The Richmond climax. (Richmond, Ky.) 1897-1914, 1913-02-04
Mt Jackson Sanitarium, Indi-
annapolis, Indiana.

= Hearing that a number OF Madison
county people had been ridded OF rheu-
matism there and fate having decreed
that be sufferer from that pesky di-
sease. hied off to Mt jackson Santa
rum, indianapolis. some two weeks ago
TO try the virtue OF the baths at that
well-known institution. Before the half
dozenth dip" felt improvement and
by the time the bakers dozen was reach
ed, ''rheumatics" had taken its flight.
would be ungrate'ul did not feel good
toward the health-giving place, from
which thousands have gone sound Of
body and light OF heart, and l shall feel
it my bounden duty to tell the rheu-
matte sufferer with whom l come in
contact the work Mt,.Jackson and its
lithia and alkaline waters is doing for
suffering humanity. II is the place to
go if it is relief, quick relief, that you
want; but If your desire is to be in soci-
ety's whirl, probably Martinsville would
serve your demands better Ihave tried
both places and it pleases mo to recon-
mend Mt. Jackson.
1t was an agreeable surprise for me
that Charles E. Cliff. the genial and ac-
commodating manager of Mt. Jackson,
is Madison county product. He is
from the Berea section and knows well
many Richmond people. His splendid
wife. who was Miss Mae Yates, is niece
OF County Clerk r. b. Terrill and halls
from the Kingston section. She is a
helpmeet in all the word means and is a
friend to all who enter Mt. Jackson
She and Manager Cliff are splendidly
equipped for the head OF an institution
of the Mt. jackson kind, and while they
are untiring in their efforts to help and
please tvery patient, they are especially
thoughtful and considerate Of the Ken
tuckians. They have placed me under
lasting obligations and hope never to
forget their many deeds Of kindness.
In looking over the register find that
many Madison county people have been
treated here and am told that each and
every one has left here either well or
greatly improved. Following are few

P. NJ Pope, Murray Smith, John Wag-
ers, Charles Douglas, Jno R. Gibson,
Mr.. and Mrs. Jonah Wagers, II. @ Rice,
Mrs. Jake Herndon, Mrs R. w. Walker,
r. W. Todd, V. Ricci, Charles Tudor,
T. s. Todd. Shelby Gott, T. G. Gentry
DR.. Moss Gibson, Emil Lohrisch, Mrs. |
Matte Douglas, J. E. Long. Shelby Bur
gin, NJ. NJ. Hamilton and others.
am informed by Manager Cliff that
the Indianapolis base ball team will not
be at the Sanitarium this March, as has
been the custom for several years The
management thought it best TO give the
room TO patients, and so decided, not
withstanding q hattering offer by the
manager of the team to take his play
ers, numbering 25 or 30, for whole
month.
indianapolis is great big town and
seems to be good business point, but
there is not a great deal to see there.
The capitol building, the monument tn
the soldiers and sailors. Kingan g. Co.'S
pack ing houses and the asylum are about
all of the big things recall. The capi-
tol is a handsome building, something
after the architecture of the National
capitol; the monument is said 10 be the
finest iu the world, although there are
many taller and larger; the packing
house is one of the biggest of its kind in
the United States, and the asylum, with
its spacious, well-kept grounds and its
splendid buildings, has about 1900 in
mates. 1t is far from clean city and
was probably never referred TO even in
Jest as ''spotless town." There are
very few elegant houses and the busi-
ness portion is far ahead of the resident
section. 1t is hard city TO learn, on
account of the many streets running at
angles TO the Circle, which surrounds
the Soldiers and Sailors monument.
The increase in population in the past
ten years was over 65. 900 and Indianap
oils has over $50 souls less than our own
Louisville. Much building is going on
and the city seems to be in highly
prosperous condition.
The colored brother is dead in it, in
Indiana's capital. He attends the white
schools, or rather many Of them, can sit
wherever he wishes in the theatres and
he has equal rights in many of the ho-
tells and restaurants. There is no Jim
