ROCKWELL, M.D. The health restoring influences to be found in the geographical location of Aiken, S. C., are becoming better known and more fully appreciated, principally by those who have visited it for recuperation, rest, or pleasure. The popular reputation of the place has been of slow growth, but not at any time retrogressive. It has stood the test of experience by thousands of people during the last three decades. Prior to the late civil war, it was known by many persons that a sojourn during the winter and spring months at this point proved highly beneficial to those suffering from affec- tions of the respiratory organs, especially where the catarrhal diathesis predominated; likewise to those who sought recovery from the effects of malarial and other fevers elsewhere contracted. Since the close of the war the growth of the place has steadily advanced, and its reputation continually extended. This advancement has been mainly effected through the favorable ex- perience gained by its visiting guests. Few physicians from distant parts of the country have visited it; but little advertising has been done, and a knowledge of the value of the climate, to-day, rests significantly upon its merits. At a cursory glance there appears but few features that would greatly distinguish the superiority of this locality in a sanitary point. These may be mentioned as follows: A medium altitude, the porous character of the 6 soil, together with its barrenness, its perfect surface and subsurface drain- age, the quality and quantity of its water supply, and the forest growth here found. The moderate elevation of 650 feet above the sea, when com- pared with the height of surfaces in this and adjacent States, requires re- flection to discern particular advantages in this respect. This altitude secures in this particular latitude a medium temperature during the winter and spring months of the year; also, a more uniform velocity of the wind, which is scarcely too strong for the purification of the atmosphere, and the equalization of the proportions of its constituent elements. Without the fresh breezes incident to this medium altitude and latitude, while the tem- perature would range some higher, in the winter and spring months, the air would be less free from abnormal ingredients. Consequently one of the vital factors of the sanitary composition of the climate of Aiken would be wanting. WATER SUPPLY. The water supply is only sufficient for domestic purposes, hence the superiority of the hygrometric record. It is obtained from wells, varying in depth from 80 to 150 feet, and from few springs in and adjacent to the village. When obtained from any of these springs, it is of sparkling transparency. The water originates from substrata of pure kaolin (or dissolved granite), and is free from calcareous substances, decomposed vegetable or animal matters. Its solvent properties, specific gravity, its odorlessness, tastelessness, and lightness when drunk in large quantities, the equality of its temperature as it runs from its white beds of kaolin, strained by its superstrata of white sand, under which it percolates, makes it fully equal for all uses to carefully collected rain or distilled water. The advancement of sanitary science during the past quarter of a century, raises a serious question whether the human family is not in more danger from the water it drinks than the air it breathes. Water by its suspensory and solving powers is found frequently to contain disease germs, vegetable fungi, and excrementitious matters. This fact renders the subject of the quality of the water supply for the use of man and the domestic animals subject to his control, one of primary importance in relation to the healthfulness of localities or com- munities. Hy every known test of the quality, and by appreciable lack of surplus quantity (which would surcharge the circulating air with moisture), the advocate of the superior sanitary conditions of this imme- diate region can logically isolate as a prominent cause the character ot the water. The only mineral ingredient found in the spring water of this locality is iron, which enhances its value as a beverage for most debilitated persons. QUALITY OF THE AIR. The stranger who visits Aiken for the first time rarely fails to dis- cern the effects of the air upon a clear sun-shining day. Its buoyancy is at once perceived by the languid traveler, from whatever quarter or extreme point of latitude. Persons who are well and robust quickly discover and declare its stimulating character. This effect is ascribable in general phraseology to its exceptional purity; but to the analytical mind, this assignable cause is insufficient. The sensations communicated upon forced inspiration are in a remote degree similar to those received by the inhalation of nitrous oxide (ni- trogeni monoxidun), in a dilute form, which indicate a large proportion of oxygen—ozone—in the surrounding air. These impressions are not evan- escent, but are noticeable by residents of years ; especially upon going a long or short distance from