THE N0RRL8FOWE LNFIRMARY

|
Dr. w. J. Heacker has added a new
drug store to his Infirmary which en-
braces a variety of the purest and most
costly drugs to be found in the world.
This, in a word, now completes the In
| Urinary aud makes it second to no insti-
| tuition of the kind in the State or even
South. The building is large and COM
modious, two-story structure of attractive
design, situated on Main street in the
eastern portion of town and formerly
was owned and occupied by Mr.. John
Brown as family residence. The In
| Urinary comprises seven large rooms,
each having its own especial uses. The
| parlor, or ladies' reception room, is ele-
gantly furnished with everything at
tractiye to the eye or taste; it has a
handsome piano with all the latest music
of the day; beautiful pictures decorate
the walls; large and handsome stereo-
scope with variety of views from all
parts of the world also adds much to
the pleasure of the room and never tires
one looking at them. The Doctor is
provided with the latest and most ap-
proved batteries fer Galvanic, Faradic
and Franklinic Electricity; with vapor
baths, electric baths, hot and cold water
baths; medicated, shower and ordinary
baths. He has also obtained at large
expense the machinery for carrying on
the Equalizer or Vacuum Treatment,
which has so successfully allieviated
chronic, coagestive, rheumatic and 9th
er forms of disease. His office is thor
oughly provided with all the latest and
most reliable requirements for the cure
of chronic diseases and the successful
treatment Of diseases peculiar to females.
And Is also prepared to give his atten-
ton to difficult surgical operations and
the treatment of all obscure diseases
and ailments of long standing. Doctor
Heacker has spared neither pains nor
expense in fitting up his Infirmary here
and in obtaining the purest and most re-
liable medicines and the most approved
appliances for the satisfactory treatment
Of all diseases coming under his hands;
he therefore proposes to prosecute the
legitimate practice of Medicine and
Surgery, and will endeavOr by faithful
and careful attention to business, to
merit the confidence of this community
and vicinity.
1t is indeed astonishing to our people to
witness the great army of afflicted crea-
lures who daily throng the Office of and
go to the Infrmary to obtain relief.
They come from far and near-represent
every character of disease-and seem
bent on being cured. 1t presents sad
but truthful fact which was never be-
fore known to our citizens-that the
field of affection in our little county of
Hamblen and adjoining sections is larger
than was ever before saw or heard of.
But if DR.. Heacker continues the good
fight that he has commenced against
these old chronic and aggravated cases,
he will soon thin them out in a seien-
tific manner and leave but few if any to
be grumbled at by those bearing them.
He has already made his power feltupon
many and they generally yield to his
science. In connection with the Infrm-
airy is Mineral Hill Sanitarium, of
which he is sole proprietor. This noted |
institution of health and pleasure needs |
no commentator at our hands. 1t is |
situated ten miles north of this place, at |
the base of Clinch mountain, in the sa-
lubrious and almost never-dying Bean
Station Valley The Sanitarium has
been refurnished and remodeled and can
now accommodate two hundred or more
guests 1t embraces a variety of waters
which for their excellent medicinal
properties are unsurpassed in the South.
Invalids from abroad can come to this
quiet and healthful place and receive
the best attention and medical care to
be had in the land. DR.. Heacker viii
visit the Sanitarium each week and as
often as his services may be required by
inValids who place themselves under his
treatment.
