The necessity for Institutional treatment in cases of
Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Inebriety and Mental Dis-
orders has long been recognized.
Many other chronic diseases likewise require the special
attention possible in a well-ordered medical establishment.
Among the maladies to which Institutional Treatment is
especially applicable may be mentioned the following:
Diabetes, Obesity and other disorders requiring special
metabolism studies and individual dietaries.
Neurasthenia, Hysteria, Nephritis and other similar cases
which demand thorough diagnosis, careful treatment and
special dietetic management.
Intestinal Toxemia, the mother of most chronic ailments, in
which a change of intestinal Aora, through radical change
of diet and other special means, is essential.
In all cases requiring the use of special diagnostic methods,
close medical supervision, metabolism studies, scientifically
regulated diet and carefully graduated exercise, the Battle
Creek Sanitarium system of treatment is of highest value.

More than one thousand physicians and five thousand members of
physicians' families have availed themselves of the health oppor-
tunities offered here.
More than ten thousand invalids have sought and found relief
through institutional treatment at Battle Creek through the advice
of their family physicians..
A copy of “The Battle Creek Sanitarium System" will be mailed
free to any physician, on request.
