A check-girl near him was singing: "Out in the shimmee sanitarium The jazz-mad nuts reside.
Thus the landscape painter sees in a lake a fine subject, the angler an opportunity to fish, the business man a chance to establish a sanitarium or a steamboat line, the yachtsman a place for his pleasure trips, the heat tormented person a chance for a bath, and the suicide, death.
He started to make a circuit, going along the edge of the cliff, for he thought there might be a gateway in the fence. As he was moving cautiously along, looking for an opening, he was startled by a sudden challenge: "Who are you, and what do you want?" Frank glanced up, to see a man looking at him, The fellow was attired in the uniform of an attendant at the sanitarium.

There are seasons when the Pennsylvania University seems to have bred its wealth of doctors for the express purpose of marshaling a dying world to the curative shelter of Atlantic City. The trains are encumbered with the halt and the infirm, who are got out at the doors like unwieldy luggage in the arms of nurses and porters. Once arrived, however, they display considerable mobility in distributing themselves through the three or four hundred widely-separated cottages which await them for hire.

"I am not satisfied about that carriage affair," returned Tom, as bluntly as ever.

As for Mrs. Robinson" he laughed slightly "she keeps a private sanitarium, but just now has no patients.
I shouldn't have come out to-day as it is so wet, but I had some new shot shells I wished to try in order to test them before the hunting season. But if I can get to the sanitarium, I will be well taken care of. I know one of the doctors there."
