tricting
the food of the invalid when necessary, they also recognize the fact
that many are benefited by a liberal diet of the most substantial food,
as steaks, eggs, oysters, milk, and other very nutritious articles of
diet, which are always provided in abundance for those for whom they are
suited.

From previous experience somewhere, some people get the impression that
they are to be half starved at such an institution as this. If this is
the case anywhere it is not so here, as any one who has ever resided at
our sanitarium will attest.
TRAINED ATTENDANTS.
A sufficient number of trained and experienced nurses are employed, that
those requiring attendance may have the very best of care.
GOOD ORDER.
The institution is conducted in an orderly manner, that the utmost quiet
may be secured. The Faculty insist, upon the part of the invalid, while
under treatment, on the observance of habits of regularity in eating,

can they succeed in their course of remedial training, and make the
treatment curative.
AMUSEMENTS.
While insisting upon strict observance of rules established for the good
of the patient, they do not make their requirements so rigid as to
interfere with the comfort and enjoyment of their patients, but, on the
contrary, endeavor, in every manner possible, to provide innocent and
entertaining amusements for all, recognizing the great importance of
pleasant occupation of the mind, as an essential part of the treatment.
Hence the introduction of music, amusing games, light reading, and
kindred agencies for pleasant entertainment, is not neglected.

chosen field of practice gradually extended until, to-day, his fame and
that of the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel and Surgical
Institute, are simply world-wide. As the business increased those
eminent for skill have been induced to join the Faculty, until eighteen
professional gentlemen, each devoting his attention to a special branch
of practice, constitute the Medical and Surgical Staf
