RURAL HEALTH RETREAT.

By Editor

AT a meeting of the board of directors of this institution, held at the Retreat May 25, it was decided that on account of the increased patronage, the contemplated closing of the Napa branch, and the fact that thereafter Dr. Burke will remain at the Retreat and devote his undivided time and attention to the patients there and to the advancement of the interests of the institution,—for these reasons, another addition to the already numerous and commodious buildings has become an immediate and absolute necessity. But in order to carry out this decision, a considerable outlay of money will have to be made. This, as many of its friends are aware, the Retreat does not possess. And here is an opportunity for any who have money which they wish to invest in a good cause, either as donations or at a low rate of interest, to do so, and thereby aid in the humanitarian work of healing the sick, and teaching them how to live and avoid sickness in the future. The remarkable success which has attended the institution heretofore, proves that it is doing a great and good work. This may be increased in proportion as its accommodations and facilities for treating the sick are increased. The object of the institution is solely to do good. Any who wish to correspond on this subject are invited to address the president of the board, Dr. W. P. Burke, Rural Health Retreat, Crystal Springs, St. Helena, Napa Co., California.
