Our Sanitarium.

The BANNER takes UNUSUAL
pride in stating that in the near
future there will be built a large
and commodious two-story addi-
ton to the Sanitarium, with ele-
vators, steam heating APP
paratus and all modern improve
ments needed for such an institu-
ton. This Sanitarium was es-
tablished in our midst some four
years ago by DR.. Beverly W..
Smith, the present surgeon in
charge, and the editor speaks
knowingly when he says that this
institution is the equal of any in
the State-for the treatment of all
ills and diseases after the most
approved, scientific and modern
medical methods. The Increased
business of this institution has
made it necessary for its enlarge
and nothing will be left
undone in the way suited for the
comfort of patients, and nothing
further in its equipment will be
spared to make it still better in
every respect. The rooms in the
new addition will be designed in
every way for the purposes inten-
led, elegantly furnished and pro-
vided with every necessary equip
nent. The present corps Of train
I'd nurses at this institution is I'M
by any similar institu-
ion in the country, and we feel
hat we cannot recommend the
Institution too highly. 1t can be
'egarded as great boon for our
title city and it ought to reap a
ve!l-merited and abundant sue
;ess.
