Nashville (Tenn.) Sanitarium

By Dr. F. A. Washburn

SINCE our last report to the REVIEW there has been considerable change in the appearance of our sanitarium. It is rapidly nearing completion, and we expect to be ready to receive patients in about two weeks. Those who are already coming in are being treated in an adjoining cottage, and many others are waiting till the bath-rooms are ready and the rooms finished in the sanitarium building.

The work has progressed quite slowly in the past, and it was very trying on the nerves of any one wishing to see things move rapidly, but of late the work has gone much faster, the plastering on the bath-rooms and the two floors above is completed, and the finishing work by the carpenters is well under way.

We have a beautiful location in the suburbs of Nashville, just far enough out to escape the noise, dust, and smoke of the city, on an elevated portion of land where, from the spacious verandas, the entire city can be seen spread out like a picture, and also the country for many miles around, with its hills and valleys, dotted here and there with farmhouses, and from the groves near by can be heard the songs of the birds, the whole presenting a scene of restfulness and peace that it is better than medicine to the weary and sick.

We hear many favorable comments concerning the location and appearance of the sanitarium from the neighbors, doctors, and business men of the city, and all say that we shall have all we can do when we are ready to receive patients.

We hope that our brethren and sisters will not only remember us in their prayers, but will also remember us to their friends who live in, or think of coming to, the South, and we will do the best we can for them both physically and spiritually.
