The Arrowhead 
 
 BLAZED on a smooth-cut wrinkle of one of the peaks of the Sierra Madre Mountains, is the 
 huge mysterious Arrowhead, pointing to the healing springs, as distinct in outline as any that ever 
 tipped an Indian arrow. Travelers on any of the three great transcontinental railroads leading 
 into Southern California can see it thirty miles away, as their train sweeps through the gate-way in the 
 mountains from the desert to the green valley of the land of golden afternoon. 
 
 More and more these travelers are coming to ascrihe to this 
 
 ^-j^ arrowhead something of the mystic meaning it had for the Indians 
 
 W that roamed these bald mountains and fertile valleys no one knows 
 
 £ * C&*\ r how long hefore the padres came to conquer and convert them, and 
 
 J. AWL ^ ' atcr f° r tnc handful of Mormon pioneers who trekked from Salt 
 
 ^*™" Lake City nearly a thousand miles to form a settlement at San 
 
 Bernardino. 
 
 By the sign of the Arrowhead the Indians knew of a boiling 
 spring that gushed at all seasons without variation from the moun- 
 tainside, and 'which they used as a cure-all. 
 
 Here they brought their sick and afflicted that they might 
 bathe and drink of the healing -waters and find relief from illness 
 and disease. 
 
 They knew not why these waters possessed health-giving prop- 
 erties, nor did they seek to discover the cause — they knew the sig- 
 nificance of the Arrowhead pointing to the boiling springs and 
 acted upon that knowledge. 
 
Bv tli, Arrowhead, which 
 
 Dngham 1 ! limed to nave seen in a

 explorer- to their journey 3 end: and soon af- 
 .■ ! i Mormon elder named Smith, having

 to the Arrowhead Spring- and come down

 13y tin- -.imc -I'jn ol the Arrowhead, traveler- Irom everywhere are learning that hidden in the 
 folds of the Sierra Madrcs is one of the hoftcst curative springs in the world. 'The water as it runs 
 Irom a -core ol -ourcc- through a deep gash in the mountain, i- Irom 30 to 80 degree- hotter than the 
 hotte-t ol European Springs, and 74 degrees hotter than the famous Hot Springs of Arkansas. 
 
 No wonder that the Indians used to say that this is the dwelling place ol the Great Spirit. And 
 here they came lor hundreds and thousands of years before the white man discovered the Arrowhead. 
 before a hath bouse was built, before a building was erected. They bathed in the waters ol the bubbling 
 pools and were relieved of their disorders and diseases, and went away relre-hed. rejuvenated, healed, 
 breathing prayer- ol gratitude to the Great Spirit. 
 
 And then the white men came. and. seeing the results obtained by the red brother-, they too 
 utilized the healing waters. And so ARROWHEAD has been a place ol pilgrimage for fifty years 
 and more. 
 
 There i- I legend that Arrowhead was neutral ground lor all Indian tribe.-. Here even the ene- 
 mies met and were Iricnds — for the time being at le.i-t. No w ar was made upon the Mck and unfor-

A Universal 
 Symbol 
 
 IX SERVES only to deepen the mystery of this strange 
 and wonderfully beautiful mountain to contemplate the fact 
 that the Arrowhead is the most universal of symbols. All 
 arrowheads, whether found in California, Ohio, Asia, Africa, 
 Peru, or anywhere else on earth, are fashioned from the same 
 pattern. Wherever savage man, prehistoric or otherwise, made 
 an arrowhead, he made it exactly on the design with which we 
 are all familiar. In illustration, if a tribe of savages were 
 brought from the African jungle to America, everything would 
 be entirely strange to them. They would see nothing familiar, 
 nothing that they could recognize. But if they were brought 
 to San Bernardino Valley they would instantly recognize the 
 symbol on the Mountain of the Arrowhead. Therefore, if it 
 were the intent of the Inscrutable Power that branded the 
 mountain to draw the attention of all men to the healing waters 
 bubbling up from Natures laboratory, no symbol at all approach- 
 ing the effectiveness of the arrowhead could have been used. 
 
 Generations of 
 men have won- 
 dered concerning 
 the formation of 
 this marvel o u s 
 pre-historic land- 
 mark so clearly 
 demarkated upon 
 the mountain side, 
 but no one has 
 been able to de- 
 termine with sci- 
 entific accuracy 
 the exact cause of 
 1 t s origin. The 
 symbol is so per- 
 fect and points so 
 directly to the 
 mineral hot 
 springs that the 
 simple Indian ar- 
 rowhead has been 
 adopted and is 
 now the recog- 
 nized trade-mark 
 of the Arrowhead 
 Hot Springs. 
 
Location 
 
 Till: ARROWHEAD HOT SPRINGS are sit- 
 Dated in San Bernardino County. Southern California 
 — The Italy of America. It has an approximately 
 perfect all-the-ycar-around climate. This is a rare and in- 
 inlc feature, possessed by very few sections of the 
 w orld. and nowhere to the same degree as here. After 
 experiencing the terribly inclement winters which arc char- 
 .ictcri-tic of most sections of the North American continent. 
 who can wonder that hundreds of thousands of % i.-itor- make 
 an annual pilgrimage to Southern California during the w in- 
 lOntlU, where statistics of the United States Weather 
 Bureau show that the thermometer 
 went below 32 degrees only eleven times 
 yc;u 
 
 Every - sensible doctor will tell his patients that the 
 most effectual remedy nature - own remedy for almost 
 every disease — is to spend as much time as possible in 
 the open air. One reason for preferring Arrowhead 
 over other health resorts, is that this course is possible 
 all the year round. Arrow head affords more perfect 
 days during the year for outdoor life, winter and sum- 
 
 mcr. than any other place in the world. Here days of cloudless skies come and 
 
 go. Summer glides into winter without perceptible effort, and the startling 
 
 changes in the seasons so dreaded elsewhere are not noticed Winter is heralded

 and nights arc cooler, but the flowers arc not injured, and delicate rose 
 bushes, burdened with blossoms, arc never touched by frosts. 
 
 Mountain trails invite one to quiet rambles or strenuous climbs ever 
 
 changing and of never ceasing interest. To walk lor miles on city streets or 
 
 along country roads is apt to become tiresome and you soon appreciate that 
 
 there is plenty of exercise in walking. But at Arrowhead, w ith 
 
 some new view of surpassing beauty at every bend in the trail, one 
 
 covers much ground and gains the benefits of out-door exercise with 
 
 no feeling of fatigue you have keen zest and constantly active, lively 
 
 interval ID every tiling and the time passes before you realize it. You 
 
 w ill appreciate, how ever, that you have had some exercise, by your 
 
 good appetite and by the soundness of your 
 
 sleep. 
 
