"WALNUT LODGE HOSPITAL," HARTFORD, CONN.
A Private Asylum for the Special Treatment of ALCOHOL and OPIUM INEBRIATES.
This Institution was founded in 1878 on the modern view that Inebriety is a Disease and Curable. Each case is made the subject of special study and special medical treatment, suited to meet the exact requirements of the case.
This is accomplished by Turkish and Saline Baths, with Electricity, Massage and various other appliances which Art, Science and experience have proved to be valuable.
Each one is under the direct personal care of the physician and attendant, and experience shows that a large proportion of these cases are restored by the application of exact means and remedies.
Application for admission, terms and letters of inquiry, should be addressed,

HARTFORD GRAMMAR SCHOOL .- 89 Hopkins st.
A classical school was founded in Hartford in 1688, which was partly supported by the town and partly by tuition fees. It received its first bequests in 1655, 1659, 1664 and 1680. The town for more than a century managed this school, when they petitioned in 1798 for an act of incorporation, and it was thus continued until 1847 under the corporate name of the Hartford Grammar School, when it was merged with the Classi- cal Department of the Hartford Public High School. Previous to this merging, the school was held in a two story brick building on the southwest part of Lin- den place. It is free to residents of Hartford. Amount of funds Sept. 1, 1895. $50,000.00