their home and returning; also on days of ad- verse disturbed conditions of the atmosphere, which occur at compara- tive long intervals here, to wit: a few hours previous to a heavy rainfall, or at the termination of long summer droughts. Even on such days there is an appreciable difference in favor of this particular elevation, when con- trasted with neighboring points. Both barometer and hygrometer verify observations. Modern science, in its rapid strides, has not yet reached a point at which the delicate composition and proportions of general or local atmospheres—with their beneficial and deleterious effects upon diseased or healthy organism, can be accurately analyzed or de- fined. We must therefore rely upon the observation of the human senses for our knowledge. There are, however, general features and influential facts, which warrant the meed of praise which Aiken has received in this respect. The constancy and uniformity of the breezes already referred to — which are occasionally augmented to strong winds—evidently conduce to the equalization of atmospheric constituents, to its general purity, to the dryness which is at all seasons of the year characteristic of the air of Aiken; also to a modification of temperature. Especially is this obvious during the spring and summer months of the year, when they bear so strong resemblance to sea breezes—that only by a knowledge of the distance of one hundred and thirty miles from the ocean can the illusion be dispelled. There are no contaminating sources to poison the air with vegetable effluvia and fungi—no miasmatic bayous exist;—marsh or stag- nant pools of water cannot be found. To the north and west, the elevated table-land upon which Aiken is situated extends in a varying distance of five and fifteen miles. Upon the rolling surface of the earth, in this direction, there is but little cultivation, by reason of the barrenness of the soil—which consists of hills, plains, and valleys of sand, covered with a forest growth of pine, supplemented with dwarfed oak wherever the pine is removed or destroyed. The original pine trees, which are a characteristic feature of the Southern landscape, obtain their moisture from substratas of soil deep in the earth, through their conical, or “ tap root,” so called. In this particular, dry, barren soil, these large forest trees must obtain most of their nutrition from the atmosphere. The idea is supported by the chemical fact, that the principal volatile product of the pine, when extracted and exposed to the air, holds to a large extent ozone. This pine barren forms a natural effectual barrier to migratory malarial influences, and absorbs superfluous moisture. Upon this extensive family of the forest kingdom, nature has been lavish in the endowment of healing and protecting powers. This is espe- cially manifest in the warm latitudes of the South, where from the extreme 8 heat of the sun, alluvial deposits germinate and distribute disease. Large tracts of country in the South Atlantic and Gulf States would be uninhabitable but for the neutralizing influences of the extensive pine forests. Nor is this by any means (as we shall see further on) the only blessing emanating from this genus of the forest. The pharmacognosia of the civilized world has selected several species of the pine, from which simple remedies are obtained and recommended for external and internal use. Without much imagination, therefore, the direct influence of a pine grove or forest upon diseased tissues must be, through the medium of the air in addition to its prophylactic virtues, a significant aid to the healing process; and particularly where, as we have already seen, the local atmosphere is above the normal standard of vitalizing element, and is free from noxious accompaniments. PINE FOREST ADDITION TO HIGHLAND PARK HOTEL. As a result of observation upon the requirements, and for the com- fort and convenience of large numbers of people who annually visit Aiken, and for the purpose of limiting in this immediate locality the destruction of pine forests, and for more perfectly securing hygienic requirements, the proprietor of the well-known Highland Park Hotel has purchased and developed, at a large cost, two hundred and fifty acres of pine forest immediately adjacent to the hotel. He pro- poses to make this a significant feature—an open air sanitary annex to the present superior appointments of this popular winter and spring resort. The variety of surface and natural formation of the ground con- tained in this addition is seldom surpassed, in local beauty and in points for distant views. It embraces capacities suited to the numerous and va- rious requirements of a large number of guests. The artificial improvement of this forest will be continued, without infringement upon its natural features or sanitary conditions. The shape is oblong, approximating a parallelogram. The formation of the ground is such as to divide it into an eastern and western section. The dividing line is a natural bluff, which forms a curvilinear line north and south. At the