ated as it is, upon something of an elevation, it commands a 
beautiful view to the south across the Kawriver. The build- 
ing contains fifty rooms, with 400 feet of verandas. It has 
steam heat, and is furnished with all modern conveniences. 
No special bath-houses are provided for using the spring water. 
The sanitarium is owned and managed by Dr. M. P. Sexton, 
and is at present devoted especially to the treatment of nervous 
and mental diseases. On account of the proximity of the sani- 
tarium to Kansas City, it affords a convenient suburban home 
where patients may be kept quiet, and away from the noise and 
bustle of the city. No attempt has been made to ship the 
water from Bonner Springs, although at some seasons of the 
year the quantity is ample for this purpose. ‘The analyses of 
seven of the springs, made in 1884, and published in bulletin 
of the United States Geological Survey No. 32, is as follows:
