A Noble Institution.

By W.

Reference is made to the Colorado Sanitarium, Boulder, Colorado. The writer had the privilege of spending part of two days there on his return from General Conference. Altho not at the mildest time of year—mid March—the days were pleasant, and continually deceived one into believing that they were warmer than they really were. The climate is good, the air pure, clear, bracing, just such as is needed by a certain class of consumptive, asthmatical, and dyspeptic patients. The water is clear, cold, and of remarkable purity, fresh from the mountain snows. The scenery is rich and varied, with plenty of opportunity for hill and mountain climbing. The buildings and appointments in the way of treatment rooms, baths of various kinds—among which is the electric-light bath, superior to Turkish or Russian—the best of diets and doctors, and managers, matrons, and helpers, render the institution a pleasant home to the sojourner. One thing the writer would like to emphasize for the benefit of the readers of the SIGNS throughout the great central west, who need the benefits of such an institution: It is not specifically a sanitarium for those suffering from pulmonary complaints. While it is especially favorable to this class above many other institutions, it is equal to other institutions in the treatment of other diseases, maladies, and infirmities. It ought to be a Beth-shan, a house of rest, for the overworked business and professional men of Denver, less than thirty miles distant. It is open for all classes. For particulars, terms, circulars, etc., write the superintendent, W. H. Riley, M.D., Boulder, Colo. W.
