ISLAND OF CUBA
ITO INVALiDS AND PERSONS Df DELI
Il CATE HEALTH WHO VISIT THIS ISL


AND.-HAsASA, December Is, l-4l.--it has bong
been matter of regret 10 the inhabitants OF this city
that the arrival of inv Aids from the United States
with letters of Introduction u has never been In their
power TO recommend them a suitable residence Ia
the country. IL has therefore been necessary fof
such persons either To take up their abode Ia the
hotels IN town, where the noise and hustle OF crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere aud
calm retirement OF a country life, prevent their de-
Iiyng that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect, or they compelled 10 90 10
places in the country where adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner of living
in no wise calculated for persons ia delicate
state of health.
From due consideration of this want, and Of the
great benefit that would be derived by lnyalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benetcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
vlded for them, the subscriber medical practitioner
long established In this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the Busda Esperanaa,
situated in the most healthy and romantic parl OF the
country as To form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out this intention
to the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
long experience of the effects Of tropical climates
could attain, no pains have been spared To form an
establishment, which affords to the invalid well a.

be derived from dwelling in the mildest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
grounds laid out in the beautiful style of a coffee
tate comprise about five hundred acres The Bueaa
Espeyan-a is situated the south side OF the island
and is thus in a great measure sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
during the winter months. The district IN which II
lies has been, from IFS extreme beauty, termed The
Windsor of Cuba The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts so indispensable to
nvalids, and of which the buildings OF tins country
are so destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family Of which the guests
form part making themselves quite at home, and
without being confined to those regulations which are
necessary at hotels. In this establishment the Invalid
has it in his power to vary his amusements, by walk
ing in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback or IN yolante or visiting The
