Lovers of rural scenes and rural enjoyments, find this place unsurpassed in natural beauty and advantages of any of the popular resorts for pleasure seekers, who find their enjoyment in escaping from the round of fashionable life or the din of the city, and rush of care. The waters of these Springs have been proven beyond question to be possessed of most wonderful healing properties, and many diseases that have l ong baffled the skill of the medical practitioner have been cured by the aid of these powerful waters and the skill of Dr. Hannah Pettigrew.

This "Health Home" has all the requirements for comfort and rest; pure and cool in summer, in winter protected from the invasion of cold by a steady temperature of heat that radiates a glow of genuine comfort,while here and there are potted plants that bloom in nooks and corners, and exude their fragrance born of summer time gladness. The table always so inviting, has the best of well cooked food for the invalid, and none are debarred from choice wines if used with proper and judicious care.

Separate from the main building or home, in a fine bath house near the spring, and also a pavilion for dancing parties where all the requisites for social Terpscorean amusements are furnished. There is also another building with pleasant sleeping rooms for the accommodation of any who may wish to visit the place for a short time and enjoy the delightful shade of Woodlawn, to rusticate and tone up the nervous system that is often over taxed with the excitement of business, or wearied iwth the treadmill monotony of daily life.

There is no place in all my wanderings around the world of change (and they embrace a wide scope) which I have visited where one can come more in harmony with poetical Nature, or commune with the soul of beauty and love, than at Woodlawn. The great artist has found expression of beauty in leaf and bud, pebble and ripple of the laughing brook, whose low song is the sweet lullaby to the grasses that adorn its banks and listen to the melody that breathes of other streams under other skies that will join it on its way to the great ocean of wates. The feathered songsters that bathe in its pure bomos sing sweeter and seem to praise God more joyfully at Woodlawn.

When the grand old trees that have stood sentinel so long over their beloved Woodlawn, shall don their new spring suits, and the more tender ones are still in their swaddling clothes and the song of the birds in their glad joy for this new birth is heard in the land, and the tender verdure whispers to the sleeping flowers, the interest of the place then is to the studen sublime.
