The record names the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan, a health resort that drew patients and visitors from across the country for its regimens of diet, exercise and hydrotherapy. Under the direction of John Harvey Kellogg, who ran it for decades, the institution became well known well beyond medicine, and its name carried weight in American health reform at the turn of the twentieth century. The photograph came from the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that distributed news and feature images. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified agency notes, so the exact moment captured is uncertain.
