IMPORTANT NOTICE.

All persons holding stock in the Sanitarium, formerly known as the Health Reform Institute, who do not expect to be present at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held at this place according to appointment, Nov. 10, 1879, will please authorize persons who will be present to vote for them by proxy. It is important that every stockholder should be represented at this meeting; and it is necessary that each one holding stock should attend to this matter at once, as there must be a majority of the stock represented in order that the meeting may be held.
Those who appoint proxies would do well to appoint, so far as possible, persons residing in this place, so as to be sure of their attendance. Proxies appointed more than two years ago should be re-appointed, as most of the proxies of older date have been lost. Let every one who is not absolutely certain that he will be represented at this meeting either in person or by proxy, appoint a proxy at once. The following is the necessary form, which is accompanied by the necessary instruction. Certificates of proxy may be sent to the persons named in them, or direct to the secretary of the Board, Dr. W. B. Sprague, Sanitarium.

Sec. 6. When such writing shall have been certified by the elder or clerk of the Seventh-day Adventist church to which such person belongs, or in case the person desiring to vote by proxy is not a member of any regularly-organized church, then an acknowledgment of the aforesaid writing, before any Seventh-day Adventist minister in good standing with the body, or before any justice of the peace, shall be sufficient to qualify the stockholder to whom said writing is sent or given to vote as proxy.
