Medical Notes

DR. LOCKWOOD, of Kobe, Japan, writes as follows: “I hope that we can have one more nurse as soon as possible for this field. I feel bad at times about calling upon you so often for help, but we are so greatly in need of nurses. What can we do but plead for more?”
A new sanitarium has been started at North Yakima, Wash. The manager writes: “The institution is doing well. Our income has been very good, and on the whole, we look for the institution to do a good work in this part of the field. We have had an average of fifteen patients.”
A summer branch sanitarium of our Kobe institution has been operated with splendid success at Karuizawa, Japan. The workers from Kobe conducted the work, improving the opportunity of a change to a cooler climate during the heated months, without discontinuing their labors.
Miss Hattie Harriman, class 1905, Colorado Sanitarium, will sail for Japan December 5. Nurse Harriman is the fifth missionary who has gone from the Boulder Sanitarium to a foreign field during the past year, and they have all been among the most faithful workers of that institution.
During the last year our medical missionaries in Honan, China, have treated twice as many patients as during the previous year. Some of these went long distances to reach the mission, suffering from such diseases that we here in America would not advise them to go even a short distance in a modern ambulance.
Elder H. J. Edmed writes from the Natal, South African field: “I had the privilege of spending a few days with Brother and Sister Armor, at the Natal Health Institute. The building consists of a five-room house, with lofty ceilings, and the usual conveniences, with a number of smaller buildings which have been converted into bedrooms and treatment rooms. It is situated in the heart of the city, but having large grounds, it is a very suitable place for its purpose. The appliances for giving treatments, while showing due regard to economy, are capable of dealing, in skilful hands, with every ailment, and are well patronized. The vegetarian table is filled each day, some of the patrons being men of responsibility in the civil service. Our people should confidently advise sick people to avail themselves of the advantages of this worthy institution. I greatly enjoyed this hospitality and the baths.”