Climate 
 
 o 
 
 |F THE CLIMATE of the Springs, it is enough to say that it is 
 the climate or California — of California at her hest, the California 
 of the South — the climate of the Rivera, of the Mediterranean 
 hasin, tempered hy 2,000 feet of altitude. A climate -where the air is 
 always pure and exhilerating, no matter -what the temperature or season. 
 If the wind currents sweep in from the West or South, it is the air of 
 mid-ocean dried and scented hy filtering through fifty miles of pine-clad 
 Coast Range. If the hreeze streams in from the East or North, it is the 
 clear, hnght air of the desert, cooled hy crossing the mile-high rampart of 
 the snowy Sierras. The average temperature of the six summer months is 
 only 62 degrees. The average temperature of the six winter months is 50 
 degrees. Thus making a difference hetween -winter and summer of less than 
 fifteen degrees and insuring cool nights the whole year 
 round. Blankets are a necessity on your hed all the 
 year through. During the months of July, August 
 and September, the thermometer reaches considerable 
 elevation during the middle of the day. This, how- 
 ever, only lasts two or three hours, is quickly tem- 
 pered by the sea breeze which springs up early every 
 afternoon, and by evening it has become cool enough 
 to make a light -wrap pleasant if sitting out of doors. 
 An Arrowhead summer is about equivalent to mid- 
 June in New England. Its winter — nothing is de- 
 lightful enough to be compared with it. The boiling 
 
 hot summer of Southern California is a myth, born of the imagination of the 
 
 winter visitor, -who hurries home early in May, convinced that any place having 
 
 such a mild winter must have a sizzling summer. 
 
 Such, however, is not the case. It is true the temperature does go 
 
 up to 100 degrees and sometimes a little higher for a period of two or 
 
 three days. But so far as experiencing discomfort, you do not feel 
 
 the heat at 100 degrees in Southern California as much as you do 80 
 
 degrees in most other places. There is no humidity and you do not 
 
 sweat and become oppressed as is the case elsewhere. And in the 
 
 shade even on the hottest day one finds instant relief from the heat 
 
 of the sun. Then the nights are always cool and you can get rest 
 
 and strength, and you arise in the morning with renewed 
 
 vigor, ready and anxious to go forth to meet the duties 
 
 and pleasures of another new day, the rare extreme heat 
 
 of the preceding or the coming day not be- 
 ing given a serious thought. 
 
Arrowhead 15 the choicest spot in all Southern California 
 rar enough Irom the coast to ocape the occasional cool damp fogs, 
 anj high enough in altitude to give just enough Stimulant to suit 
 everyone, it is located in a thermal hclt which is particularly 
 healthful and beneficial. Not too hiv;li lor tho-c with weak lungs 
 or heart disease, just high enough to benefit the asthmatic and to 
 give pure air and tine views to all. The atmosphere of the moun- 
 t.un- lorms a hctter and more effective sleeping draught than any 
 tli.it can be obtained at the drug stores, and. moreover, it- effects 
 ire lasting, A number of tent houses have been put up. whereby 
 the full benefit of this soothing mountain air can be obtained by 
 sleeping out of doors. 
 
 The nights are always cool, sometimes almost cold, even in the 
 dead of summer. One can therefore sleep well, and 1- always 
 reireshed and invigorated tor the following day. 
 
 Ihc tired, worn-out business man. the hi^h-strung nervous 
 woman, find here ideal conditions lor re-I and renewed vigor and 
 v it.ility. 
 
 Ihc very air you breathe, the very surroundings you live in. 
 contribute to improved healthfulnc — without one * being conscious 
 
 ol making any error! or enduring any hardship in the struggle to 
 
 regain the unbounded |oy ol perfect health In other words, you 
 
 are peaceful, contented, and happy, and enjoy life while regaining 
 
 health 
 
 These effects ot climate on health .ire not idle claims, hut have 
 been proved true by thousands, 1 w ill be testified to by hun- 
 dreds ol physicians ill over the country who have sent their 
 
 patients to Southern California, and more particularly t.. 
 Arrow head.

Climate in itself has a very material effect on health. The low death rate of 
 Los Angeles, and other Southern California cities, and the large numher of people 
 who live to a ripe old age, conclusively establish that the climate of California is 
 particularly conducive to good health. 
 
 In the case of a hot springs resort the matter of cli- 
 mate is of the utmost importance, as it is bound to have a 
 very material effect upon the visitors. A person taking fre- 
 quent hot haths and drinking plentifully of hot water, is m 
 the very nature of things apt to he more susceptible to sudden 
 changes in the weather, and if taking these baths where such 
 changes are of frequent occurrence, he must exercise extreme 
 care in the matters of clothing, etc. This is unnecessary at 
 Arrowhead, because the climate is particulary equable. The 
 U. S. Government has located a Weather Bureau Station 
 here and the records show that the temperature varies very 
 little. There is no extreme heat m summer nor cold in 
 winter. The temperature in winter is about like that of Mew 
 Orleans, without the dampness. The air is not laden 'with 
 moisture, or the sky covered -with gloomy clouds, but there 
 is almost constant sunshine the year round. 
 
 The -warmth of the middle of the day in summer is 
 tempered by the afternoon sea breeze, while the morning and 
 evening air has just the right touch of delicious coolness. 
 
 All this encourages out-door life, and the lovely 
 drives and walks and beautiful scenery make a temptation for 
 open air exercise that is irresistible. Good air, fine climate 
 and attractive surroundings are almost as important at a health 
 resort as medical care and attendance. 
 
1 he Mountains of Mystery 
 
 THE. RE arc mountains everywhere in California barriers alike against the great ocean and the 
 great desert — luring hills of glory, upstanding against the hlucst of skies or rifting the occasional 
 clouds. Between Shasta in the north and Whitney in the south, they stretch their golden 
 chains. So vast and mighty are they that half the world might find room and sustenance within their 
 canyons and innumerable recesses. Upon the sides they hear forests of trees, many a one of which fall- 
 ing, could have crushed the fleets of Balboa, and which arc still young after sixty centuries of age. 
 
 It were difficult to say which distinct mountain among all these giant ranges is individually the 
 m. i -t beautiful. There can be no doubt, however, that a fascination, disassociated from any other, at- 
 taches to the wonderful peaks of the San Bernardino range. They are equal to any in majesty, they 
 are unique in the human history that clings to them and the valley of San Bernardino at their feet : 
 they were the first to be seen by the early explorers of California. But. most interesting and important 
 of all u the fact that here is found the Mountain of the Arrowhead, which, beyond all doubt, is the most 
 terious mountain in the world. 
 
 Upon the mountain gleams, clear-cut. sharp and perfect in every outline, a great Arrowhead in 
 
 j^f , startling emblazonment. 
 
