Punta Gorda, Feb. II, 1915
Having discovered by experience
of last winter that the water of
the artesian well, at the public
fountain near the hotel, was bene-
fetal to me, | came again this
winter and found that as a cure
. for constipation, it is a complete
success taken before breakfast.
NV physician has interdicted bro
mo settler and several other artifi-
cial mineral waters. So it is very
agreeable to me to find simple,
costless water, which certainly
answers this purpose and makes
me gain in weight. | have in past
twenty-five years tried almost ev-
cry place in Florida and this place
seems to me to be the best for ell
derby people, like myself, who
seek rest and quiet more than
gaiety and pleasure. The balmy
air, the beautiful bay in front, the
boating, fishing, abundance of
tropical fruit, and driving makes
a combination which beats the
zero weather of Chicago all to
death.-R. S. CRITCHELL.

my opinion. the mild equalized
climate of Punta Gorda and the
absence of dust, (there is no dust
here of any consequence and the
J comparatively absence of pollen of
maturing vegetation, especially in
the fall Of the year, is very ia
, vorable climate for asthma and
hay fever. | live at Lake Comor-
, ant, Miss.-F. NJ. POLLARD, MD.

| Punta Gorda, Feb. IS, 19l5-
This is my sixth winter here. The
climate and the water agree with
me. By coming here | believe
that fully five years have been
7 added to my life. On Feb. 25th
| will be 81 years old. | like the

f people My daughter-in-law,
] Mrs. j. w. Webb of Chicago, came
: here Jan. l, 1913. She had been
+ troubled for years with rheuma-
tism; she had not walked for 100
, yards at one time during two or
7 three years when she arrived
a here she had to be led and assisted
g up three steps. She left here a
q bout middle of February, 1913
@ After being here for about one
+ month, all alone she walked sever
V al miles at a stretch. The water
v and climate benefited her much.
+ have seen several come here using
d canes and crutches and go away
