 HARRINGTON MILLS, Manager. ••••Ii«««* 
 
 Season of 1901, ^unc 15 to September 15. 
 
 HMONG the summer resorts in the United States, the Greenbrier White Sulphur 
 Springs is not only one of the largest and best known, but one about which cluster 
 the greatest variety of historical associations. For nearly a century it has attracted 
 the best elements of Southern society, and for that reason has also brought many visitors 
 from the North, who find keen interest in mingling with unfamiliar types, which have for 
 them the attraction of novelty as well as of personal charm. For many years the gatherings 
 at the White Sulphur were characteristic of the Old South, and now that the New South has 
 reached a degree of wealth and development which have created another social order, it is 
 again the center of interest for the whole country during each recurring summer. In the 
 North there are a number of great watering places which divide the honors of being repre- 
 sentative places of recreation, but there is only one Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs. One 
 has but to glance at the list of guests in recent summers to be convinced that it is even 
 more distinctly a national watering place than ever, and draws its support from every part 
 of the country, and from all the varied factors which go to make up the most attractive 
 features of American life. 
 
 The most casual visitor to the White Sulphur Springs is struck at once by its distinctly 
 Southern characteristics, its quaintness, its space and freedom, and a certain prodigality of 
 appointments, which suggest old-fashioned luxury and ease ; but while none of its distinctive 
 character has been sacrificed, the various improvements demanded by modern ideas have con- 
 verted it into a watering place containing all the usual conveniences of a first-class resort.

The management for the coming season has again been entrusted to Mr. Harrington 
 Mills, one of the proprietors of The Grafton, at Washington, D. C. Mr. Mills will have 
 a thoroughly competent and well organized staff of assistants, and visitors may feel sure of 
 a careful administration. Besides retaining, as far as possible, all of the old employees, 
 who have made up one of the most attractive features of the "White" in former seasons, he 
 will endeavor to improve upon the service with such additions and changes as will best 
 inure to the comfort of the guests. 
 
 The White Sulphur does not pretend to, nor charge for exceptional display, but has 
 commodious, well-cared-for rooms, a clean and efficient service, a good table, a choice stock 
 of wines, a band of fifteen musicians, ample livery accommodations, and all the essentials of 
 a first-rate watering place. The hotel has elevator service, gas and electric lights, electric bells, 
 etc. In addition to the central hotel building there are about a hundred cottages, arranged 
 in rows about the grounds surrounding the hotel, which are very convenient for families or 
 parties of friends who wish to be secluded from the gayer and more active life. 
 
 For invalids the sulphur and chalybeate water, the hot sulphur baths, and the seclusion 
 of the cottages offer their well-known advantages; for children, the lawn, with its great 
 expanse and ample shade, affords unusual attractions and security from all danger, while 
 those who seek gaiety or social enjoyment will always find it among the throngs that fill the 
 large parlor, the great ball-room and the ample porches of the Grand Central Hotel. If 
 not satisfied with this, they can give their own private entertainments in the cafe, or indulge 
 in the pleasures of a lawn party under the wide-spreading oaks. 
 
 Improvements. 
 
 The management of the Springs have made a large outlay for the construction _ of a new 
 water supply and sewerage system, which, it is believed, will ensure the best sanitary con- 
 ditions, besides contributing materially to the comfort and convenience of the guests. A 
 number of private baths and toilets have been added to the cottages of Florida and 
 Georgia Row. Hcetvlene Gas has been introduced for lighting the hotel, cottages and lawn. 
 In addition to the gardens, from which a plentiful supply of fresh vegetables is furnished, a 
 dairy will be maintained with a fine herd of Jersey cows. Parents may be assured of having 
 the best quality of fresh milk every day for the children.

Che Representative Resort of the South. 
 
 CHESE SPRINGS are situated in the famous Springs region, directly on the main line 
 of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, and upon the western slope of the Great Appalachian 
 Mountains. The elevation above tide water is 2000 feet; the immediate surrounding 
 mountains something more than 8500 feet. The temperature of its waters is 62° Fahrenheit, 
 from which they do not vary during the heat of summer or the cold of winter. 
 
 The mean temperature at White Sulphur from the 15th of April to the 15th of Novem- 
 ber is about 63° Fahrenheit, or the same as the mean annual temperature at Cairo, Naples, 
 Nice and Madeira. 
 
 The Spring yields more than thirty gallons a minute; and it is a remarkable fact that this 
 quantity is not perceptibly varied during the longest spells of wet or dry weather. The quan- 
 tity and temperature of the Spring being uniform under all circumstances, give a confidence, 
 which experience has verified, of its uniform strength and efficiency. 
 
