St. Helena Sanitarium

By L. M. BOWEN

THE SANITARIUM AT ST. HELENA, CAL.
THE SANITARIUM AT ST. HELENA, CAL.
The St. Helena Sanitarium was opened for the treatment of patients, early in 1878, hence in age and size, ranks next to the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Dr. M. G. Kellogg was the first physician.
Like many of our institutions starting on a small scale with very limited resources, this sanitarium has had its perplexities and struggles with debt, but has grown in favor with the people. Dr. H. F. Rand has had charge as medical superintendent since last April. Under his care the patronage has about doubled. The past year has been the most prosperous in its history. Its debt obligations are being reduced, and we hope ere long to be able to sing the song of jubilee.
Our first class for the training of nurses was started in 1892, since which time many of the young people of the Pacific Coast have availed themselves of the advantages of this school, and as a result we find many faithful missionaries in various parts of the home and foreign lands who secured their training at the St. Helena Sanitarium. The Lord has blessed in the influence that has gone forth from the work and workers. Many souls have found the Saviour as a result of coming here.
Our location, surroundings, and climate are everything that could be desired, and among our patrons are a large number of people of influence in the world. Our desire is always to be found willing instruments to be used to the glory of God.
