HEALTH IN M1NNEsorA.-Much has
been written and said by the press of
this State, in relation to the healthi-
ness Of this climate. Those of us who
reside here need no proof of this fact.
The people ell masse are living wit
ncsses of it, And as it become fully
known throughout the Union, numcr-
Gus invalids have sought this climate
as remedy for their disease. During
the past winter we have been thrown
in contact with some Of those invalids
from different parts OF New York
New England and other States. In
almost every instance the climate has
had tendency to relieve them from
their sickness. 1t is especially so with
those troubled with consumptive and
pulmonary disorders. If it was only
shown the relief those find in our eli
mate who are troubled with such COM
plants, we are quite sure that the doc
tors throughout the United States
would at pnce recommend their pa
ticnts visit to our State. 1t would
be more valuable to them tha an all the
medicine in Christendom'-Glencoe
