ISLAND OF CUBA

i CATE HEALTH WHO VISIT THIS ISL
AND.-HAyANA, December Is, lS4l.-It has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants of this city,
that on the arrival OF mvads from the United States
with letters of ntroducton 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 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 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 invalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benefcent
climate of Cuba if suitable abode should be pro-
vded for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the BueRa Esperansa
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country, as to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive. In order to carry out this intention
the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
"a long experience of the effects Of tropical climates
could attain, pains have been spared to form an
establishment which affords to the INVALID as well as
to the healthy visiter, every rational enjoyment thai
can be derived from dwelling in the mildest climate
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation. The
grounds laid out in the beautiful style of coffee es-
tate, comprise about five hundred acres The Bue,sa
sperdnza situated the south side OF the island
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which now and then blow from the north
during the winter months. The district in which 1t
lies has been from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts Indispensable to
invalids 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
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 volante, or visiting the
neighborng estates, so thickly spread through the
populous country large sugar estate close at
hand affords opportunity of drinking the hot cane
juice, while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
ment to the sportsman.
The subscribers numerous family resides constantly
on the premises,
The BueHa Esperan.a is situated about thirty-fve
miles southwest of Havana. The route, which
crosses a most lovely country, is as follows: From
Havana to Bejuca fifteen miles on railroad from
Beiucal to Buena Esperanto, twenty miles on car
rage road Ii occupies about five hours. by applI-
cation to the subscriber at his residence in Havana
