TO THE BRETHREN IN MINNESOTA.
By N. Battin
As many of my brethren have expressed a desire to hear from me, and I have neither time nor strength to write to them all personally, I am happy to take this method of stating that after a stay of three weeks at the Health Institute, my health is improving quite rapidly. It also gives me great pleasure to state that I am highly pleased with this institution. The corps of physicians, with Dr. Kellogg at their head, are worthy of the entire confidence of all. They love the work in which they are engaged, and are laboring almost night and day for the good of those under their care. This may, with equal propriety, be said of the helpers. All connected with the Institute seem to take a deep interest in the welfare of the patients. This causes, or at least should cause, those who come here to feel perfectly at home. Last but not least, the moral influences are good. I say good; but this does not fully express it. To be under the care of God-fearing and truth-loving physicians, such as are here, is a privilege not often enjoyed by invalids. May our prayers ever be united for the prosperity of this institution. Health Institute, Battle Creek, Mich.
