Early History HE earliest white settlement on the Clinton River was located half a mile west of the city limits of Mount Clemens, and later became the town of Frederick. It was established by the Moravian missionaries in the year 1782. The last of the original Moravians was Richard Connor, who lived at the settlement until his death, April 17, 1808. The site of the present city of Mount Clemens, which was founded by Judge Christian Clemens in 1795, later absorbed all the other settlements in the vicinity on account of its ideal location for a city and also on account of being at the head of navigation on the Clinton River. It was first platted in 1818, and on January 15 of that year. Gov- ernor Cass laid out the county of Macomb and established Mount Clemens as its seat of justice. Mount Clemens' Famous Mineral Waters These curative waters are secured from deep wells, though they are frequently referred to as springs. They range in depth from 800 to 1,300 feet. The first well was drilled in 1865. Several well-known citizens took thermal salt baths from improvised bath tubs, and very remarkable cures were effected in cases of eczema, neuralgia and rheumatism. The first was Dorr Kellogg. Dr. Abner Hayward was one of the pioneer physicians in recognizing the virtues of the water as a healing agency with its great medicinal properties, but little progress was made until 1S73, when Dr. Henry Taylor, Sr., and his son. Dr. Henry Taylor, Jr., and Mr. E. W. Lewis formed a company to build a bath house and exploit the mineral waters. The company was called the Mineral Springs Company. They erected the Original Bath House and Avery Hotel, being the first to supply the demand for baths MAY 26 1916 ^?° with accommodations for invalid visitors. This Company issued a booklet at that time, called "Mount Clemens' Mineral Springs." for the purpose of inducing health seekers to come to Mount Clemens. It contained, among other general information, perhaps the first analysis ever made of these mineral waters, by Prof. S. P. Duffield. In connection with the analysis, which appeared in the Phila- delphia Medical and Surgical Reporter. Dr. Duflield says in part : "This water belongs to the sulphurious or hepatic class. It also has a large amount of mineral salts. It will be valuable for all bathing purposes, affording the bather the combined influence of salt and sulphur both. The water shows the presence of magnetism or electricity, which positively exists in large quantities." For twenty years after the first bath house was built. Mount Clemens' growth as a health resort was slow, but showed an increased number of visitors each year. In 1S93 this Guide was first issued for the purpose of exploiting this resort, and has been issued annually for the past twenty- three years. During that time 502,000 copies have been dis- tributed, to induce health seekers to visit Mount Clemens. The publishers modestly claim some part of the credit for the wonderful growth of this resort during the past twenty years, which has resulted in the erection of some of the world's greatest bathing establishments and hotels during that time, and Mount Clemens taking rank zcith America's greatest health resorts. (Editor's Note.— The claim of Prof. S. P. Duffield. that the waters of iVIount Clemens show the presence of magnetism or electricity, as noted above, should strengthen the claim of a local physician, who has made tests of the water which show the pres- ence of radium in its gaseous form. I would suggest that steps be taken by the bathing interests to secure some noted chemist, under the direction of the U. S. Government, to test the waters to find if thev are "Radio-.4cthe." If it is true that these waters contain this rare element, it will in a large measure explain the tlierapeutic value of the Mount Clemens' baths, so strikingly demonstrated at this resort. This question should be determined, nd. if true, made known to ^e »-rir1^] ] CI.A43yi58 This Bepresents tbe Mineral Salts Contained in One Mount Clemens Bath. (63 Gallons of Mineral Water.) The World-Famous Mineral Baths The mineral baths of Mount Clemens have been proved conclusively to be the strongest in use. from the fact that the mineral salts contained in one Mount Clemens bath (sixty-five gallons of water) weigh one hundred and twenty-five pounds, five and three-fourths ounces (125 pounds. 5'''i ounces), as determined by John Meyers, chem- ist. Their efficiency in the treatment of all forms of rheu- matism is without a superior. The baths at Mount Clemens are administered with much care and attention. Engagements are made at the office of the bath house for the exact time the invalid de- sires to bathe. No attendant is allowed to treat more th^n one person at a time. The time allowed for each bath is iisuailv one-half hour. Fifteen minutes is the average time oc- cupied in the bath tub, and following the bath, a thorough drying and rubbing is administered, after which sufficient time is spent m the cooling room to reduce the beat of the body to its normal condition as nearly as possible before the invalid is allowed to venture out of doors. All danger of taking cold is guarded against by this important precaution. No invalid should take a hot bath in these mineral waters without first consulting a resident physician. Medical and physical e.xamina- tion of the invalid before bathing, unless his condition is well known, is imperative. No two cases are exactly alike, and there- fore the baths and medical treatment should vary accordingly, under competent medical supervision. These mineral waters are very potent for good if properly and intelligently applied, but dangerous when used recklessly. Diseases and Diseased Conditions Amenable to the Mount Clemens Bath Treatment In enumerating the list of diseased conditions amen- able to the bath treatment, let it be distinctly understood that the extent or degree of relief or the permanency of cure cannot be predicted in advance, as in the use of any remedy it will, first and last, be a matter of individual reaction in any given case. Diseases Due to Faulty Metabolism. — Gout and Rheu- matism, Diabetes Mellitus, Obesity. Diseases of Heart and Blood Vessels. Diseases of the Nerz'ous ^w/fm.— Neuritis, Neuras- thenia, Neuralgia, Locomotor .Ataxia, Hysteria, Epilepsy. Chorea Minor, Paralysis Agitans, Migraine, Occupation Neuroses.

