GOLF COURSE 
To the PMedical Profession 
THIS BOOKLET describes, for the benefit of the pro- 
fession, the equipment of The Clifton Springs Sani- 
tarium and Clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. 
Founded in 1850 by Dr. Henry Foster, it is operated under 
a deed of trust in which appears the phrase “to use, in a 
liberal spirit, all known remedial agencies,” presenting the 
purpose he had in mind for the conduct of the institution. 
To fulfill such a purpose there is necessarily constant change 
and growth in order to utilize to the best advantage the 
added facilities for the diagnosis and treatment of disease 
afforded by modern medical research. It has diverted em- 
phasis from the use of the sulphur springs which determined 
the location of the institution, and has brought about the 
development of the many departments described in the fol- 
lowing pages. 
The resources of the Clinic as a whole are at the service 
of each patient and of his physician as well, for care is 
taken to keep the home doctor informed concerning the 
clinical findings obtained in the study of his patients and 
the therapeutic measures used for their benefit. 
That home doctors may be even more completely in- 
formed, the Sanitarium will be glad to welcome members 
of the profession as its guests, and thus give the physicians 
an opportunity to judge for themselves how thoroughly

prepared are the buildings, park, equipment, and personnel 
to furnish a satisfactory environment for the ambulatory 
patients as well as to care for those whose condition is more 
serious. 
The Sanitarium and Clinic is located at Clifton Springs, 
N. Y., a village in the Finger Lakes Region, near Rochester. 
It is reached by fine motor roads, and is on the main line of 
the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Auburn Branch of the 
New York Central. It is within a few miles of the main line 
of the New York Central at Newark and the Northern Cen- 
tral Branch of the Pennsylvania at Canandaigua. It is 
therefore very easy of access, and within one night’s ride of 
most of the Eastern, Central, and Midwestern cities. 
The map on the last page of this booklet will enable one 
to visualize routes and estimate distances. 
The Main Building is fireproof, consists of six floors and a 
solarium, and has accommodations for 200 patients and 
guests. These rooms are equipped, most of them, in a 
manner similar to those in a large modern hotel.

THE FOSTER BUILDING. SEEN FROM SOUTH PARK 
The Foster Building, of semi-fireproof construction, 
houses the dental and obstetrical departments, and has rooms 
for 100 medical patients. The Lodge nearby and West Hall, 
which is connected with the main building, accommodate 75 
patients. 
The Woodbury Building, a new four-story fireproof struc- 
ture connected with the main building by corridors and 
equipped with every convenience of a modern hospital, 
accommodates 80 patients, and houses the Surgical, Labora- 
tory, X-ray, and other departments described in the follow- 
ing pages. 
There are no general wards in the institution; a few rooms 
contain two and three beds. 
A hundred-acre park with hundreds of fine old trees sur- 
rounds the buildings; running along two sides of the park 
is an easy though beautiful and interesting nine-hole golf 
course. 
The Sanitarium owns a model dairy and poultry farm of 
three hundred fifty acres nearby, and a more distant grazing 
6 The Clifton Springs Sanitarium and (flintc

tract of five hundred acres. From the farm supplies of fresh 
food are obtained. 
The Sanitarium has its own power, heat, electricity, water 
and ice units. Buildings other than those mentioned include 
officers’ residences, dormitories for employees, and the re- 
cently built nurses home, Maxwell Hall. 
The Institution is planned for the diagnosis and treatment 
of most diseases, but it has been found expedient to exclude 
certain conditions. Cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, 
insanity, and epilepsy are not accepted. 
Since a large proportion of those who enter the Sani- 
tarium are ambulatory patients, every attempt is made to 
maintain in some parts of the institution an atmosphere 
different from that of a hospital. The construction, arrange- 
ment, and management of the buildings all contribute to 
this end. 
The general appearance of the attractive main dining room, 
the lounge, lobbies, parlors, and library is strikingly like

that which one would expect to find in a first-class hotel. 
There are facilities for gymnasium work, bowling, and 
billiards, and for various outdoor sports including a nine- 
hole golf course, tennis, croquet, clock golf, and other lawn 
sports. Evening entertainments, too, are provided fre- 
quently, and religious services are held daily under the 
direction of a resident chaplain. 
Rates (card sent on request) have a wide range, and com- 
pare favorably with hotel rates for corresponding accommo- 
dations. The charges include, however, institutional nur- 
sing, medical attention, usual treatments, and dietetic man- 
agement.

