Latitude, 43 S.; Longitude, 173 E, A*ter considerable trouble and diligent Bearch for a suitable position and town possessing a climate necessary for .the treatment of consumption, and aU other pulmonary diseases, the Proprietor and Medical Officer of the Nelson Sanatorium, after many years of travelling, during which period ha has touchel almost' all the civilised parts of the world, has selected Nelson aa bsing the " ideal " spot. The climate ?f Nelson is simply perfection, being notable for its even and regular temperature ; for the abdeiiue o[ ii-'.roe and sadden changes in the weather; f^r its mild and rational winters ; for its delightful, exhilarating and healthy atmosphere. The proprietor raving satisfied himself that Nelson was in every respect suitable for the Glapham-Combination treatment of Consumption in all its stage?, which he has disoovered (after many years of anxious study and research), realised the necessity of building a Sanatorium for the special care, nursing, and scientific treatment of patients, The Nelson Sanatorium is situated on an elevated, healthy and beautiful position, specially seleoted, which commands a magnificent view of saa, city, and mountain scenery, while tho considerable area of ground it occupies is beautifully laid out with trees and in gardens, and with such pleasing surroundings tbe 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 nader the direct supervision of Mr Olapham. The succeS3 which has attended the Glapham-Combination Cure of Consumption is Being made known far and wide, and patients are coming from foreign countries to receive treatment at the Nelson Sana torium. Of course, the details of thClapham'.Combination mode of treatment are at present kept secret, jbm for general in? formation, it is sufficient to state, magnetism plays an important part. A power is employed over which the inventor has complete oontrol, utilising electricity in a peouliar manner, and by this wonderful discovery not only the germs of this dire disease are attacked and destroyed, but tha system generally is bnilfc up and restored to its normal oondition of health. It is not, as in Dr Koch's treatment, necessary to attaok the disease with miorobes, the effect of whioh treatment has in many cases been more disastrous to the patient than the original disease. Mr Olapham intends in a short time to make known to the whole world his method of treatment, when he will have tho eatisfaotion of knowing that his life's labors have not been in vain. Ladies in any condition of bealih can depend upon receiving every qualified care and attention at the Sanatorium. In treating the various oomplaints Mr Olapham. undertakes, he employs the curative agencies of the undermentioned baths, oombined with judicious treatment of modern Botanic remedies, avoiding in every particular minerals of all descriptions. Eerbalism is fast coming to tbe front, and the old world ideas are gradually fading away. Electricity is an important faotor in my treatment of all diseases. It is used in . many ' known forms, saoh as Sweedish Movements, Manual and Meohanioal Massage— Pneumatic and Vacuum treatment, etc, etc. . Persons suffering with any nervous disorder^— Rheumatism, Soiatioa, Neuralgia, Constitutional Deoay, or any ill that flesh is heir to— will find in Mr Clapham'd BotanicElectro remedial agenoy a sure, safe, and speedy cure.
