A HEALTH RESORT. 
OFFICE OF MEDICAL DIRECTOR.

My dear Doctor: - 
Lay Vegas Hot Springs, N* M„, is a village devoted to the 
restoration of health. It Is more than a hospital, a sanatorium* or 
both* It is a place for the healthy as well as the sick; for recreation 
as well as for treatment. It is not a place for incurables, out for 
enjoyment, rest and recovery. The treatment ■ out of door** is made as 
.much a feature as the treatment within doors. 
Las Vegas Hot Springs has an altitude of 8,707 feet: a monthly 
precipitation, between June and September, of less than one inch; a 
mean annual temperature of 59c07; an average of 323 days of sunshine 
annually; and no sand storms * High hills form almost a complete circle 
around the grounds and buildings, thus protecting us from severe winds* 
Controlling fin extensive territory, there la freedom from noises and 
confusion of town and city life, end from dangers of contagion. The 
Gal1inas river runs through the property. With these unusual natural 
advantages, it is desired to link together every modern medioal 
convenience and appliance, so as to best combat such affections as are 
applicable to this locality. Those sent as patients will receive 
.individual instruction and direction in'regard to exercise, diet and 
all that concerns health, Monthly reports will be sent to the family 
physician, or consultant, who by this means will be kept closely in , 
contact with his patient, 
The buildings are ample, with steam heat and electric lights, 
and the grounds are sufficient, for recreation and amusement of every 
description* The wat era of our hot natural springs, the saline, sulphur 
and, lithife elements predominating ranging from a temperature of 110 
to almost boiling, flow into the bath house, natatorium and main 
resident building with ahsippi no loss of temperature, and are utilised 
in the treatment of diseases which will suggest themselves„ The peat 
from our peat bads in applied in the shape of batty* in- treating • 
diseases for which it ir. useful. 
, Our prices are moderate. Physicians who desire recreation 
or tremt&pnt will be received without medical charge. Tubercular cases, 
advanced in the third stage, are not desirable. The extreme care taken 
in regard to t&e destruction of sputum is such, we feel assured there 
is less possibility pf dontagion than in the streets and homes of 
populated centers, Patients should bring warm clothing for protection 
in open air treatment „ 
Las Vegas Hot Springs is six miles from Las v©g«y.i?, on cue 
Santa Pa route, and is connected by railroad with all through trains 
on that'line, 
Very respectfully, 
Will lam Curt las Bailey
