n GRANITE STATE
HEALTH INSTITUTE +!
Hill. N. H.

The physician to the Granite State Health In
stitute desires to say to invads, that he has now
kept health establishment for dozen years,
during which time he has restored many hun
dreds of cases of the worst forms of chronic dis
ease to perfect health.
He uses no drugs nor poisons of any kind in
his treatment, but devotes himself to the devel
opment of the innate powers of the system it,
self, and cures disease by developing health and
strength in the organism. .ts
This mode is successful in thousands of cases
where the patient utterly fails by the drug pois-
oning mode.
Patients who come here for treatment no mat
ter how bad their disease, or how long they have
been Sick are, almost without single excep-
ton, greatly pleased with the result. We ap-
pend commentator from our last summers pa
tients, simply by way of showing the state of
feeling and sentiment which usually prevails
among the patients of the institute:
THE undersigned, at this date guests at the
Granite State Health Institute, Hill. N. H., take
pleasure in commencing this establish nent to
the attention of invalids throughout the country.
DIR. w. I VAIL the conductor Of the estab-
lishment, is gentleman of experience and skill,
having been educated to the medical profession
by LONG coure of personal suffering in early
life as well as by collegiate instruction, and HIS
now been the successful conductor OF an estab-
lshment for nearly dozen years. His reputa.
ton is growing, and his house for the present
:
and he has been obliged to lay under contribution
all the spare house room in the village. He con-
templates enlarging his establishment the COM
ing season, and greatly improving his convenient
ces.
"Invalids placing themselves under his direc-
ton will find themselves under the care of gen
tleman who has living faith in the system he
practices, and confidence that he understands
his business, who will look after his patients at
tentivey, prescribe for them with care, and re-
qulre of them somewhat mperatively that they
follow his Prescriptions.
"Mrs. E. NJ Vail has charge of the female de-
partment for which her qualifications admirably
fit her, and fills for the present the Office of fe.
male physician in the establishment with accept
ance.
The dietary arrangements of this establish
ment are of the first order. Miss s. Davis, the
intelligent and experienced lady who presides
over this department. thoroughly understands
the magic art of producing the most paatabe
dishes from the simplest materials, which con-
tributes in no small degree to tine good success of
the treatment administered here.
The vegetarian theory is adopted at this In.
stitute as the true theory ot'human dietetcs yet
meat is allowed two or three times week for
such as are not prepared to break off suddenly
from the use Of animal food and this course is
commended as being the wsest for many, espec-
tally for those somewhat advanced in life and

Lucy =. Wheeler-an old patlent-a iady gifted
with qualities winch eminehtiy III her Tor the
position. Herskill' GENIAL good nature and uni.
form Kindness VII not soon be forgotten by any
one who has been under her care.
The moral influences OF the establishment are
good. The Doctor is man VINO aims at nothing
short OF correct life, morally and spiritually as
we'll as physically. and this is the spirit and
tone which prevades the whole establishment.
There is morning exercise daily, which includes
a short lecture upon some medical, physical or
moral topic, reading the Scriptures, music and
prayer, which secures good attendance.
- Patients who are feeble and unable to walk
much for exercise are carried to ride each day
one mile and back. free OF expense, a feature
peculiar to this institution, so far as we know,
and, as we think, of much value to the patient
.. The arrangements of the house are all made
and carefully carried out for the benefit of the
sick; and believing this establishment affords
important facilities for the recovery of lost
health, with terms more moderate for value re-
ceived than most others of the kind, we think
we may be doing good service to the sick and
suffering of our race by recommending 1t to their
notice. ss.a t
