BETHESDA.

In each of these resorts beautiful scenery delights the eye. Snow-capped mountain peaks, rugged canons, rocky defiles, through which water falls and dasher in showers of spray ; rays of light over the tops of the mountains paint beautiful rainbows ; luxuriant vegetation opening out into wide valleys and parks. Here surely, the poor invalid ought to find health, the "BETHESDA" for which he has so long and anxiously sought. Does your physician tell you a cool, dry climate and very high altitude is indicated in your case? This climate may exhilarate for a time, and the reaction result in a decline all the more rapid and disappointing to your relatives and friends. Can you endure the long, fatiguing journey? Can you content yourself under the deprivation of the comforts, the sympathy, the loving attentions of your home? What does your family physician, who thoroughly understand you case, advise?

Thousands upon thousand who read these lines have not the means to travel ; they cannot even afford to consult a physician, and yet anxiously look for a word of encouragement from us.

Be temperate ; be an early riser ; sponge the body every morning immediately after getting our of bed ; take plenty of exercise ; wear warm clothing ; try always to be cheerful, and to look upon the sunny side of life, and use your common sense in the selection of your food.
