H ' si is 111 If " sinSular fact ls tnat tIlG first boom Los An- iB Sari i lllll geles ever had, and the cause which created it and Kfl I IB lllll ' which is still potent came of the idea that Los BE 9 BR Ijill Angeles was a natural sanitarium for people af- B !l J Ws llltf flicted with delicate lungs. The truth is, there is Blf J if if mill no val'y nor seashore spot in California which K j J h miff bas a good climate for people thus afilicted. The K lllll Hiifl nlr is uumIt an(1 prostrating. This is not a mere H! lIMfnilil naked statement. The proof is direct. Mr i IW Ifllr People who were residents here twenty years mK ? I lull ago w remember Dr. Standart He was an emi- HR l ''S vH I1 nont PnysicIan an(1 finished scholar. BE Sjj iLrflll When he saw that his lungs were going, he K fi IflllU i went to Los Angeles and remained until he saw mmW It ifilifl tlmt e was not ony rec0'vlnS no benefit, but was Bl tl'i ilHl swiftly losing vitality. Then he went to Honolulu mmw tvl flltl and remained there four years, until believing Bl Ma iffwl himself in the last stages of the disease, lie started mmmi I III ifllll or B eary borne in the east, to die there. Hn 1! fflU I When he reached the old Continental Hotel in fH ' Ifjl jflflH this city he was too weak to proceed farther. Hr 111 nfl Ko kept llls e for a fow clnys and tnen feeling iff MP' fill I better, he one day crawled out and walked a few Bl 'H t steps. The next days he took a longer walk. In Y 'ill If a montu ue Put out n,B slsn as a physician. If Bju ff'pjf I we remember correctly, he practiced his profes- H f , I sion steadily here for eight years, until the little HP ill 1 1 I remnant of one lung that he brought here gave IBt ml ill out an e BP I If But e wrote a scientific paper explaining why B Sill tlie tal3l Jands between the Sierras and Rocky mmWt 9M Mountains were the very best place on the conti- P 8 I H nGnt or pePle wn weak lungs. The subject H! fl 1 H I was dealt with from a striotly scientific stand- Hi to ' i i point. We think the great daily papers of this Br ill I 1 B cIty should republish that paper and have it ready H mill for Wbutlon when the one-lunged men from 'ffl ' 1 I I Los AnSlGS como bere to celebrate the opening m 1 I B of tla0 new road' BL l 1 I Tlie trutl1 Is California's reputation as a good b! 9Hii fi I ' place for persons with weak lungs Is a stolen I I I reputation. Ill 1 I In tno old Argonaut days, hundreds and thou- fl 1 K sands of people with delicate lungs started across 9 l i fl; tno Plains for California. The necessities of the w iH I li I journey compelled them to live day and night in mmt mm m m tho opon aIr Tho fat,SUQ lnddent upon tho jour- Vi I'l if ney made tbem hungry, and they ate more bacon yBj 9 if on tue way than they had over eaten in their HhV 81 H lives. Now bacon is about as strengthening as HhJS '" H H codllver oil. The result was that when they had hJhI 8 Wfi been two weeks on the road they felt batter.

B, Lf IIIl The butchers here will all testify that they in Sw 8 11 mV dressing beeves often find lungs in cattle that at Hr'wtlr l iHw. some time ha4 been diseased, but later, in this Bh ll f3lf Bant air had perfectly healed. BbsssbssssssssbssscbssssssbbsssBbssBbsssI These facts should supply a hint to real estate men here and property-owners generally. Right now is the time to move for a great sanitarium. Think df the advantages; the climate, the scenery, th great lake and the medicinal hot springg all clustered here. Why, much greater cities than this in Germany are supported almost entirely upon the virtues that are supposed to lurk in their springs. They have no springs superior to tnose right here. They have no lake like Salt Lake, no climate such as this. But the sanitarium should be no cheap affair. It should be extensive, and should fill every modern requirement. All manner of bathing should be supplied, including hot water salt baths, the water to come from the Great Lake. There should be ample grounds with cottages; there should be music, a gymnasium, a complete affair to catch the eyes and satisfy the tastes and desires of people. Started and carried on In an enlightened way and it alone would cause the population pop-ulation of this city to double ln tmeen years. The only thing is to once turn the crowd this way, the surroundings will do the rest. |
