Historical Background	Sanitariums became popular in the late 19th century as hospitals for Tuberculosis, as good food, fresh air, and plenty of rest were the most effective treatment available at the time. The Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan was operated by John Harvey Kellogg from 1876-1942, and promoted good health and fitness through diet, exercise, correct posture, fresh air, and proper rest. Over time, many sanitariums became resort-style retreats where guests relaxed and enjoyed healthy food and regular exercise. Southern California's mild climate made the area a particularly appealing destination for individuals suffering from respiratory ailments. The Long Beach Sanitarium advertised such courses of treatment as the milk diet and rest cure, and had electric and mechanical Swedish departments.
