Compliments Of LOPEZ. The Great Hot Springs Remedy. Hot Springs, Arkansas: 1912. Full color pictorial folding postcard booklet compliments of the patent medicine company. Accompanied by a two-page handwritten letter from a man who visited a Hot Springs, Arkansas wellness hotel in 1913. The nine-panel folding postcard contains color images of different health and wellness resorts on one side and testimonials for Lopez Remedy on the verso. The special compound was said to cure you "at your home to stay cured. Positively contains no mercury or any other poison, made from the nine best known fluid extracts of herbs." The testimonials range from a woman who successfully treated her sugar diabetes with Lopez, to cures for everything from tuberculosis, rheumatism, and catarrh of the stomach. Mrs. M.M. Hathaway, who gives baths of various kinds in Wichita, Kansas, said that many of her customers took the Lopez Remedy and it worked. The hot springs pictured in the booklet include Arlington Hotel and Bath House, Diamond Joe Sanitarium, Rockafellow Hotel and Bath House, Lamar Bath House, and Palace Bath House. There are other images of the train station and city buildings. The handwritten letter accompanying the postcard is written on Lamar Hotel stationary. The writer notes he will "start on the baths this evening" after having a difficult experience traveling from Louisiana to Hot Springs. His train ran off the tracks and the passengers, who were not injured, were forced to walk half a mile to a new train. The letter is accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The postcard booklet is toned and worn along the outside wrapper; otherwise very good.
