The Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium

By Francis McLellan Wilcox

THE Boulder-Colorado Sanitarium was established in 1896. For several years it was operated particularly in the interests of those suffering with tuberculosis. For numerous reasons this policy worked very greatly against its success, and the reputation which it obtained as a consumptive sanitarium has been a source of embarrassment throughout its history.
Like all pioneer institutions, its early history was fraught with struggles and difficulties. Marked success has attended the institution during the later years of its history. It has enjoyed an excellent patronage, and marked results have been seen in the cases of many who have come for relief. A number have accepted the truth in consequence of coming to the institution as guests, and a still larger number have received such impressions as will bear fruit in coming days.

A successful training-school for nurses has been operated during the history of the institution. Increased impetus has come to this branch of the work during the last two years.
A burning zeal for work in the great regions beyond has possessed a number of our people. Five have already gone to other lands to take part in the closing work, and others are eagerly looking forward to the time when they can enter upon active work for their Master. The future of the Colorado Sanitarium is bright with promise.