 Hnalysis of the fitter. 
 
 From the report of Prof. Hayes, of Boston, Fifty thousand grains of this water contain 
 
 one gallon contains 19.1 cubic inches of gas, 115.1 grains of saline matter, consisting of: 
 
 having the proportion of: Sulphate of Lime 67.168 
 
 Nitrogen Gas 4.680 Sulphate of Magnesia 30.364 
 
 Oxygen Gas 498 Chloride of Magnesium 859 
 
 Carbonic Gas 11.290 Carbonate of Lime 6.060 
 
 Hydro-Sulph. Acid 271 Organic Matter (dried at 212 ) .... 3.740 
 
 Carbonic Acid 4.584 
 
 Silicates(Silical.24,Potash .18, Soda .66, 
 Magnesia, and a traceof Oxideof Iron) . 2.960 
 
 The water is for sale by all druggists, or will be shipped from the Springs direct at the 
 following prices, f. o. b. White Sulphur : One case of 24 quarts, $5 ; one case of 48 pints, $5-50.

^Therapeutical effect of the dater. 
 
 The White Sulphur Water acts on the kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. As a diuretic, its 
 effects are very soon apparent, but it usually requires some days before it produces a decided 
 action on the bowels. Its operation on the liver, too, may not be manifest for some time, and 
 where there is much torpidity of this organ some auxiliary means is required. Its effect upon 
 the skin is very apparent, though not immediate. But the most decidedly controlling effect 
 of the water over diseased action, and that which more than any other gives its highest and 
 most valuable character as a remedy, is its alterative power, or that peculiar action by which 
 it effects salutary changes or alteration in the blood, in the various secretions and upon the 
 various tissues of the body. 
 
 Drinking the Slater. 
 
 No general directions can be given for the internal use of the water. The hours, the 
 quantity, and the period for which the water should be drunk depend upon the individual 
 requirements of the case, and should be ascertained by consulting a physician experienced in 
 the use of the waters. The action of the water is more intense if taken fresh from the Spring; 
 it is more stimulating, more readily absorbed, and produces its effect more promptly on cer- 
 tain organs than the water which has stood some time after being taken from the Spring; but 
 in some cases the use of the latter is to be preferred, and is thus frequently prescribed. 
 
 Observance of prudence and moderation in both eating and drinking is essential to obtain 
 the greatest benefit from the water, and occasionally its action has to be either modified or 
 increased by the use of medicine, or by the addition of a little salt to each glass. 
 
 Independently of the benefit to be derived from the waters, a better situation for a resi- 
 dence of invalids and delicate persons during the spring, summer and fall months can scarcely 
 be imagined. They have the advantage of a most salubrious and invigorating air, and the 
 most agreeable temperature — cool at morning and evening, and at no time oppressively warm.

Baths at the SUhite Sulphur. 
 
 The water used for bathing at the White Sulphur flows from the Sulphur Springs from 
 which the visitors drink. The analysis of this water shows it to contain about one hundred 
 and fifty grains of active medicinal salts to the gallon, and so far as the medication of the 
 waters can favorably affect the bath for which they are used, the White Sulphur baths have 
 the strongest claim to confidence, inasmuch as no other waters in America that are used for 
 bathing are more highly impregnated with mineral salts. 
 
 These baths in connection with the drinking of the Sulphur Waters, although not required 
 in every case, are a matter of the utmost importance in a large number of cases in aiding to 
 produce the best effect of the waters. 
 
 The proprietors of the Springs have recently greatly enlarged and so remodelled their 
 bathing establishment as to make it in every respect satisfactory, it is believed, to those who 
 may desire to avail themselves of its use. 
 
 The bathing-rooms are spacious, airy and comfortable, and have been supplied with 
 porcelain-lined tubs. In addition to the usual tub baths, there are douche baths for the 
 application of streams of hot or warm water to local parts of the body, and rooms have been 
 set apart and arranged for receiving sweating baths. 
 
 Those desiring to use hot sulphur baths, the effects of which are pronounced, should, 
 before taking them, be instructed under a proper knowledge of their case by the resident 
 physician, as such baths, to be used safely and efficaciously, must be used with careful refer- 
 ence to their temperature, the state of the system when employed, and the length of time the 
 bathers remain in them. 
 
 Swimming Pool. 
 
 In addition to the baths there is a well-equipped swimming pool, thirty by ninety feet. 
 The dressing-rooms and lockers are large and airy, giving the very best accommodation to 
 those who delight in this most healthful exercise.

