Catiicsbttrg is to have additional hos
pital service in the near future. Besides
the two modern hospitals, which are in
successful operation here, an up-to-datc
sanitarium Is shortly to DC established.
A real estate deal with that end in view
was consumniatcd Tuesday, when DR..
u. w. Showalter, of the Kesgler hospital
purchased property on the corner of West
Main and Water streets Of John /. Alex.
ander. Negotiations have been on for
some little time, but the deal was not
closed until Tuesday, when the trans.
fer was made. The consideration was
$4,000.
The property purchased has frontage
Of 100 feet and extends On the Water
street side a distance of about $50 feet
to an alley in the rear. There are two
two4story brick residences and frame
dwelling on it.
According TO the conveyance, possession
IS to be given January coming. at
(which time DR.. Showa!ter will take
charge OF it. The tenants, or al least
some of them, will be required to vacatc
at that time.
1t is DR.. Showaltcrs intention to es.
tablish@on the property a modern san.
itaium for women. This will be done
as soon as he gets possession OF the
property. The two brick residences
(which are spacious and ample for tenn
porary purposes, will be converted into a
sanitarium, with all the latest equip,
ments and appointments. Later the
buildings will be enlarged and another
erected, but the doctor has not fully
formulated his plans in this particular
and, therefore, an accurate description
Of the proposed institution can not be
given at this time. But ne states that
It will be most modern and thoroughly
in keeping with the times and the de.
nands.
Such an institution will be found quite
useful and beneficial, and its success
will doubtless be gratifying. Though
something now in the praUtice OF mcdi-
cine in CIarksburg, it will, without doubt
be largely Patronized and prove OF great
benefit.
DR.. Showalter has had much experience
in hospital work, as well as the practic,
OF his profession outside OF hospitals, an,
is eminently fitted to have charge q
such an institution. In addition To hi.
own, he will have the services of trained
nurses and other physicians, which vii
I guarantee greatest proficiency in th
treatment OF patients, And with sucI
conditions there is every reason TO be
licyc that the venture will be well re
wslricd
