>>What (if any) difference is there between a Sanatarium and Sanitorium?<<



>From Wikipedia:


"A sanatorium (also sanitorium, sanitarium) is a medical facility for
long-term illness, most typically associated with treatment of tuberculosis
(TB) before antibiotics. A distinction is sometimes made between
"sanitarium" (a kind of health resort, as in the Battle Creek Sanitarium)
and "sanatorium" (a hospital)."
