FOR FAIRMONl.
viii Open on
October First


Fatrmont - soon to have another
Institution Of which, it will have rea-
son to be proud and which will be
a blessing to the people and help
to the town. the Bishop PelIck
property "a Pike street has been
leased to a party Of gentlemen who
WIN take charge Of 1t on October first
and convert IT into Neurological
sanitaFium. THIS Institution will In
no way conflict with Fairnont's Other
medical institutions as its promoters
announce that only chronic diseases
will be treated and no surgical or
acute cases viii be accepted. 1t Will
have a field all to itself and will be
equipped with the latest and best ap-
paances for treatment under the Eeu-
rological systen. The famous Elec-
tric Light bath Will be Instituted and
the Hot Air apparatus treatment viii
be administered. 1t viii no doubt be
popular place for treatment from
the day of It's opening.
The men behind the movement are
we'll known ID the medical world
They are DR.. H. s. Yost and Dr.. T.
II Miller. Of Falrmont and DrAF. n.
Brown and F. "A. Brown. Of Parkers-
burg and Dr. Geo. R. Miller. Of Fair
view. The ssnltarium will be In
charge of Dr.. F. H. Brown. Of Par
kersburg, who will move to this city.
Drs. Yost and KILLER. of this city, and
Dr.. Miller, Of Fairview. will be con-
nected with the Institution as coun-
selIors and directors. DR.. T. H Nil.
Ter wiz have his ONCE az the sanItar-
ium.
These physicians are all well known
here and DR.. Brown. of Parkersburg
is specialist in chronic diseases who
comes with strong recommendations.
Perhaps a definition of Neurology
VIII aid our readers in understanding
the nature Of the sanitarium 10 be es-
tabIished. Neurology is the science
which treats Of the nervous system.
the two principal agencies Of life are
the nervous and the cireulatory sys-
.ems. These are also the only avenues
Of attack from disease. This system
is = system for the analysis Of the
cause of human, Ills. As a system
Neurology presumes nothing. It does
not treat by diagnosis because that
would be presumption. 1t recognizes
the fact which should be apparent To-
everyone that similar causes produce
different effects upon different Occa-
slons, or under different conditions,
hence the appearance or symptom in
one case is not even good for use
diagnostically In another case A
neuroIogist must take each case and
analyze it by comparison by its own
normal STANDARD, establishing those as
he proceeds according ub physical
and physiological laws.
The Bishop Penick property Is an
ideal location for the institution which
is to be established: The building is
large and commodious and the
grounds are beautiful and extensive.
While 1t is near the heart of the city
aud on a street car line, 1t is never
theless in quiet and somewhat Sc
GUIDED spot well suited to the purpos-
es of Sanitarium. We predict for
the new institution great success and
a hearty welcome into our city at
present the sanitarium will be able to
accommodate about fifteen patients
at a time, but plans for enlargement
are already under advisement.
