Dr. R. M. Clarke, who has just connected with the Moline (Ill.) Sanitarium, writes that the institution is prospering, and that he is well pleased with the prospects for the future. The house has been well filled with patients in spite of the changes of late.

Dr. D. H. Kress, superintendent of the Washington Sanitarium, left Washington on May 28, to be present on the occasion of the dedication of the new Wabash Valley Sanitarium at Lafayette, Ind. Later he will attend the meeting of the American Medical Association in Chicago. Another physician is relieving him in the sanitarium during his absence.

The Flashes, published by the Natal (South Africa) Conference has the following in a recent issue: “Our brethren who have taken up health work are all finding their hands very full just now. Brother Armer has had more than he could do for some time. Brother Bauman’s hydro is well patronized, and Brother Beissner’s home is full.” We are always glad to hear these good reports. Brother Beissner writes that a young man who has been staying with him has accepted the truth.

Mr. E. C. Johnson writes from 926 Commerce St., Tacoma, Wash.: “We are of good courage in the Lord, and he is blessing the treatment work here. A little over a year ago my wife and I took over, from Dr. T. J. Allen, the treatment rooms which he had been operating for six or eight years with good success. We have a pleasant location in the business center of the town. We need a physician to take the oversight of the work. There is an excellent opening here for a Christian physician.

The temperance number of the Watchman is at hand, and is an excellent production. Every Seventh-day Adventist, and especially every medical missionary worker, should take a hearty interest in distributing this number. As a people we have been blamed, and perhaps justly, for not taking a more active interest in the temperance movement. Here is an opportunity to redeem our reputation by bringing this question forcibly before the people by distributing one of our best periodicals.

Some very interesting and valuable leaflets on temperance and kindred subjects have just been received from Dr. H. F. Rand. The titles of some of these are, “Patent Medicines With Analysis,” “Drunkenness and Crime,” “Great Popular Evils,” “The Ethics of the Theater, the Card Table, and the Dance,” “A Chat With My Tobacco-Using Brother,” “The Demon’s Council” (on strong drink), “Some of the Effects of Tobacco-Using,” “The Physiological Effect of Tobacco-Using,” “Lessons on Healthful Dress.” These leaflets should have a wide distribution. They can be used in connection with tent efforts and camp-meetings, and are always acceptable.

Do you like to have these people write interesting notes for this department? Can you not contribute? We want to get all the interesting experiences from individuals, and encouraging items from institutions, that we possible can for the encouragement of our workers. Send them in.
