One OF the most charming and most
ideal winter and all year round health
resorts is Chronicle, Alabama, which
has already acquired great fame and it
is attracting q great number of health
seekers and tourists. The town has an
elevation Of 800 feet, the highest in the
government survey between the Rio
Grande and the coast of Maine. The
site is a high rolling plateau in the
heart Of the long leaf yellow pine for
est of South Alabama. The soil is
sandyj there is no malaria; there are no
poisonous insects. The climate is sim
ply delightful at all times Of the year.
The salt air of the gulf commingles
with the fragrant, delicious ozone of
the pine woods; 1t is absolutely clean
and clear, and therefore a great benefit
to all persons suffering from catarrh,
bronchial and throat trouble and from
the depressing effects Of the grippe.
