The object of the Adirondack Sanitarium is to offer to persons in the first stages of 
lung disease, and who otherwise could ill afford the expense of a sojourn in these moun- 
tains, the benefits to be derived from a.change of climate, a well-regulated out-of-door 
life amidst hygenic surroundings, a‘ nourishing diet and the latest and most approved 
methods of medical treatment. Experience has shown that nowhere can the necessary 
daily regulation of the patient’s life and habits be so successfully carried out as in a 
Sanitarium, and that the most favorable results in combatting the disease have been at- 
tained in institutions devoted to this special purpose. There is no doubt in the history 
of most cases of consumption a time when restoration to health might take place if the 
patient could for a while give up his occupation and care and obtain a change of climate 
and surroundings. The Sanitarium offers such an opportunity at a most moderate cost 
($5 a week) which barely covers the necessary expenses for table. The institution will 
accommodate about sixty patients, and is not intended as an asylum for hopeless cases, 
but as a means of arresting incipient disease and restoring health. 
The cottage plan has been adopted, and cottages sheltering from two to four inmates 
only are clustered around a commodious main building where the dining room and gen- 
eral sitting rooms are situated. This obviates the evil effects and inconveniences which 
often result from the aggregation of too many patients in one building, renders necessary 
constant short walks, and insures quiet when needed. In the winter the carriage exer- 
cise or sleigh rides are furnished as often as possible free of cost. 
The deficiency in the running expenses of the institution are made up by donations 
and subscription. GLASS OF PATIENTS. 
Only those who are in the first stages of consumption or convalescing from other 
pulmonary diseases, who in the opinion of the examining physicians are likely to be bene- 
fited by the sanitarium treatment, and "whose circumstances are such as to admit of 
their paying only the low price demanded here for board, are admitted to the cottages. 
All applicants for admission to cottages, from a distance, must be examined by Dr. 
A. L. Loomis, personally, and have a written certificate of suitability as a patient from 
him, addressed to Dr. Trudeau, or they will not be admitted 'those nearer the cottages 
may apply directly to Dr. Trudeau for admission. 
ADMISSION. 
Patients must present themselves at the Sanitarium within 2 weeks of the day they 
are examined by Dr. Loomis or they will not be admitted. 
All applicants to either Drs. Loomis or Trudeau must have a letter from their home 
physician certifying to the genuineness of their application, when they will be examined 
free of charge, otherwise the regular fee for examination will be charged. 
Dr Alfred L. Loomis, of 19 West 84th St., New York city, and Drs. E. L. Trudeau 
and C. F Wicker, of Saranac Lake, N. Y., give their services free of cost to all patients.

pansion is deemed necessary. Patients will be charged only for the medicines used, the 
instrument and operator being furnished for the present free of cost. 
There are no extra charges except in cases of sudden and serious illness, when the

eaugay R. R. from Plattsburgh direct to Saranac Lake village.
