This institution offers unrivaled advantages to ALL CLASSES OF INVALIDS, both in winter and summer. It is situated on an elevated site, about one mile northeast of the beautiful little city of Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Spacious grounds about and in front of the Home are laid out in artistic lawns, with beautiful picturesque surroundings, which are but few of the natural advantages. The fine OAK GROVES in close proximity afford pleasant shade and a delightful place for out-of-door recreation in summer. From the roof and spacious verandas, and many of the private rooms, is obtained a delightful view of natural scenery of great variety. Some of the chief characteristics of this place are its dry atmosphere, clear sunshine, the remarkably even temperature, balmy breezes, absence from storms and high winds, the salubriousness of its climate, with absolute freedom from malaria.

The Turkish, Russian, Electro-Thermal, Electro-Vapor, Hot Air, Vapor, Shampoo, Saline-Sponge, Vinegar-Sponge, Salt-Glow, Wet-Hand-Rub, and other miscellaneous methods: Nasal Douche, Oil-Bath, Inhalation of Oxygen, and Alkaline Bath. These Baths will be prescribed as are from time to time found necessary. Electricity, Manual Swedish Movements, Indian Club and Dumb-Bell exercises are also adjuncts. In fact, the most perfect facilities for thorough and scientific treatment of the sick are employed in this institution.
The buildings are commodious and pleasant, elegantly furnished and thoroughly warmed and ventilated by the most PERFECT SYSTEM OF HEATING AND VENTILATING ever devised. Every room is supplied with pure, steam-heated air, which is replaced by newly-heated fresh air every minute, thus preventing rebreathing the same air. In addition to the new building shown above, several fine cottages in close proximity are owned and used by the company for the accommodation of patients or boarders. The Home is abundantly furnished with hot and cold water, the supply being obtained from springs in the adjacent grove, which for purity is equaled only by that which is distilled. The benefits to be derived from such water for drinking and bathing purposes can scarcely be estimated. Scores of reliable testimonials can be adduced, if desired, showing the remarkable cures which have resulted from drinking and bathing in the water of these celebrated springs.
With all the foregoing advantages, thorough and judicious treatment and wholesome diet, most invalids who avail themselves of these advantages, rapidly recover. Our patients have the care of a regularly graduated physician, of several years' experience, who is assisted by lady and gentleman attendants of several years' experience in similar institutions. All invalids can rest assured they will be kindly cared for. For descriptive circulars, terms, and further particulars, address, J. S. MAXSON, M. D., or
