A PERMANENT INSTITUTION.
Some Facts Concerning Kansas City's
Greatest Sanitarium.

Among the permanent institutions
there are none the people of Kansas
City and vicinity take more interest
in than DR.. Goes Sanitarium, located
at the southwest corner OF Eleventh
and Walnut streets Indeed, this in
stitution has been so long established,
and is so we'll and .favorably known,
that its name has beconie a household
word in many families. - Thee science
of medicine and surgery has kept
even pace with the progress of
the age, and EACH yeag ana
day brings new remedies and new
methods of preventing and curing all
forms of disease. 1t was in keeping
with the progress of science that Dr.
Coe, conceived the idea of opening a
Sanitarium, where the sick and af-
flicted could have the advantage of a
private home while undergoing a
course of treatment of some disease or
deformity. A talk with DIR. Coe re-
vealed the fact that, notwithstanding
the hard times, the business of the
Sanitarium was greater in 1890. than
in any previous year. More patients
have been treated in the year just
gone out than in any year before
more surgical operations and more
cures in the year just gone out than
in any one before in the Sanitarium,
where numerical record of all cases
are kept, show history of every pa
tient, and in these books can be found
descriptions and diagnosis of every
form of disease and deformity.
Among the surgical cases during the
last year may be mentioned Mrs.
Della Swift of Norwood, Mo-, who
had an ovarian tumor removed, and
was restored to health and vigor.
Mrs Budworth of Saline county, Mo-,
who had carried her arm for years in
sling, suffering from tuberculosis
and dead bone, was operated upon by
DR. Coe at the Sanitarium, having the
dea bone removed and perfect health
restored Martin Motzkus of Ochle-
tree, Kan, had sarcoma, or cancer OF
the lower jaw; had doctored for years,
finally being given up as incurable by
his physicians. He came to the SAM
tarium on November II, 1886, and was
operated on by Dr. Coe, who removed
half the lower jaw. He has now re-
turned to his home with fair chance
of living many years. We might &C
on indefinitely enumerating many
such operations, but space will
not permit But before dropping the
subject we desire to mention the dis.
ease of club feet. In ordinary cases
of club feet, braces may be depended
upon to overcome the deformity, but
very often an operation is necessary,
and many cases will be found similar
to Willie Adams of Bethany, Mo-
whose feet were so bad some of the
bones of the instep had to be removed.
Dwight Kuchental of Cedar Junction
Kan, whose feet required q wedge
shaped piece to be removed before the
foot could be drawn into proper shape
If you have club-footed child
you can tell by feeling the
feet that the bones are large
and deformed, and that braces alone
would be the most barbarous and
painful treatment These operations
are not necessarily very painful, but
should not be neglected, as they pro-
duce such satisfactory result.
Another distressing deformity that
has been treated with an unusual de-
gree of success at the Sanitarium is
for the last number of years treated
this disease by means of suspension,
or spinal wagon, which proves OF
great assistance and relief TO the pa
tent while being used.
The principal object of this institu-
ton is to treat successfully any form
of disease that may come under its
direction. To this end its corps Of
physicians have been selected with
unusual care. They are mer
who have had years of successful
experience with all forms of disease
and deformities of the human frame,
and are eminently capable of combat.
ing the evil. Aside from the cases
mentioned in the fore part of this ar.
ticle, the Sanitarium has effected
cures in the removal of tumors, oper-
atoms for piles, the treatment of can.
Ger. catarrh, bronchitis, paralysis,
epilepsy, kidney complaint, bladder,
eye, ear, skin and blood diseases.
During it's existence the volume OF
there is hardly a disease which has
not been treated, ard that SO skilfully
as to restore the afflicted to health
We could go on for days talking of
the wonderful methods and cures per.
formed at this Sanitarium, so interest
ing becomes the question, and what
can more interest the reader when we
once consider, though we may be free
from the pain just now, it is only a
question of time when we will all be
looking for an institution of science
that is able to battle with disease, and
can give us more days and years of
good health.
This article appeared in the annual
write up of the Kansas City journal
in January, 1887, and is of itself one
of the strongest endorsements to be
had and it is indeed pleasure to be
identified in this manner by leading
journal of our city.
The X Ray Has Been Added.
This sanitarium has always been
supplied with every modern con-
venience for the cure of all
diseases and now is the first
to offer to the public and the afflicted
the advantage ofsthe X Ray.
The Medical Profession have always
agreed that proper diagnosis was es-
sential for every cure, and, that is the
reason DR.. Coe was SO quick to secure
this modern invention to his already
thoroughly equipped Sanitarium.
If you are sick and your disease has
baffled the skill of your Physicians,
come and be examined. DefOrmed
