IN a letter from W. C. Foreman, manager of the Tri-City Sanitarium, Moline, Ill., he states that the past year has been quite a prosperous one for that institution. The patronage has been good, and the building well filled all the time. Nearly six hundred patients have been cared for. Quite a portion of these have been surgical cases. The physicians of the city bring patients to the sanitarium for care, and a good reputation is being established. The feeling in the community could scarcely be better. As a result of the satisfactory services rendered, the local patronage has increased very materially during the year.

The spiritual tone of the work has been quite satisfactory. Two young men have accepted the truth and joined the church during the year. The young people’s society, made up of workers in the institution, has shown quite a decided interest in spiritual work, and has put forth commendable efforts to help people outside the institution.

Last year was the best one financially that the institution has ever had. The indebtedness was reduced somewhat, while quite a number of needed improvements were made and some necessary equipment secured. With the additional facilities and with a prosperous season for the coming year, the prospect is good for the institution.

The Wabash Valley Sanitarium, at La Fayette, Ind., reports the past year as a very successful one, the latter part of the year showing an unusually heavy patronage. The work of the institution has been greatly blessed with most excellent results in behalf of the patients. A substantial reputation is being established.
