The Atmosphere of North Geor gia for Invalids. It has been demonstrated that one of the best remedies for, or preventions of pulmonary troubles is pure and ex hilarating atmosphere; hence, Col orado and New Mexico, each meeting these requirements to a remarkable degree, are becoming the regions to which all who are troubled or threat ened with bronchial or pulmonary troubles, resort. But figures tell their own story, and the United States Census Reports, which are the most accurate of any in America, show that the mountainous portion of northern Georgia is the healthiest region in America, in this respect. The pure and exhilarating atmos- phere, almost reaching from Marietta to the Tennessee and North Carolina line, is remarkably beneficial to peo ple threatened with hay fever, or oth erwise predisposed to consumption and bronchial affections. When it is taken into consideration that at Marietta and White Path there are superb hotels, well kept, it is not a matter of any wonder that people who are posted come in great numbers to those points. The beginning has as yet been hardly seen in this respect. The great advantage which this re gion enjoys over Colorado and New Mexico, is, that invalids are here with in a day’s ride of their homes, and members of their family can come up from the low country and spend a day or two with them at any time and re turn, at little cost and with little an noyance; whereas, in going to the tar western sanitariums there are difficult ies which are incident to a long and wearisome trip of several days in du ration and accompanied by all the an noyance of frequent changes of cars, the heat and dust, and the other ac companiir ents of travel. Marietta’s Climatic Advantages. The following extracts from letters received from physicians and other parties who have stopped at the Whit lock House will show that Marietta is proving herself the center of the health region of the South. All who can go to Marietta and do not do so will find that they have made a mistake in not going. [Fom Willis Danforth, M. D., Mil waukee, Wis.j “I am sure that jou are in the right place.” [From A. L. Monroe, M. I)., Louisville, Kentucky.] “Such a house as you have for health seekers 1 can always endorse.” [From O. S. Runnels, M.Il, Indianapolis, Indiana.] “Am glad you are to be found in that healthy region.” [From Carleton White, 3,727 Lake Ave nue, Chicago.] “The Whitlock House combines the ele gance of a first-class hotel, together with the comforts of a homey | From ,L B. Ruble, Canton, Ill.] “Visitors to Marietta, with hardly an ex ception, improve in health.” [From Arnold Hallett, M. D., late Phy sician to Long Island College Hospital and Home for Consumptives, Brooklyn, N. Y.] “With confidence and satisfaction I bear my testimony to the healthfulness of Mari etta, Ga. The climate being dry, bracing and free from malarial influences, is well adapted to many cases of pulmonary dis eases and bronchial affections. Our host and hostess of the Whitlock House cannot be excelled in their kindness and attention and in their desire to promote the comfort and welfare of their guests.” [From Judge Warren Currier, St. Louis, Missouri.] “I have visited health resorts in all parts of the country, but have found nothing better adapted to my particular infirmity a bad case of catarrh and bronchitis—than the stimulating and salubrious climate of Marietta. This is my second winter at the Whitlock House, where I am as comfortably provided for as at the high priced hotels of Florida. Marietta is situated on a great through line of travel, fifty minutes from the smart city of Atlanta. Several trains arrive and depart daily, and by daylight — a circumstance of interest to invalids.” No tourist should pass through Chattanooga without stopping and tak ing a trip over the Western and At lantic, down through the beautiful and historic Chickamauga Valley. 7
