The Health Institute

By Editor

THE HEALTH INSTITUTE.—This institution was started for a noble and praiseworthy object. By bad management, during the period of Bro. White's sickness, it was nearly brought to ruin, and its design almost lost sight of. In consequence, it has had to struggle with difficulties and embarrassments that have been almost fatal to its existence. But we have some hope that the wrongs connected with its past management may be corrected, and this institution, which is so greatly needed for the treatment of the sick, may be saved from destruction.

We would say to our friends that the Institute is prepared to receive and properly care for a goodly number of patients. We believe that the influences surrounding it are such as to make it a place of resort for the sick, that shall be both salutary and pleasant. We invite those who are diseased to come to the Institute for treatment. We are satisfied that the methods there in use for the treatment of disease, are the only safe and proper ones for the recovery of health.

We are, however, sorry to say that the Institute cannot treat the afflicted poor on as liberal terms as it has in the past. It will receive those destitute of means at half price, and thus give one half, if their friends will pay the other half. Payments must be made at the close of each week. The Institute has lost heavily by trusting patients. It can do so no more.
