becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric CON
uitions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-

consumption would do well to avail
themselves OF an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T IS fact that those born hereof

the disease develop, so long as they re-

the relief OF pulmonary affections"