Diseases to which the 3Qater is Hpplicable. 
 
 The White Sulphur Springs water, by long experience, has been found eminently bene- 
 ficial in all diseases due to abnormal conditions of the blood, or to derangement of the stomach, 
 bowels, liver, kidneys, bladder, skin, or nervous system. 
 
 It is a specific in dyspepsia, chronic diarrhoea, costiveness, jaundice, and torpiditv of the 
 liver. 
 
 % It is of great value in nervous affections, such as congestion of the brain, paralysis, 
 neuralgia, and sciatica. 
 
 It often effects cures in cases of hay fever, chronic nasal catarrh, asthma, and bronchitis, 
 and when the hot sulphur baths are used in connection with the drinking water malaria, gout, 
 and all forms of rheumatism are eradicated from the system. 
 
 The water has also been proved highly efficacious in many diseases incident to females. 
 and a valuable adjuvant to the treatment of inebriates and opium eaters. 
 
 Chalybeate Springs. 
 
 About forty rods from the White Sulphur Springs is a Chalybeate Spring, in which the 
 iron exists in the form of carbonate of iron, the mildest, least offensive, and ordinarily the 
 most valuable form in which ferruginous waters are found. For the last twenty years this 
 water has been considerably used by the class of visitors whose diseases require an iron tonic, 
 and its effects have realized the rational hopes that were indulged in it.

Society and its Hmusements. 
 
 There is no other place where one may get so full a view into 
 the social life of the South as at White Sulphur, the resort of the 
 gallantry and the beauty of so many generations. The buildings 
 are in the old colonial style, and in their spacious halls or on their 
 broad piazzas one experiences all that has given Southern society 
 its distinctive character. 
 
 The parlor is a magnificent room, half as large again as the 
 celebrated East Room in the President's Mansion. The ball-room 
 is of the same dimensions as the parlor. The dining-room is more 
 than 300 feet in length, and seats 1200 persons. 
 
 During the season, besides the nightly hops, there are several 
 grand, fancy and masquerade balls, which add to the amusement of 
 the guests. 
 Music will be furnished by an orchestra of fifteen pieces. 
 
 Other amusements will be found in the games of bowls, billiards, tennis, cards, etc., while 
 the lovers of out-of-door life will always find a pleasant ride or drive through the valley 
 or over the mountains, with lovely views to reward them at every 
 turn. Within the beautiful sixty-acre lawn will be found slated ft- 
 
 bicycle paths. Those who seek sport can find guides and hunt for • &-"' StVV^'- 
 
 pheasants in the foot-hills, or enjoy the bass fishing in the beautiful */••* ,j*SS* 
 
 Greenbrier river. Those who seek trout will have further to go, 
 but good sport can be had by those who wish it, using the White 
 as the base of their movements. 
 
 Scenery. 
 
 Nature has contributed the most charming surroundings of 
 scenery to the White Sulphur. Forest, vale and mountain are here 
 in rare and unique combination, presenting at every turn new views 
 of the picturesque, the beautiful, and the grand, sufficient for the 
 gratification of every taste. 
 
 IS 
 
GEORGIA ROW. 
 
The first thing that is likely to attract the visitor, and especially from the heated and 
 dusty city, is the vast lawn of green, velvety turf, shaded by noble forest oaks, luxuriant 
 sugar maples and venerable pines. Under these monarchs of the forest wild flowers are 
 seen in profusion and in great variety, from the tiny violet to the modest laurel and the 
 gaudy rhododendron. Next the eye wanders through the curving walks and drives, inter- 
 mingling, but all tending to the great center of attraction, the Grand Old Fountain, shaded 
 by ancient oaks, and daily pouring from its exhaustless resources more than 40,000 gallons 
 of healing waters. 
 
 About the "Old White," too, there is, in a particular sense, an immensity of sky and 
 air. Here are no unwholesome vapors, no malaria ; no noxious dews poison the early morn 
 or shadowy twilights. 
 
 A striking feature in the scenery is the surrounding mountains. "Kate's," with its old 
 family legend, is one mile to the south, and 3500 feet above the sea; "Greenbrier," the same 
 distance to the west, and of equal altitude. To the southwest, and three miles distant, are 
 the mountains known as "White Rock." On the summit of these mountains is discovered 
 a striking resemblance to a human figure of gigantic size, which has been the wonder and 
 admiration of all visitors, and which has been named the old "Titan," who in solitary 
 grandeur keeps guard like a giant over the White Sulphur.
