THE NATIONAL HEALTH MAGAZINE ST. HELENA SANITARIUM Nestled among scenic foothills, on the sunny slopes of Howell Moim- tain, like some great, white jewel, in a setting of wonderful landscape, is one of the most beautiful, and at the same time one of the most scien- tifically conducted, institutions in all California. THE ST. HELENA SANITARIUM is a refuge, a haven, a veritable Paradise for the sick, the invalid, and those who need rest and re- cuperation. Its hospitable doors are open to all who are sick, and everywhere is the environment of kindness and good cheer. The san- itarium is the retreat of the cultured and refined, affording the advantages of a thoroughly scientific institution, where Nature, the physicians, and the surgeons work hand in hand for the alleviation of human ills. Located sixty-five miles north of San Francisco, in a little hamlet all its own, it is so peaceful, so placid, so serene, that it seems as though it were in a world apart. The main building and cottages wholly lack the depressing atmosphere of a hos- pital. Apply for beautifully illustrated booklet " E." Address THE ST.
