Kline Sanitarium

This popular home for the sick, which is beautifully located on south Ferry street on a rolling tract of fifteen acres abutting on the left shore of the Mississippi river and on the right bank of the Rum river at the forks of the two steams above the mouth of the latter, was established in the spring of 1892, and has been under the personal supervision of Dr. James Franklin Kline, the owner, from the
beginning. The grounds have been lavishly laid out, and the landscape effects prove to any observer that the doctor is an expert not only in his own profession, but also in the field of landscape gardening, for here we find trees and shrubbery, buildings and all located just where they should be to be secure charming views up and down the great river and over the smaller stream - desiderata so essential to the many indisposed who find beneficial treatment and rest at the Sanatorium. The main building itself is a three story structure with mansard roof and is constructed of pressed brick, with partition walls and joists fitted in with solid concrete, thus making it as nearly fire proof as possible without the use of structural iron. It has fifty-four rooms all adequately heated by steam and lighted with electricity. For utility and convenience the interior arrangement of Dr. Kline's
Sanatorium is without a superior in the Northwest, and it is designed to meet every emergency in medical and surgical treatment.

Housed within this institution Dr. Kline has all the remedies known to the medical profession,
skillfully placed for immediate use, and a complete assortment of surgical instruments and appliances for quick or carefully planned operations. Nothing seems to be lacking for medical or surgical treatment.

In addition to the above, the patient who is afflicted with neurasthenia - or nervous disorders - will find in Dr. Kline's Sanatorium one of the best equipped electrical outfits in the state. The very latest practice in electrical applications is carried out, not only in the treatment of nervous troubles, but also of many other afflictions for which electricity has been demonstrated
to be of advantage. For catarrh and diseases of the respiratory organs complete spraying outfits are at hand. Baths in all forms, massage and Swedish movements are administered, and trained nurses are in constant attendance.



Just a word for Dr. Kline himself. He was born in Richville, Pennsylvania, January 4, 1862: was educated in the common schools of his native state. He graduated from Bryant & Stratton's

Business College in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1879, and later took a special business course at Archibald's Minneapolis, 1884-5. He took the medical course at the University of Minnesota, graduating in Homeopathy in 1892. He came to Anoka in 1893, since which time he has been in continuous practice. Dr. Kline was health officer for the City of Anoka several years, and for nine years has been surgeon for the Great Northern Railroad Company. He is a member of
the Royal Arcanum, Woodmen, Royal Neighbors, Workmen, and Degree of Honor, and is examiner for the local lodges of these orders, and is also examiner for the New York Life
Insurance Co. Dr. Kline was married Sept. 15, 1885, to Miss Anna Griffith, and there have been born to them Stella, Jessie and Harry.
