To be plain, the City of Mexico is
not the proper place for q prolonged
sojourn of invalid tourists. The robust
can do very well here for few weeks,
but even they would enjoy the winter
weeks in lower level towns like Aguas
Calientes, Guadaiajara, or little towns
like Orizaba or Cuernavaca. Here it
is impossible to have q fire in your ho-
tel room, as such thing Il absolutely
unknown. A lamp will, II is true,
heat room sufficiently to take of the
chill, but this is not the way for an in
valid to live. There are cities and
towns here where no need Of fire
will be felt the winter through. For
those Of us residents who have gone
through the not wholly comfortable
process of acclimatization and are
fairly robust, q winter is quite differ
ent thing. Its cold is gently bracing,
the appetite, never sharp in tropical
istsiittuaes, picks upa q Bit, and one goes
about his business with moro energy.
But ] defy any man or woman Of
northern blood to live here few years
and have that vitality, that certain
vigor, that one possesses in ruder
climes to the northward. There are
some correspondents who ask IL q stay
in this city would be beneficial for
persons afflicted with rheumatism9''
