants are entitled to the same privileges as guests of the hotel. There are generai. merchandi.sk 
 STORE, bakerv, butcher SHOP, DRUG STORE and ICE PLANT for convenience of guests. Campers as 
 well as cottagers and hotel guests, may avail themselves of these conveniences, and charges for supplies of 
 all kinds will be found very reasonable and satisfactory. Camping privileges, $1.00 per week. 
 
 REFRIGERATING PLANT. 
 
 The butcher shop is equipped with a complete refrigerating plnnt. The duty of this plant is to 
 refrigerate one room for cold storage of meats and other perishables ; also, will make upwards of one ton of 
 ice per day if required. This insures the best of beef, mutton, chickens, game, etc. 
 
 Ice for sale at the butcher shop.

MANAGEMENT 
 
 i^HE management of the hotel property is vested in J. E. McMahan. To former visitors at 
 the Springs Mr. Mc^NIahan needs no introduction. He adds to experienced supervision 
 of affairs about the resort a constant personal effort to please, in which he is warmlj' 
 _ seconded by a corps of competent assistants. The policy of the Bartlett Springs manage- 
 ment is to seek the comfort and convenience of every guest, and the public will find in 
 the history of past seasons an ample guarantee for the efficiency of the management in 
 the future. 
 
 The dining hall is commodious, well lighted and ventilated, and is under the direction 
 of an experienced head man, with a corps of attentive waitresses. The table is well supplied 
 with the best of everything in season. The cuisine is presided over by the best chef obtainable, and the 
 universal verdict is that Bartlett vSprings "set an excellent table." A first-class refrigerating plant. 
 Guests will find much that is attractive in the grounds immediately about the hotel. 
 The Bartlett Springs Company has in its service a competent physician who makes his residence at 
 the Springs. The resident physician is instructed to inform the guests, when in his opinion they will not 
 be benefited by a sojourn at the Springs. 
 
 MAIL, TELEGRAPH, TELEPHONE AND EXPRESS 
 There are two mail services daily during the summer season, INIay to November. IHiring the balance 
 of the year there is a tri-weekly service. 
 
 Wells, Fargo Express via Williams. 
 
 The telegraph and telephone service is very complete.

POINTS OF TRAVEL 
 
 THE two routes of travel leading to Bartlett Springs appear plainly from the time tables on eleventh 
 page, and in choosing between routes the traveler need be governed only by considerations of 
 individual preference. The trip by either route will be found full of charm and interest. The 
 traveling time is practically the same both ways, although the division of travel as between the 
 two modes of conveyance is somewhat different. 
 The route to Bartlett by the line of the California Northwestern Railway, carries the visitor through 
 Marin County and a rich fruit and agricultural section of vSonoma County. A four hours' ride lands the 
 traveler at Hopland, from which point a stage is taken for Lakeport, on the shores of Clear Lake. This 
 body of water is set in a valley between the mountains, and on account of its size and many features of 
 natural beauty, is justly famous as one of the wonders of the State. The trip across the lake is made in the 
 commodious steamer "City of Lakeport," which was entirely rebuilt for the season of 1899. From the 
 steamer one has a beautiful view of the lake and of the surrounding mountains. The steamer drops the 
 traveler at Bartlett Landing. Then follows a stirring stage ride over one of the prettiest mountain roads in 
 the State, a ride which continues until stage and horses wheel up at Bartlett Springs and drop the traveler 
 at the hotel door in ample time for dinner. 
 
 The Southern Pacific route likewise opens up to the traveler many features of interest and attraction. 
 The line of travel from San Francisco is through one of the prettiest and most prosperous sections of the 
 State. Starting with an early morning ride across the bay, the traveler proceeds by rail to Williams for 
 lunch. With the arrival at this point, railroad travel ceases. The final part of the journey is by stage, and 
 a ride of thirty -eight miles over a picturesque road finds Bartlett passengers safe and sound at their journey's 
 end, and as in the case of the other route, in ample time for dinner. From the foregoing it will be seen that 
 the only essential difference between the two routes of travel to Bartlett is the crossing of Clear Lake by 
 
 steamer. 
 
