SANITARIUM
AJUCCESS
Sketch of America's First
Consumptive Hospital.
Seventeen Patients in the
Unique Institution Near
White Haven Are Rapidly
Regaining Their Health.
"High In a spur of the Blue Ridge
mountains at White Haven, Pa., Is a
colony of consiAnptives," says the New ;
York Journal. "Living in the open air
and furnished with nutritive food, sev- j
enteen patients of the Free Hospital for
Poor Consumptives are recovering
health and strength.
"The sanitarium is an old and tumble
down barn. The wlhd whistles through
the cracks and sweeps over the beds of
invalids, who have no protection save
that they are warmly wrapped. The
stronger ones spend their days out of
doors. They take their meals in an ad
jacent cottage whose windows cannot
l>e closed. Yet they all improved from
the time of their admission. The spon
sors and supporters of the enterprise
say they will be cured.
"This mode of treatment represents
the modern idea of the rational cure of
tuberculosis. Pure blood, it is said, is a
natural germicide and the most effective
one. Given, then, a system ridden with
bacilli, the disease is combatted by the
creation of a rich circulation. An ab
normal supply of food, high in nutri
tion, is administered, accompanied by
proper tonics to meet the effects of tho
unusual work upon the digestive organs.
Fresh, unbreathod air, which oxidizes
the circulation, is nature's important i
contribution to the process of healing.
"At present the sanitarium has pos
sible accommodations for fifty patients.
Steps have been taken looking toward
the erection of a hospital which will
have a capacity of 200.
"The White Haven Sanitarium has
an ideal location on a plateau on the
side of a blufT at the southern end of
the Pocono mountains. Tne knoll rises
abruptly to a height of .'{oo feet above
the town. From it a magnificent
panorama, wit h the Lehigh river in tho
foregtound, is beheld. The site is 1,400
feet abovo sea level. A feature which
is considered to he of the most import
ance is the soil. This is soft, red shale,
so porous that dampness is reduced to
the minimum. The altitude is such
that no smoke or dust reaches the
patients. The peak of tho mountain
affords protection from north winds.
"Tho colony is conducted by a dis
cipline that is military in its strictness
The patients arise at 7 and retire at 9.
They are not allowed to leave tho estate.
Exercise Is assigned to them and such
work as their condition will warrant.
Expectoration is forbidden and violation
of this rule is punished by instant expul
sion.
"Practically six meals are oaten in a
day. Each man is required to dispose
of not less than three quarts of milk and
six raw eggs. Many of them consume
four quarts of milk and ten to a dozen
eggs. At 7.30 o'clock the patients eat a
breakfast of cereals, raw eggs, milk and
coffee. At 10 there is a lunch of milk
and eggs. At 12.30 a bountiful dinner
is served, consisting of soup meats or
fowl, three vegetables, salad and a
dessert of Nillk pudding. Milk and eggs
are served again at 4 o'clock and at (j a
supper of cold meats, potatoes, fruit and
milk. The last meal, at 8 o'clock, is of
eggs and milk. Eggs are never cooked.
"The effects of this tremendous
consumption of food are soon in tho
changes wrought in the patients, in
August there was an average gain of
twelve and one-quarter pounds per man.
The record case for the month was
nineteen and one-half pounds. Several
patients have gained six and one-half
pounds & week.
"Since the sanitarium was opened, on
August 5, some of the men have made
remarkable improvement. Two were
so nearly cured that they loft the place
to return to work. All of the work
about the hospital is done by the
patients, so that it is practically self
supporting.
"The patients to a man are contontod
and cheerful. They are ready, even
eager, to perform all tasks that are ask
ed of them.
"The legislature of Pennsylvania has
voted funds to enlarge the sanitarium,
which is free and supported by a society
in Philadelphia.

THEATRICAL
James R. Walte appeared before his
Harrisburg friends at the opera house
list evoning in a new line, playing the
title role in an interesting now play
adapted from the popular book "Uncle
Terry,by Charles Clark Munn, and
dramatized by William (Jill. Those who
witnessed the production saw a play
equal to any of the successful plats
written from story lifo in the New Hug
land States. "Uncle Terry" is a ser
mon play which carries with it a lesson.
Numerous scenic effects make the play
more realistic and no detail was lack
ing in this respect.
The story of last night's play is laid
alone the coast of Maine and starts with
a storm at sea during a blipding snow
followed by the wrecking 0/ a vessel
and the casting upon the shore of a
bundle which contained a little waif,
a girl, who later blossoms into a hand
some young woman, and before her real
identity is known and her fortune res
tored to her many opportunities are
afforded for the introduction of a num
ber of typical New England characters.
Mr. Waite as "Uncle Terry" was a
great success, and his rendition of the
role was just what the author of the
story intended it to be. His support
was of a high standard.
During the play old time hymns and
songs are introduced, which add to the
play and make it more sermon like.—
Harrisburg Telegraph, September 28,
11)01.
t t t
"A Hindoo Hoodoo," which will be
presented by (Jeorgo W. Larson and
ids company on Tuesday will be a strict
ly high-class performance and one that
will prove most satisfying to local
theatregoers. The play has been a
laughing success in the larger cities.
To lovers of genuine hearty and wholly
puro fun it offers a most refreshing
entertainment.
t t t
"Madeline of Fort Reno" last evening
pleased those who like plays of frontier
life. The company is a good one and
gavo a satisfactory performance.

Smallpox in Plymouth.
Two more cases of smallpox havo
been 'Uncovered in Plymouth, the vic
tims being Benjamin Walton and his
little daughter. The. former lias given
the local authorities a groat deal of
trouble, ho refusing to go to the deten
tion house adjoining the emergency
hospital when it was discovered that his
stepson, Van Loon, lias contracted the
disease upward of two weeks ago. His
refusal on that occasion was the cause
of more or less exponse to the borough
because it had to provide a watchman
to prevent his going out and mingling
with the people.
The authorities, as soon as it was dis
covered that Walton wore his daughter,
were affile tod with the complaint, hustl
ed them to the emergency hospital des
pite their protests and the health officers
thorougly fumigated the premises where
they roslded. There are at present
eight persons in tho house of detention
and three cases of smallpox and one of
varioloid in the hospital.

Notice to Milk ltuyers.
Notice is hereby given that on and
aftor Monday, October 14, 1901, the
price of milk sold by the milk dealers of
Erenland and vicinity will be 8 cents
per quart when purchased In quantities
of less than four quarts per day; to pur
chasers of four or more quarts per day
milk will bo sold at the rate of 6 cents
per quart. Above prices are to con
tinue in force until May 1, 1901.
This slight increase in the price of
milk is made necessary by the increase
in the cost of hay, feed, etc.. during the
fall and winter months. Patrons are
requested to bear in mind the fact that
milk costs considerable more to produce
during the above months and that the
small advance made barely covers our
increased expenses. Relieving that our
patrons will concede us the right to ask
a reasonable prolit in the conduct of our
business, and requesting your further
patrouage, we remain,
Respectfully yours,