All-the-Y ear-Round Resort Mount Clemens has long been looked upon as a sum- mer resort only, but of late years the improvements made in the best hotels and bathing houses by steam heating, etc., have made the houses so comfortable tliat baths are given in the coldest weather, and with proper and prudent precaution on the part of bathers, without the least danger of taking cold. The degree of heat is equalized all over these houses, and even in the passageways connecting the hotels with the Clementine, Olympia, Fountain and Are- thusa Bath Houses, the same degree of heat is maintained by steam radiators. Thus the baths are given in tiie most severe and disagreeable weather as well as in the most pleasant season of the year. It is claimed by many that cures are more readily obtained in winter than at any other sea- son, because the invalids make a business of getting well, remain indoors, take better cai-e of themselves and bathe regularly. Therefore. many cases of rheumatism are cured in winter in a short time that pos!;ibly would not be cured at all if the invalid did not do his part toward recovery. It is true that this place has only been con- sidered a health resort, and as such has become justly noted, and it will always attract the larg- est number because its mineral waters and the baths cure so many of the ills afflicting the- human family. .>\dded to the great variety of sports and amusements offered, is the fact that the opportunities for pleasure are numerous in and about Mount Clemens, and the citizens cater to the fancies of all classes. This makes Mount Qemens a very desirable "Health and Pleasure Resort all the vcar round." Expenses at Mount Clemens The expenses are lower at Mount Clemens than at any other noted health resort in the United States. The following items of expense will enable anyone contemplating a visit to this place to approximate all his necessary outlay: Monthly Expenses Board, per month $24.00 to $100.00 Raths (15 to 30) 7.50 to 15.00 Attendant (according to liberality of bather, regular fee 25c per bath) 3.75 to 15.00 Physician 10.00 to 25.00 Medicine 1.75 to 10.00 Totals $47.00 to $165.00 Photo by W'm.

It was built along the latest and best lines of modern bath house construo- tion. The bath rooms are constructed of solid Tennessee marble: the floors are of tile and the joints are rounded the same as in modern hospitals. The entire buildins; and fixtures are of such a character as t" insure absolute cleanliness and the most hygienic conditions. The building is three stories high, of Colonial arcliitecture. The two upper fioor.s are devoted to furnished rooms, and the entire first floor to the bathing department. The main lobby and the parlors are finished in Mission oak and arc both large and ele- gantly furnished. Both the ladies' and gentlemen's bathing departments include cooling rooms and cot rooms ; in fact. everything has been provided to add to the comforts of the bather. The Arethusa employs attendants who are highly proficient in their work and gen- tle with patients. The Baths of .'\rethusa is located on South Gratiot Avenue, most convenient to the many hotels and boarding houses, and just half a block from the interurban wait- ing room. The name .Arethusa is taken from Gre- cian mythology, and refers to the nymph Arethusa, who, pursued by a river god. .'\lpheus, called upon Diana for help and Interior of Batb Boom, Batbs of Arethusa. 21 4^p ! i Lobby and OfSce of the Baths of Axethusa. 22 was changed into a fountain. Arethtisa plunged into an abyss and passed through the earth and came out on an island in the har- bor of Syracuse, Sicily. The fountain, now salt, much loved for its wondrous medicinal properties, still flows. The grateful Sicilians, to commemorate its beneficent services, placed on one of their coins a head of the nymph Arethusa. The wonderful mineral waters of Mount Clemens, Mich., warrant the belief that the nymph has repeated her flight, and to show our gratitude we have named Gentlemen's Parlor, Baths of Arethusa. Ladies' Parlor, Baths of Arethusa. them "The Baths of Arethusa." Our waters are not pure; they are the most highly mineralized waters in use; and while some, on account of the extreme depth, contain a little more sodium (common salt) than others, they all contain the same curative qual- ities. In order to accommodate a limited number of our patrons who desire to be convenient to the bath, we have provided exclusive furnished rooms on the two floors above the parlor. Steam heat, hot and cold running water, stationary wash-stands, etc., are in- cluded, while they are most elegantly furnished. For further information write — THE ARETHUSA COMPANY. \Vm. Lehner.

