DR.. KELLOGG IN BUSINESS
EARLY SUCCESS OF THE EXPERI-
MENTAL SANITARIJrM.
Methods of the New Institution-Sci
entitic Treatment-Erai in the Adap-
tation of Island Climate.

DR.. Kellogg and his interesting fam
lily, consisting of his wife and little
daughter, have comfortably estab-
lished themselves in the Fernandez
residence beyond Thomas Square on
King street, and have there laid the
ground work for a santarium in Ho-
nolulu. The Doctor had not intended
starting business until he could get
more permanently located but he has
found it eXpedient to branch out in O
small way. However, the contingen-
cy has had the advantage of taking
the scheme into the experimental
stage and proving the field.
In casting about for location for
a permanent institution several build
ings and sites were considered. One,
for building plan, was, of course,
the slope of Waianae range, beauti-
full, pleasant and healthful locality
truly. A second was a Waikiki, where
the best bathing facilities would have
been closest at hand. The third plan
was to purchase the Spreckels man
sion at Punahou, or, in lieu of this,
the Spreckels property at Waikiki.
Unfortunately, however, neither of
these properties were available. It
may be that further negotiations later
another Waikiki site.
With applications for treatment and
an eagerness to be at work DR.. Ker
logg, few days ago, began taxing pa
tients. Since then he has found it nee
essary to set apart and fit up three
rooms in his residence for the accom-
mediation of the ailing already on his
hands. Two trained nurses brought
from America assist i'm he work.
Aside from this patients visit the in

DR.. Kellogg said last night that he
was much pleased at the prospects,
pleased with Honolulu, the people and
the climate. He feels that the latter
is just such as will attract the affiict-
ed, particularly from the frozen North
during the Winter months. Patrons
of the institutions in the States have
already promised to come here as soon
as the local sanitarium is in full work.

The system employed by the KeI-
| loggs is almost too well known to ad-
nit of extensive comment. No quack-
cry or Especial" remedies are EN-
ployed. They present no panaceas, no
secret remedies and guarantee no
cures. The aim is merely to gather
together under the most favorable cir
cumstances possible all the most APP
proved means and appliances recog-
nized in the legitimate practice of
medicine, and to utilize these in the
most intelligent manner possible
\ pivotal principle with the Kellogg
institutions is that "health-getting IS
not a matter of magic or of pll-swal-
lowing; neither, in most cases, one of
climate, but rather a matter of train
and morbid activities in various bod
lily organs are argude as a principal
cause of shattered health. a training
of the abnormal vital functions is en-
ployed as the correct means for re-
instating normal and healthful activ-
ity. To accomplish this a system of
rules and principles as will modify the
vital proce sses are laid down. OF
course morbid conditions are correct

means can be employed 20 advantage;
but where this leaves OFF. the Kelloggs
argue, there still remains n work
which is too often neglected.
