A WONDERFUL INSTITUTION.
For tho c=re of Consumption.

The work of the Ballard Pulmonary Sanatorium at Pasadena, Cal. is not at an experimental stage. The treatment has proven so absolutely 2 success that only those question its merits who know nothing of its results and of the cures effected.
 Dr. Ballard says that he lays its great success to the fact that during the nine years since he himself was cured of tuberculosis (which time he has devoted to the treatment of this disease exclusively he has investigated every remedy and appliance that has been exploited, and instead Of doSged- ly cinging to his own special treat ment. has utilized everything which proved at all efficacious in the rpbuilCi- ing of these patiertG. The result Is the most complete system for the treatment of tuberculosis in this coun- try.
 Tn response to the suggestion that climate brought about the cures. pr. Ballard responded that an equab,e cli- mate enables the patient to live cut of doors and take exercise in the open air, which is most helpful. but that TO competent physician now contends that climate kills the bacilli. and that unless the germ is destroyed the 20. tient is not well, no matter how well he may appear.
 By climate the system can be 90 for tified that as long as the patient re- mains in the locality in which the cure was effected, he will ba to all intents and purposes well. but the bacilli is not destroyed, only incapsulated: that is, surrounded by nature with a bsrrie- so that it can do no harm. When the patient. therefore, returns to his for rer environments, the first slight cold or congestion which settles on his lungs places him in condition for the baciln to again propagate. and then the patient is in a worse condition than be- fore, as the second attack firds him with less reserve vitality to combat the disease. This is the history Of g per cent of the so-called climatic cures.
 Now, when a patient is dismissed from our institution as cured. this means that the bacilli is destroyed. It is accomplished in this way:
 In the first place. our table io -un- piled with the best that the market affords. and is adapted especially to the uDbuilding of the patients. In CT der that We may do it justice. we en- courage an out-of-docr life and plenty of exercise, and We avoid any effort to reach the lungs by way of the stomach. We place the patient in the best con- dition that is possible by seeing that al the functions of the body are work ing properly, and then we proceed to administer our curative agents in sev- eral ways.
 First, by creating in the lungs an at mosphere in which the germ carrot live, by means of inhalation constantly of medicnted air composed of the hydro-carbons of the phenol group. We also build up the general system by means of physical culture and increase the development of the lungs by ser- les of lung gymnastics, which clears up the infiltrations and opens up tho unused air cells.
 In suitable cases the pneumatic cati- net is used, and also both electric and solar ultra violet or ectinic rays
 Then with Dr. Ballard's mod .fication of Koch's Tuberculin, which we admin ister every other day Gin selectel cases), we soon get the system into such condition that it throws off tn ? bacilli and tiie whole circulatory and respiratory systems being steriliZed, the bacilli cannot again find lodgment.
 Every night and morning each pa tent has his nos- and throat sprayeJ ] in order to prevent any infect ion in those parts, and to do away with any catarrhal difficulties or sore throat Any complications are taken care of as soon as they appear, so that all the forces of the body may be concentrated l upon the upbuilding of the lungs.
 our Sanetorium is homelika and pleasant, and cLr patients having the combination of all these different ad- vantages can certainly recover their health here if anywhere. Write fo-' free Illustrated booklet.
