 THE WORLDS EPILEPTIC IN IT.
 TUTE.
 While passing through St. Joseph, Mo-, and having heard great deal about the Worlds Epileptic Institute located here, concluded to pay the celebrated Insti- tuition a snort visit. We were met by Dr. Richmond, the proprietor, who has gain ed reputation as broad as the land. He is rather small, yet prepossessing man, of very affable and gentlemanly manners. He gave us hearty welcome, and took great pains in showing us through his palatial and mammoth institution. It is a av"-story building, 200x1SO feet, with basement, and contains over three hun dred rooms, and can accommodate five hundred patients, and each and every room is furnished in the most elegant and lavish manner. But we will begin at the office, which is large room fur nished with rosewood furniture through out. In the office are thousands of photographs of those who have been benefited by the Nervine. The walls aie elegantly papered. ana are pr0fusley decorated with rich and costly pictures,
 
 and bronze of eminent men of this and other countries. In connection with the Instistitute is a mammoth printing house and bin1ery, occupying six or seven large rooms, and a score of pressess are kept running night and day turning out work for the doctor. The office is one of the finest and most complete in the west, and he has the rooms decorated, carpeted and trimmed up with as much care and luxury as is his own private office. On the first floor of thIs mammoth building is the doctors private office, the printing department, bindery, tank room. packing and bottlng and consultation rooms. barber shop, drug store, etc, al of which are flted up regardless of ex- pense. TEr s cond floor has the hotel office, dining billiard and cooking rooms, many guests chambers and several par lors. The third and fourth floors a'e all rooms, all of which are furnished with Brussels carpets md the finest furniture The billiard room has six tables, all of which are free to the guests of the house and their friends. The b,th room Is large and neat, and is also free tO guests. The entire building is surrounded on the east and south by an elegant nve acre park, in which are lovely trees, beds of rich and rare plants, gravel walks and drives, delIcions arbors. and most beau tiful summer house. There are also a number of fountains that add wonderfully to the beauty of the park, which is truly one of the most lovely and attractive in the western country, and the Institute has no equal for luxury and comfort in the world. Everything is perfection, and the visitor is at once charmed with tEe entire place and its surroundings. An idea of the immensity of the doctors business may be given when we say that on the day we visiled the Institute he showed us to his express room, and we saw the congressman take goods labeled to the fc flowing places, to say nothing of hundreds of orders from all quarters of America; Lyons, France; Geneva, Swift zerla,.d: Madrid, Spain; Brussels, Bel gium; Cape Town. Africa; Shanghai, China; YOkohama, Japan; Bombay, In dia; Melbourne, Australia. The doctor employs hundreds of men and women in his Institute in the several branches, aside from the immense force required to conduct the hotel. It is worth visit, end Dr. Richmond extends to HI a cord ial invitation to come and see him. He and his wonderful medical discovery have given to St. Joseph a good name all over the habitable globe.