 .^fl Turn as the traveler will 
 
 -» on the winding trails, that 
 
 ^k mighty mystic symbol 
 
 keeps him ever in watchful 
 
 suzerainty. At length he 
 
 comes directly under it. 
 
 seeing, like white sentinels 
 
 above it. the cloud-piercing 
 
 splendor of Mt. San Oor- 
 
 gonio. and still farther on 
 
 Mt. San Jacinto, robed 
 
 eternal in monarch- ermine 
 
It is a pity that Bernard of Sienna, now long sleeping with 
 the dust, could not have set root in the place named in his honor 
 in Southern California. Lifting his eyes from the gardens of won- 
 der in ban Bernardino s good, gray town, or standing knee-deep in 
 the wild flowers of the Campagna, he would have looked upon the 
 Mountains of Mystery — snow-crowned monarchs enthroned be- 
 tween their dual kingdoms of the desert and the sea. 
 
 He -would have seen the glow and glory on the peaks of 
 ban Antonio shining in the sun and capped with perennial snows. 
 To the right are visihle the dim outlines of the Coast 
 Range that leap into cones and great shoulders and round- 
 ed domes, sometimes in swinging chains and again uplifted 
 separately and alone from the vast plains. On the 
 left a giant hill would break his vision — a serrono 
 before the majesty of which the walled mountains 
 fall as a curtain is parted and drawn hack on either 
 side from an easel. 
 
 Here one hears the songs of wild birds and 
 drinks the perfume of emerald hills. You look fr 
 the glory of -white peaks above you down into the 
 depths of sun-kissed meadows and gardens riotous 
 with flowers. 
 
 It is altogether a corner of the world like no 
 other, a place which binds the heart to its beauty, 
 that holds the dwellers, and which sends the guest 
 reluctantly away, never to forget. 
 
Snow Crowned 
 jMonarcns 
 
 Til! now crowned monarch- which 
 nave as their footstools San Bernar- 
 dino I valley of romance, rank among 
 trie greatest mountains of the globe. I he sailor 
 sees them from the deck 01 hi- ship on the blue 
 w iters of the Pacific, a hundred miles aw iy 
 
 'The beckoning dome of San Gorgonio lllu- 
 ionizes the traveler to the l.i-t. appearing al- 
 w ivs near, seemingly always near, yet ap- 
 parently as unattainable as ever with each ap- 
 proaching mile. At last it tower- over the 
 very streets of San Bernardino town, though 
 
 a great plain intervenes. Its height is 12.000 
 feet above the level of the sea. Away yonder 
 to the right stands San Jacinto, rising segregat- 
 ed and almost sheer tO an altitude ol 1 1 ,0(X) 
 feet ; to the left San Antonio. 10.000 feet. 
 
 I hese are the Mountain- ol My-tcry that 
 have seen Time, with its countless years gather 
 to oust races of men. peoples, tribes, clans, and 
 with them what they have wrought. 
 
 In the caves and caverns and sears of these 
 great hills arc traces of temples and broken 
 Cities, buried and re-buried, hidden and again 
 cast up from pasts that go back to chaos itself. 
 
 Mountain-walled is San Bernardino, save at 
 the west ; and. even there rise the great, up- 
 lifted plains of Cucamonga. On no day ol 
 the year is the valley of St. Bernard without 
 its breath of bloom, its flame 01 (lowered hed- 
 ges, its crow ding gardens of roses and its widc- 
 flung. upland slopes of lemon and orange groves 
 hung v. ith opulent gold. W ithal. the moun- 
 tain top- are white with -now during more 
 than two-thirds of the year. 
 
 Thus is the valley of Romance belted by a 
 mighty panorama of everlasting hills, beautiful 
 
beyond poet s song or painter a picture. Changeful is their glory as every day's inconstant mood, now 
 emblazoned in the sun, now dim in misted rains, sort in shadows of the cloud, glorified in desert dawns, 
 royal in sunset s purple, soft in the mellow moons and diademed with stars. 
 
 No man has ever seen a fairer spot than the Valley of Romance. Above it, serene, immutable and 
 radiant as the glory of God, glow the great mountains. Down from the heart of the emerald hills leap 
 crystal streams, flashing like jewels in the sun, singing to the rocks, and laughing to the nodding wild 
 flowers -while rambling on the way. 
 
 Springtime spreads a carpet of glory for the feet of all in the valley. Gentians, poppies, mallows, 
 phlox, verbenas, orchids, manposa lilies, all wild, and the ■wild rose, too ; these and countless flowers of 
 every color and every hue are found here. 
 
 And when, in the times of the Spanish Fathers, the Captain of Tubac knelt on that royal carpet 
 to lift his heart to the God of Things, he lacked not for altars at -which to pray. On the hill slopes 
 ■were myriad yuccas, creamy, and each -with its thousand bells. In the olden times men were near to 
 God. On the green altars of the hills the Conquestadore saw the shining yuccas and called them La 
 Lampara de Dios — " X he Candles of the Lord." 
 
 The superb, crowning glory of this valley is a sunrise of perfect beauty. Nothing moves but the 
 dawn whose outgoing breath tints with saffron and gold 
 the edge of the sky and who mounts -with a measureless 
 calm, a grand austerity, that oftimes lifts to its own 
 height the soul of him who worships from below. 
 
 It is here the most mysterious Arrowhead 
 points to the hoftest curative springs in the world, 
 where the Arrowhead Hotel has been built. 
 
Starting from trie hotel one may follow a woodland path, under the shade of leafy tree?. 
 \c a clear running brook. Down and down this path will lead until you find yourself in 
 a vcrt.ihlc fairy woods, with the brook developed into a fast running, ringing >tream. But your 
 fairy walk is not ended here. Crossing a rustic bridge you begin to ascend — in and out by turn- 
 your path leads hy easy grades up Health Mountain. But at every turn, you involuntarily stop 
 to enjoy the beautiful views which always include the mighty Arrowhead as a background, 
 with the picturesque hotel and gardens in the foreground. Reaching the summit, the surprise 
 experienced upon discovering you have climbed hundreds of feet, is almost entirely eclipsed by 
 the wonderful panorama unfolded before your eyes. 
 
 Similar trails, graded with engineering skill, lead to all choice places in the canyon ,.r 
 along the mountain sides. Tht rambling and climbing has bean made easy for even the most 
 delicate. Benches await the weary who do not care to recline on Mother Nature s green 
 carpet Iron rod? for hand-holts encourage the timid in climbing around rocky points that 
 arc really not dangerous for children clamber gleefully over them — hut the management of 
 this wonderful park wish everyone to enjoy themselves every moment without even an in- 
 stant of hesitation or shrinking. For the strenuous, seeking an outlet for supcrfluos vitality 
 and energy, there arc the higher mountain trails that rise mile after mile to the top of the 
 main divide. W)00 feet above the ocean, and leading to Squirrel Inn. Skyland. Pine 
 C.iv-t. Bear Valley and other distant points. 
 
