This page is primarily a **hotel advertisement** for the Hotel Chamberlin in Virginia, promoting it as an American alternative to European health spas. The ad argues that wealthy Americans needn't travel abroad to "take the cure"—a popular medical tourism practice involving mineral baths and treatments at famous European spas (Aix, Vichy, Karlsbad). The Chamberlin, located at Old Point Comfort between North and South, claims to replicate these treatments using radioactive saline water from 900 feet underground, while offering luxury hotel amenities. The **"Foreign Humor"** section features three satirical jokes mocking European life: a British servant afraid to deliver laundry during wartime for fear of military conscription; a Czech woman so constrained by fashionable tight clothing she cannot walk, stand, or sit; and a Parisian policeman recommending one bring one's automobile into a café for safekeeping. These jokes mock European social rigidity, fashion extremes, and urban theft. The page also includes ads for photoplay writing courses and cigars.

When advised by your Physician to take “THE CURE” abroad, you do not begin to think about Sanatoriums or Hospitals, nor antici- pate a disagreeable experience. Rather, you picture visions of up-to- date Hotels, interesting surroundings, unusual and celebrated people, and agreeable out-of-door diversions. To take “THE CURE” means all these, and also, certain Baths and Treatments, the Drinking of Medicinal Waters and Systematic, Out- of-door Exercise; none of which interferes with the pleasures of your outing. So ‘You make a delight of getting well.”’ Do not imagine that because of conditions in Europe, it is impossible to take “THE CURE.” There is just one place in America that combines all of these pleasurable features, together with the Treatments and Medicinal Waters. That place is Hotel Chamberlin, Old Point Comfort, one of the great Resort Hotels of America. Midway between the North and the South, it is climatically perfect the year-round. Its unique surroundings, by land and sea, give it the ‘‘something differ- ent’’ atmosphere. The Cuisine is celebrated the world over. And finally, the Treatments and Baths at The Chamberlin are the most scientifically administered in America. Every Treatment given at Aix, Vichy, Karlsbad, Nauheim or Harrogate is duplicated here under ideal conditions. The Chamberlin Saline Water, flowing from a depth of 900 feet is wonderfully effective in many Complaints due to the presence of uricacid. This water is highly Radio- active, which adds to its medicinal properties. Several interesting books telling of our Methods, describing the various Treatments and enumerating the Complaints we relieve, will gladly be sent on application. Address GEORGE F.
