It is situated in the midst of the beautiful scenery which borders the shores of Lake Winnebago, the blue waters of which can be seen from its windows The grounds comprise ten acres of lawn, scattered about which are a number of large and luxuriantly foliaged oak and elm trees, inviting all, well and convalescent, to rest in their shadows. The Sanitarium was built at a cost of $48,000. It is a homelike edifice, in the Colonial style of architecture, constructed of stone and brick, with stone trimmings. It has passenger elevators, is heated by steam and hot water, lighted by electricity, and supplied throughout with hot and cold water and all modern conveniences. Wide iron balconies on the east, south and west sides, besides offering inviting opportunities for pleasant prom- enades, greatly facilitate the escape of the inmates in case of a conflagration. To suppress any incipient fire two sets of seventy-five feet of hose are on each floor connected with the water works; a turn of the valves is all that is necessary to put them into immediate use. All the rooms have electric bells, and speaking tubes connect the various apartments; there are also telephones in the building, whereby any part of the city of Fond du Lac can be reached at any hour.

AS far as its relations with the patients are concerned,theSanitarium is strictly non-sectarian. No cases are refused admission except contagious diseases, insanity, and those who, from the nature of their ailments, would occasion discomfort to the other patients. The terms for private rooms are very reasonable, and especially is this true of the wards, where patients are cared for at a little more than the price of good board. Any physician bf good repute may send patients to the Sanitarium, where they will receive the benefits of good scientific nursing and still be under the sole charge of their own physician.
