AND.-HAvANA December 10, lo4l-lt has long
been matter of regret the inhabitants OF this city
that, on the arrival of nvaids from the United States
with letters of introduction IT has never been IN their
power to recommend them suitable residence IN
the country Ii has therefore been necessary for
such persons either to take up their abode in the
hotels In town. where the noise and hustle of crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of a country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect or they compelled to go to
places in the country where 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. -
From due consideration Of this want, and OF the
great benefit that would be derived by myalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent
climate Of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
vded for them the subscriber medical practitioner

tate comprise about five hundred acres The Buena

and is thus, in great measure sheltered from the
chilly winds which and then blow from the north

Windsor of Cuba The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts indispensable to

ing in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