 A first trip leaves little room for choice as between one route or the other. The traveler by either 
 will find much to interest and amuse. A camera comes in good play, and will be found by the traveler a 
 most delightful method of i)reserving pleasant recollections of the trip. The illustrations in this pamphlet 
 offer some idea of the opportunities for picture taking along the lines of travel and about the famous spring.

CRYSTAL POOL — BARTLETT CREEK. 
 
POINTS OF INTEREST 
 
 HE famous Hartlett Spring is within one hundred j-ards of the hotel, and many thousands 
 of human beings owe their lives to the efficacy of these waters. No spring on the 
 American continent, if in the world, is so sincerely endorsed by learned and eminent 
 physicians as Bartlett. Almost the entire medical fraternity of this coast recommend 
 their patients to visit these springs for various diseases. 
 
 The SODA-MAGNESIA SPRING, also within a short distance of the hotel, 
 is quite a favorite for both internal and external use, and either hot or cold makes a 
 truly refreshing bath. Others deserving of mention are the APERIENT IRON, GAS 
 and SWEET SPRINGS, and it is no exaggeration to say that hundreds of mineral 
 springs, all showing a different anah-sis, are scattered over the vast property of the 
 Bartlett Springs Company. A phenomenon at Bartlett is the GAS TUNNEL, running 
 a distance of eighty feet into the mountain. This tunnel has for years emitted a steady 
 flow of carbonic acid gas. 
 
 At the summit of the mountain, half a mile from the hotel, is found the GAS SPRING, the rever- 
 beration from which may be heard nearly a quarter of a mile away. It is also called the CORN SPRING, 
 from the fact that if the foot on which is a corn is soaked in the water for about ten minutes the corn can 
 be picked out with a pin. .A.nd another point of interest near the hotel is the Cave, a curious formation of 
 nature which the visitor should not overlook. The cave is a great crack in the mountain, and gains in im- 
 pressiveness as one enters. It has been partially explored, but of its true extent no one has ever pretended 
 to tell. Beyond a certain point it is not safe to go. A rock hurled from here into space can be heard bound- 
 ing and rebounding for such a length of time as to indicate that this mountain aperture penetrates the earth 
 to a great depth. The echo effect produced by this experiment is very fine, and constitutes but one of the 
 many attractive and strange features of the cave tiip.

COTTAC.IC ROW. 
 
AMUSEMENT, SPORT AND RELAXATION 
 
 OTHING in the way of ainuseinenl and recreation for the special comfort aud delectation 
 of the guests and cottagers has been omitted by the Bartlett Springs management — croquet 
 grounds, tennis courts, bowling allej-, billiard room, and dancing pavilion. A ver}- superior 
 orchestra discourses sweet music during certain hours of the day, and dancing is indulged 
 in every week-day evening. A first-class instructor of dancing and physical culture is the 
 general manager of amusements. 
 
 Union vSunday School every vSuuday afternoon, and a sacred concert and song service in the evening, 
 enables guests to pass the Sabbath devoutly and profitably, and adds to the pleasure of church people dur- 
 ing their summer vacation. 
 
 A spot dear to the heart is the immense open fire-place in the main Reading Room, off the office of 
 the hotel. It is very comfortable to sit here during the cool evenings when the mountain air has a per- 
 ceptible tinge of frost in it, and listen to pleasant recollections interestingly told by the guests in front of 
 that great wide ing}eno9k with jts background of blazing and crackling pine logs. This apartment is con- 
 ducted in a very recherche manner, and ladies are as much at home in it as gentlemen. Many are the 
 bright and restful hours spent here and happy the memories carried away of this cozy nook and cozier fire- 
 place in the Reading Room at Bartlett. 
 
 The management has purchased a large number of l)urros for the amusement of the cliildren, and 
 guests desiring to climb the mountains, or to travel a distance in search of game or fish, will find these 
 sure-footed beasts a great accjuisition. 
 
