Says Glad Visitor Who Is Cured
at Marlin.
-----
Three weeks ago a gentleman by the name of Mr. Chambers came to Marlin on a
stretcher, afflicted with one of the most critical cases of rheumatism, that has
ever come under the observation of one of the most prominent physicians in the
city.
The rapid and marvelous cure of this
gentleman only goes to prove that Marlin's water is the greatest on earth for
rheumatism. Mr. Chambers left Monday for his in San Augustine. He is
undoubtedly the happiest man the reporter has seen for a long time. He remarked
to some of his Marlin friends: "Well, my folks at won't know me; I have
been keeping them posted about my improvement, but when I jump off the train at
San Augustine they will be a surprised lot. This water is the greatest on
earth. When they put me on a litter and shipped me here, I did not expect
to ever see them again, but here I am, going well and I am going to come back
often and whenever I see or hear of a person afflicted with rheumatism I will go
a radius of 100 miles to tell him or her of Marlin's water." Just then the
train pulled up to the station, and Mr. Chambers boarded it to return a well and
happy man.
