be found to be the greatest safeguards of health.
=, IN winter the climate Of Savannah is delightful,
the mild and genial air being well suited for weak
and consumptive people. At all times the city is
remarkably clean, for the ground being of a sandy
quality the rain, when fallen, readily gets absorbed,
and leaves nothing behind to stagnate and contami
nate the air. The showers in spring fall heavy and
frequent, and the arid ground soon becomes fertile
The flowers display their petals to the sun, and
