GLADES HOTEL, OAKLAND, MD,
sH #r. September 10.
Correspondence Of he Cincinnati Gdcette-
have been reading in recent issue
of the London Times an article on Hay
Feyer' copied from the Pail Mall
Gazette. This subject is of intense in
terest to thousands in our own country
who are painful patients nom attacks
of this distressing disease. II slowly
but surely undermines the constitution
and finally results in paralysis or
death. Daniel Webster with his noble
physical constitution battled this d.
sease for many summers, and robust
as was his general health, even he at
last NSAs compelled to yield to these an
nual attacks. The most eminent physi-
clans of both hemispheres have careful
ly Investigated The subject and yet very
little is known as to its cause or proper
treatment. Drs. Abbott, Smith, Perry,
and a score OF other able men OF the
medical profession have written upon
the subject advancing different theories,
but all agreeing that they are unable to
discover any cure.
Various remedies are proposed, from
the simplest syrup to the most obnox-
ious and dangerous compound, but
these are only recommended as Pallia-
tives; nothing, however, affords so sure
and so great a relief to the patient as
residence during the whole period ofthe
attack in some high mountain atmos-
phere.
A number of hay fever patients are
now staying at this hotel, some living
here for the first time and others have
passed several summers at this place.
Among the latter Is a gentleman from
Baltimore who has suffered with the
disease for nearly half a century; he
has experimental with everything,
from the "old woman's remedy" to the
rFaEnFirtinn nj nf tho RXnpFinnUn1
physician; he has tried the sea shore,
springs and mountains of America and
Europe, and he assures me that the pure
air OF the Glades in the Alleghenies af-
lords a more certain Rlleviation OF the
symptoms OF hay fever than any other
remedy with which he is acquainted.
have made this statement because
/ know from observation something OF
the terrible suffering caused by this
disease, and because hundreds who are
thus afflicted are not aware that RELIEF
may be thus easily procured. OF all
places of summer resort with which L
am acquainted there is none surprising
this in offering the greatest freedom
from all excitement and inviting the
visitor to the enjoyment of the most
perfect rest, yet there are grand rides
through the widest wilderness, and
charming walks through the woods
among the latter the ramble to "Wash-
guests OF the Glade.
This spring is gmbOWered in the Cen-
tire OF a miniature grove, about half
mile from the hotel and II is said by
tradition that Washington drank from
its clear " aters, and from this fact it de-
rives its name.
The "Boiliug Spring" is more difficult
of access but we'll repays one for the
trouble OF reHching 1t. The "Iron
Spring" is the last OF the trio, which is
found at the end of u beautiful walk of
two miles.
In this quiet-out-of-the-way place
where they have preaching but once n
fortnight, and where the fashion of
friZzing the hair is so remarkable u
sight, as 10 cause n mountain maiden
to exclaim to her neighbor, as she OBJ
served n lady from the hotel enter the
church last Sabbath with her hair
friZZed in the highest style, "LawS-a-
me that woman has forsOtto brush her
hair" You can readily Imagine that
musical entertainment would be u mat
ter of great moment, and this proved
to be the case last week on the occasion
of concert being given by few ANA
teurs for the benefit of the Sabbath
School here. The Oakland Academy
of Music" was crowded with the IN
habitants OF the village, and $50 was re-
allied for the object.
One cannot but be impressed with The
number AMI regularity OF the Trains on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad pass
1 ing this hotel every twentY-four hours.
I There seems TO be less noise and con-
fusion attending their management
than is observable on most roads, and
everything connected with the service
| appears to be under complete discipline.
| suppose there is no other route in the
country where so great precautionary
measures are taken TO secure the safety
of passengers and property. AS ne
cessary consequence the number OF &C
cidents occurring is very small aud the
confidence of the public is corresponds
inEly great.
Notwithstanding the regularity OF
/ the trains referred TO, great irregularity
prevails in the postal arrangements.
| The mails designed for Oakland seem
| to be shuttle cock between the battle
doors of Wheeling and Cumberland,
and the energy with which they are
sent from one or other OF these points
| frequently carries them past their place
of destination. If you can hud time 10
| direct your attention from the White
\ House or War Department, to stirring
up the Post Master-General, you will
confer great favor on many cores
pondents. Nj.
