About sixty of the latter of whom he will be able to accommodate. The Sulphur Spring House is about six miles from this city,
situated in the healthiest region of ST. Louis county, and within a few rods of the celebrated
Mineral Spring from which it bears its name, and which equals, no doubt, in medical qualities,
the White Sulphur of Saratoga Springs. The neighborhood abounds with excellent hunting grounds
and streams which afford excellent fishing. The invalid, he that would enjoy a rural retreat,
or the riding community, will all find in this establishment the realization of their desires.
