CLIMATES AND CHEST TROUBLES.

My experience of T.B. and climate is similar to that of "Here's Hoping." The Waitakcre atmosphere may be beneficial to those whom it suits, but that it does not suit everyone I know to' my cost. I have visited the Waitakeres all my life and returned to the city greatly refreshed until I got T.B. After that every "visit cost me further illness. The climate is altogether too damp for me. When, as frequently happens, incidentally obscuring the view, the clouds descend and there is only their vapour to breath, I invariably get bronchitis. Then, unless you are behind screens, when you lose the fresh-air benefit, the blowflies and mosquitoes are a very real torture to people not very well. Like "Here's Hoping." if there is anything in climate, Rotorua suits me best. I respond hotter to this drier, clearer atmosphere. The level walking areas commend themselves, too, as needing less lung power than the steep nrades of the Waitakeres. ALSO HOPING. Palmerston North.
