For the cnuse that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, Foa the future in the distance, And the good that we can do. THE SAMTORIUM, NELSON, Founded 1891, under the auspices of the Mayor and members of the Nelson City Council, For the Special Care, Nursing, and Scientific Treatment of Invalids. Telegraphic address— P. 0. Box j Claphajt, Nelson. 16 Medical Superintendent— Hehbebt Clapham, Practicing Medical Botanist, Nelson, New Zealand. Latitude, 48 B.—Longitude, 173 E. After considerable trouble and diligent search for a suitable position and town possessing a climate necessary for the treatment of consumption, and all other pulmouary diseases, the Proprietor .and Medical Officer of the Nelson Sanatorium, after uiauy years of travelling, during which period he has touched almost all the civilised parts of the world, has selected Nelson »s being the " ideal" spot. The climate of Nelson is simply peifection, bang noted for its even and regular temperature ; for the absence of fierce and sudden changes in the i weather; for its mild and rational winters ; for its delightful, exhilarating and healthy atmosphere. Theproprietor having satisfied himself thi.t'Nelson was in every respect suitable for the Clapham-combination treatment of Consumption in all its stages, which he has discovered after many years of anxious study and research realised the necorsity of building a Sanatorium for the speeial care, nursing, and scientific treatment of patients. The Nelson Sanatorium is situated on an elevated, healthy, and beautiful position, specially selected, which commands a magnificent view of the sea, city, and mountain scenery, while the considerable area of ground it occupies is beautifully laid out with trees and in gardens, and with such pleasing surroundings the life of the sick patient is made less monotonous.
The Sanatorium is replete with every comfort, while the sanitary arrangements cannot be excelled, and patients receive every possible attention from trained nurses and servants engaged under the direct supervision of Mr Clapham. Tiie success which has attended the Claplmni-combinnlion ~ure of consumption is he,ug known far and wide, and patients are coming from foreign oouutries to receive treatment at the Nelson Sanatorium Of course, the details of the Olopiiam - combination mode of treatwunt are at present kept secret, but for general information it is snfficient to state magnetism p ays an important part. A power is employed over which the inventor has complete control, utilising el-ctricity in a peculiar manner, and by this wonderful discovery not only the g ring of this diin disease are attacked and destroyed, but the syatorr generally is built up and restored tj its normal condition of health. It is not, as in Dr Koch's treatment, necessary to attack the disease with microbes, the effect ol which treatment has, in many cases been more disastrous to the patient than the original disease, Mr Clapham Intends in a short time to make known to the whole world his method of treatment, when he will have the satisfaction of knowing that his life's labours have not been in vain. Ladies in any condition of health can depend upon receiving every qualified care and attention at the sanatorium. In treating the various complaints Mr Clapham undertakes, he employs ! the curative agencies of the undermentioned baths, combined with judicious treatment of modern Botanic remedies, avoiding in every particular minerals of all descriptions. Herbalism is fast coming to the front, and the old world ideas are gradually fading away. Electricity is an important factor in my treatment of all diseases. It is used in many known forms, such as Sweedish Movements. Manual and Mechanical Massage Pneumatic and Vacuum treatment, etc., etc. Persons suffering with any nervous disorders—. Rheumatism, Sciatica, Neuralgia, Constitutional decay, or any ill that flesh is heir to—will fbd in Mr Clapham'B Botanic Eleero remedial agency a sure, safe and speedy cure.
