While passing through St. Joseph, and
having heard great deal about the Worlds
EpileptiC Institute located here, concluded
10 pay the celebrated institution short visit,
We were met by Dr. Richmond, the proprie-
tor, who has gained reputation as broad as

ing man, OF very afiable and gentlemanIy
manners. He gave us hearty welcome, and
took great pains in showing lis Though his

ment, and contains over three hundred
rooms, and can accommodate i've HUNDRED
patients, and each and every room Is fur
nished In the most elegantan lavish manner.
But we will begin az the office, which Is q
large room furnished with rosewood furni-
ture throughout. In the Office are thousands
OF photographs Of those who have been bene-
fitted by the NerVine. The walls are elegant
y papered, and are protusely decorated with
rich and costly pictures, relieved here and
there by busts In stone and bronze OF emf
nent hen OF this and other countries. In
connection with the Institute Is mammoth
printing house and bindery, occupying SIX
or seven large rooms, and score u presses
are kept running night and day turning out
work for the doctor. The office Is one OF the
finest and most complexion the West, and he
has the rooms decorated carpeted and
trimmed up With as much care aud luxury
as Is his own private office. On the first
