VirOgua, Wis.
Dear Friend:-I have been here a
! week last Saturday, arriving in the
mrning, ne day late, because of misses
in railroad Connections at functional
points. | was somewhat tired out by
the day and night bank work at the
Prairie, but anxious to take up the
task before me with the three hum
bred others who are seeking health.
/ was only three days in the hospital,
my case being so favorably diagnosed,
while there are those who are obliged
TO remain in the hospital for twelve
and sixteen weeks. The service there
as to care and attention and in eats
could not be improved upon. The Of
ficers and physicians were very consid-
crate of me, practically all of them
calling upon me the first and second
days in the hospital They commence
ed on the second and third days to
give me critical examinations, and at
once, pronounced me fit and able to
promotion in the colonies in a little
house of my own, where / have found
much contentment in rest eating, and
sleep. In fact that is the long end Of
the treatment prescribed here.
As yet ! have not been prescribed
any periods of exercise, and for that
reason | am unable to tell you any
particulars concerning the institution
and its general surroundings. | win
do that when | have more latitude and
know some of the dominant facts /
am anxious to say to you and the
Nelghbors, after a weeks sojourn that
my fondest anticipations of the place
and its management and accomplish
ments far exceed my expectations, and
am heartily glad to be numbered a.
mong that great fraternal brotherhood
that gives consideration to the restor-
alton of men by the maintenance of an
institution of this great beneficial
character. None can appreciate the
magnitude of the work attempted and
accomplished here. There are 200 pa
tents in the colonies and about 100 in
the hospital. Among them are men in
all walks of life-bankers, merchants,
doctors, lawyers, workingmen, some
Well-t0-do III q financial sense while
others have not dollar, but one receiv-
es exactly the same attention and con-
sideration. And to my mind this is
one of the highest prerogatives of man
and humane brotherhood.

came here two weeks before my arriv-
al, but the high altitude was too weak
enIng for his already shattered nerves
and condition, so that he left a week
ago, for which | am very sorry. One
nelghbor is near ne ic.'c from Sparta.
a Mr. Kleine, marble cutter. / will
doubtless meet others from the state
when have an opportunity to get
around in the colonies, of which there
are two. A and B.
/ went through a good deal of re-
luctanee and remorse about coming
here, but ! am fully reconciled and hap
Ply IN the thought and belief that did
the right thing. ! have not been lone
some or homesick for minute, and
am determined that will not be. There
is plenty of good company among the
neighbors, men of high character and
intellectually, and they are all anxious
to get acquainted with all new corners.
They all speak words Of praise for the
Sanitarium, its work and objects. The
variety and palatable quality Of the
eats is one of the strong recommends
OF the place. Everything is of the
best. am sending you bill of fare
for one day, changed daily. will
write more particulars when / know
more of the institution. The location
is ideal and atmosphere invigoratinp
kindest regards to you and inquiring
friends.
Sincerely and fraternally yours,
OLIVER G.. MJTNSON
