effect Of climate, as ] have used no
remedies except for temporary re.
lief.
We have great numbers of in
stances of people who have left the
frozen north under sentence OF
death If they remained, but who
still came in time, and are now
well and strong men and women so
long as they remain here; but
some who considered themselves
fully recovered aud returned to
their former homes soon paid the
penalty Of their i'm prudence. Why
should they go back ? Everything
can be obtained here that is de-
sired to make life enjoyable. Ana
helm is located in the centre of one
great valley by the sea, a valley 40
miles long by 20 miles wide, pro-
tected on the north by the lofty
range of the Sierra Madre, with an
elevation averaging 5000 feet, an
effectual protection against cold
north winds, whilst the ocean
breezes from the west and south
are unobstructed. The northwest
trades which prevail on
the California coast during
eight months of the year,
aud which are harsh and rough at
the northern coast, come to us from
the southwest and are soft and
balmy. Nothing can be more de-
lightful than our sea breeze; it is
simply perfect. The healthy and
rNht,at r>rafar rnoi1annn tho
sea, where the breeze is fresh and
cool; but invalids prefer the region
ten to twenty miles from the sea,
where the breeze, tempered and
warmed, having lost a portion of
its vapor, is just what they desire.
There are thousand different
shades of climate in this valley,
and each invalid can select just the
kind of climate that suits bin. We
have an extremely fertile soil.
which produces in the greatest per-
ate and semi-troplcal productions.
Our soil and climate being equally
adapted to oranges, lemons, lines,
figs, olives and bananas, the
choicesl European grapes and ap-
pies, pears, peaches, apricots, nee
tarines, Strawberries (Which bear
all the year round), raspberries,
blackberries, currants, ETC.; in fact,
our succession of fruits never
ceases. OF melons, during the
season, we have the greatest abund-
ance and the finest quality. Our
farming crops comprise wheat.
oats, barley, corn, rye, alfalfa, all
kinds of roots and vegetables of all
descriptions, most of which are al
ways in market. In addition, we
can produce every variety of sugar
cane, which has long been pro-
duced in small quantities for eat
ing purposes by the native popula-
tion. Our fertile soil, backed by
an abundance of water for irrigs.
tiop, produces large crops of every
thing that is planted with unvary-
ing certainty. Our climate is alb
solutely healthy. There is in the
section about Anaheim no malaria
aud we never have epidemic
or endemic diseases; the soil of this
part of the valley is alluvial, a
firm sandy loan; which readily
takes in all the water upon the sur
face, and holds it for the wants OF
vegetation; the surface is always
dry; we know nothing about mud
and have but little dust.
OF game, we have the greatest
abundance OF quail, rabbits aud
hare on the plains, and during the
rainy season myriads of wild fowl.
In the mountains there are deer and
bear (grizzlits) for those who fancy
them and will travel far to find
them.
Our climate Is very equable,
the lowest monthly average being
470, and the highest 690, the aver
age of the year ranging from ST. ia
go; the air is dry; as compared
with climates subject to summer
rains is never sultry or oppressive,
men work in comfort and safety on
the hottest days; sunstroke is un-
known as In other semi-tropical
countries; we have both the land
and the sea breeze. The first COM
mences after sunset, coming from
the mountains, making cool nights,
and blows gently from its COM
mencemeDt until it ceases, about 9
A. NJ; the sea breeze commences at
IL A. NJ and blows until night.
Our cool nights are an immense
advantage, being promotive of
sleep and strengthening to an in
valid; light blanket is always re-
quired by the sleeper.
We have nearly everything that
the north can furnish except snow
and Ice and everything that semi
tropical countries can furnish at
the same time. And now l ask,
what more can invalid or any other
person require? Our society is
good and will continually get bet
ter with increase of population, so
L say to invalids, come and be
happy.
