Her Health Giving CHM

n Marietta correspondent OF inc
Constitution says:
The dwellers at the most frequent,
ed winter resorts have simply by ad.
vertising succeeded in inducing
thousands into their climates Each
year accounts of cures are paraded
in Northern no~spapers, and thus
the invalid is induced to 60 to FIori
da or the southern Californian coast.
And yet the atmospheric environ
ment of these worldwide known
health ceuters can hold no COMPARE
SON with this northern Georgian eli
mate as far as concerns those suffer
ing from phthis and its forms.
1t will be absurd far any one to
attempt to confute this statement,
for at Santa Barbara, California, |
have experienced twenty eight con
secutive days of foggy weather, and
during all this time | was told, This
is the most beautiful climate in the
world Go down to Florida and
the atmosphere will be found to be
so damp that the hygnometer indi
Gates complete saturation four fifthS
of the time, and yet it is to such
places as these that the phthisical
sufferer is invited to visit.
1t is a well known fact that when
the invalid once gives the Marietta
climate fair trial, they invariably
return to it in preference to all other
health resorts. During the past
winter seventy of the regular board
ers at the hotel were spending their
second and third winter in Georgia.
One adjourner had made the place
his home for eight winters.
1t cannot he denied, however, that
the fame of Marietta is rapidly in
crea3ing, for the Kennesaw House
even as late in the season as this, is
filled with northern people, who
have not yet found the heat too ops
pressi, to depart. Then a large
number of rooms have been engaged
for the next winter, which promises
to be what might be called bril-
liant season.
The northern cities which aver
age the largest number of deaths
from bronchial and pulmonc atfec-
TORS are Boston and Chicago, and
from these two places come the ma
jorily Of the vi8itants to Marietta,
which is the best evidence that could
be offered to prove that the climate
of northern Georgia in the vicinity
of Marietta is higly fitted as sani-
tarium for all afflicted with throat
and lung diseases.
Appropos to all this, it may be
we'll to mention few cases of the
healing Of ruptured lungs and the
cure of throat complaints. A Chlca>
90 gentleman, now a resident OF At
lanta, was brought to Marietta four
years ago, supported by two men.
On the second day he walked with
the assistance of one man and on
the third he wen! quite distance
alone. He is now in excellent health.
Another gentleman from the same
place, who came to Marietta last
December will not leave under any
considerations, and maintains that he
has been granted a new lease of life
by, as he terms it, "this wonderful
climate"
An Iowa lady, previous to coming
here had frequently been given
night only to live through, but dur
ing residence of three years her
condition has so much improved,
that she claims now to be enjoying
the best health Of her whole life.
The affection was phthisic and bron>
ch,tis.
Another Chicago gentleman with
a cough of thirty>fve years standing
has in northern Georgia discovered
a climate which is tending to annihi-
late his life long enemy.
A young man with curious,
though bad throat disease, after
travelling on the American conti>
nent, from Terra del Fuego to Brit
ish America and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific in search Of health, has
settled permanently in Marietta,
considering it as the only place
where he can live from his trouble.
Many invalids after having had
their weak lungs excerbated by 9th
cr climates, have at the close of the
season there sojourned at Marietta,
and gained back all the health lost
farther South.