 The services of an old and reliable trapper and hunter, with his dogs, can be obtained at very reason- 
 able rates to take guests deer or bear hunting. The best of saddle animals for hunters are to be found in 
 our livery stable. 
 
 lo 
 
NATATORIUM 
 
 fT must be admitted that the first great attraction at Bartlett was the water; this, in fact, called it 
 into universal celebrity. The directions for its internal use are given on another page. We have 
 , . now under consideration its use for bathing purposes. There are Mineral, Tub, Vapor and 
 \ (5^ Roman Baths with competent massagists and attendants. A large and substantial structure has 
 ^^^—^ been erected with a swimming tank 20x80 feet, and a few minutes in this water at uniform tem- 
 perature of 75 degrees, infused as it is with life-giving salts, leaves the skin soft and smooth as a baby's, 
 and invigorates and imparts new life to all who avail themselves of this indulgence. Tub or Steam Baths 
 25 cents; or, five for $1.00. Massage or Roman Baths, each $1.00. 
 
 FOR SPORTSMEN— This region is well and favorably known to the angler. Bartlett Creek and 
 the North Fork of Cache Creek are both famous trout streams, and those who will travel a few miles farther 
 back in the mountains will be rewarded with full baskets of speckled beauties weighing from half a pound 
 to three and four pounds. The man with a gun can find much to attract his attention; quail of both the 
 valley and mountain varieties, are abundant. Doves and grouse are numerous in the pine forests on the 
 road to Clear Lake, and deer have become very plentiful since the new game law went into effect. 
 
 STABLE ACCOMMODATIONS— The livery stable contains some fine stock, specially trained fur 
 the service they are expected to perform. There are gentle saddle horses for the ladies, and reliable 
 animals can be obtained by hunters upon all occasions. A very fine assortment of buggies, mountain 
 wagons, carriages and four and six-in-hands. A feature at the Springs is the six-horse coach, which starts 
 out every evening during the season for a spin up the mountain or through the valley. It is usually gone 
 about two hours, and the trip of a mellow evening is really enchanting.

THE ONE GREAT SPRING 
 
 [E Bartlett Springs Resort is situated in a section of country justh^ famed for the variet}- 
 and number of its natural mineral springs. Scattered throughout the length and 
 breadth of Lake County are scores of springs, nearly all of which possess qualities 
 tending to the cure of some particular ailment. These springs are variously known as 
 vSoda, Magnesia, Gas, Iron and Sulphur Springs, and they are to be found in 
 abundance about Bartlett. Testimony as to their healing qualities may be obtained 
 from thousands of visitors who have learned to know by experience the virtues 
 of the waters. 
 
 To the invalid, however, the chief charm of this famous health resort is to be found in the one great 
 spring, generally known as the Bartlett. In this spring seems to have been embodied and united the healing 
 qualities of all the springs in this wonderful health section of the State. Upon the waters of "the one 
 spring " has been built the world-wide fame of Bartlett. They have worked many miraculous cures of the 
 worst and most painful ailments to which mankind is subject. The invalid, no matter what his complaint, 
 only needs take a course of the waters to find himself rejuvenated in mind and body. Disease gives way to 
 health, the entire man is changed, and, thanks to Nature's wonderful alchemy as represented in the waters, 
 the way is paved for a certain and permanent cure. 
 
 Testimonials as to the virtues and healing powers of the waters might be presented here without 
 number, but instead it is left to the reader to satisfy himself by inquiring as to the truth of what is here 
 written, and then if he will visit Bartlett and drink for himself of the waters of the wonderful spring, he 
 mav realize, as have hundreds before, that " the half was never told."

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT 
 
 BARTLETT CREEK— WINTER. 
 
 The management of Bartlett Springs take pleasure 
 in' announcing that they have again secured the services 
 of DR. CHARLES E. WINSLOW as resident physician. 
 
 Suggestions in regard to treatment by physicians 
 placing patients in his care, will be carried out, and if 
 desired, a report of the progress of their cases sent to 
 them from time to^time. 
 
 Letters addressed to the doctor, asking for informa- 
 tion in regard to the Springs, will receive his immediate 
 attention and his opinion given as to the effects of the 
 waters in individual cases. 
 