 Mysterious canyons penetrating deep into the heart of the ranges radiate from 
 the hotel. Deep, narrow valleys, where a precipice two or three hundred feet high 
 
 in places, shut out 
 the sunlight: and 
 opening out into de- 
 lightful nooks and 
 coves that are ver- 
 tiblc flower gardens. 
 At one point tower- 
 ing sections or rocks 
 hold the eye of the 
 geologist, in another 
 ferns and 
 flowers drape the 
 banks with their 
 choicest tapestry. 
 
 a# 
 
charming the botanist. To all, these heavily shaded gorges are 
 places of delight, flower-decorated, and musical with the songs of 
 mountain hrooks. Overhead are the arches formed hy the branches 
 of the heavy tree growth; sycamore, maple, oak, alder, pine, cedar, 
 and juniper, hiding the sun. 
 
 Ike change of foliage marks the differences of elevation, as 
 one climbs up from the sub-tropical to 
 Alpine heights. 
 
 Nothing can surpass the inter- 
 est with which the guest looks forward 
 each day to exploring some new 
 trail in this land of enchantment. 
 Returning from a tramp of un- 
 usual charm you will think 
 Arrowhead can not 
 possibly have anoth- 
 er walk of such sur- 
 passing beauty, only 
 to discover the next 
 day a trad of even 
 
 greater won- 
 ders. Spark- 
 ing streams of 
 purest water, 
 gushing from 
 eternal springs, 
 leap over the 
 ledges and 
 among the boulders: 
 now stopping to play 
 awhile in some emerald 
 pool sunk in the gran- 
 ite, then hiding in the shadows of ferns and vines. 
 1 hese depths, where one may get near to nature, are quiet, 
 except for the songs of birds and of the rippling brooks ; just the 
 hidden spot where one may rest and enjoy peace ; where all cares 
 fall away and are forgotten, and where the worries of this life 
 cease from troubling. 
 
Beaut 1 1 ul 
 drives for 
 
 automobiles and c a r- 
 riages lead from the 
 valley up to the I lot

 pick out the route of future trip-. 
 In all directions from the hotel 
 one finds the most scenic dri 
 the world. 'The roads arc good all 
 the year round. It is a paradise 
 for the motorist. 
 
 It i- unpOMublc to describe the 
 iLli.'ht of driving on perfect roads 
 amid rugged mountain scenery. 
 
 A good road leads from the 
 hotel through Waterman Canyon, 
 i tbe property of the Company I, to 
 Squirrel Inn. across Bear Valley, 
 and right on up to the heights of 
 Mt. San Bernardino This is one 
 of the most wonderful automobile 
 drives in tbe world — or it 
 la even more delightful to 
 go to the top of the moun- 
 tain by carriage or on 
 horseback. Facilities arc 
 provided at the hotel for 
 making the trip in any one 
 of these ways. 
 
From the front windows and porches of the hotel one looks down on a valley whose history- 
 dates hack to 1774, when the Indians told Juan de Anza that it was "Cuachma" — the place of plenty. 
 
 There are California valleys -which have heen reclaimed from arid desolation to bewildering 
 beauty and productivity hy the skill of the engineer who harnessed the far distant waters or drew them 
 from subturranean channels, thus causing myriad blades of grass to grow -where none grew before. But 
 the valley of San Bernardino was always a well watered valley, lush with grass and alive with game. 
 Long before the land was taken up hy settlers, the wild grape, the wild currant and the wild gooseberry 
 grew in lavish profusion. This valley is the most beautiful and fertile in the country — the Government 
 reports for 1913 show Los Angeles County to be the richest in the United States in the value of its 
 farm products. 
 
 The view 19 one never to be forgotten, reaching from Redlands on the east nearly to Los Angeles 
 on the west, a distance of over sixty miles, and extending south twenty miles to the range beyond Riv- 
 erside. One looks down on a checkerboard of cultivated ranches that occupy the level lands. Here 
 and there hills rise from the plains, like islands dotting the sea, hills that gleam with crops of green and 
 gold, or form a brown background with their robes of heather. It is a picture of sun-kissed meadows, 
 groves filled with golden oranges, and gardens riotous with flowers. 
 
 It is a scene ever changing in its moods; now bright with sunshine, gleaming and sparkling like a 
 fairy land; now soft and dreamy in the shadow of the clouds; and in the mornings and evenings glowing 
 with the richest of colors; and at night half concealed and half revealed in the starlight, the center of the 
 picture accented and set off by the myriads of twinkling lights from the cities below. The clearness and 
 purity of the air bring distant objects near and give a vividness to detail that is a constant source of sur- 
 prise and pleasure to every new-comer. 
 
'The gardens, the farm, the olive orchard, and even the chicken ranch, offer attraction- 
 for the visitor. He may study at In- lci-urc the strange variety of crops growing side by 
 -ice. and realize what intcn^ilicd farming under irrigation will do in the sub-tropics: and at 
 
 the same time sec where some of the good thing- tor 
 
 Hthc tahle come from.

 brought the first stock of 
 blooded Jcr-cy cows to the San Ber-

 and when he became interested in the 
 hotel, about eight years ago, he determined 
 that above all things the guests should 1 
 Irc-h milk and butter and good things to cat. 
 This determination has been lived up to. 'The 
 Stock at the dairy farm is the best — all regis-

 Out-door 
 Sports 
 
 Nowhere in 
 America 
 are affor- 
 ded such abundant 
 opportunities for 
 quiet rambles or 
 invigorating 
 mountain climb- 
 ing witn new 
 scenes of ever- 
 lncreasing beauty 
 at every turn and 
 bend of the trail. 
 An hours climb 
 
 ■will carry you from the sub-tropics through the temperate zone to the Alpine. Ike mouths of half a 
 dozen canyons can be reached in fifteen minutes walk from the hotel. 
 
 The delight and charm of out-door life in these most refreshing natural surroundings are truly 
 beyond the power of description. They can only be appreciated by a visit to Arrowhead. 
 
 For those who enjoy more vigorous exercise, unrivalled tennis courts have been provided. 
 Within a minute s walk of the hotel, and directly facing it at the foot of a precipitate drop of about 
 twenty feet. Mother Nature herself has leveled off a fine plateau just large enough for the courts. 
 From the end of the plateau the mountain continues with an abrupt descent to the valley, some two 
 
 thousand feet below. 
 
 It is here the tennis grounds have been laid out on a dirt court that is in 
 fact, absolutely reliable (there being no unevenness to mar the play ) , and much 
 easier on the feet than a cement court. 
 