The Permanent Medical Staff numbers twenty-five. The 
members are selected with the object of covering a wide 
range of specialties. Hence, in addition to internists and 
general surgeons, there are neurologists, orthopedists, psy- 
chiatrists, oto-rhino-larynologists, ophthalmologists, urolo- 
gists, pathologists, chemists, etc. 
All physicians are members in good standing of county, 
state, and national societies, and many belong also to the 
national organizations for specialists. 
A full staff of trained nurses is maintained in addition to 
the nurses in the training school. Moreover, there are 
trained dietitians, electro and occupational therapeutists. 
All departments have an adequate corps of technical and 
clerical assistants. 
The Method of Case Study is essentially as follows: After 
a preliminary examination a tentative diagnosis is made, 
which ordinarily determines the physician to be in charge 
of the patient. He continues the study, calling into consul-

tation such other members of the staff as he deems necessary. 
The advantages of cooperation in this manner of physician, 
surgeon, pathologist, and others, is obvious. 
Since the average individual coming to the Sanitarium 
needs careful medical supervision, a specified minimum 
examination has been found to be the wisest preliminary 
step. This consists of a physical examination which in- 
cludes examination of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, teeth, and 
fluoroscopy of the chest. The height, weight, blood pres- 
sure, and other data are recorded. Preliminary laboratory 
work includes examinations of blood, urine, and feces. The 
routine is modified for patients who are very ill. 
The Department of Metabolic Diseases cares for patients 
who are afflicted with gout, obesity, malnutrition, arthritis, 
and endocrine disorders. As a distinct and separate unit of 
this subdivision, there is the special equipment for the study 
and control of diabetes. This unit has a diet kitchen, special

dining room, offices, and rooms reserved for diabetic patients. 
The specially trained nurses and dietitians make possible 
the supervision and control which are essential for stan- 
dardizing these cases. Through individual and group in- 
struction, the patients learn about the disease, how to test 
for glucose, to weigh and measure foods, to calculate a diet, 
and to look after the general care of the body. 
Distinctive Features of the treatment of Cardiac Diseases 
available here are: first, hydrotherapy, usually in the form 
of artificial carbon-dioxide baths; second, massage, which in 
general is given as a substitute for active exercise; third, 
better control of hours for rest and exercise and of diet if 
needed. Electrocardiographs are a part of the equipment 
for diagnosis. 
The Operating Rooms, five in number, and completely 
equipped for all surgical procedures, occupy the top floor 
of one wing of the new Woodbury Building. They are in 
close proximity to the laboratories and the X-ray depart-

ments, thus providing facilities for consultation with these 
specialties without delay. The two upper floors of the other 
wing of the same building contain 40 rooms for surgical 
patients exclusively. 
Three surgeons, a resident, an interne, and an anaesthe- 
tist, comprise the department’s personnel. The scope of 
the work embraces not only general surgery but most of the 
specialties as well. Between a thousand and twelve hundred 
operations are performed annually. 
The Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat department is equipped 
for the care and treatment of all cases in this field. It 
includes facilities for bronchoscopy and esophagoscopy. 
The Dental department has three fully equipped and 
manned operating rooms where all types of dental work from 
examinations to major dental surgery are performed. All 
cases are handled in co-operation with the medical staff.

The Sanitarium’s varied equipment facilitates treatment of 
Neuro-Psychiatric Cases. In neurological cases emphasis 
is laid on accurate diagnosis, but treatment also holds an 
important place. Electrotherapy, hydrotherapy, massage, 
and diet are utilized to improve the condition of patients 
suffering from neurological lesions. 
In psychiatric cases thorough search is made for contri- 
buting organic factors. For treatment, recourse is had to 
mechanotherapy, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, occupa- 
tional therapy and, finally, sports like tennis and golf. De- 
tailed psycho-analysis is sometimes used but is less empha- 
sized. The whole organization and equipment are well 
adapted for cases requiring the so-called rest cure.

