AND.-HAvANA, December Is, 1S4l-It has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city
that on the arrival Of invads from the United States
with letters of introduction IL 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 country life, prevent their de-
irving 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
From due consideration of this want and of the
great benefit that would be derived by nyalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benefcent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
,lded for them, the subscriber medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
teautiful coffee estate called the BueRd Esperanzd,
tuated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country to form a residence equally agreeable
ind attractive. In order to carry out this intention
the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
long experience of the effects of tropical climates
rlld attain, pains have been spared to form an
Establishment, which affords to the invalid, as well as
