Fire Destroys Claremont Sanitarium
Those of our readers who have followed the history of the institution originally established as the Claremont Sanitarium, which was located at Claremont, Cape Colony, one of the suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa, may be interested to learn that the large building was totally destroyed by fire the latter part of July. It has been some years since the institution was conducted in harmony with those principles which are recognized in this country as fundamental in sanitarium work, and in the meantime it has passed through the bankruptcy court. For the last two years the building has been unoccupied with the exception of a man and his wife who have lived on the premises to care for the property. The cause of the fire is not known, and the insurance is reported to be about $175,000.
