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 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.

great benefit that would be derived by invaids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benehcent

every attention to those comforts indispensable to
nvalds, and of which the buildings OF this country
are so destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
