future. This is where we hold the
Sunday School l wrote you about, so
this is one of my favorite spots.
This is REST Cottage, or the In
Urinary, as it is officially called. Don't
be afraid, come right in and meet my
old friend, Mary Ferguson. Patients
who are sick or need a complete rest,
are sent here where they can get a lit
tie closer attention than is possible in
the general wards, and they eat right
here in this dining-room instead of
having to walk to the big one. Let's
/ go cheer them up and get them smil-
ing; it's fine for them and does them
good. Just look in through this door
before we go out. That man looking
a slide is my old friend Professor"
! Smallwood. He is looking for bugs"
or "TB" germs in a specimen of sput-
UNI. He pursues the bugs as relent-
lessly as a bloodhound on the trail of
a murderer; however, he is very hui.
name in putting them out of the way.
They all tell me that a bug" who is
brave enough to think he can escape
professor" Smallwood is entitled to a
Carnegie medal. He does lots of other
things in that little laboratory but new
er says anything about it, except to
those he makes his reports to-.
Now we are on our way back to the
"Ad." Bldg, where we started from.
This is ward C and upstairs is ward
D; both for female patients; they are
just like wards A and B for the male
patients. Here we are back in the
the Board of Directors room, sleeping
] apartments of the physicians, head
nurse, etc. That jolly little man going
there with the spectacles on is Doc
tor" Hansen. He used to be a Dane
but is now a full-ledged American
and proud of it. He can see right
through you-with his X-ray machine.
He takes X-ray pictures and lots of
other pictures, also takes blood pres
sures and does lots of other things.
He is just going in to show somebody
the X-ray apparatus and we can see it
at the same time and hear him explain
it as | could never get my tongue
twisted around those j~aw-breaking
words. Listen, Arthur: "A complete
x-ray outfit consisting of a Kny-
Scheerer, 10 Killowat, x-ray trans
former, a stereographic tube stand
which is used in connection with a
vertical plate changer for the IA ink
II in. X-ray plates; also a microscope,
which enables the physicians to see
many of the internal operations of the
body such as the heart action and ex-
pansion and contraction of the lungs
while breathing; also a stereoscope
for studying the x-ray plates. Two pic
lures are made-one for each eye
both plates are shown side by side
Sounds like an announcement on a
photograph, don't it, Arthur? but it's
all straight stuff in the s~tereoscope,
which enables the physician to detect
any little abnormal condition of the
lungs, as this apparatus causes the
figures on the plates to stand OUT,
just as the objects seemed to on the
little stereoscope we used to look
through in the parlor at home years
ono Thara 10 aIco n I;~I, cuzo,,.,a-
machine used in giving electrical
treatment; also a w%ellequipped dark
room where the x-ray plates are de-
veloped and all the other photograph
ic work of the Sanatorium is done"
Next to his Office is the House Of
Pleasure, or the Office of DR.. Brad
bury, the dentist. They tell me he
pulls teeth so nice and easy that ev-
erybody is disappointed because he
don't hurt them. You are acquainted
with the appliances in a complete, up
to-date dental office, so we won't go
in and look at them. The number of
men refused for the army because of
defective teeth shows how important
good teeth are to good health. Don't
be frightened at the instruments you
see in this next room where minor
surgical operations are performed and
a throat clinic is held every morning
at ten O'Clock. Right across the hall
is a fine little library of about 1900
books, where patients may secure
books on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Well l am sorry you have to go so
Don There are quite a few things
you haven't seer yet, such as the new.
sanitary cow barns, (where patients
are not allowed to go), the pig pens,
farm houses, sewage disposal plant,
water reservoir, etc. Well, so long,
old man, sure am glad you came. Tell
everybody you see hat l have the
