'Round and About the San Devotional MABEL BLACK ..- HE devotional services of the Sanitarium consist of the morning worship, ew ' , . . , , Q E5 the prayer meeting, Missionary Xolunteer meeting and the Sabbath services. l,Ae . . . The Patients meet each morning in the parlor for their worship, the serviee being conducted by the chaplain. Here our guests who are able to be there meet with the Great Physician and tind rest for their weary souls. Though human effort may at tinies fail to bring about the desired result, God is always abundantly able to supply all our needs. It is at our XVednesday night prayer meeting that we really get close to God. l'Sweet hour of prayer, Sweet hour of prayer, That calls us front a world of care And bids us at our Father's throne Make all our wants and wishes known. Friday evening at 7:15 linds the chapel weli tilled. Every one enioys the Mis- sionary Volunteer meetings, for the ineinliers of this society are live wires and eive good, interesting proerains, Nu elifort is required to keep wide awake here. The Day of all the week the best is the Sabbath day. VVhat a blessed privi- lege it is after the busy cares of the week It: meet for the study of the day's lesson! Here we mingle our voices in song and prayer and our hearts are refreshed as we drink of the living water. Following the Sabbath School is the usual preaching service. Then as the Day is dying in the west, We wend our way to the parlor. There we find the orchestra to add charm to the old hymns we all love. After a short stay here, as we quietly break away, we wonder just what it is that makes those sacred hymns so near and dear to us! I wonder! ls not this the secret?-They lead its to worship at the feet of the Saviour of mankind. X-ray and Laboratory Fiuxk L. TXTARSII f oit door suddenly swings wide and a shuttle of stretcher bearers' feet ,Jig I. HE r 1 fbi is heard in the hall. XX'here to? The X-ray room of course. There a large, new machine is waiting and makes possible a hurried examination be- gs, neath the Huoroseope to rind what is broken. The breaks in the bones are plainlv visib'e and accurate repairs are made. Truly, our splendid machine is a sgodsehd to the doctor in enabling him to look in and see the trouble, whether it be fracture, gall-stones, stenosis, dilatation, or ulcers. If there is an outside call or a call to a room, the little portable X-ray is ready to be carried right to the spot. Either machine is outtitted to treat with X-rays, do a Huoroscopie, or take any picture. The tilms are developed in that well-ar- ranged dark room just oft' from the waiting room and office. These four conipaetly arranged rooms with their equipment are ready to meet any demands which may be made in a modern X-ray department. ' Fifty-three

I:Fj-Fl- 'S I Let as step across the hall into this little vestibule. Before us is the laboratory suite. Now for a glance through this open dispensing window to our right into the pharmacy. Unch! my nose! Never mind, a nurse has just been getting some asafetida, that is all, See that tub of massage cream, and the bottles! VVhat is in that large bottle up there? Oh surely, alcohol for rubs. What a. lot of gargles, ointments, and pills it takes for a hospital, anyway! Now let us look into the laboratory through this open window to our left. O-o-o! what a pungent odor. Mr. Laboratory Man, did you forget to cork that Purdy's Reagent bottle? See the microscopes, and all the apparatus for the clinical analysis work, and the rows of bottles! W'hat is'that man doing with so many little test tubes in a rack? Can you see through that door over in the corner? There are barrels of alcohol glycerine, and mineral oil, and would you look at the bottles and boxes! That is the supply room. Did I hear a squeak? VVell yes, bless me, if there aren't some guinea pigs! Poor little things, waiting to give some of their blood or perhaps their very lives to help suffering human beings! 1 Does your thyroid bother you? You do not know? Well, then just step into this next room. There is the metabolism machine which will tell you if your goiter is serious or not. So, briefly, this is the X-ray and laboratory department, which under the able management of Mr. Ford with his corps of assistants is a very vital part of our institution. Treatment Rooms FRANK B. LOVELL 5 OW do you do, Mr Payne. I am delighted to see you again. Is this your first visit to Hinsdale? E ,x Yes, it is. I have long wished I might see the place, but until now 9-9iJ it has never been my privilege. Several years ago a sister of mine was here for three months as a patient and I became especially interested through her. Is that right? Then her satisfaction must .have led you to investigate. I am at liberty for a short time now, is there anything I can do for you? Yes, Mr. Barnes, I should be glad to visit your hydrotheraphy department. I have already heard a great deal about it and it's beneficial results. Very well. XVe will go down stairs. This is the ladies' treatment room at our left. VVIC will pass directly to the 1nen's, This is the general waiting room, Mr. Payne. These small rooms to this side are the dressing booths. Here to our right are the treatment tables where the patient lies while Various kinds of treat- ments are given him. The fomentations are heated in this steam tank. There is no question about their being hot. These hot treatments of different kinds that we give are mo:- excellent for getting rid of a heavy cold. If you have never taken them, you can scarcely imagine the difference they make in one's feelings. This large, white box you see is our electric light cabinet. See how hot it gets when I turn on all the lights! Here in the corner is our Russian room. just notice while I let the steam in, The patient lies here on the table with his head outside while the rest of the body is enveloped in the hot steam.
