South America's First Sanitarium

In the Field department of this number, Elder J. W. Westphal, president of the South American Union Conference, tells of the progress of their first sanitarium enterprise in South America, and of the necessity for studying simplicity, owing to lack of funds. In a letter received from Dr. G. B. Replogle, who is assisting Dr. R. H. Habenicht at the Argentine sanitarium, we learn a few interesting particulars regarding the equipment in this institution that has grown up on the plains of Entre Rios:—

“At this writing there are from twenty to thirty patients in the house. The ground floor in the new building is finished, and full of patients; the upper floor will be ready in about two weeks. We are able to furnish the rooms with beds and bedding as we go, and use kerosene boxes for stands and tables. However crowded the conditions, the patients are getting the good, and go home well pleased. The busy season is just ahead of us.”
