HIS HANDSOME and home-like house, thor- oughly modern in every detail, is locat- ed upon the pleasant and elevated site of the old, historic Springs House, near the world famed Stafford Mineral Spring, and, sur- rounded with a fine lawn, situated in the beautiful village of Stafford Springs, one of the most delightful inland summer resorts in New England. Stafford has a hotel such as few towns of the size, or much larger, possess. The sum- mer visitors can have first-class accommo- dations. The beauties of Stafford and its | 47 surroundings make it an ideal place to spend the summer months. There is no more beau- tiful scenery than that which surrounds Stafford Springs. All the various amuse- ments can be enjoyed here. There are well shaded croquet grounds and tennis court, bordering on a branch of the winding Willi- mantic river, separated by romantic bridges from the pretty village streets. Golf grounds are near by. During walks or drives here, so many streams and lakes are to be seen that one might truly say, “no clearer or di- winer waters ever sang with constant lips of 930 VIEW F1:OM SPRINGS II USE, LOOKING NORTH. the land which giveth rain from heaven.” The fishing in near by mountain streams and lakes, will interest those who seek a day's outing with rod and reel, while too much can not be said in favor of the beautiful drives leading to the various lakes in all directions. There are mountains more lofty, elsewhere in New Eng- land—there are rivers more broad and deep, and lakes of greater expanse, than are to be found in Stafford, or its vicinity; but whoever is in search of the picturesque, that charm which in natural scenery, most fully delights BIRD’s EYE WIEW OF PART OF STAFFORD SPRINGs. the eye, and is most long and lovingly re- membered,—may find it here.

The Stafford Mineral Spring Water is not a new discovery, nor does it depend upon any recent test to establish the valuable char- acter of its medicinal qualities. The Stafford Mineral Spring is, beyond venture, the Imost famous of the mineral springs of America in its history, and in the certainty of its cura- tive qualities. … - The medicinal properties of the Stafford Mineral Water were known even to the In- dians long before the coming of the white settlers. The historian Trumbull says that at the time of the settlement of Stafford by the English, the Indians were in the habit of --~~~~ resorting to the spring in great numbers during the summer months. They pitched their wigwams around the spring and re- mained for weeks to drink the water. The white settlers soon learned to highly value the mineral spring for its curative properties, and as early as 1750 resort was made to the spring by patients from other towns of the colony, and they also came from the neighboring colonies of Massachu- setts. . During the first quarter of the last, and the latter part of the previous century, no mineral spring in America was so widely patronized as was the Stafford Min- eral Spring. This is no * \ random statement, but an | A & assertion which is born º - out by the testimony of the º historians Trumbull, Bar- º ber, Peters and others. sº Benjamin Trumbull, writ- - --- ing in 1818, says: “As a º ºn ºf permanent tonic this water - is estimated superior to almost all others in Ameri- ca.” But the mineral wat- er proved to be more than a tonic, and arrangements - - tº ºx have been made for bot- THE OLD STAFFORD SPRINGS HOUSE. tling purposes, and it has been placed upon the mar- d - - - | | - - º wº - ~ x ~. - - º . º tº Fº E. -º-º: a º Tº º º º BOTTLING.

One of the most distin- guished of the patrons of the mineral spring in those early days was the states- man, and afterwards Presi- dent, John Adams. In July, 1775, he made a jour- ney on horse-back from his home in Quincy to the mineral spring, and re- mained for several days at the Springs House drinking the water and bathing in it. In his diary of July 5, 1775, Mr. Adams says, “Thirty people have been here to-day.” This water acts as a dºwr- condition.
