cate OF the resident physicians, one of whom (Dr.
Stroblel Is native of this city, we perceive the

counts that it has been point with several cap
talns at different places to represent Key West
as very unhealthy; when from all accounts and
the best sources that depot is considered remark
ably free from disease originating with the eli
mate.
