        ELSIE MARTINSON GILBERT, M. D. One of the prominent representatives of
women in the medical profession in Florida, Doctor Gilbert has practiced at
Tampa for a number of years, but now gives her entire attention to the Tampa
Sanitarium, of which she is the founder and proprietor.
	Doctor Gilbert was born near Council Bluffs, Iowa, February 8, 1874.
She was educated in the public schools there, and at Wells, Minnesota, and
graduated from the American Medical Missionary College at Battle Creek,
Michigan, in 1900. Later she entered the Medical Department of the University
of Illinois, at Chicago, was graduated M. D. in 1908 and for several years was
engaged in practice at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. After coming to Florida in
1908, she practiced at Tampa, and in 1912 she bought a building on North
Seminole Heights, which she converted and equipped as the Tampa Sanitarium, a
modern institution that carries out the same policy of service in treatment as
that found in the famous Battle Creek Sanitarium. The Sanitarium makes a
specialty of chronic and nervous diseases. Patients come to the Tampa
Sanitarium from all over the state and other states.
	Dr. Gilbert is a member of the Hillsborough County, State and American
Medical associations and the Southern Medical Association.
	June 19, 1910, she married A. D. GILBERT, who has charge of the Men’s
Department in the Sanitarium. They have no children of their own, but are
rearing three and giving them all the care and love of parents.