Meldrum, Proprietors. 24 The Fountain Bath Hoase This large establishment has recently made very im- portant improvements, including solid porcelain tubs, tile and mosaic floors, marble wainscoting and partitions, mak- ing the interior look like an entirely new house. It is the second largest in the city, and one of the largest in the United States, having fifty bath rooms, four cooling rooms, ladies' and gentlemen's parlors, physicians' offices and a rotunda or general reception room over twenty feet wide, fifty-six feet long, and with a ceiling twenty-four feet high. In the construction of the Fountain, especial atten- tion was given to ventilation, a very important item in a bath house. The Fountain Bath House also contains seventy private cooling rooms, which assures perfect privacy to bathers. Extra large rooms and bath tubs are provided for those so badly crippled and deformed that it would be difficult or impossible to bathe in an ordinary tub or be conveniently handled in a small bath room. All the various kinds of baths administered at this resort can be had at the Fountain. A gymnasium is provided for all patrons. An extensive steam laundry is also provided for the thorough washing of bath robes, etc. The mineral water supplying this bath house is obtained from one of the deepest wells in the city, and is situated just back of the bath house and under the tall tower, but this building is entirely separate. The price of baths is the same as at all the houses, being 50 cents for mineral water, 25 cents for mineral foot-bath, and 75 cents for mineral vapor. Fresh-water bath, 25 cents. Attendant's fee, 25 cents extra. The Fountain Bath House is connected with the Clifton House, on same block, by an enclosed passageway, and also witli the Fountain Hotel and the Crystal. The passageways are heated by steam, well lighted, and the return to the hotel after the bath can be made without exposure or danger of taking cold.

The building faces Gratiot, as beautiful an avenue as any city in the land can boast. There are two entrances besides the one to the bath house off this street. The Medea Bath House The justly celebrated Medea is one of the pioneers of Michigan mineral waters. It is strongly impregnated with salt and sulphur, standing first among the noted saline- sulphur springs of the world. In calcic and magnesia chlorides it is remarkably rich, rendering the Medea baths Office, Parlor and Hallway to Batbiug Department. 29 exceptionally valuable in the treatment of rheumatism and skin diseases. The bath departments are fitted throughout with solid porcelain tubs of large size. The bath rooms are partitioned with white Italian marble and floored with vitreous tiling, thus affording the very highest degree of beauty and sanitation obtainable. The bathing departments are separated from the general waiting rooms, parlors and cooling rooms by a transverse hall, and con- tain 150 bath rooms with a daily capacity of over 1,500 baths. For each bath room there is a dressing and cooling room, where patients are afforded privacy and where an undisturbed and re- freshing rest after bathing may be enjoyed. Medea was a favorite goddess in mythical lore, symbolizing the Dawn. Her virtues have been lauded by modern poets because of her mysterious power in restoring to rheumatic old /Eson the bloom and activity of youth.

The Park Hotel and Bath House, Showing Their Private Grounds (Margaretha Park) in the Foreground. 36 The Park Hotel and Bath House The first impression of a hotel is the one that lingers. When you put your foot over the threshold of a hostelry where the dominating thought is the guests' comfort, you can't mistake it. It's a part of the place. There is a homelike easiness and modern hotel luxuriousness very pleasingly combined at the Park. You are known by name here and not by number, and still your e.xclusiveness is as secure as in a one-room cabin on the top of Pike's Peak. If you arc a mi.xer. you'll find friends to your liking. The whole house is lu.xuriously but tastefully furnished. The public rooms have that restful air about them that makes you want to "linger and wait." The bed chambers, with all the modern aids to comfort, simply wrap you up in their comforting arms and hold you there. You will be impressed with the reasonableness of the hotel rates. The table is the very best the market affords, and is served in abundance, this hostelry being noted for its excellent cuisine. The location of the Park is ideal, being situated on East Street (No. 65), one block from the Clinton River. This space has been converted into a beautiful park, with shrubbery, trees, flowers and fountains. A boat landing has been constructed at the river's edge, and arbors and colonnades at the river front. The grounds are the private property of the Park Hotel, and are open to the guests of that hotel. They are a monument to the memory of the noble woman wliose conception they were. Mrs. Margaretha Kieffer. and so named in her honor (Margaretha Park). The Park Hotel was constructed with a view to both comfort and convenience. Its splendid lobby and corridors and wide verandas afford delightful promenades. Many of the rooms are en suite, with private bath rooms, afford- ing the guest every comfort and luxury. The interurban cars pass the door to Detroit and any part of the city, while the hotel is in easy walking distance of the business district. The proprietors, Messrs. Kieffer and McArthur, have had many years' experience in the hotel business. The Park Hotel is one of the oldest and most popular hotels at this famous resort. New additions Iiave been added from time to time to- meet the demands of increasing business, until today it is one of the largest and best-known resort hotels in this country. The rates are from $3.50 and up per day. according to room and location. J7 The Park Bath House The Park Bath House is under the same roof as the hotel, which makes it very convenient for the guest to take the Mineral Baths without exposing himself to the danger of taking cold. The owner, Mr, George Kieffer, has personal supervision over this department. His long experience has made him deservedly popular with its patrons and the steady increase in business is largely due to his untiring efforts to see that his many patrons receive the best attention from his crew of attendants, who have had years of experience in the administration of the famous Mineral Baths, and who look after the every want of the bather. The Park Bath House is one of the finest bathing in- stitutions in the country, having marble floors, partitions and wainscoting, and private cooling rooms, and the latest and most convenient arrangements, offered only in the most modern bathing establishments. Every luxury Nero dreamed of is to be found here. It is far more scientific and modern in its appointments than most of the cele- brated baths of the Old World. The price of the baths is moderate : 75 cents for a vapor bath, 50 cents for a hot mineral bath, with a fee of 25 cents for the attendant. There are many eminent physicians and skilled trained nurses in Mount Clemens. The mineral water of Mount Clemens is twice as rich in valuable mineral substances as Nauheim water, four times as rich as Carlsbad and forty times as rich as the famous sulphur springs of Ai.x-les- Bains! The Park Bath House Mineral Water We claim for the Park mineral water superior efhcacj', and we do this without seeking to detract from the ac- knowledged merits of other waters.

