Los Angeles herald., 1906-07-29
NEWSPAPER office is at all times

billions, plans for the future, etc, but
when short time ago there walked
into certain office in the city a man
Of medium stature who asked for the
managing editor. his strong personality
made II impossible for the "outer
guard" to refuse him, and after he had
gone a mantle man-the man who is
trained to never hear you-the man
aging editor appeared in his door and
after he had watched his late visitor
disappear turned and said: "There is a
truly wonderful man; he has just out
lined to me the greatest plan for the
relief of humanity that has ever
reached my ears Why, the man is a
verltable treasure house of knowledge,
and in a short time we are to have in
this city a Real Sanatorium conducted
not SO much on the lines of personal
profit as with an idea to do good in
the world"
Think what 1t means for man like
that to become Interested in the work
of an entire stranger-no. not an entire
stranger, for the fame of DR.. II. Rus
sell Burner Is known to every man of
affairs in this broad land; yes, and
across oceans is the name revered be-
cause of the wonderful work of the
man who bears 1t. A man who never
tires is always cheerful, and never SO
happy as when he is helping to make
the road of life easier for some other
not so fortunate as himself
And this is the man, one who has sat
at the tables of the worlds most dis
tinguished men, who enjoys the sweet
intimate friendship of the most learned,
in close touch with the most conserva-
tive men of millions" This, we say,
is the man who has come among us to
labor for the general good, and he does
not stop there, for having command OF
unlimited capital he will at the same
time put his shoulder to the wheel at
every turn to further the interests of
this, the worlds paradise.
So sure is this man of his ground and
so rapidly does he work out his plans
that within few days of his arrival
here he had secured long time leases
for $26, 900 worth of property on the cor
ner of East Fourth and St. Louis
streets, opposite Hollenback Park, one
of the most magnificent sites in the
country for sanatorium and health
home, as the permanent home of the
California Radium, Milk and Rest
Cure, which in the remarkably short
time of five days he has furnished COM
pletely; transferred by the aid of ten
city Red Cross ambulances all of his
patients from his former private sana
torium at the corner of South Grand
and Fifteenth street, and today this
new sanatorium at the corner of East
Fourth and st. Louis streets is well
filled with rapidly improving men and
women, whose condition but a few
weeks ago was almost without hope.
Realizing that in many cases the best
rrrlf zNa.. n
having disposed of many preliminary
matters, this most remarkable man be-
gan to look around for the ideal spot
nearby upon which to build the sana-
torium that shall stand as a monument
to the name of DR.. H. Russell Burner,
and here again the mans intensity of
purpose asserted itself, for within two
weeks of his arrival here his attorneys
were drawing contract for the pur-
chase of 200 acres of the most scenic,
slightly and beautiful site for the largest
sanatorium in the United States; and
the queerest thing of all to the COM
mercial world is that Prof. Burner
commands all the money he needs at
all times. He undertakes a deal not
only of tens of thousands and hum
dreds OF thousands of dollars, but OF
millions, with but a few dollars in the |
bank; but goes to the telegraph office !
and starts the magnetic influence, the
telegraph, and behold, kilograms be-
gin to arrive at certain banks instruct
ing them that there is on deposit to
their credit in Chicago, New York, |
London, Paris, Berlin and San Diego
any amount of capital that the pro-
fessor seems to need.
Thus 1t was yesterday, as can be
demonstrated and proven by not only
the words but affidavits of certain
bankers in this city. At least al
though the doctor wrote checks
amounting to over S76,000.OO. no check
was presented at his bank but what
was honored.
But the end was not yet, for in a
few days came the word that Prof
H. Russell Burner, M. D., through
his manager and attorneys had
closed with the ve-Pettebone COM
pany for the entire fourth floor of
the Forve-Pettebone building at 512 and
ola South Broadway, Sopposite the "Ex-
aminer' building, and which he is now
having fitted UP in the most elaborate
manner as his new Temple of Health
and POSTGRADUATE Medical College and
Training School for Nurses where Prof.
Burner will take up, on August 1, his
permanent headquarters for the Pacific
coast.
In this building he will have the
finest lecture hall in Southern Califor-
MIA, with fine stage and large seat
lHS cdpdclty TO be USED IN connection |
with his Temple of Health for the
Medical College and Training School for
Nurses, and where he will resume on
August his popular public and private,
scientific and interesting health lee
lures, which have attracted so much |
attention both in Europe and America.
Prof. Burner will have his permanent
downtown city Offices provided with the |
largest and finest anatomical collec- !
ton and the most expensive and COM |
pletely equipped medical offices in the
world. His Offices will contain the |
latest improved and most expensive |
scientific devices, instruments and ap-
pliances, chemical and electrical lab |
oratories in the United States, for the |
fullest possible Investigation examina-
ton and diagnosis of all long
standing, painful and chronic dis
eases of every name and nature, |
form and kind, that are in their |
nature durable, and in connection |
with his great skill and popularity as
an author, public lecturer and teacher, |
physician and surgeon, he is directly |
connected with the best Sanatoriums, |
Health Resorts, Medical Institutes, |
Medical Colleges, Universities and Col |
leges, both In Europe and America.
