Healing and helping others is a big part of my family's legacy. My mother is Myrna J Binninger (White), her grandmother, Olive, opened a healing center after her husband died. My grandfather, Clifford (Kip) Binninger worked there as a masseur in the 1930's. Here is how the article was presented in the Telegraph Herald at the time.
Great grandma Olive, this is for you, for all time, Love Joanne.
The Formal Opening of the John F. Class Health Institution
1364 White Street, Tuesday June 17, 1930, Dubuque, Iowa
In the effort to work out my own salvation I discovered and designed the John F. Class Health System. Now, at the age of seventy, I am as hale and vigorous as the average man in his thirty's-this too, despite the fact that my case was pronounced hopeless a score of years ago.
Filled with gratitude for what Health Fumes did for myself, I determined to give humanity the benefits of this wonderful achievement. Today institutions for the application of my discovery dot the country. It gives me great pleasure and satisfaction to announce the opening of the health Institution in this city under the capable direction of Mrs. Olive M. Binninger.
I invite you to attend the opening of the John F. Class health Institution at 1364 White Street-
Dubuque, Iowa, Reception from 9A.M.-5 P.M.
The new John F. Class Health Institution is now ready for service. I urge you to attend the opening.

Class health Institution in this city is vitally important to you. It offers to you the benefits of a remarkable discovery which has brought renewed health and vitality to those who at one time regarded their afflictions as incurable. This Health System employs no drugs and no medicine, but relies on Nature's own healing and rejuvenating powers for its astonishing effectiveness. Read the amazing facts presented here.
A Health Resort at Your Door
There is nothing mysterious about the John F. Class System. The principle treatment consists of enveloping the body in the fumes of scientifically compounded minerals and oils. The fumes are applied at temperatures several degrees lower than blood heat, so there is none of the weakening effects of hot vapors, liquids, or adhesives.
The fumes drive out toxins from the body through the pores of the skin and counteract infections which may be present. Thus the John F. Class Health System goes to the very root of disease.
The functions of the John F. Class System are approximated in the famous health resorts where curative waters, vapors, and mineralized alluvial deposits are provided by Nature. The benefits of health resorts-and much more- can be found at the local John F. Class Institution without spending time and money for travel.
Many Distressing Ailments Yield to Health Fume
By driving out toxins and by toning up the entire system, the John F. Class Health System assists the body in performing its natural functions. This is especially effective in the treatment of ailments affecting the muscles, joints and respiratory tracts: for example. arthritis, rheumatism, lumbago, neuritis, sciatica, colds, asthma, catarrh, bronchitis and hayfever.
Frequently the elimination of toxins and infections by means of Class Health treatments has brought relief from diseases so serious that they had been pronounced incurable. Anyone interested can examine letters from patrons in which the John F. Class Health System is credited with giving prompt and permanent relief from Bright's disease, dropsy, diabetes, eczema, malaria, gall stones, kidney trouble, ulcers of the stomach, high blood pressure, and other afflictions too numerous to mention.
A Pleasant Way to Keep Fit
Only in rare cases does sickness strike without warning. There are almost always preliminary signals of approaching physical trouble. Some of these are as follows: Headaches, vague pains in various parts of the body, nervousness, skin eruptions, insomnia, abnormal drowsiness, susceptibility to cold, indigestion, foul breath, depression, irritability. Often these symptoms cause worry and inconvenience for months or years before serious illness occurs.
If you followed a strenuous program of dieting and exercise with plenty of outdoor sunshine and fresh air, or if you lived like a primitive man as Nature intended, you could perhaps keep your body in perfect condition or even put it back into good shape after things started to go wrong. But, the pleasant, easy, practical, and inexpensive way to retain or regain your health is to have a John F. Class Health treatment once in a while.

A Few of the Many Grateful Tributes to the John F. Class Health Fume System
Rheumatism-I suffered for eight months with sciatic rheumatism and tried everything I could think of for relief. I was taken to your institution on a stretcher and carried into your office. I had not walked a step in seven weeks. It was a great surprise to my relatives and friends to see the benefit I received
in a short time. In one week I was walking and in three weeks I was well. Mrs. H. E. Rodgers, Lacona, Iowa.
Arthritis-When I was brought to your Institution I had not walked a step in two months. I was nearly helpless. I had suffered for eight years with arthritis, gradually growing worse all the time. I had tried all kinds of treatments and was about to give up when I heard of your system. After taking the treatments for six months I could walk with crutches and a little later I was able to throw them away. I am now perfectly well. My friends and relatives were more than surprised to see me walking again as physicians thought I would never be able to. I will send others to you. Greta Rittgers, Marion, Iowa.
Kidney Trouble-A year ago while suffering from an acute attack of kidney trouble I started taking your wonderful mineral fume baths and felt greatly relieved after the first six treatments. I continued taking the treatments for two months and was completely cured of my ailment. I am now enjoying good health and it is indeed a pleasure to recommend Health Fumes. Ella C. Mastorson, San Francisco, Cal.
High Blood Pressure-I have suffered for high blood pressure for over a year. The pressure was over two hundred and twenty-five. I was in the hospital for a long time and no one thought I would live. At last I went to the John F. Class Fume Institution and took about thirty treatments. Now I am entirely well, and working every day. Gilbert B. Conner, Jackson, Mich.
Neuritis-A friend recommended that I try the John F. Class Health Fume System for neuritis, with which I had been suffering for fifteen years and I am certainly grateful to say that it has cured me after taking eighteen treatments. My husband was also cured of high blood pressure. We cannot thank you enough.