 EXPERIENCE has shown that the guests who 
 receive the greatest benefit at watering places, are those 
 who, under the direction of the resident physician, make 
 a scientific use of the waters. 
 
 In order to induce a physician of experience to re- 
 main permanently at the Springs, the Bartlett Springs 
 Company have made the following arrangement : 
 
 Guests paying a medical fee of $2.00 a month will be 
 entitled to medical services, except where extra attention 
 is required, night calls, surgical cases and private dis- 
 eases. 
 
 This fee must be paid at the hotel office, upon their 
 arrival , otherwise the resident physician will charge for 
 office advice and visits. 
 
 Guests entitled to medical services are requested to 
 call u])oii the physician for diagnosis or for advice as to 
 the use of the waters, as soon as possible after their 
 arrival.

BARTLETT SPRINGS MINERAL WATER 
 
 GENERAL OFFICE, 2 SUTTER ST., SAN FRANCISCO. Warehouse, Fourth and King Sts. 
 
 HERE are two classes of patients who will derive great benefit from the use of Bartlett Springs 
 Mineral Water. The first are those in whom there exists no organic change of structure, but 
 whose functions are merely weakened or clogged by the strain of business or the exhaustions 
 of pleasures or sensual excesses in eating and drinking, or by errors in the preparation of 
 food and the disregard of hygienic rules in habits of living. The second consists of that 
 too numerous class who, besides being injured by the same causes, are affected by specific forms of disease, 
 such as Rheumatism, Gout, vSciatica, Calculous Disorders, Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Cutaneous Eruptions 
 Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Constipation, Chronic Alcoholism, Malaria, Venereal 
 Diseases and Uterine Disorders. Bartlett Springs Water depurates the system by the kidneys, bowels and 
 skin, and by a gentle and sustained action gradually restores the organs to their normal activity, and by 
 removing the cause of the disease, naturally effects a cure. 
 
 HOW THE WATER IS PUT UP 
 
 The water is now bottled at the Springs, and is taken from below the surface of the ground without 
 
 exposure to the air, the bottles being filled through a tube extending to the bottom of the bottle, so that 
 
 the only loss of natural gas takes place between the time the water is turned on and that occupied in 
 
 covering the bottom of the tube, causing only a loss of about five per cent ; the ninety-five per cent 
 
 remaining in the water, and being immediately sealed, there is no possible chance of escape. As Bartlett 
 
 Water does not contain organic matter or ir.on compounds, and is put up with its own natural gas, it will 
 
 keep for years with the same beneficial results as when used at the spring. Unlike any other spring in the 
 
 United States, this water holds every particle of its minerals in solution, and although the overflow from 
 
 the spring has run in the same channel for ages, not a particle of sediment can be found, or any rock 
 
 formation on the banks.

 GENERAL DIRECTIONS 
 
 MMEDIATELV after arising in the morning, take a glass or two of the water (warm if possible). 
 Do not breakfast until the lapse of half an hour. During the day drink from one to one and a 
 lj[*^/jr>^ half gallons of the Bartlett Water, and in many cases, more may be taken with beneficial results. 
 CL^-^ The persistent use of the Bartlett Water will invariably make one feel the pang of their disease 
 from seven to ten days. This is a good sign, and the water should be drank freely until the increased pain 
 passes away, after which marked improvement will be realized and a cure effected. If the stomach will 
 permit, use at meals instead of other liquids, as it greatly aids digestion. It will usually act freely upon 
 the bowels and kidne3's; should it not, use some simple purgative to aid the bowels at first. After a day or 
 two, it never fails to produce the desired effect. 
 
 For those suffering from any of the following diseases these simple rules will be found serviceable. 
 Where no special directions are given, general directions, given above, will apply. 
 
 In cases of Dyspepsia, ninety per cent of those taking the Bartlett Water treatment are entirely 
 cured, and all are benefited by its use. Take the water warm in the mornings upon arising. Great atten- 
 tion must be paid to diet and regularity in eating; no liquid should be used with meals save Bartlett 
 Water, and as much open-air exercise as possible, without over-exertion. 
 
