Il CATE HEALTH WHO VISIT THIS ISL
AND.-HAyANA, December 10, lS4l-lt has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants OF this city
that the arrival of nvalids 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 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 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 llvmg
are in no wise calculated for persons IN delicate
state of health. 80

great benefit that would be derived by invalds VINO
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcen
climate of Cuba if suitable abode should be pro-
yded for them the subscriber, medical practitioner

beautiful coffee estate called the Buend Espran5a,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part oil the
country, so to form residence equally agreeapie

to the fullest extent that professional knowledge ana
long experience of the effects OF tropical climates
could attain, no pains have been spared 10 form an
establishment which affords to the invalid, as well as
to the healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the midest climate
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation, Inc
grounds laid out in the beautiful style OF coffee es-

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 Hoors