 Here match games of unsurpassing interest can be and are played with 
 the utmost enjoyment the year round. 
 
 On this plateau, cut in as it ■were on the side of the mountain, one could 
 almost imagine himself playing a game of tennis on the edge of the world. 
 The grounds are entirely surrounded by a wire netting, fifteen feet high, so 
 there are no tiresome waits while retrieving balls. 
 
 A medical director outlines a course of exercises for any guest making 
 such a request, and these exercises, taken out of doors where there is health- 
 giving, invigorating mountain air, are doubly beneficial. From fifteen minutes 
 to one-half hour spent this way every morning, followed by a cold shower 
 and rub. give renewed vigor and vim for the whole day .and build up strength 
 and vitality that should last for years.

 NO OTHER HEALTH RESORT has sucb a sign of world-wide fame as the Arrowhead 
 — of puzzling interest to traveler, geologist, botanist, antiquarian and historian. No wonder 
 that many legends Have keen woven about its history by botb civilized and savage peoples. 'The 
 surroundings are as remarkable as the wonderful arrow itself, for tbey form a playground beyond tbe 
 power of man to produce artifically. 
 
 Tbey make a public park rivaling in size tbosc of tbe larger cities, and surpassing in extent il 
 of any otber bcaltb resort in tbe world. The large boldings of tbe Arrowhead Hot Springs Comp.iny 
 of nearly two thousand acres, is twice as large as that of the famous U. S. reservation known as the 
 Arkansas Hot Springs. The Arkansas health resort consisted originally of 2529 acres, but 1628 acres 
 have been awarded to individual use. leaving only 900 to the springs and park. 
 
 'The Arrowhead Hot Springs personal holdings are surrounded on the north, west and east by 
 the U. S. fore~t re-crvation, the two forming forever a public park unequalled in extent, variety, and 
 scenery, by any other health resort of any clime. 
 
IS PROPERTY 
 
 The region immediately around the springs has placed the landscape gardener upon his metal, and 
 the -work of making the area around the hotel like a city park, without destroying in the least the charm 
 of the natural scenery, is already well advanced. 
 
 It is evident then that this is not one of the places where all the charms, attractions and induce- 
 ments are confined to the waters, and to the -walls of the hotel, and where one has seen it all after 
 walking once around the huilding. The Company is taking advantage of its exceptional surroundings. 
 
> ^pyg 
 
 W^^^^^^— The swim- 
 
 ming pool, a few steps 
 back of the hotel, is a great 
 rendezvous on warm days, 
 and of course in Calitor- 
 lornia there arc few day- that arc 
 not warm enough to thoroughly enjoy 
 a swim. 'The water in the grot con- 
 crete rcscvoir is warm, being piped from Palm Spring, and lose* but little of its warmtb by standing in 
 the open air. 'The water i- .ilw.iv- Iresh as a const.int -tream runs into and out of tbe pool. 'The depth 
 lei from tbrec to seven feet. 
 
 After .1 mountain climb nothing is so invigorating and refreshing as a dive into the clear depths 
 o{ tlu- clean, (real) water, from tbe -pnn^-bo.ird. coming up .it the far end of the plunge, then a short run 
 along the board walk to the bath-hou-e. lor a rub and a rest. 
 
 'The pool is surrounded by a heavy fringe of shrubbery, so that it has the 
 privacy of an indoor plunge, as well as the cxhilirating freedom of the open air. 
 
 In back of the hotel, and immediately adjoining the bath-house, space has 
 been -et aside for an athletic farm. A small running track with graduated hurdle- 
 Been provided. There arc also punching bags, parallel bars. etc. 
 Part of the grounds arc covered with the regulation canvas, for boxing and 
 wrestling. Here in tbe cool early morning, those so inclined can engage in the 
 particular sort of exereiM tOM\ will be most beneficial to health 
 — tossing the medicine hall, pulling weights, punching the bag. or 
 w batever is adapted to develop those muscles which most need 
 
 Dgtnening. There is nothing "cribbed, cabined or omlined. 
 
 but all out 01 door- lor pleasure, sport and enjoyment. 
 
Arrowhead offers unusual facilities for "conditioning 
 business men and others who have gone to seed from their 
 pursuits in the strenuous life. If a man is nervous, sleep- 
 less, no appetite, and out of condition generally, you have got to get his 
 mind off that fact hefore anything can he done for the hetterment of his 
 health. The body must be released from its mental load (for the mental load is very 
 often the prime cause of the physical body being out of condition), and given a chance 
 to build up tissues and sinews. Nothing will accomplish this so well as out-door physical exercise. 
 
 Elsewhere, you can never tell, in summer, when it is going to rain, and of course in winter the 
 discomfort is extreme. At Arrowhead the rains send out their advance notices days ahead, and when 
 the rains do come the after effects disappear so quickly that out-door exer- 
 cise is hardly interrupted. And as for winter- — there is no -winter. In short, 
 out-door exercise is practicable all the year round. As for environment — 
 there is no comparison between the conditions here and anywhere else in the 
 country. The environment is ideal. 
 
 Golf and polo are within easy access of the guests 
 or the hotel. At Redlands, ten miles distant and easily 
 reached by electric trolley, is one of the finest golf courses 
 in America, and at Riverside, only fifteen miles away, is 
 one of the greatest centers for polo playing in the United 
 States. Here all during the winter months, the local team 
 plays match games with teams from Coronado, banta Bar- 
 bara, Pasadena, the East, Canada and England. 1 hese matches 
 are of international interest, and Arrowhead is particularly 
 fortunate in being located within such easy reach of the 
 grounds. 
 
 Many pages might be devoted to the sports 
 and pastimes of this locality, and much would re- 
 main unsaid. Realization of the many recreations 
 is possible only by one being on the ground.

 most desirable spots, and their 
 sites were chosen after thorough 
 and earnest search. These loca-

 tense agricultural industry, rich 
 lands and beautiful scenery alw i\ -

The Hotel 
 
 THE HOTEL has been built to match the sur- 
 roundings, in mission style, with broad veran- 
 das, superb foyer and lobby with great field 
 stone fire places here and there; large, cool rooms, -with 
 a masterpiece landscape framed in each window, warmed 
 throughout -with a vapor-vacuum steam heating system; 
 provided with elevators, electric lights, and shower 
 baths. It is planned for quiet comfort, repose and 
 health; its luxunousness, equipment and furnishings 
 make it fulfill the most exacting expectation. 
 
 ike walls of the first story are of granite 
 taken from the mountains by which the hotel 
 is surrounded, and other stories are of Portland 
 cement of the best grade 
 and quality — the 'whole 
 making a building which 
 is architecturally and ar- 
 tistically beautiful and 
 most comfortable to live 
 in for whatever may be 
 
 the length of 
 
 time of the 
 
 guest s visit. The veranda on the front 
 
 or south side of the hotel is a source 
 
 of never-ending delight. Spacious and roomy, the 
 
 rustic chairs and comfortable rockers are in constant 
 
 use by visitors from early morning until late at night. 
 
 bhaded by gorgeous wistaria, rose and other climbing 
 
 bushes, it faces the well kept lawn, and just below, yet 
 
 near enough so that every play can be closely followed. 
 
 are the tennis courts ; beyond is the valley with its 
 
 orange groves running well up the sides of the foothills 
 
 making a picture impossible to describe. 
 
