such persons either to take up their abode in the
hotels i'm town where the noise and hustle of a crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of a couatry life prevent their de
iymg that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect or they are compelled to go TO
places in the country where no adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner OF living,
are in no wIse calculated for persons IN delicate
state of health.