 Bartlett Water has gained its greatest reputation as a specific for Kidney Diseases, for which it 
 appears to have a peculiar affinity. Even that awful Bright's Disease has been cured by its use. The 
 doctors also endorse its efficacy in cases of Diabetes. Patients may sometimes find the pains about the 
 regions of the kidneys increasing when they first begin the use of the water. These signs prove a 
 beneficial effect, and will pass away entirely if the use of the water is continued with regularity. 
 
 Malarial Affections may almost be said to be indigenous to California, as to all newly settled 
 countries, and other troubles arise from it, particularly diseases of the loins and .spleen. Hundreds of 
 people come to Bartlett every year who have malaria in one form or another, and all are benefited. If 
 those persons living in malarial sections of the country were to confine themselves to Bartlett Water as a 
 leverage, they would cease to be troubled by this insidious disease. 
 
 25 
 
Rheumatism — The discoverer of Bartlett Springs was snatched from the very jaws of death whither 
 he was being hurried by this awful disease, since which time thousands have used Bartlett Water for rheuma- 
 tism, all of whom have received relief. Many come here who have been at some one of the many hot 
 spring resorts, thoroughly run down by the disease itself and excessive bathing in hot water or mud. Their 
 recovery is usually very rapid at Bartlett. They gain flesh and strength from the very first, and the joints 
 regain their normal condition. 
 
 It is safe to assert that the cases of St. Vitus' Danck cured by the use of these waters is 100 per 
 cent. 
 
 Chronic Alcoholism — Bartlett Water removes all desire for alcohol in persons who have unfortu- 
 nately developed a taste for and acquired the drinking habit. Every effect of the alcoholic poison is 
 corrected and the system toned up and invigorated until the necessity for a stimulant no longer exists. 
 
 Gout is very obstinate, and the patient must diet and abstain entirely from alcoholic beverages. 
 
 Inflammation and Catarrh of the Bladder are both curable if the patient will but confine 
 himself exclusively to the use of Bartlett Water as a beverage. 
 
 Diseases of the Liver are quickly and effectively relieved by the waters. 
 
 Scurvy is effectively cured in from two to three weeks. 
 
 Eczema— It is safe to say that one will secure positive relief from this disease, and a Cure will be 
 effected by a persistent use of the water, either at home or at the Springs. 
 
 In Scarlet Fever the most successful physicians prescribe Bartlett Water in their treatment, as it 
 has exactly the effect upon the kidneys that is desired. 
 
 The waters are healthful and pleasant to the taste, containing those in.'^redients that increases the 
 flow of the saliva, gastric juice, bile, pancreatic juice, and intestinal fluids. They have a mild aperient 
 effect and an antiseptic influence on the intestines. Uric acid gravel and calculi are disintegrated and 
 eliminated. Albumen and sugar are diminished under its use. 
 
 As jV Bar Water it has no equal. It is fast growing in po])ularity, and the Carbonated Water is 
 rapidly taking the place of all other so-called Natural Spring Waters in the market for use in making 
 effervescent drinks.

 WHAT PROMINENT PHYSICIANS SAY 
 
 Professor James K. Crook, of New York, Post-Graduate Medical School, in The Mineral U'alers of the 
 
 United States, saj-s of Bartlett Springs : 
 
 " These Springs have been known for upward of twenty years, and have gained a wide reputation as a 
 health resort. No more pure and invigorating climate can be found than that of beautiful Lake County, and 
 the Bartlett Springs, being located in a canyon with high mountains on the north and south, are par- 
 ticularly well located to resist sudden changes of temperature. The thermometer shows a mean tem- 
 perature of 85° F. in the summer, and is never below 20° F. in the winter. The surrounding scenerj' is 
 grand and inspiring, and once looked upon is not easily forgotten. The elevation above the sea level 
 is about 2300 feet. The analysis of the principal vSpring, b}- Mr. George E. Colby, shows an alkaline- 
 carbonate water of moderate strength and possessing, especially in the sodium, calcium and magnesium 
 compounds, active remedial agents."
