The Carlsbad of America at Little Lake Manitou

Doctors praise its curative properties for rheumatism skin diseases and blood and kidney disorders while Indians used primitive vapor baths.

Canada’s total population is projected to 5,000,000 with eight and a quarter million in the country excluding overseas.