Mr. John R. Murphy last year added two stories above the Clementine Bath House, mak- ing three stories above the bath house proper. The con- struction was carried out with a view to the very latest modern hotel equipments. The rooms are large and all outside exposure, most of them having private toilet, and all having stationary wash-stands, hot and cold running water, steam heat, telephone service and electric lights. The ventilation and lighting is perfect. The center of the building forms a hollow square, giving each floor a large reception hall, with skylight above and openings below to the ground floor, affording perfect ventilation and light to the entire hotel. The hotel is equipped with passenger elevator, so the guest may have every convenience, both to the hotel and the Clementine Bath House. Mr. George C. Fenton, who for many years conducted the hotel of that name ne.xt to the Clementine Bath House, has leased the three upper floors or the hotel department and his many years of experience in this line are a guar- anty of continued success. Mr. Fenton has not spared ex- pense in furnishing the hotel, everythmg bemg selected with the idea of providing comfort for his guests. The beds are mostly of Circassian walnut and oak, and the box springs especially manufactured of extra strength, while the mattresses are of the finest hair construction. The carpets and rugs throughout are the best, and all fur- nishings are of the latest. The Fenton is conducted on the European plan, while a cafe is operated on the second floor for the accommoda- tion of guests and outside patrons as well. The cuisine is excellent and popular prices prevail. Panacea water is served all guests as well as patrons of the cafe. The office and parlor are located on the ground floor, also the long- distance telephone service and news and cigar stand. The rates are reasonable when the service and accommo- dations are considered. Guests of the Fenton will find that plenty of amusements are provided, such as musicales and dancing in the auspicious office and parlors of the Clementine Bath House and Fenton Hotel. For further information address — THE FENTON HOTEL, George C. FE\T0>f, Proprietor. 43 The Wappner This family hotel was erected and opened to the public in 1908, and is therefore one of our newest hotels. It was well built and contains all the latest improvements, including hot and cold running water in each room, and bath rooms for both ladies and gentlemen on all floors. The sleep- ing rooms are of good size and very nicely furnished; the front and corner rooms are especially fine. The illustrations on the next page give a good idea of the style of the interior arrangement of the house. The center cut of the group shows the office and hall leading to the dining room, and the stair- way leading to the upper floors. The reading and writing room is to the left of the office and the ladies' parlor on the right. The building of the Baths of Arethusa next door, with a similar front, has given this popular family hotel a great ad- vantage, equal that of the large hotels having bath houses under the same roof; and a convenience fully appreciated by all guests. The connection to the bath house is from the second story, covered and protected; in fact, just like passing from one room or a hall to another. The rates range from $14 to $21 per week, according to the location of rooms. Special rates for winter. For further information address — THE WAPPNER.

The Glenwood is located next door to the Olympia Bath House and is connected with it by a steam-heated passageway, so that guests of this house are not exposed to the outside air when taking their bath. This is a great convenience, as it lessens the liability to taking cold. You merely put on your bath robe in your room and go in direct to your bath and return to cool off in your own room instead of the bath house. This is a great advan- tage in the winter months. The Front Porch of the Glenwood. The location of the Glenwood is a most ideal one, being on the corner of Cass and North avenues, just two short blocks from the heart of the city.
