From text: ""Well understanding that no locality can be uniformly improved unless under the sole control of a single person or a syndicate, Eggleston, Mallette & Brownell also bought Auburn Park. Then they immediately commenced to carry out their avowed plan of making their two purchases as attractive a subdivision as labor and abundant means could produce. That they have accomplished their object, none can gainsay. Briefly stated, this property extends from Seventy-first street to Seventy-ninth, and is bounded on the East by State street, and has Wallace avenue for a Western boundary, being one mile by one half mile in size. It is the first rise of any consequence back from the lake, and is so well elevated as to allow of laying the pipes of its complete sewer system eight and ten feet below the surface of the ground. A large and natural growth of oak trees are everywhere seen besides which, tall and beautiful elms border either side of the walks."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/394172016-08-11T15:00:14Z2023-11-30T16:48:07ZLibby Prison MuseumCaption: "[Engraved for The Standard Guide Company.] Libby Prison Museum, Wabash Ave., South.

[See "Keeley Institute."]". From text: "An illustration of the method pursued is given in this work. This shows Dr. Keeley in the foreground, noting the condition of patients as they pass from the hands of the operating physicians. The four daily hypodermic injections are given in the left arm, a slit being made in the shirt sleeves of the patients, as a rule, although many prefer to roll the sleeve up to the shoulder. At each operating table there are two physicians, one to use the needle, the other to see that patients are provided with remedies for minor indispositions. The former observes closely the pupils of the eyes of every patient as he approaches, of these (in the position of Dr. Keeley as shown in the engraving) who takes each patient by the wrist after treatment, as he passes out, to note the temperature of the body, condition of the skin, dilation of pupil, etc., and also enquires regarding the general health of the subject. One line is usually reserved for new patients, and the physician who is detailed to attend to the duty last named, in this line, also supplies the liquor required in two-ounce, four-ounce or eight-ounce bottles, as the case may be. No patient is refused whisky. Just so long as he desires it, it is freely given. He usually declines it twenty-four hours after the treatment has begun."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/394092016-08-11T15:00:14Z2023-11-30T16:48:06ZWellington HotelCaption: "[Engraved for The Standard Guide Company.] Wellington Hotel, Wabash Ave. and Jackson St. [See "Hotels."]" From text: "Located on Wabash avenue and Jackson street.

[See "Relic House."]". From text: "The most interesting and ornamental monument of the fire is the "Relic House," well known to North-Siders and Lincoln Park visitors. In 1872, when the "leavings" of the fire could be had for the asking or the trouble of picking them up, a man named Rettig conceived the idea of building a small cottage out of such material as a melted mixture of stone, iron and other metals. The queer structure was built at North Park avenue and Central street. Ten years ago it was removed to its present site near the junction of Clark street and North Park avenue (take North Clark street cable line), Philip Vinter becoming the proprietor. Four years afterwards the "Relic House" passed into the hands of its present owner, William Lindemann, who has added a refreshment parlor to the saloon and made quite a rustic spot out of the relic."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/394182016-08-11T15:00:14Z2023-11-30T16:48:07ZUnion Stock YardsCaption: "[Engraved for The Standard Guide Company.] Union Stock Yards, Looking toward the Exchange.

The theatre was built for Mr. Henderson, and arranged with the idea in mind of the subsequent production upon a basis never before seen in this country of spectacular extravaganza. For five years Mr. Henderson has each season given to Chicago a production of musical burlesque, on a scale beside which everything else in that line ever attempted in America shrinks to pigmy proportions."University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Librarytag:digital.library.illinois.edu,2005:Item/394072016-08-11T15:00:14Z2023-11-30T16:48:06ZGeorge B.

[See "Keeley Institute."]. From text: "Probably no discovery in medicine has been productive of so much intelligent discussion or so much widespread interest during recent years as that made by Leslie E. Keeley, M.D., and it is certain that the workings of no medical institution in the world have been observed with closer attention among all classes of people during the past three years, than that which is known as The Keeley Institute, of Dwight, Ill. This stands alone, among the institutions of Illinois. It is something so original, so novel, so unique, that the compiler has found it impossible to place it under any established classification. It must be treated in relief. It is not a hospital. It is not an asylum. It is not a sanitarium. It is not a reformatory. It is all of these in one, and yet it differs from them in so many essential points .... The buildings which compose the Keeley Institute at Dwight consist of a beautiful structure, known as the "Laboratory," in which the general accounting rooms and offices of the physicians are located ...
