The matter Of a vacation has become a
real serious concern. tis not any more
% much Of a luxury as IL is necessity
TO most men. The rich and indolent, II
4 h true, take Il usually as luxurious
4 Sdiversion, and wander everywhere their
whlms lead them. But the majority of
professional and business men take their
vacation every summer as the result of
careful consideration, and they calculate
upon II as necessary part of their life
and work.
The choice Of q suitable place to recre-
ate and to regain lost vitality and
energy, is a matter Of considerable inn
portance. The whole aim and object of
course is TO find a resort that will give
them what their system needs and has
LOST. Some men find that the sea, with
its healthful salt air and fish diet, gives
them the necessary recuperation. Others
mud In the rest and quiet of n mountain
Sfesort remedy for their ills of body
{ and mind. Some again recreate in the
amidst of placid country life, and are
EtJenefitted. Many travel through strange
scenes and visit new places, and the
constant change they find is just the
thing they need.
No one can dictate what will best
bring to another the recuperation that
Is most beneficial, except perhaps the
family physician I; and he at best can tell
( but little. There can be no doubt, how
ever, that in this whole matter there are
constantly misfits. One man will tako
. long journey and come home tired and
exhausted and his last condition will be
worse than his first. Another will seek
the sea when the mountain air and the
contact with earth and tree were the
4 tonic that his physical and mental con-
dition demanded. Both furnish health
full tonics, but they are adapted for differ
cnt conditions. In our life of tension
and strain involving an exhaustion
of nerve force recreation and recupera-
ti6n are certainly a necessity. That is
: readily admitted. But the serious ques-
tion is where to go TO recover this lost
force. Torpid livers need to I've made
active and sluggish natures need renewed
energy. On the other hand nervous
constitutions must have rest in order to
generation of new vitality.
There is, however, a recreation seldom
indulged In which Is worthy of consider
alton. There was celebrated physi-
clan who on one occasion advised his
patient, who had consulted him in re-
gard to the proper place to recuperate,
g to go TO New York and to live for week
on Broadway or Fifth avenue In the
opinion Of the physician his patient
needed the healthful tonic of active and
intense life. To sluggish natures and
inert constitutions touch Of the vigor-
Gus business world is good tonic.
That man needs sometimes to leave his
x own quiet field Of monotonous labor aud
to feel the pulse-beat of life, to hear the
Z throb Of great world which is new and
exciting and inspiring to him. He needs
vitality and life let him 60 to the life
centres. The placid quiet of the country
would he no tonic to him, and his sys-
tel would not recuperate under such
conditions. A man at times needs con-
tact with the earth, needs to live among
the trees and rocks and beside running
waters. Again, the life-giving gale of
the salt sea air and diet Of crabs and
CLANS and fish bring him the needed
recuperatlon. On the other hand, many
business and professional men of our
sleepy inland towns, where life and
occupation grow often monotonous,
I would find the stir and hustle Of a large
city real and permanent benefit. There
is vigor and life here which by mere
contact is impaired. II is beneficial,
too, by reason of the instruction which
hrtnns IN Non. A
feel the life of world. Let the tired
and jaded business or professional man,
worn down with the mental strain and
toll of the year, try this As a tonic. Let
him touch for week these bustling
marts of the world, stand for awhile in "A
stock exchange and see il he does not
catch some Of the yigor, some of the life,
some of the vitality. II is good tonic.
Try il.
