The Atlanta (Ga.) Sanitarium
By L. A. H.
We present herewith a view of the Atlanta Sanitarium as it now appears, since recent improvements have been made. The picture speaks for the attractiveness of the building. It is located on a good corner, in a pleasant part of the city, and is a credit to our work in that place. There is something of special interest, however, concerning the recent improvements, that should be noted. The manager, R. T. Dowsett, writes: “I am glad to tell you that we have made this change in the sanitarium, have had the whole building repainted, and have paid for the same from the income of the sanitarium. We have also been able to wipe out some of the indebtedness.” Such a report as this is good news, and the friends of the Atlanta Sanitarium will be glad for this evidence of its progress. The building is the one that was at one time used as a branch office of the Review and Herald Publishing Association, and was donated by that association to the Southern Union Conference. With some alterations, it was made suitable for sanitarium use. For some time it was leased to Dr. C. F. Curtis, who had been engaged for a number of years in medical missionary work in the city. After further improvements and refurbishing, the institution was operated as a conference enterprise. These last finishing touches put this institution in good condition for its work. It has enjoyed quite a good patronage for some time, and is building up a constituency that means permanent success. With a good building, pleasant surroundings, fair equipment, and an excellent family of conscientious and competent workers, the Atlanta Sanitarium bids fair to succeed. The superintendent, Dr. J. H. Neall, has had a long experience in successful medical practise. To be able to make improvements and to meet indebtedness from the earnings of an institution, requires careful management, and the fullest co-operation of the entire family in the exercise of the principles of true economy. Diligence in business and fervency in spiritual zeal will bring good results, and are essential to the blessing of God, without which no institution need expect to succeed.
