THE ARIZONA MEDICAL AND
 SURGICAL SANITARlUM.
Equipped for the Same Method of Treatment as the Battle Creek, Michigan Ssnitarium.

An important factor In the growth of the city and one that Is oft times overlooked are the splendid institu- tions erected for the care of the sick and injured. The Arizona Sanitarium is contracted and operated along such modern lines that it will merit of considerable boasting when one starts to tell the newcomer or tourist of the superior advantage of the Capital city of Arizona. This now famous institu tion is admirably located at 5I5 North Center avenue, in the very heart of the choicest residence section, just far enough away from the hum of indus try to give it that perfect quiet es- sentia! for these places and the sensible, careful and practical methods employ ed in the institution in dealing with the sick and injured. have commended 1t as the most popular health resort in the Territory.
 The well known and matchless life giving climate of Arizona inspired the opening of the. institution just five years ago, and the history of the Sani- tarium from that date has been one
 
 century lines The most modern methods and appliances for the care and treatment of all classes of sickness except tubercular cases, which are not admitted) are to be found. Among the various forms of treatment are massage, manual Swedish movements, electricity in it's various forms. in cluding light baths. vibratory treat ment. and practically all forms of baths and packs used for the allevia- tion and cure of diseases.
 The Sanitarium also maintains a well equipped labratory for the care full study of pathological and phycho- logical processes, which greatly facilitates in the diagnosis of disease and in outlining the most effectual treatments. The electrical depart ment is fitted with the latest modern appliances and with their powerful static machine and x Ray outfit they are enabled to perform some remark fable cures. They have ample accom- modations for about forty patients, and the rooms throughout are furnish ed with modern cOnveniences while the light and ventilation are very fine as the building is unobstructed on all four sides, thus admitting of an abun- dance of air and sun light.
 Last fall they established a country branch of the Arizona Sanitarium five miles east of Phoenix on the s. P. railroad for tubercular cases wholly. The distance from the city irrigation moisture. and the high rolling ground of sandy soil coupled with their super for equipment, makes it one of the most ideal places of this character ever established for tubercular pat ients. The buildings consist of one fifteen room, one sixteen room house, and ten individual cottages. which on account of the large demand are in- adequate for they expect to add ten more cottages in the near future. Patients at this branch receive the same care and treatment as admfnist- cred by the parent house, and it is un- der the immediate supervision of Dr. J. M. Bond, Gather of the founder) who has given this particular dis ease careful study for years and is eminently fitted to fill the posi- tion. Two graduate nurses are also in attendance. A feature that no doubt is an important factor in the success of the institution is that the milk used is from their own dairy, and they also raise all the chickens. eggs and vegetables consumed and are now planting thirty acres to all kinds of fruits. These advantages coupled with the Battle Creek Sani- tarium's system of foods, which are served. place this branch in a class wholly by itself.
 The founder and guiding spirit of these institutions. pr. E. c. Bond, is native of California. where he grad uated from the California Medical College and later spent some time fin practical work in the St. Helena Sam itarium, at St. Helena. Cal. it being the largest branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium of world wide fame Since locating here, he has been rewarded with remarkable success in his treat ment of patients, and each succeeding year finds more people availing them seS-es of the superior accommodations offered by the Arizona Medical and Surgical Sanitarium.
