Excerpt from Life of Henry Foster, Founder Clifton Springs Sanitarium
Pursuant to a continuing and growing desire on the part of the Board of Trustees of the Clifton Springs Sanitarium, and a host of its friends, that the biography of Dr. Foster, the founder of the Sanitarium, be written and published, the Executive Committee of the Board, upon the request of Superintendent Malcolm S. Woodbury, in February 1919, asked Rev. Samuel H. Adams, D.D., to do the literary part of such work, they to assume the responsibility of its publication in book form. This book is now completed.
The selection of Dr. Adams for this work was most wise because of his long and continuous acquaintance with Dr. Foster; he having known him from 1880 to the time of his death in 1901, and because of his intimate acquaintance with the Sanitarium as chaplain, having served in this capacity from 1898 to 1915.
But for the decease of Dr. Woodbury, which occurred on January 6th, 1921, this "foreword" would have been penned by him. It was his hope and expectation that this book be commonly read by the patrons of the Sanitarium in order that Dr. Foster might be known to all such; for to know him is to understand the why and the wherefore of the Clifton Springs Sanitarium. May this hope and expectation be fully realized.
