Three Weeks in the Washington Sanitarium

By J. W. HIRLINGER

AFTER undergoing a double operation, and spending three weeks in the Washington Sanitarium, I find myself strong enough to return to my home in Bridgeport, W. Va. I did not come to Washington with the intention of having an operation, but while here my old affliction, which had caused me much suffering, came on me; and after consulting Dr. Miller, I decided to have the cause of trouble removed.
Under the skilled hand of Dr. Miller, and the care of his faithful assistants, guided by the Spirit of the Great Physician, the operation has proved successful. After a little rest and time to recuperate, I am confident that I shall be able to accomplish much more work in the Master's vineyard, with greater ease.
I have found the Sanitarium atmosphere ideal. The entire Sanitarium family have been so very kind and attentive to me that I could hardly help recovering. Many other guests of the institution speak in the same terms. This is the third institution of its kind that I have been in, but I have not found the Spirit of Heaven more manifestly present in any of them than in this. It seems that I have been in a large, happy home, rather than in a public institution.
God has been preciously near me all during my operation and recovery. I was anointed by some of the leading brethren the next day after my operation. I fully appreciate the many prayers of God's people in my behalf. They have helped me much. I hope soon to be able to be out among the churches and people again. J. W. HIRLINGER.
