ISLAND OF CUBA.

rINo INVALlDS AND PERSONS OF DELL
j. CATE HEALTH WHO VISIT THIS ISL
AND-HAvANA, December Is, lS4l.-lt has long
been matter Of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that on the arrival of invaids from the United States
with letters of introduction il has never been in their
power to recommend them suitable residence IN
the country. 1t has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode III the
hotels in town. where the noise and hustle OF crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect, they are 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 a due consideration of this want, and of the
reat benefit that would be derived by nvalids who
Seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent
climste of Cuba if suitable abode should be pro-
yidsd for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
oig established in this city, has appropriated ms
beautiful coffee estate called the Buend Esperdn-d,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part of the
country, so to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive. In order to carry out this intention
TO the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
a long experience of the effects of tropical climates
could attain no pains have been spared to form an
establishment, which affords to the Invalid, as well as
Ito the healthy vster, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mildest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
tate, comprise about five hundred acres. The Bueaa
Espera.a is situated the south side of the island,
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which and then blow from the north
during the winter months. The district in which It
les has been, from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to- those comforts indispensable to
nvalids and of which the buildings OF this country
are so destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
~ t,f, nf thp p1lps
form part, making themselves quite at home, and
without being confined To those regulations which are
necessary at hotels, In this establishment the invalid
as it in his power to vary has amusements, by walk
NO in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback IN yolante or visiting the
mighboring estates, SO thickly spread through the
Opulous country large sugar estate close at
nnd affords an opportunity Of drinking the hot cane
luce, while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
melt to the sportsman.
