invalid can spend part of the day, Mt
least, out of doors. In this climate ln-
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic ex
cept in whooqing cough, for years.
The winter months, from the middle
OF September to the first of May, are IN
this locality the finest III the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it IS a Joy to live.
AT present have never known per
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocating
in tie attitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have !
known Of one in the second stage that
did not improve But cannot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage ot sendug advanced eases to tsis
on other sections to die among sttanR.