The Roentgen Ray department is well equipped with the 
necessary apparatus for all types of diagnostic work, and 
for therapy where only moderately high voltage is neces- 
sary. There are separate units for dental radiography, and 
a portable unit for bedside work. The department is under 
the direction of a physician who is specially trained in this 
branch of medicine, while the technical work is carried out 
by a group of trained assistants. 
In the Electrotherapeutic department many different 
forms of apparatus are available for the treatment of various 
conditions. Among those most extensively used are dia- 
thermy, ultra-violet light, radiant light, and blue light. 
Equipment is also complete for galvanic, faradic, sinusoidal, 
and static currents.

In the Hydrotherapeutic department are complete facili- 
ties for many types of baths. Besides tub baths, various 
shower, needle, and cabinet baths, electric or steam, are 
available. Manual rubbing or massage may be given im- 
mediately after baths. Electro-thermal baths, bubble baths, 
and the Scotch douche are used frequently for nervous 
patients. Water which is thirty per cent supersaturated 
with carbon dioxide is prepared in large quantities for the 
series of artificial carbon dioxide or Nauheim type of baths 
which is used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease. 
A Director of Dietetics and three assistants, all college 
trained women, plan and supervise all special diets. These 
are prepared in accordance with physicians’ written orders 
as to grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrate, or as to total 
calories and protein content. Dietetic advice and informa- 
tion to other than special diet patients is given only on 
physicians’ requests.

Each patient’s personal preference or former diets are 
considered as far as possible, and each patient is visited and 
instructed in the theory and application of his specific diet 
and furnished with adequate written and oral information 
as to care for his dietary needs at home. 
The occupational therapy department receives patients 
from the staff on written prescription only, and reports of 
the treatment used and the progress of each patient are 
made to the physician in writing. This plan makes occupa- 
tional therapy a strictly supplementary treatment. 
The laboratories occupy twenty rooms equipped for path- 
ology, bacteriology, serology, biochemistry, and clinical 
microscopy. The personnel consists of twelve trained work- 
ers, competent to perform any test or examination required 
by a clinician. 
Research is an important function of the medical staff. 
Results of investigations are published in The Clifton Med- 
ical Bulletin (a quarterly publication for private distribu- 
tion) and in various other journals.

LABORATORY FOR BLOOD COUNTING 
The medical library contains about five thousand bound 
volumes and several thousand reprints. Over one hundred 
journals, domestic and foreign, are received and filed. The 
Surgeon General’s and other large libraries are accessible 
when needed. 
Histories of all patients are carefully filed with the name 
and address of the home physician. This of course, facili- 
tates the study of return cases and furnishes material for 
clinical research. 
The Clifton Springs Sanitarium and Clinic School of 
Nursing, established in 1892 and chartered by the New York 
State Department of Education, provides a three year course 
including six months in obstetrics and pediatrics at the New 
York Nursery and Childs Hospital. It has an average en- 
rollment of sixty-five pupils. The instruction is thorough. 
Fall and spring are exceptionally attractive periods of 
the year for out-door pleasures. Even in winter the park 
walks are kept clear and patients may enjoy open air 
treatment.

By avoiding midsummer congestion, many patients feel 
that they benefit from more quiet surroundings and the 
opportunity for more leisurely study afforded in spring, 
fall, and winter. The Sanitarium, of course, is well adapted 
for summer vacationists who need treatment and rest. 
At both the New York Central and Lehigh Valley Rail- 
road stations at Clifton Springs, a comfortable bus meets 
all trains. An ambulance is available and will be sent to 
meet trains when its need is known in advance. Trains at 
Newark and Lyons on the New York Central main line, and 
at Canandaigua on the Pennsylvania will also be met if this 
is requested. 
The map opposite shows the best routes and approximate 
distances to the Sanitarium. 
Long Distance Telephone and a Western Union Telegraph 
office are located in the Main Building. From 8 p.m. to 8 
a.m. telegrams should be directed “care of Rochester, N. Y.” 
A separate booklet written for laymen gives much more 
general information and full travel directions. It will be 
gladly sent to physicians or their patients.
