It is situated tMo miles above Niagara Falls, on the Baakd of the Niagara River, and affords a splendid view of the River and Rapitls above the Falls. The scenery is all that could be desired ; the air is most salubrious ; the surrounding country abounds with the choicest fruits. Those ad- vantages combine to make our location all that can be desired. Add to this our close proximity to the Falls, and our centrjil position, and it must be admitted that our location i^ not excelled by aTiy on the continent. THE BUILDINGS Vcre put up without regard to expense, and rve attractive in appearance, conveni- ently arranged, with commodious rooms. The arrangements for heating and 'ventilation an; so arranged as to admit a continued supply of pure air, which is heated liy a well arranged furnace before it is distributed to the different apart- ments ; and the arrangements for the disposition of exhausted air are ample. The most thorough arrangements are provided for exercise, in doors, as well as out. A commodious room is l)eing fitted up, and will be supplied with the most ap- pi'oved machinery for the administration of the celebrated SivediNh movemente. THE OBJECTS of this Institution are two-fold : (1) 'V\\*i treat nimt and cakp: of persons suffering from the various diseases incident to our climate ; and (2) to furnish a pleasant HOME for those who wish to spend a short time in the vicinity of the Falls. MY PRACTICE Previous to my coming here was attended with maiked success, which is the result of a thorough knowledge of the principles upon which the Hygienic method of treatment is based, combined with my own experience as an INVALID who was (jiveii II /I to ijii-. From the date of the connnencement of my recovery (March, 1858) to the present time, the. study of diseased conditions, and their treatment, has been the most intei-csting subject that has been presented to my mind. Patients, during their stay with us, will become so well acquainted with our different processes, as to be, in large measure, their own "Doctor'" alter return iiig to their lionies. They not only learn how to get well, but, what is better, how to avoid getting sick. HvdiKNic Mkdioatrvs- is the process of curing the sick by such agents only as are conducive to he»Itk., Its advocates do not believe in poisoning people Vjecausc ^ they are siek ; nor ilo they believe that swaU owing sultHtancei; wliich would make a well mail siuk can make a sick man well. Let the strongest, healthiest man take, on retiring, an ordinary dose ot calomel, lobelia, ipecacnianha, podophyllurr, or mix vomica ; will his sleep be as refreshing, his digestion as perfect, next morning, and his strength as vigorous as before '! Or let him take daily, for a few weeks, powders of quinine, such as are commonly given for "chills ;"- -he will mit repeat the experience of thousands when his blunted sensibilities, his stifltened limlis and his aching bones reveal the fact that his whole nervous system is shattered, and pei-haps ruined for life. Will the sick man who swallows these poisons fare better '1 The Hygienic System employs exrlimi-cfi/ the self-same agents, l)()th to maintain health and to cure the sick — the only distinction being that we nullify the appli- cation of these agents to ..•< II if thi- roiiilithw dfthi' iiidiniliitd. We take X/////v'.s Materia AMira, viz : Air, Light, 'remperature. Electricity, Magnetism, Exercise, Iteat, Food, Drink, Bathing, Sleep, Clothing, Passional Influences, and Mechanical or Surgical Appliances. From these we cull and oombint, and so apply as to meet the demands of every patient, and of every known disease. Our method is adapted to the wants of all. Prominent among our remedial api)liances are the following : — BATHING. in most forms of chronic disease, and in all forms of acute, we prescribe batlis more or less, and we use water in various ways. But the ])athing processes, simple as they seem, are not to be trifled with by inexperienced hands. A single bath injudiciously taken, might cause harm to the patient ; and yet, if properly admin- istered, might be just what is needed. Besides the bathing appliances Of an ordinary "water-cure," we have Russian, Turkish and sun-baths, which will be in successfixl ojieration at all seasons. die: In all cases of disease, acute or chronic, we deem it important to adapt the (Het of the patient to the condition of the 1)0id as well as thorough MOVEMENTS. Movements, like all other Hygienic agencies, pre-supposes on tiie part of the physician a tiiorough acquaintance with the functions of tiie various organs of the body; else his movements might result in harm instead of good.

