same materials They are not all paint
ed alike. but even with this distinction
the architecture remains monotonous.
The unpleasant impression thus made
upon a visitor is. however, completely
effaced by the beauty and strength of
the location and environment of the
city. and when one enters typical
Venezuelan home one forgets in an in
slant the monotony of the exterior One
realizes that it is the habit of the aver
age Carequeno to spend on interior dec
Grafton the money he has spared on the
exterior. In the house of Il compare
lively well TO do Venezuelan the finish
ings and furnishings will be found to
be as elegant and as expensive as in
the home of an American of the same
class, and the wealthy Carequeno is
even more extrayagant than the wea lthy
American in the matter of interior APP
pointments. Moreover. the houses,
though squat, are broad and long, and
the area covered by one of them would
give room enough for the erection of
dozen houses like those that line the
streets of New York +.
Caracas is also noted for its beauti-
full parks. in the principal one of which
is located a splendid statue of the great
patriot Bolivar Next to him the Ven
eZuelans have the greatest reverence
fol- George Washington. and in the sec
ond principal square in Caracas have
erected in his honor statue of almost
equal nlagnifcence TO that of Bolivar
The pride of the city. however, is
the beautiful tomb OF Bolivar This
tomb was originally in Trinity church,
but in 1870 was changed into nation
al pantheon. In addition TO the re-
mains of Bolivar the pantheon contains
those of all the presidents of the repub-
lie from 1870 and few Of the leading
men.
American enterprise has made itself
felt throughout the city and is largely
responsible for the progress Caracas
has made in recent years. There are
two American telephone companies,
and an American corporation operates
the Bolivar TramWay company.
While Caracas is not the hotbed of
disease which so many Americans
popularity suppose It to be. it is far
from being a healthy city. Bad sew
erage renders it susceptible to fevers Of
ali sorts. Yellow fever is always spo-
radio, but does not produce the panic
that it does in the United States, for
with careful nursing a Venezuelan has
q better chance of recovery than would
an American stricken with typhoid
fever Another thing that tends to
make Caracas unhealthy are the sud-
den changes of climate. yerging from
a cool. bracing atmosphere at dawn to
an extreme suItriness at noon and final
" to a damp, clammy chill at nightfaIl.
Such are the meteorological conditions
of Caracas for the entire year

w. IL. Harris, NJ. D., the we'll known
physician of Augusta Me, and attend
ing surgeon at the City Hospital there,
was probably the first to call the at
tention of that Institution to the value
of CuinOna not only as an anti-na-
larial, but as a wonderful preparation
to give fresh strength and energy to
the tired, worn out system.
Or. Harris says he has used Quinonl
very often in his practice with very
beneficial results, SO that when one of
the nurses of the City Hospital be-
came run down in health from over
work, he advised the taking of Quinona
as means of bringing back strength
and energy. So beneficial did it prove
in this case, that before MANY weeks
nearly all the nurses were taking Qul-
mona and all praise its wonderful
strength giving power. So beneficial
did Quinona prove that it became con-
Stantly used in the hospital as shown
by the presidents statement.
The Matron of the Hospital spoke in
the highest terms of Quinona, aud
said that she had personally seen many
proofs at the hospital of its great
medicinal value. one of the nurses
says. "Quinona is the most beneficial
preparation | ever took to bring back
fresh strength and energy
The Augusta City Hospital is but one
of the many Hospitals in this country
constantly using QuinOna.
