A delightful time was had by all present at the reception when tea and other refreshments were served. Guests present were led in an inspection of the different parts of the imposing sanatorium building.

The new sanatorium represents the latest and most up-to-date medical institutions Shanghai has yet seen. Situated far from the hustle and bustle of the city and surrounded by small farms and vegetable gardens on Hungjao Road, the sanatorium will be haven for the ill and for those who want peace and rest.

Architectural design for the new sanatorium was first conceived about 1 year and half ago by Dr. Fonzien G. Ede, a returning student from Germany. The total cost of the building, with sanitation and heating facilities, is approximately US$130,000 while the interior furnishings and medical equipment bring the total cost of the project to approximately US$200,000.
