SOUTH DAKOTA HOT SPRINGS.

The United States Sending- Its Sick Soldiers There to Be Cured. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that the United States Government is sending many of its sick soldiers to the Hot Springs ia South Dakota—especially the chronic cases, for treatment. The Burlington Route has an increasing traffic for Hot Springs, South Dakota, as the efficacy of the waters become more generally known. Dr. Jennings, the physician in charge of the detail of soldiers from Fort Leavenworth, in his third weekly report of the progress of the veterans gives instances of cures that seem almost miraculous. Some have already gone home cured, others are ready to go, ana from the rapid manner in which the Others are regaining health they will all soon be able to go home cured. The following is condensed from the report: Joseph F. Knipe, chronic rheumatism: steady'iujprovemen L Ira D. Chamberlin, chronic rheumatism, neuritis of the anterior crural; steady improvement. Thomas Concanon, hemorrhoids, chronic rheumatism; steady improvement. About well. T. W. Jones, general rheumatism and heart weakness; steady improvement. E. F. Kingsland, general muscular rheumatism; steady improvement. Rosella Randall, sciatica, mental derangement, neurithenia; improvement in general condition. John Walsh, chronic rheumatism, heart disease; improvement. P. Hudson, hemiplegia, mialgia, articular rheumatism; steady improvement A. Loogacrea, locomotor ataxia; some improvement. A. Mueller, arthritis deformans, chronic rheumatism, general cystitis; slight improvement. D. B. Derby, general paralysis; much improved. C. 8. Gifford,,diabotes; improved. M. Shea, arthritis deformans, hemorrhoids, chromo constipation; slight improvement. John Mahoney, chronic rheumatism, weak heart, spinal irritation, sciatica, and chronic cystitis. Fast improvement. Henry De Wolf, chronic rheumatism, hemorrhoids, chronic diarrhea; improvement, sent home well. Clark Eldridge, spinal irritation, neurlsthenia, irritable heart, very weak, chronic constipation; general improvement. Andrew J. Arnett, locomotor ataxia, rheumatism in shoulders, blind; no improvement, incurable, sent home. Erl N. Nichols, heart disease, chronic rheumatism, lumbago, cystitis; improved; almost well. P. Somers, chronic rheumatism; articulate; improved, almost well. James Hanson, chronic rheumatism, constipation; steady improvement, almost well. Henry De Wolf and Andrew J. Arnett have been sent home, over the Burlington Route, for the following reasons: Andrew J. Arnett, incurable; locomotor ataxia, blind. Henry D. Wolf as cured and to caro for Arnett. All the men are doing well, and those that were not expected to get any relief on account of age, shattered constitution and in-cu-able conditions are, I am pleased to say, benefited and feeling much better than when they came here, With the exception of the case returned, Andrew J. Arnett. The bathing at the Catholicon has been stopped on account of the long distance from the home, and the effects or such change are already apparent. The best route to the South Dakota llo.t Springs is via the Burlington Route, which reaches all points in the Black Hills.—Burlington Hawk Eye. These are the nights when the man who is covered with glory has over him all that is necessary to keep him warm.—Buffalo Courier.