After the purifying process is over, they rise from their beds, not with aches and pains and swollen limbs, but feeling as if life had been renewed. CONSUMPTION. Probably, under iic iin'thoil h;/ irliirli roiisiimpfioii rmi hi' nireil. That method consists in rUalamn the blood corpuscles, and changing the cohn- of that fluid to a bright scarlet. !f this is done before the disease has progressed too far, it will be arrested, ami the patient will be saved. The Hygienic system. when hitelligently administered, most admirably accomplishes this desiraJde result. On the other hand, the treatment with medicines poisons the Idood and prevents the recovery of the patient. 'I'here is a time, in the progress of this disease, when no earthly power can .^ave. Thousands have lost their lives with consumption by depending on patent medicines that are so persi-^tently advertized in almost every newspaper in the country. 'I'he Cod-Liver Oil and Alcoholic treatment is. also, as unscieiitifii^ and fatal as it is (unnmon in the treatment of this disease. " ' DISEASES or WOMEN. The Hygienic system presents facilities for treating thost; cbstinate diseases with which women are aftiicted. and by its aid we shall be able to do for woman- kind what the ordinary metlKxls of treatment can never hope to accomplish. Movements are worth more in these cases than all t)ie supports, braces, pessaries, &c. in existence, in most cases these troubles are caused by a w^eakened condi- tion of the muscidar system ; iience -/// the Hygienic appliances can be ma.le avail- able with decided avantage. TO MAKRIED WOMEN. Tiie Hygienic sy.stem lessens the dangers incident to raising a fandly to a degree that is scarcely credible, except to those win. are acquainted with the results. Fatal hemorrhage, puerperal fever, &c. . together with accidents, so connnon / CV-. ^<'//fr's at present to mother iiud eliild, are alin(>«t iiiikiiown in thin .scliool ot practice. Freedom f -om those clangers depend hirgely upon jjrevious hal)its and management. SPERMATORHOEA. Young men wlio have injured their health hy injudicious practices will rtnd a ready means of restoring their lost energies liy undergoing a course of treatment at our Institution. The common practice of administering medicines in thoae eases, is as injurious as it is unscientific. THE VIRTUES OF HYGIENE. "As we place more ccmtidtnce in Nature, and less in preimrations of the apothecary, mortality diminishes. ' "Hygiene is of far more value in the treatment of disease than drugs." PROF. W. PARKER. M. I). "The more simjjie the treatment in infantile diseases, the hctfcr the result." PROF. P.. F. BARKER, M. D. " Many different plans hase been tried for the cure of consumption, but the results of all the trials liave been unsatisfactory. We are not acquainted with any agents that will cure consumption. We muxf rcli/ on /Ii/(/ie)i<'." PROF. AEOxN'ZO CLARK, M, I). " My preceptor used to give cn/orri/ ir"fi'r to \\\s hospital pitients, It was U' ticed that tho.se who took the water rccDvered more ra}>idly thiin those of another iJiysician who bled his patients." PHOF. J. W. CARSON, M. D. " I wish thj Materia Medira was in Muinea, and that you would study Mafcrht. Alrnit'iitarkt. You are taught learnedly about Materia Medica. And but little about diet. We will have less of doctors when people eat to live." PROF. W. PARKER, M. D "The chief duty of the accoucheur is to protect his patitmt from the meddle- some interference of her frien.ls. " During a practice of twenty-eight years, 1 have applied the forceps hut. nucr in my own i)ractice." PROF. C. R. OILMAN, M. 1). " A spontfe liath will ofteii ilo more to quiet a restless, feverish patient than iodine." " A hundred different and unsucces.sful plans have been tried for the cure of cholera I think I shall leave my ])atients, hereafter, nearly entirely to Nature ; as I have seen patieiits al)andoned to die, and. h-/f fa Nature, recomr, while patients died who were treated."
