DR.. Henry NJ. Field, in the New York
Evangelist:
PLEASANT PLACE TO WINTER IN.
Though the winter has been mild thus
far, there is no certainty that it will con-
tinue 50, and many of our readers are
doubtless planning to spend a few
months in the south. Asheville, i'll Wes-
tern North Carolina, is famed for beauty
of situation and evenness of climate, and
in Asheville the most delightful place OF
residence tor the traveller is certainly
the Oakland Heights Sanatorium.
Everything is done in this house which
can contribute to the comfort and cheer
fulness of the visitor, No consumptives
are admitted, and the visitor is therefore
spared that spectacle which wrings the
heart of the guest of almost every south
ern hotel, OF men and women dying from
the most dreadful of all diseases. Or
the other hand. the house is quiet, home
like, tree from the excitements of hotel
and therefore Just the place tor those who
arc nervous, or who are debilitated b,
influenza, or suffering from any sort I
chrome ailment.
