Big Sanitarium I
Tor Way a w s
On top of all the goood things sched
uled for Waycross during the next
year or two comes the announcement
that a big sanitarium is to be con
structed and operated here.
The announcement was made today
by Drs. F. C. and O. P. Folks, who
will be at the head of the new iasti<
tutlon in connection with two other
physicians, the names of whom have
not yet been made public.
It is stated positively that within
the next few weeks work will com
mence on the construction of a 50
room sanitarium, and that It will be
equipped with the most modern ap
pliances known to the medical and
surgical profession.
The ground on which the sanitarium
building is to be located has already
been selected, and in a short time
bids for the construction of same will
be asked of contractors.
Drs. Frank and Gus Folks believe
Waycross the Ideal place for such an
Institution and believe that patients
from all parts of South Georgia and
Northern Florida will come to this
city for treatment.
The building and equipment will
cost in the neighborhood of $20,000.
It will be built of wood and two stor
ies high. In'connection with the
main building there will bo cottages
for patients who have contagious dis
eases.
The operating room in the main
building will be built entirely of mar
ble, and will be so arangud that after
an operation the floor, walls and cell
ing can be thoroughly cleaned and
fumigated.
Besides the four physicians and
surgeons In charge there will be a
number of trained nurses, and there
will also be a class where ladles in
this section may receive a thorough
training as nurses and receive a di
ploma. I '
The location of the sanitarium will
be announced in the Herald in a few
days.
