I^I VEE.SinDE "

Is a HEALTH, or HY(iIENIC INSTITUTE for the treatment of sick persona
i)y sanitary appliaiict-H alone. 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)0<ly. What is eaten should favor the
processes of purification and reparation which are essential to recovery. By
attention to these common-sense matters we can make oiii- cures ia}>id 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. They <is.ii.^t in
balamunii thi' rirralatioii—withimt which health is imixwsibU- au.l flimiimting
impurities from the system.

ACUTE DISEASES.

In acute diseases the Hygienic System works like a charm ; and in nothing
has its merits been more thoroughly tested than in diseases of children. Scarlet
Fever, commonly so fatal among infants, yields readily to the Hygienic treatment,
and recovery is rapid. The same is true in (.'roup. Measles, Whooping (Jough,
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Morbus, and Cholera Infantum. Hygienic physi-
cians have treated hundreds of these cases, and rarely lose a patient. Lung Fever
is a disease, under drug treatment, in which a large per cent, iiroves
fatal. Hygienic physicians have treated hundred of cases, and lost )w>ic.
There is, in fact, no disease, however malignant, that i.s not greatly shorn

ol' its torrnrs mult-:- tlic; llyjiienic; i)lini oi' inwUcuti a; while the mil<U;r oiitjs
(lisjippeur ho rapidly that persouH art; apt to conchulu "there wan not much the
matter." 'I'ypus Fever, Diptheria, itc, iim usually considered (a/id justly) aa
diingerous ; yet the Hygienic systetn restores nearly all that are treated l)efore
Uiedicines havt; been resorted to.

CHRONIC DISEASES.

To those M'lio are auttering from ehroiiic diseases we offer rt'ords of eheer. The
Uygienie system is admiraldy (iieeause uatiually) adapted to diseases the most
obstinate and chronic, and otherwise hopeless. Movements alone enable the
Hygienic; physician to treat, with eminent success, clironic disease (.'(»/ dt'/onnitiea
hitherto deemed incurable. And again, when our patients are cured, otlier
diseases do not "set in." We do not believe in " curing one disease by producing
another;" instead of adding new ones, we remove the n((/.sy.s of disease, and ho
get c-id of it entirely. Persons who are in the habit of taking dnigs when sick,
will rindtheiraihnents increase, both in number and severity, so that the more they
"doctor" the more they need to ; and sooner <)r later their lives will be prema-
turely cut (»H' By employing Xo/ia-r'.-^ life-giving agents, the sick are not (mly
saved the nausea of drug-taking, and tlie sutt'ering induced by its (rrrible ifecif^,
l)ut they .s/nv- tlirr r,,i,srii,il',i>,>s. 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 <lrug treatment, four fifths of the cases treated result fatally,
while of those who, in the first stage of the disease, resort to the Hygienic method,
four-fifths recover, 'inhere is l)ut i>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

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."
