CALIFORNIA FOR HEALTH.
Mild Climate, Rare Medicinal Springs
and Charming Scenery.

There are many conditions OF the body
in which a change of environment Is far
more valuable as q remedial agent than
all the medicine that can be prescribed.
California is peculiarly fitted to give
all that nature can give In this direc-
tion. To the newcomer the environment
is so strange and SO striking that it
claims the undivided attention. Every
where and all the time there Is some
thing strange or interesting to see
OF climatic conditions the invalid has
a wide range from which to choose: In
elevation from about 800 feet below sea
level to 5000 or 1000 feet; in humidity,
from the moist sea breezes of the coast
to the dry, invigorating air of the inland
mountain ranges; in temperature, from
the almost perpetual summer of the
southern part of the state to the more
severe, though not unpleasant, climate
of the upper Sierras.
In addition to all this, there are nu-
merous mineral springs, many of them
having marked medicinal qualities,
which have already won for them a wide
reputation. At some of these sani-
tariums have been erected, and all the
conveniences of modern civilization are
at hand.
There, too. one can enjoy more
healthful and varied diet than is accessi-
BILE in any other locality. Fresh fruits
and vegetables the year round; an
abundance of wild game, and meats that
are nutritious and highly favored.
A climate where even delicate person
can, with no fear of taking cold, spend
ten of the twelve months in the open air
needs few accessories in the work of re-
storing impaired health or vitality. Great
numbers of semi-invalids already go to
California to escape the cold of the east
ern winters, and find to their constant
surprise that great part of California

! the balmliest days of an eastern spring.
How many of those who go to the Eu-
ropean springs for their health realize
that in the one State of California there
are more and greater variety of medical
/, springs than in all the European coun-
?, tries combined? 1t is a fact, however
There is no discord for which medicinal
/ waters can afford relief but that finds its
! natural remedy in California. Every i'm.
! aginable kind of mineral springs there ex-
! lists, some hot and others cold. There are
! splendid swimming lakes Of naturally ho
! medicinal waters of many kinds. AS 6
| rule, the yield of water from these Cali
i fornia springs is remarkably free. so thai
no one is stinted. Scores of the more not
! ed are provided with comfortable build
| ings and every other adjunct for the COM
! fort and cure of invalids many of then
being fashionable resorts for people who
really do not need the use of the healing
waters The charges are moderate and
the patronage large.
Z A very important element of the popu-
larity and efficiency of California is the
delicious and healing climate. No climate
so bland. so generous. so invfgorating, car
be found in any country of Europe. 1t Is
worth something to the mind and tht
body to be surrounded by fruits and flow
ers every day in the year, and to be abso.
lutely sure of freedom from malarial poi
| soning. The climate possibility doubles
! the healing value of springs which II
themselves are the finest and most bene
fetal in the world.
