The Nebraska Sanitarium

By D. R. Callahan

THE Nebraska Sanitarium, situated at College View, Neb., a suburb of Lincoln, was started in the year 1894 by Dr. A. N. Loper, in a cottage of about eight or ten rooms, and has steadily increased until now it occupies not only the first cottage enlarged to twenty-five rooms, but the building shown in the accompanying picture, with one hundred and twenty rooms. It has a valuation of over fifty thousand dollars. There are four physicians and sixty-eight helpers and nurses connected with the institution. Diseases of nearly every type are treated (except tuberculosis).

Many discouraged souls have gained new hope and life by the aid received here. Surgery comes prominently to the front, with less than one per cent loss in major work. Over five hundred patients were treated last year.

A food factory is connected with the institution, where all the foods in common use for the sick can be obtained.

No dividends are paid, as all earnings above expenses are used in charitable and benevolent work. Below we give a list of the employees:—

W. A. George, M. D., Superintendent; Orville Rockwell, M. D.; Lyra H. George, M. D.; Amy Humphery, M. D.; Mrs. A. T. Robinson, Bible teacher; Lena Newman, Matron; D. R. Callahan, Business Manager; Josephine Nelson, Secretary; Bert Glasscock, Manager Food Company.
