|. carpets, floors and spittoons are one mass
: of filth, mucus and masmic pestilence.
Some go there who have not symptom
: of consumption at the outset, but seeing
, all the time, such CHASTITY and deathly
coun;enances, the Imagination contracts
the disease and transfers it to the system,
perhaps assisted by the pestilential at
mosphere in the rooms.

the confidence game" advising consump-
tives to go to Florida and get cured,
though they cannot do it even then ex-
cept they take with them plenty Of pills,
tonic and syrup, and ifthey have not the
money to go there they can just as well
be cured with this same medicine shut
up all winter in room of zoe heat. The
same newspapers advise " that one man
exa mines" on an average, 500 cases
week with respirator "and all this
between the hours of A. NJ. and 3 P. NJ"
So figure little and figures wont lie"
Every person has to strip the chest to be
examined, 500 per week are over 20 per
day, of 6 hours, at SIS each is $500 per
week, $4,000, per year, and, doubtless,
as much is paid for the pills &C., making
S130,000, more and S260,000 per year,

AKIN. SOUTH CAROLINA.
This place is located 100 miles from
the sea coast upon small sandy plain
and is mostly inhabited by wealthy
New Workers who have spent 81 100000,
in building cottages and improving the
place. The place is well spread and
buildings so scattered that the sick do
not come in contact much with each 9TH
er. Sew rial families take their horses,
coach and driver. Here like all the
Florida resorts it is quite sandy and diff
cult for pedestrians to get about. The
atmosphere is SO dry that the dew never
runs from the caves of the houses morn
ings while at all the Florida places
named, the dew drops from the caves
every morning after clear night, and
the atmosphere is very damp mornings
and evenings. Jacksonville being only
30 miles in straight line from the At
lantic coast.
OTHER PLACES FOR CONSERVATIVES.
Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Mllidge-
vile and Columbus, Georgia, are all old
places with paved streets and tagged
sidewalks, so an invalid can go out daily
as much as he pleases and enjoy the
dry and pure air. These places are all
high and dry and no dripping of dew
from the caves.
lfa person hereis consumptive he or she
is advised to go to San-Antonio, Texas.
In the hottest days in summer the air is
SO pure and dry atSan-Antonio that beef
will not faint if cut in pieces and hung
up There are many other places in
Texas where the air is equally pure and
dry. High up in Arkansas and also
at Santa Fe, New Mexico, fresh beef will
not faint in the hottest weather. Why
invalids go to Minnesota in winter is on
account of the purity of the air but it is
decidedly too cold for the sick to be out
and exercise. Open air exercise is the
great specific for consumptives, combined
with variety to take the mind from the
disease, instead of confronting it in every
one you meet.
NEW ORLEANS.
Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, New
Orleans and Galveston are all damp
places, but otherwise have the comforts,
conveniences, dainties and every luxury
heart can wish for, being old and con-
tanning from 40, 900 to 200, 0O0inhabitants
each, and build forthe comforts oftheirpeo-
pie, while the small, new towns in Flor
ida, have not single comfort for per-
son who knows what comfort is and is
able to have what is decent.
New Orleans is supplied with game
from 2000 hunters who do nothing but
hunt in winter, and the markets are dali
ly supplied with all the meats, fish and
fruits of all chimes, which the world can
produce. All the birds of the North
, come down here to enjoy the winter and
let their friends of the North, who come
here, do the same. / presume 100000
of robins are brought into this market
every winter and sell at 81 rs to $500
