THE Washington Sanitarium, at Walla Walla, Wash., has called Dr. Willis Warner to connect with that institution. Dr. Warner for the past year has been located at Moline, Ill., but on account of the urgent call for help at Walla Walla, he has gone there to take charge of the sanitarium.

Dr. W. E. Bliss, who has for the past year been connected with the Wisconsin Sanitarium at Madison, has lately accepted a position in the New England Sanitarium, Melrose, Mass. He passed through Washington a short time ago, visiting the various institutions here and his many friends. We wish the doctor success in his new field of labor.

The following interesting items come from Dr. Geo. Thomason, of Plumstead, South Africa: “During the first year of the little sanitarium at Plumstead we had a gain of over £400. We have put up an addition to the main building and a four-room cottage. We have excellent bath-room facilities and a nice little operating room, and the building is well but plainly furnished throughout. We seldom have a vacant room for more than a few hours, or at most a few days. During the past few weeks we have had more patients under treatment than at any time since we started. During the past year, owing to the financial depression, we have had to make discounts more frequently, but in spite of this our report shows a gain of over £60, and charity work to the amount of £500. We feel indeed grateful for this, and it gives us renewed courage to believe that no matter how strenuous the times, if we humbly seek to do the work to which God has called us, he will see to it that we do not lack any necessary thing. Mr. and Mrs. Baumann have opened up medical missionary work in Durban, Natal. They are getting nicely started, and will be able to do an excellent work in that center. I believe in a little while there will be a call in that city for one of our physicians. Brother and Sister Armer, who are located at Maritzberg, have been carrying on a very successful medical missionary enterprise in that city for the past five years. They are calling loudly for similar work to be started in Port Elizabeth. A physician could do well in connection with each of these little establishments, provided he develops an outside practise, which he could easily do.”
