Medical science has made many discoveries in the field of true cures and their uses, finding new and successful ways of combating disease. Many dis- eases, regarded in the past as unavoidable plagues, are now a matter of history. The conquests already made give good promise of further triumphs. Medical authorities now recognize that the most suc- cessful methods of treatment of the sick are those which most fully utilize the recuperative forces of nature. Greater recognition is being given to natural methods of healing, and less to drug medication. Doctors, nurses, sanitariums, hospitals, remedies, and appliances are of use only as they assist nature, which alone can effect a cure. Standing first in the cure of any and all ills are the natural recuperative powers within the body, and the various natural healing forces outside the body, such as sunlight, fresh air, water, proper diet, etc. The suc cessful physician is he who uses his scientific medical knowledge in an endeavor to assist and supplement these natural healing powers. ----------- 2 ----------- For the Health Seeker that is an old story.

That is an age-old pursuit, taking people even or the fountain of youth. to the ends of the earth in quest of an elixir of life Neither is it new to hear of the discovery of another "cure," with promise of sure relief from some human ailment.

This body is everywhere known for its health interest and activity. From its earliest organization it has stood prominent in its teaching and practice of temperance in its broader application, covering all that is hurtful. In the care of the sick and the treatment of disease it was early recognized that nature, and not drugs, must be relied upon for a cure. A decided position was taken against the use of poisonous drugs as cura- tives. Prominence was given to the use of water as a remedial agent; later there were added various other therapeutic measures, constituting the basis of treat- ment as now carried on in the numerous sanitariums, hospitals, dispensaries, and treatment rooms. The time was when these principles of therapeutics were not accepted by the general medical world. Indeed, by many they were regarded more as fads or irrational procedures. But today these treatment methods are widely recognized as of first importance, and are more or less employed by many medical institutions. The Seventh-day Adventists first made use of the word "sanitarium" to designate an institution for the care of the sick. The sanitarium idea now stands for a distinct system in treating disease. It comprehends ----------- 5 ----------- the removal of the causes of disease; a reform in diet and such other living habits as may be detrimental to health; and the use of natural healing agencies. BELTING THE GLOBE The year 1866 witnessed the establishment of the first sanitarium at Battle Creek, Michigan, at that time the headquarters of this people. The institution was for many years under the direct ownership and control of the denomination, and in carrying out the original pur- pose of its establishment-to form a part of an organ- ized movement in medical evangelization-it was in- strumental in starting several like centers. With the advance of the denominational work into many lands and in many tongues-now 275 countries and islands, and close to 500 languages-the medical ministry has found its field. Health instruction is a part of the regular denominational teaching, and the establishment of health centers follows apace. From a beginning of one sanitarium, the institutional phase of this movement has grown until today there are 108 sanitariums, hospitals, dispensaries, and treat- ment rooms operated by the organization. An investment of over eight million dollars is repre- sented in these medical enterprises. About four thou- sand physicians, nurses, and other workers are em- ployed. Nearly three hundred thousand patients are annually cared for.

Take, for instance, the Orlando (Florida) Sanitarium. It stands in the midst of a grove of stately pines, on the shores of two beautiful lakes. The main building overlooks Lake Estelle, one of the prettiest in the region. The Florida climate gives this sanitarium a prestige that counts much toward its increasing popularity as a health resort. Other large buildings and numerous cottages afford accommodations for the growing number of persons learning to appreciate this place for its health advantages. At Hinsdale, Illinois, a beautiful suburban town of Chicago, is the Hinsdale Sanitarium. Though under private ownership, it operates on similar lines to the other institutions here mentioned. One is struck at once with the beauty of its location. The attractive building, in a grove of virgin forest trees, offers a The "back-to-nature" movement finds quiet retreat. perhaps its best exponents in this sisterhood of Not only natural environment, but the sanitariums. observance of nature's rules of right living is utilized. Removal from the disturbing social surroundings that often have been a factor in the breakdown of health, is essential to its rebuilding. ----------- 8 ----------- A WORLD-WIDE MEDICAL SERVICE SANITARIUMS AND DISPENSARIES IN FOREIGN LANDS Canton Sanitarium and Hospital, Tung Shan, Canton, China.
