Show A NATURAL SANITARIUM. Wlmf n Spiontifle Ohservnr Una t-n Say About California. Lieut. John P. FIndley, while In charge of the United States weather bureau at San Francisco, contributed an artichi to a prominent magazine on thq' climatic conditions of California, in which the following statement appeared: ap-peared: "Theoretically, California should furnish fur-nish the best and most varied health resort and sanitariums In the United States. Within her borders almost every ev-ery form of wasting disease should find the means of temporary, if- not permanent, relief." This theoretical statement, from an unbiased, scientific standpoint. Is abundantly abun-dantly confirmod by experience. The cool and bracing coast climate, devoid of any trace of malaria, extends from tho northern part of the State to the extreme south. There Is the choice between be-tween this cool, humid atmosphere and the dry, warm atmosphere of the Inland In-land valleys. . Of altitude there Is yet a greater difference. dif-ference. From Plain Valley, 300 feet below sea level, to the upper Slerrus, 7000 or 8000 above, any altitude can be selected, and comfortable homes be found. The peculiarity of an almost rainless summer, during whlcn tne injurious germs of nnlmal and vegetable decay are destroyed by thorougn desiccation, Is one of the Gtrlklng features of California Cali-fornia climate. During the rainy season It Is usually too cool to facllltr.to fermentation, and the result l, except along some of tho river valleys, an absolutely pure atmosphere. at-mosphere. The ocean winds entering through tho several coast openings, are tempered by the Intermediate area passed over, and often receive desirable desir-able healing properties by taking up the resinous odors of the pines and redwoods red-woods of the coast range. The skillful physician, acquainted with the climatic conditions, should find little difficulty in selecting a locality local-ity where climate and environment will do all that these agencies can ever do toward the restoration of health. There Is enough of wlldness to keep the mind constantly cngagod, and enough of civilization civ-ilization to satisfy the most exacting. People whose systems are charged with malaria, or arc "run down" by overwork, find Immediate and In many cases permanent relief In thlc Invigorating Invigor-ating climate.
