Excerpt from South Africa as a Health Resort: With Especial Reference to the Effects of the Climate on Consumptive Invalids, and Full Particulars of the Various Localities Most Suitable for Their Treatment, and Also of the Best Means of Reaching the _Places Indicated The object of the writer of this pamphlet has been to bring home to the public the value of South Africa as a health resort. He has been struck for some time with the inaccurate information given by writers of high authority in the climatic treatment of phthisis; of the facilities which now exist in South Africa for travelling from one place to another, and also of the localities which are enumerated as suitable for invalids. The country is often spoken of as if a bullock waggon were still the speediest means of travelling; and in some very able lectures delivered last year the following remark was made: - "The best mode to reach the high regions is still a well-supplied ox waggon from Graham's Town or Wynberg."
