The BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM: Origin, Purposes, Methods (circa 1932)
THE BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM: An Institution for Health Reconstruction: Origin, Purposes, Methods.
The Battle Creek Sanitarium was a world-renowned health resort in Battle Creek, Michigan, United States. It started in 1866 on health principles advocated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and from 1876 to 1943 was managed by Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.
Battle Creek Sanitarium, America’s most popular medical spa of the early 20th century, may be best known as the birthplace of the corn flake. But some might say that the biggest flake to come out of Battle Creek was the man in charge: John Harvey Kellogg, the dapper doctor who typically dressed in a white suit and white shoes, often with a white cockatoo perched on his shoulder.
The entrepreneurial possibilities of the ground, thin-baked cereal dough served to the sanitarium’s patients inspired two men, C.W. Post and W.K. Kellogg, to each found his own business.