 Grounds, hotel, equipment, and scenery, all contri- 
 bute to the comfort and pleasure of guests.

 '7Ae lobby at once appeals to tbe 
 guest witb its roomy expanse and 
 cozy corners of home-like comfort. 
 Tnu floor being constructed of 
 solid granite tbe lobby is always 
 a cool and refreshing spot even on 
 tbe warmest days. It is very ligbt 
 and airy, baving windows almost 
 without number. 
 
 Two hundred feet long by sixty 
 wide, it runs the entire width of 
 the hotel, with the exception of 
 the west wing where the dining 
 room is located. Big. comfortable 
 leather chairs invite one to relax 
 in their restful depths, while long 
 reading tables offer a variety of books and maga- 
 zines for one s enjoyment. 
 
 One corner of the lobby is given over to pool 
 and billiard tables and apparatus for other games, 
 the use of which is free to guests for their amuse- 
 ment and diversion. 
 
 Writing desks and all conveniences for corre- 
 spondence are at hand in another section of the 
 lobby. 
 Huge and picturesque fire places are found at 
 the end and along one side of the lobby, affording 
 cheer and comfort, and prove the inspiration for 
 many a pleasant and ever-to-be-remembercd story- 
 telling gathering on winter evenings. 
 
 'Ini hot mineral waters and pure cold spring 
 water are always on hand in tbe lobby for drinking 
 purposes, when one does not feel inclined to take the 
 short stroll to the pergola near the hotel, to which 
 these waters arc piped and run direct from the 
 springs by gravity, or the longer walk to the springs 
 themselves. They arc kept in Thermos bottles to 
 preserve the correct temperature at which they 
 should be taken. Indeed, no slightest convenience or 
 comfort of the guest is overlooked in this homelike 
 hotel. His merest wish is anticipated, and amid 
 these restful surroundings, the guest of a few hours 
 at Arrowhead finds himscll forgetting he is in a hotel 
 — so complete are his comfort and enjoyments.

 The ground floor of the hotel is taken up with the office, lohhy, dining 
 room, and consultation room of the medical director. A hroad, picturesque stair- 
 way leads up to the second floor landing in a lounging and rest room which is 
 practically in the center of the hotel. This room is furnished in the most com- 
 fortable and cheerful manner and is a favorite place in the afternoon and early 
 evening for those social gatherings of the women folks, from which men 
 excluded hut which are so dear to the heart of all memhers of the female 
 
 Light rattan chairs of different sizes, leather chairs, rockers — all of the 
 greatest ease invite you to enjoy the benefit of repose and rest; and for those 
 who prefer to lie down and thoroughly relax, massive leather couches are found 
 in every nook and comer. In the center of the 
 long tahle on which is always found a large basket 
 of heautiful and fragrant flowers, adding a still 
 greater charm and home-like atmosphere to this 
 cheerful room. 
 
 Opening off from this lounging room are two 
 wide halls which extend to each end of the huilding, 
 and these halls in turn open off into sub-halls which 
 lead to the different wings of the hotel. Each of 
 these halls and sub-halls end in a small balcony 
 where one or two may find a shady and secluded 
 seat to enjoy the fine mountain air and beautiful 
 scenery in perfect privacy if he so desires. 
 
 The arrangement of the third floor is 
 similar to that of the second — the same wide 
 halls -with the same charming balconies, but in- 
 stead of the lounging room there 
 is a rotunda from which you 
 look down on the lounging room 
 below. This rotunda extends 
 to the roof, affording ventila- 
 tion, adding materially to airi- 
 ness and comfort of both floors.

 Many, very many people are (Jiving the mat-

 did you ever stop to consider what that means ? 
 Probably you have read something scientific about 
 calories, starches, fats, albuminoids, etc. But 
 what is proper food ? Divest the answer of all 
 scientific terms and it resolves itself into animal 
 or vegetable matter which u alive or which has 
 not started to decay, and by just the distance it 
 has proceeded along the road to decay by that 
 much is it unfitted for human food. 'The farther 
 we get from the sou the more complicated does

 however, this is no problem at all, because all the 
 vegetables arc grown right on the grounds, the 
 eggs come from the company s chicken ranch, the 
 milk from the company s dairy — in fact, almost 
 everything comes fresh from the farm to the tabic.

The appeal of out-door life is so strong at Ar- 
 rowhead that most of the guests spend their waking 
 hourt in healthful out-door exercise of some kind, and 
 the mountain air is such a helpful draught that no one 
 experiences any difficulty in getting the best of rest 
 every night. This ability to sleep well is greatly aided 
 and augmented by the inviting and attractive character 
 of the rooms. All rooms are outside rooms with plenty 
 or windows, and from each -window a picture of sur- 
 passing beauty is presented. The decorations are all in 
 soft delicate tints which naturally tend to restfulness 
 and repose. 
 
 The furnishings of each room are of woods 
 selected to match the decorations, so that the whole 
 harmonizes in the most perfect manner and, far from 
 offending good taste, really constitute a joy and delight 
 to the most artistic temperament. 
 
 The beds and bedding are the best, -with linens 
 and coverings, spotless in their cleanliness, and so soft to 
 the touch as to actually soothe one to sleep and insure

 a most pleasant temporary home for -whatever time

 In tact, no pains have been spared by the man- 
 agement to make the hotel most perfect in 
 all its appointments. 
 
The Medical Value of Thermal Waters 
 
 TH E USE of thermal sprint's U a part or the history of every civilized nation. Bathing was a 
 sacreJ rite among the Egyptians, ana washing in the Jordan, or in pools and springs, was made a 
 religious duty by the Israelites. Tnt Greeks took their summer outings at tne sulphur spring 
 icanic origin on tne island of Euboea. 'The Romans were famous for the luxury and magnificence 
 of their bathing establishments, called Thermae • hot K 
 
 Some of the methods of treating diseases by thermal waters in use to-day, have come down to us 
 from the tamous physicians of the past, such as the Greek Hippocrates I 300 B. C. >. called the Father 
 of Medicine. 
 
 For hundreds of years the noted bathing localities of England, France and Germany have been 
 visited by thousands seeking the benefits which can only be obtained at the right kind of hot mineral 
 springs. 
 
