waters and healing springs than Calltor-
MIA Our sanitariums are numerous, where

are of the first order In this State almost
any climate to suit need or fancy can be
selected. Every few miles of travel gives
us a decided change. dependent upon a!ti-
tude, mountain formations, currents from
ocean air or exposure It, etc.
The ride from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco, for instance, is short, yet in its pas
sage one goes from dry, warm valley,
where the days are sunny and warm and
the nights cool and clear, to a section
where more or less fog envelops the coun-
try with less sunny days, and where
strong, invigorating saline breezes prevail
and where the air is always humid. In
that passage one passes through three dis
tinct belts of decidedly differing climatic
conditions So it is with our springs re-
sorts-they are IS varied in climatic adj
vantages as in location. Chiefly our
mineral springs are desirable for the treat
ment OF govt, rheumatism, kidney dis
eases and weakened and disordeIed di-
gestion The curious on these topics are
referred to the able paper of the Secretary
of the State Board of Health who, in 1882,
remarked at length that about all of them
are of decided efficiency in rheumatism,

proving quality.
