A Sanitary Station at Dodge City.


Mrs. Schultz, of Whitewater, Wis.,, ac-
comranied by her daughter, stopped in
our city few days this week en- route
home from California, where she has
just completed arrangements for the con-
structiOn and establishing of large san
itarium to be operated in connection with
the establishment she represents.
This is an organization, rapidly de-
veloping into an important factor in
connection with the practice of medicine
and treatment and care of invalids. with
headquarters at Whitewater, Wis.,, where
the compOundiug works are located.
1t consists of system of instructions
whereby each household may properly
nurse and care for their own sick, and be
prepared for accidents which require
more prompt attention than could be had
by awaiting the arrival of physician.
Mrs. Shultz is highly cultured in the
classics as well as medical skill. Some
twenty years ago she was principal of
an acadamy where Mrs. w. b. Rhodes
attended, and the two ladies by
the merest accident CHANGED to meet and
recognize each other during her sojourn
in the city. She has several hundred
assistants throughout the middle states,
and SO. many rhumatic and consumptive
patients come under their care that it be-
came necessary to establish an infirmary
on the Pacific coast. In connection
Herewith it was found advisable to have
point some where in western Kansas.
The Santa Fee route has been selected as
the transcontinental route for patients
and assistants travelling back and forth
over the continent, the Whitewater in
stitutiOn having already used several
hundred round trip tickets. The loca
ton of the California SanitOrium will in
crease this travel an hundred fold
A list of suitable points had been made
to inspect, and on the return trip the
lady has been investigating with the
view to- having selection made for this
purpose.
A BE-REPUBLICAN scribe called
at her LOtel and found number of L.
dies of the city consulting her with a
view to having corps of workers ap-
pointed and trained in Older that they
may look after any patients who stop off,
and also instruct the matrOns of our city,
in those methods of caring for the sick
which Mrs. Shultz has been teaching for
the past twenty years. and by which she
has acquired handsome fortune.
The modest scribe felt somewhat
abashed at finding himself lone man
among parlOr full of ladies. but as he
had been invited to investigate On behalf
of Dodge City lady who was somewhat
interested in the work and desired his
opinion on the matter as 20 whether it
was worthy of making an effort to have
supply point and branch Office or sta
ton here, he boldly entered and was
duly presented to Mrs. Shultz.
She is above the average in size, quite
distinguished in appearance, about fifty
years of age, with iron gray hair, and re-
markably clear and healthy complexion.
We entered the hotel fully expecting
to meet humbug, but soon discovered
that this was not the kind of thing for a
charlatan. A short time sufficed to con-
vince us that the lady was better versed
in human ailments than most physicians,
and her plan of work commends itself to
good common sense as well as conforms
to the most advanced ideas of science.
The almost marvellous cures of cOnsump-
tives and rheumatic patients with the as
sistance of a peculiar bath in which pen
German compounds were used,
were apparently well authenticated, but
the wide scope of information and evil
dent culture of the lady together with
the fact that she can command almost
unlimited fluids for building sanitariums
and compromising medicines, was really
the most convincing of all.
There are twelve or thirteen different
kinds of proprietary medicines COM
pounded in the cOmpany's compromising
house in Wisconsin and they have just
begun to erect another building there at
! cost of fifteen thousand dollars. We
Are pleased to say supply house was es-
tablished in this city and arrangements
have been made with ladies to take
charge of the branch establishment. who
are now undergoing thorough training
Tor the work in order to instruct those
who shall be employed by the company
in this part of the state. This is certain
" step in tine direction of making
Dodge City an important health resort.
