Nervousness, Etc.
Punta Gorda, Feb. 10, 1916
This is my sixth winter in Punta
Gorda. | am in good health and
have been. | came here for the
water, climate and fishing. The
water benefits me considerably.
There is nothing wrong about my
health, except that which usually
attends elderly men. In Deem
Der, 1913, Mr. Phil Adair of
Knoxville, Tenn, came here. He
was practically a nervous wreck,
having been unable on account of
such to work for only three
weeks during the preceding 10
months. He left here in Febru-
airy, 1914, so much improved that
ne has been able to work ever
since, He has written me that
his health has been so far improv
ed that he will not come down
this winter. / have seen several
persons come here walking on
lcru,tches or with canes on account
OF rheumatism. In a few weeks
they threw them away, walking
like a two-year-old. Mr.. Thur |
man came here from the northern
portion of Georgia about Deem
Der, 1912, or January, 1913. He |
remainded here about two months
or may be little over. When
he first came he could not walk
100 feet without stopping and
resting. After he had been here
a month he would walk about
half mile without stopping. At
first he carried a camp stool on
which to sit. He threw away his
camp stool. He left here much
improved. He had asthma, and
one of the worst cases / ever saw.
| never saw man as weak as he
was and be living. live at
Mayesville, Mo. | spend five
months of the winter season here.
