Sixty Pears From THe "NoatH-Cutna Darty News," or SEPTEMBER 23, 1878
From Chefoo:—A correspondent, visiting at Chefoo, writes to us in somewhat glowing, but by no means undeserved praise of the health-giving results of even a brief residence at that most salubrious of watering-plac We cordially endorse his statement that in respect of climate, he could not be living in a more healthy place. The air, he goes on to say, is perfection, and it is a wonder that a larger proportion of the residents of Shanghai do hot avail themselves of the sojourn at this highly favoured spot. It is easy of access and the trip is inexpensive compared with the great benefits to be enjoyed from the change of air and scene. Speaking of the curative effects Of the climate, our correspondent says there are numerous persons who, from their own experience, can confirm the truthfulness of his remarks, paving themselves been. completely cured after a brief residence of only a few weeks, Of dysentery, or diarrhoea, or kindred Complaints. ' Regarding the weather, Our correspondent says it has been of that charming kind that braces the nerves and at the same time prevents any subsequent sensation of reaction. Even when the thermometer is high. ihe heat causes no feeling of inconvenience, for the air is dry and refreshing. with but very few exceptional days. Indeed the rapid progress towards. recovery which invalids so frequently make at Chefoo is quite an interesting study.
