Drs. STRONGS,
REMEDIAL INSTITUTE,
ON CIRCULAR,
BETWEEN SPRING AND PHILA STREETS,
Is unsurpassed for beauty of location and accessibility to the
principal Springs. This Institution was established in 1855, for the
special treatment of
Lung, Female and Various Chronic Diseases.
During the Fall and Winter the Institute has been doubled in size to
meet the necessities of its increased patronage. It is now the largest
health institution in Saratoga, and is unsurpassed in the variety or
its remedial appliances by any in this country. In the elegance and
completeness of its appointments, it is unequaled. The building is
heated by steam, so that in the coldest weather the air of the house
is like that of Summer.
The proprietors, Drs. S.S. and S.E. Strong, are graduates of the
Medical Department of the New York University, and are largely
patronized by the medical profession.
In addition to the ordinary remedial agencies used in general practice
they employ
THE EQUALIZER OR VACUUM TREATMENT,
ELECTRO THERMAL BATHS,
SULPHUR AIR BATHS, RUSSIAN BATHS, TURKISH BATHS,
HYDROPATHY, SWEDISH MOVEMENT CURE,
Oxygen Gas, Gymnastics, &c, &c.
For particulars of the Institution, call or send for Circulars on
Lung, Female and Chronic Diseases and on our Appliances. Address
