nostrum vendors and cbarlstans.
For the relief vi n few such. We consented 70
open our doors, and take few sufferers under
our immediate care, so that we could see that
our prescriptions were fully carried out Here
we can regulate the diet, ventilation, rest, bath
ing, recreation, mental, moral, physical and
medical treatment, and carefully adapt all, To-
each case under our care.
The observing Phys clan 10 aware ofthe salu
tary influence exerted, In many cases, by new
associations, new plans Of nursing, &c. lie Is
also aware OF the beneficial influence OF water,
" the temperature and mode Of application be
judiciously adapted To the stregth and condi.
tinn of the patient. But while we use water In
the various modes usually approved In estab.
lishmcnts exclusively hydropathc, we have not
lost sight Of the great benefit To be derived
from other remedial agents, both old and new,
provided they are skllfully adapted to the
wants Of the patient.
During the SIX years that this Institution has
been IN operation. IL has been demonstrated
! Disease can be much better brought into re
QUESTION IN such MI establishment. than Is pos
sible In home treatment, for IL II important thai

IN our opinion, will not be greatly benefited
we shall expect the sick and thcir friends to al
