l. 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 the arrival of mvalids from the United States
with letters of introduction it has been in the
power TO recommend them suitable residence in
the country. 1t has therefore been necessary fol
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 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,
in no wise calculated Tor persons IN a uencate
state of health.
From a due consideration of this want and of the
great benefit that would be derived by nvalids who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benefcent
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 Buefa Esperansa,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country so as to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive In order to carry out this intention

long experience of the effects Of tropical climates
could attain, no pains have been spared to form an

to the healthy vister every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the mldes climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation The

Esperanza 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 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
nvalids, 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

ing in the shady avenues of mango and palm trees,
riding on horseback or IN yoante, or visiting the