 In this country, Saratoga, N. Y., French Lick Spring?, Ind., Hot Springs, Ark., and Arrow- 
 head, Calitornia, annually attract those who hope for renewed health from the use of the waters and 
 the stimulus of pleasant surroundings. When the springs at Arrowhead are as well known as the fa- 
 mous spas of Europe and the older resorts in America, they will stand first in the list for the healing 
 properties or their waters. 1 hey arc the hottest and most curative in the world. 
 
 J. K. Haywood, Chief of Miscellaneous Division. Bureau of Chemistry for the United States 
 Government, in his official report on the Hot Springs of Arkansas, speaking of the medical value of 
 thermal waters, says: 'The curative effects of thermal waters arc undoubtedly due, to a large extent, 
 
 to their stimulating effects on the excretory organs of the skin and the kidneys. To fully understand 
 this we have only to examine the routine through which a patient passes at these thermal resorts. The 
 pores are first thoroughly opened and sweating begun by immersing the patient in hot water for from 3 
 to 10 minutes. The patient u then placed in the steaming room for about 5 minutes, and at the same time 
 drinks copiously of hot water. This treatment, of course, produces a profuse perspiration. After this 
 the patient is wrapped in blankets and passed on to a warm room for from 20 to 30 minutes, where the 
 perspiration runs off in streams. After this the patient is rubbed down and allowed to dress. A desire 
 to urinate soon comes. Thus we sec that the system is thoroughly flooded with water and washed out 
 each day. and that tissue changes take place with wonderful rapidity. It is no wonder then that uric 
 acid, syphilitic polSOB . other materials of disease, and mercurial and other metallic poisons are soon elim- 
 inated from the system. With such effects as these mentioned above, hot baths th.-n must be of value 
 in the treatment of rheumatism, gout, syphilis, neuralgia, etc. 
 
 Scientists agree that it is the hot water, charged with its natural gases and emanation-, which 
 produce the beneficial effect. This being true. Arrow head ranks first in the healing qualities of its 
 waters.

 Some idea of the intense heat of the Arrowhead water may be gathered from the fact that eggs 
 can be nicely boiled in the springs in from three to five minutes. 
 
 Hot -water baths produce an agreeable sense of comfort and well being, and are one of the most 
 powerful of all vital stimulants, exciting the function of all tissues, glands, nerves, nerve-centers, and the 
 like. Elevation of the temperature of the sweat glands and nerve structures heightens their activity. 
 Hot water accelerates the circulation of the blood, producing a rush of blood to the surface of the skin, 
 and an expansion of the blood in the blood vessels, causing profuse perspiration. Diseases caused by sup- 
 pressed perspiration and morbid organizations are benefitted by these baths. The stimulative effect pro- 
 duced by the high temperature of these 'waters often proves very beneficial in cases ot paralysis. 'Tne 
 application of heat to living cells increases the activity of their protoplasm, within physiological limits. 
 
 Mineral steam baths are recommended in obstinate chronic rheumatism, in exudations into mus- 
 cles and joints, in arthritis and sciatica, obesity, mercunalism, anaemia and chlorosis. 
 
Natural Steam Caves 
 
 INTO the bank or bluff on the east side

 for baths. 
 
 Rooms will be built from which will extend 
 covered arcades leading into the steam caves. 
 where the most effective Natural Steam Baths 
 will be administered. 
 
 These Natural Steam Caves arc really one 
 of the wonders of the world. 
 
 Nature s Own Steam Rooms 
 
 THe water from the hot springs is carried into the 
 steam rooms of the house by gravity alone and 
 supplies steam for the steam baths without any arti- 
 ficial heat whatever being used: thereby retaining all the 
 medicinal virtues of the water direct from Mother Earth, 
 the aim being to conserve all of the force of its radio-ac- 
 tivity. adding greatly to its curative power. 
 
 'I he bath house, spotless and water-proof throughout 
 in asbestos tiling and white enamel, has a capacity of 400

 guests to disrobe in their apartments and 
 pass through to the baths in their bath- 
 robes. 'The water-proof finish of the

Analysis 
 
 NOW as to the saline or mineral contents or the water, it may surprise some to rind that this 
 consideration was not given first rank. Tne thing that does the work is the hot water charged 
 with its natural gases and emanations, and it is an axiom among hot springs physicians that no 
 ideal -water should contain enough salts or minerals to interfere with its consumption in large quantities 
 daily. Any water which contains enough salts to upset the stomach or irritate the howels when taken 
 freely is a water of very limited usefulness. It may he very beneficial to a few carefully selected cases, 
 hut it is worthless for the greater numher, and for many positively harmful. 
 
 borne experts have even gone so far as to lay down the paradox, ike less salts, the better min- 
 eral water. 
 
 Not that these saline elements are a master of indifference; rar from it. Xhey are present in all 
 natural waters from any considerable depth, and give hy their mere physical presence the peculiar prop- 
 erties referred to of saline solutions and ionization. 
 
 Moreover, it is well to have them alkaline and of such character as to be gently stimulant to the 
 bowels, kidneys and skin, largely by their alkalizing and antacid properties. 
 
 This is the property of the salts in the Arrowhead waters, the chief being sodium sulphate (42 
 grains to the gallon), sodium chloride (8 grains), sodium carbonate (1 grain), with smaller amounts of 
 the corresponding magnesium, potassium and lithium salts. 
 
 lhe following analysis of the waters at Arrowhead Hot Springs was made by Gilbert Ellis 
 Bailey, Professor of Geology, University of Southern California; formerly Professor Analytical 
 Chemistry, State University of Nebraska; Professor in State School of Mines of S. Dakota; former 
 Geologist of Wyoming; formerly Field Assistant California State Mining Bureau, etc., etc.

Mud Batns 
 
 FOR thousands of years mud batns nave teen used as a curative agent. Scientific Therapeutic 
 History takes us back to 400 B. C, and tells us or the not springs and mud baths used by the old 
 Romans for the cure of disease — for many, many years mud baths -were used in a crude way. 
 Both in Europe and America they were little understood. Over one hundred years ago the Arrow- 
 head Springs and mud baths were used by the Indians and the Spanish, who came here for the cure of 
 disease. What is there about these hot mud baths curing Rheumatism- and other diseases — is it any 
 ■wonder people wanted to know about them ? For many years Arrowhead Mud Baths have been espe- 
 cially noted for their curative properties. Letters of inquiry are daily received from all parts of the 
 United States. In response to this general inquiry and growing interest, we here explain what Mud 
 Baths are and why they cure Rheumatism, Paralysis, Gouty Affections, Neurasthenia, Eczema, Liver, 
 Ridney and Bladder Troubles. 
 
