Nothing Artificial in the "Dinncr

New York. May 14-Dr. Gallop. of
3erne, New York. has opened sanitari-
lm few miles from that place for the
treatment Of WORKOUT dinner gyers. His
patients are the wealthy leaders of so
ciety who have dined out so much that
nothing but ozone can digest their meals
The sanitarium of the doctor is very
similar to the hospital built by the late
DR.. Swinbourn, of Swinbourn Island. In
New York Harbor for the reception of
smallpox patients. The rooms have cur
tains instead of outside walls. Ordinarily
the curtains are lifted and the air blows
into the rooms The guests could walk
out into space were it not for a hand
rail. The house is all piazza on the first
floor, and presents the curious appearance
of being a house lifted up on legs, 1t Is
like a summer pavilion with rooms over
: head, and drinking place upon the ground
floor.
DR.. Galop's idea is to restore societys
tired-outs and make them fresh and
ready for the season at Newport.
AS is well known Ward McAllister's i'll
ness came through variety or rich foods
which he, after awhile, could not digest.
The Illness of Mrs. Paran Stevens came
about indirectly in the same way. Dur
ing the last twelve months the leaders Of
society have been taken off so alarmingiy
that there was a demand for cure that
would really be cure.
At present the Prince Of Wales Is at
Cannes taking the cure for indigestion
The Countess Of Essex and Lady VOL
verton, Lady Grey Edgerton and their
respective lords are taking the cure
with his royal highness. They go out
every day and Join him at dinner. And
in London there are three German doc
tors brought from Baden Baden to try
to cure the stomach troubles OF those
who entertain and are entertained for a
| living.
The sanitarium at Berne is in appoint
/ ments modelled after the one at the
outskirts Of Carlsbad, where Carmen
| sylvia went when she was so out of sorts
few years ago. Its principal feature
is that the dining room Is under the trees.
Every evening at o'clock there gather
under the leahng-out trees the inmates
| OF the sanitarium, the doctor occupying
the seat Of honor at the head of the
| table. They are a happy looking lot
not at all inValids On appearance, but
| they are worn out and recuperating Just
the same. When the sun dies away the
guests eat in darkness until the stars
come out.
Those who have visited tho Kelley
cures have been struck by the happy
faces OF the inmates. They have a so
cial life, much more exclusive than one
would suppose from the name Of the
place. They are a lot OF persons af-
hicted with a trouble which they are
going 10 try to get rid Of and, lncd-
dentally, they are trying to have a good
time. The sanitarium In ships That

inmates getting well by natural means.
