The Sanitarium Patients at Goguac Lake addresses a specific health institution and Ellen White's counsel regarding patient care, institutional management, and medical missionary work conducted there. Goguac Lake sanitarium represented Adventist health work expansion, and this pamphlet provided guidance for operation. Counsel typically addressed: maintaining spiritual atmosphere while providing medical care, treating patients as souls to save not merely cases to cure, training staff in both medical and spiritual ministry, financial management, facility maintenance, and relationships with local community. White emphasized that sanitarium work serves dual purpose—restoring health and revealing truth—requiring workers who combine medical skill with genuine Christian compassion. The pamphlet demonstrates practical application of medical missionary principles in specific institutional context.
