venge was not disclosed In the first

ing away from her husband for a year

Among others he writes: 1T
was a rule with many physi-
clans for many and many years
to advise all weak and tired
persons to take vacations and
to live in the mountains during
the summer time. This, OF
course. cannot bring any dam

lions would bring much more
health If taken during the cold
winter months. Winter is the
time when the mountains are
covered with snow, when there
is no dust and 10 ravaging of
flies and mosquitoes that is the
right time to strengthen the
lungs and invigorate the nerves
by breathing the pure, fresh and
