Tells of the Climatic Advantages
of HendersonyiIle.

i y - :
/ 1t is gradually becoming known to
the people of America that the Appa-
lachfan range of Mountains in western
North Carolina is the finest health re-
sort known. No other resort section
can claim the possession of so many
| favorable conditions as apply to this
mountain section, territory covering
an area of about two hundred square
miles. Within this territory one finds
a topography of endless scenic beauty,
| the puTest air and water; the worlds
finest play ground, with a climate un-
surpassed for moderation and absence
/ of extremes.
Half a century ago card was found
| hanging on wall in an old shoe shop
II London of which the following is a
copy:
The best medicine. Two miles of
/ oxygen three times day. This is not
only the best but cheap and pleasant
1t suits all ages and constitutions. 1t
is patented by Intimate wisdom, sealed
by a signet divine. 1t cures cold feet,
hot heads, pale faces, feeble lungs and
tempers. 1t has often been known to
reconcile enemies, settle matrimonial
quarrefs and bring reluctant persons
to a state of double blessedness This
medicine never fails. Spurious COM
pounds are found in large towns, but
get into the country among green fields
/ or on the mountain top, and you have
the medicine in perfection as prepared
inFthe great laboratory of nature .
The old shoemaker has given on the
card a fair statement an exag-
gefated one the effects of natures
medicine as we see it here in beau
tiful Laurel Park, one of Henderson,
ville's many great attractions.
In the wonderful laboratory of the
Appalachian mountain, arranged by
deity to cure the disease of man, there
is no section so well suited for the in
valid as Hendersonville, NJ G. 1t has
all the conveniences of large city, at
| the same time the quietness sof the
country village. The location is per-
/ feet, the altitude $3.50 feet, is the
height recommended by all the lead
| ing physicians in the world The most
marked characteristic of Henderson
vile is its strong moral atmosphere
There are many churches and frater-
nal societies. and its educational ia
cilities are far beyond any town its
size in the South The hotel and
boarding house facilities of this de-
/! J'ghtful resort are ample to accommo-
date the thousands from the North
who winter here, and the immense
| crowds from the South who regularly
come here for the summer. The sub
urbs of Hendersonville are so beauti-
full that no language can properly de-
scribe them. Flat Rock with its ancient
church. its many splendid homes and
large grounds, resembling ideal coun
| ~ sections in England, with its fine
automobile roads, has no counterpart!
in America. Mountain Home, SUBJ
erb owned and occupied by F1oridians: :
Indian Cave, a second Florida com.
munity; Highland, Kanuga and Osceola
lakes: Mount Hebron and Jump Off
are all attractive and easily reached.
| The most attractive suberb is Lau-
rel Park, adjoining the city, and reach
ed by trolley. This park of about
| three hundred acres highly improved,
| is open to the public at all times free
! from any charge, the only restriction
being that gentlemanly conduct must
be maintained and no plants or flowers
| taken Crystal Spring, as fine as any
in the land, is visited by hundreds
every day. It's good effects are ap-
| parent in every case.
| Within one days ride of this Gods
| given natural cure resort are thirty
| five million of people. OF this great
number, fully ten per cent are exhaust
ed from laborious work or really i'll.
Save in few cases all would quickly
regain vigor strength and health by
spending few months in this natural
laboratory. Cases needing surgical
treatment, or the care of physician,
will find here two fine sanatoriums,
and one general hospital equal to any

months go home again vigorous and
