THE PLACE WHERE III PEOPLE GET WELL
Alma Sanitarium has earned an endur-
ing popularity throughout the country,
and especially with the hundreds of
people who have taken treatment there
and been benifitted by It's healing powers
The Alma Sanitarium Company has
made some radical changes as to owner
ship and improvements in management
Or. Raymond Custer Turck, Of Chicago
H., has been appointed Medical Superin-
tendent and Business Manager.
Dr. Turck has been eminenuy success
full in his chosen profession, and has
earned an enviable reputation both as a
physician and surgeon in Chicago and
neighboring cities
Dr. Turcks professional standing and
executive ability should command the re-
spect and confidence of both the medical
profession and the general public, and
we believe that the association of Dr.
Turck with THE Alma" insures for il a
standing and efficiency of service unsur-
passed by any similar institution in this
country.
While the management has always
aimed to have verything in and about
the institution in perfect state of repair,
il is the intention of the company to rem
ovate the institution from top to bottom,
add new furniture and furnishings, espe-
cially increasing the remedial apparatus,
and to provide a well-equipped and strict
ly up-to-date operating room.
Dr. Turck has made a special study of
Detetics and this particular department
will be given even greater attention than
heretofore. By reason of DR. Turck's
special training in Surgery and Diseases
of Women particular attention will also
be given TO such cases.
