Owen ana T talker bare Sfar« ed no ,Expeiii te to make it Coin plete. The EvansviHo sanitarium was thrown open to the public Thursday, January,18. Pro >ably no innovation iu modern times lias grown so rapidly in favor as pr vate sanitariums or hospitals. The rapid advances in both medicine and surgery has made such institutions a necessity. There are many methods of cure which cannot be snccessfu ly employed outside of a properly constructed sanitannin. In surgical work such appointments are fudispensible Trained nursing is another advance which has come o stay. Many lives are sacrificed fos want ot skilled at

tendon. . It is ifith great pleasure lhat we chronicle the opening of the Evansville sanitarium which will give to this whole section every possible advantage that can come from such an establishment. It is located oi Fourth street near Oak, opposite the park. This is the most healthful, quiet and delightful part of the city and still very central. The building, which is just completed, is entirely new and built for this special purpose. It is a handsome three-story brick structure, solidly built, the walls tre h^avy, the floors ot hard wood with concrete under all, The operating room .with its tiled floor, and. wainscot jnjj?, and marble wash bowls and sink is a beauty, it is lighted by large windows and a sky-, light, and at night bv gas and eleetritf; light. The water by a special system is all boiled before using at th$ stands. The building is heated by direct- J in-direct steam, hat is under each raditator is an opening for admission of fresh air besides each room is provided with a ventilating flue so that the air can be changed every few J minutes without dpeuiug a door or window. All the water is filtered through two large Bowden filters. Bot h gas and electriy lights are provided. The plumbing is thoroughly sanitary and the bathrooms are elegantly finished. Hot, cold, steam and electric baths are given. The rooms°are light, cosy and nicely furnished, and provided with electric bells. It i» also arranged go apply electricity iu any form in each room. The sanitarium is the property of Drs. A. M. Oweti fend Edwin Walker both of whom are well known to our readers. ' The superintendent is Miss Margaret Kennedy, w 10 is a graduate from the Episcopal mspital, of Philadelphia and also i om Washington. She has been .in charge of the Evansville city hospital for a year. Sh^ is thoroughly competent and will be assisted bv a corps« f trained nurses.