 The mud bath is in a class by itself. Separate and distinct from all other kinds of baths. No 
 other baths have the same curative effect. It relieves you of pain — all of that sore excruciating pain in 
 swollen joints and stiffened limbs yields to its soothing influence. No other form of bath or treatment 
 is so effectual ; in effect there is an acceleration of pulse, and increase of blood pressure in proportion 
 to the density of the mud, an acceleration of respiratory frequency, and an augmentation of cutaneous 
 elimination of urea, or uric acid. 
 
 The query often comes to us— WHAT IS THIS MUD ? 
 
 No, it is not an ordinary mud; it is a soft, yielding, turfy soil, consisting of decomposed rock 
 that has for ages been -washed from the mountain side, and decomposed vegetable maffer that has come 
 into constant and intimate contact with the hot mineral waters for a long period of time. Often esti- 
 mated by leading scientists at thousands of years, and, in consequence, has undergone chemical changes. 
 
 In its Chemical Composition we find Calcium Borate, Iron Carbonate, Lithium Chloride, Mag- 
 nesia Silicate, Potassium Sulphate, Sodium Sulphate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Carbonate ; besides there 
 are present other rare elements, chief of -which are Radio-Active Substances. This peculiar form of 
 mud is found (according to Prof. Wilhelm Wintermitz of Vienna, Austria, a noted authority on Hy- 
 drotherapy) in but few places in the United States, he mentions but five in his -work of recent date, in 
 which he places Arrowhead first on the list. This is a -worthy and most important tribute to Arrow- 
 head. We therefore, and with reason, claim that Arrowhead stands pre-eminently a long way ahead 
 as to the curative properties of its mud baths. 
 
 Where does this mud get its heat ? It is natural, being Nature s production. Coming from the 
 hot waters of the Palm Spring, its heat is generated thousands of feet below the earth s surface. Tht 
 chemical nature of this health-restoring mud comes from the chemically charged hot waters, that con- 
 
stantly permeate it, these not waters take on their chemical nature from minerals with which they come 
 in contact on their way to the earths surface from the great depth from which they come, in other 
 word-. Ir.im Nature s chemical laboratory. JJlt intense heat to which mil water is suhject. together 
 with its chemical properties, renders it thoroughly antiseptic. This antiseptic water constantly permeat- 
 ing the mud renders that also antiseptic, making it purifying and healing to a wonderful degree: alio 
 making it at all times a uniform and homogeneous material which is an absolutely clean, antiscptic.illy 
 pure mud. 
 
 Mud haths nave now heen reduced to a practical and scientific basis, and are thus administered at 
 Arrowhead. 
 
 How do they act curatively. As they have a high specific gravity, some portions of the waters 
 of the mud pass through the skin, and the mineral content! are taken up by the blood and fluids of the 
 body, as may he shown by testing the blood and urine after and before taking the bath. A mud bath 
 can be borne at a higher temperature than one of water on account of its low conducting power of 
 heat; this aids in the absorption of the saline mineral constituents, and volatile gases. It is not only 
 the high temperature I 110° to 120" 1 '. ' of the mud, but its weight as well, that gives the mud pack its 
 beneficial effect in such affections as enlargement of liver, or in joint affections or Rheumatic, Gouty. 
 Syphilitic or Strumous Origin. 
 
Our patient taking the mud bath gets the mud precisely in every 
 particular as it comes from Nature's reservoir; we positively add no 
 medicinal substance or other material of any description whatever, and 
 this mud is used hut once. Now, with your permission, -we will de- 
 scribe to you how it is given. Remember, you get no artificial heat 
 whatever. From the "Cienega" or mud bed and vats steam is con- 
 stantly rising, generated by the hot springs surrounding and permeat- 
 ing the "Cienega." From here the mud is taken to the bath house 200 
 feet distant and placed in receptacles ready for use, and is always hot. 
 The mud is spread on a canvass lounge or cot : the patients then place 
 themselves on the mud bed; afiendant then covers them wholly or par- 
 tially, as the case may demand. The ends of the canvass from each 
 side are then brought over the covering of hot mud, thus enclosing the 
 patient in a solid mud pack; the degree of heat being about 110° F. 
 While the patient is taking the pack, cold cloths are placed on head 
 and cold drinks given, if desirable; the patient usually remains in 
 the bath about 15 minutes. When time is up, the canvass 
 is removed and the mud peeled off : in this short time the 
 pores of the skin have opened, the impurities come 
 pouring out -with the perspiration; the elimination 
 being marvelous — induced by the heat and chemical 
 action of the mud and water. The patient then goes 
 under a warm shower ; from there to the 
 warm tub, then back to the hot shower, 
 which is gradually cooled to the proper 
 degree. The patient is then rubbed dry 
 and placed on a cot in the cooling room, 
 where he can take a quiet snooze for half 
 an hour before dressing.

The diseases and morbid conditions for the relief of which the Arrowhead waters and surround- 
 ings are best adapted are: Rheumatism, especially the chronic form ; Gout and the uric acid and lithi- 
 mic group ; Dyspepsia and most chronic disturbances of digestion, whether gastric or intestinal ; Con- 
 gestions and cirrhosis of the liver; incipient gallstone formation ; the early stages of heart disease; incipient 
 Bright s disease and acute forms of nephritis generally, as well as disturbances of the bladder, and urine 
 and prostatic conditions ; Neurasthenia, neuralgias and many forms of neuritis are usually much benefitted. 
 Paralysis and paresis, together with locomotor ataxia and sclerosis, are often given relief from pain, 
 stiffness and inco-ordination, amounting at times to marked permanent improvement. 
 
 The pure mountain air and altitude are very helpful to asthma and asthmatic conditions, many 
 cases being permanently improved and even entirely relieved. The irritating pollen and dust which induce 
 hay fever are entirely absent from the air, so that the paroxysms are much diminished in severity and 
 often completely relieved. 
 
 The air and waters combined are natural tonics for all conditions attended by failure of nutrition 
 and appetite, especially in children and the aged, for the over-worked and over-worried, and fo 
 valescents recovering from surgical operations or exhausting illness.

 For the healing powers of the waters and the beneficial effects of the baths Arrowhead 
 is not surpassed anywhere on earth, and in addition it is a most delightful spot for rest and recreation — 
 the ideal place for the afflicted to regain their health and for the well to store up energy and strength for 
 the days to come. A visit, however long or short, will be a constant delight while it lasts and will ever 
 be preserved in memory as one of the most pleasant experiences of a lifetime. No printed word or pic- 
 tured story can do justice to the beauty and charm of Arrowhead. If the feeble attempt at description 
 
 and illustration in this booklet has aroused in you a desire to visit Arrowhead we can only say, come, 
 
 and the reality -will surpass this presentation as the brightness of the noonday sun outshines the pale glory 
 of the moon.
