THE BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM AT CHICAGO.
By Editor
A DEMAND for the establishment of a branch of the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Chicago has existed for several years, but it has not been possible heretofore to accede to this demand, in consequence of the fact that the organization of the institution requires the use of all its earnings in philanthropic work, so that no surplus has been accumulated for extending its work to other cities. Through the generosity of Messrs. Henry S. P. and Francis H. Wessels, of South Africa, the managers have recently received a handsome gift of $40,000 for the purpose of establishing a Chicago branch. Other friends of the enterprise have contributed a splendid site, not far from the World's Fair Grounds, including a large building, with room for as large additions as may be required, and arrangements are now actively progressing for opening this branch enterprise on or before May 1 of the present year. This preliminary announcement is made for the benefit of those old patrons of the institution who, in visiting the World's Fair, may wish to avail themselves of Sanitarium diet, perfect sanitary conditions, and, if necessary, such treatment as their cases may require. Those who are interested in this enterprise, and may wish to avail themselves of its advantages during the World's Fair, should address us as soon as convenient, stating the fact, and we will send particulars respecting accommodations, terms, etc.
