AND.-HAyANA, December Is, lS4l.-lt 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
mower to recommend them suitable residence in
The country, 1t has therefore been necessary for
snch 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
apaftments accommodations, and manner OF living,
are in no wise calculated for persons IN deicate
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 beneheent
climate of Cuba, if suitable abode should be pro-
yided for them the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated his
beautiful coffee estate called the BueRd Espeidn-a
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country, to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out TINS 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
10 the healthy visiter every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mildest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation ne
grounds laid out in the beautiful style OF coffee es-
Epsranza is 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 m'whlch II
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
nyaiids and of which the buildings of this country
are so destitute. All the rooms have boarded hoors
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, ana
without being confined to those regulations which are
necessary al hotels. In this establishment the Invalid
has il 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
neghborng estates thickly spread through the
populous country. A large sugar estate close at
hand, affords an opportunity of drinking the hot cane
iuice while the surrounding woods furnish amuse-
nent to the sportsman
