The buildings of the Owosso Sani-
tarium are fast approaching a condition
which shows the thoroughness of the
plans made by the proprietors and
which prove beyond a doubt that in
few more weeks Owosso will have
sanitarium of which no city of her size
need be ashamed.
The location of the sanitarium, as
every Owossoite we'll knows, is pictur-
esque and pleasant, the buildings, nest
ling as they do in natural grove on a
hill in the southern part of the city and
overlooking both its busy factories and
its charming residence portions as well,
while the buildings themselves have
been completely modernized in every
detail of the equipment.
The bath house has been entirely re-
built on the inside. The Office occupies
the front room in the northeast corner
of the building while Immediately be-
hind it is the lounging or cooling room
for men and back of it the mems bath
tubs, six in number. On the west side
of the house are similarly arranged
bath rooms for women. On the back
end of the building on either side is a
small room designed for treatment with
live steam. The arrangements for CIV
ing Turkish baths and massage treat
ment are complete, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Dreidoppel who have been at the
St.Louis sanitarium and are we'll known
to number of Owosso people who have
taken treatment there, have been en-
gagged to take charge of this feature
of the sanitarium's work. They are ex.
perts in the administering of medicinal
and curative baths and as the water is
everywhere recognized to be without
any superior for many ailments the
popularity of the baths must seem as.
sured. The tubs are all of fine porce-
lain and the plumbing is first class
throughout The water is heated by a
new forty horse power boiler which
furnishes steam to special heater
within the building. A steam pump
with capacity of 1000 gallons an hour
will be installed in few days.
The large brick building has received
no less thorough treatment. In the
matter of lighting alone no small ex-
pense has been incurred. The large
dining room, occupying the entire width
of the building in the central part of the
first floor, is artistically wired for
seventy lights and this building
alone is wired for three hundred lights.
The large roomy Office in the front of
the building overlooking the city is
finely finished and elegantly papered
and promises to be one of the pleas
ATTEST retreats possible to secure. Up
stairs there are two large rooms in the
front while there are over a dozen
others all newly finished and antisepti-
cally treated, all with high ceilings and
abundant light A fine bath room is
also provided In this part of the sani.
