Few people realize that right here In Utah, we have one of the most wonderful bathing pools In the world. But those who are acquainted with these splendid baths will testify that the Sanitarium Baths, 52 West Third South, Salt Lake City, rank second to none, either In the delightful opportunity for a comfortable swim at any aeaBon of the year, or the highly beheflclal properties of the natural hot sulphur water. Not only Is bathing a pleasure under these conditions, but many people who have been grievously troubled with rheumatism or nervous disorders have actually experienced full recovery from a system of bathing at the Sanitarium. The Sanitarium Baths Invite you to come and bring your family and enjoy a swim In this wonderful water. The pools are emptied and cleaned twice every week and lady and gentlemen attendants as well as instructors make it a desirable place for you to bring your family, for catering to the better element is the secret of the highly desirable patronage enjoyed by the Sanitarium Baths. In connection with the large swimming pools, are conducted very fine Turkish Baths. Tub baths and private plunges are also an attraction to many, all going to produce a bathing resort equalled by few and surpassed by none. It's just another of Utah's natural wonders developed for the betterment of mankind. Adv. Economy. If You But 8mila.