base of this bluff, or natural embankment, at considerable distance apart, issue three springs of limpid water, one of which contains carbonate of iron in reasonably health- ful quantities. This base forms the western boundary ol the eastern portion of the Park, and is immediately adjacent to the hotel inclosure. This is the ravine or grove portion, and the western part is the plateau or forest por- tion of the lay-out. The surface of the east half is moderately irregular, and pleasing to the eye; the declivities are not so abrupt as necessarily to weary pedestrians. Within this last named division are points of great beauty, as well as utility. A dense grove of handsomely proportioned pine trees is the most prominent feature, covering a surface of several acres. The trees are tall, straight, and of equal proportions. The surface of the ground in this grove is free from undergrowth, and is carpeted with the elastic dry pine leaves or straw, which is annually replenished. 9 When viewed from a distant point, it resembles a compact forest, with its deep shadows; but when in its midst, it charms by its restful, weird, and-exclusive impression. A five minutes’ walk from the hotel brings one to this fascinating grove. Between its immediate border and the hotel is a natural mound of earth, oblong in its proportions, with gradual sloping lines to its base. THE PINE GROVE. It is sufficiently covered with pine and oak trees to furnish shade un- der a midday sun, also to form a picturesque feature in the landscape. The summit of this mound, or hillock, embraces about an acre of land, and commands interesting views of surrounding objects. A large pavil- ion, inclosed in glass, has been erected at this point. The railroad on the south, with its long, fleet trains passing and repassing between the cities of Charleston and Augusta, reminds the observer that he is not far away from the world of travel and traffic. 10 WALK FROM PAVILION TO HOTEL. Beyond the railroad, the evergreen tops of the trees of the Schuetzen Park present a pleasing feature; and still beyond, tower the original forest trees upon a gradually ascending slope. On the east, at a considerable elevation above the mound, is the hotel, with its conspicuous architectural features and its capacious galleries. On the west is seen the bluff, sparsely covered with artistically arranged trees, some of which bow in a half reclining position, and others rising, as it were, to the zenith. The western or forest section contains about one hundred and ninety acres of land, and is sparsely covered with a primary growth of pine. This species is the yellow pine —the long and the short leaf {Finns Aus- tralis, and P. Mites'). It is the highest table land in the neighborhood, 11 and is quite level. Returning to the hotel whence we commenced our description, and by ascending to the second story balcony of the west side of the building, we have an extended view over both sections of the entire tract embraced in this improvement. From the base of the hotel is the commencement and terminus of a road, which surrounds the borders of the outlay. This encompassing avenue can be seen most of the distance from the west verandas. There also can be seen from these lookouts, through openings and vistas, numerous interior spaces dotting the whole area. The encircling avenue or drive measures three and one-half miles. From this road numerous cross roads are laid out, leading to different portions of the inclosure. Walks and foot paths wind around, affording variety of scene and exercise. The following are the leading varieties of growth: Of the Oak—Spanish, Water, Post, Scrub, and Black Jack ; Common Hickory; Flowering trees and shrubs—Dogwood (Com us floridd) leaves and blossoms in April. Red Haw {Cra/cegus flavd) beautiful dark-green leaves, delicate white flowers, blossoms late in March; Calico Bush {Kalmia latifolia), well known in most parts of the United States, which blossoms in April; Sparkleberry (vaccininm arboreum), beautiful pendent clusters of pure white flowers, blossoms in May; Trumpet Vine (Tecoma nidi cans) blooms in May; Carolina Jessamine {Gelsemium sempetvivum) blooms in March and April; Sensitive Plant (Schrankia angustatus) trailing vine of delicate pink blossoms ; Trailing Arbutus {Epigusa repens) blooms in February; several species of Wild Violets bloom in early spring; Trumpet Flower (Bignonia capreolaia) blooms in April, and many other wild flowers blooming from March through the spring. The views from the western or forest section are distant, embracing an extent of miles and features of marked interest. The prospect from the southwestern border combines both gorge and landscape. Through the gorge is seen the railroad for a distance of miles toward the Savannah river On either side by uniform gradual rise is a landscape of perennial forest, gracefully rising until merged into the horizon. Just previous to the hour of sunset, are the strongly contrasted effects of light and shadow, visible upon dark green forests and huge mountains of clouds. One of those frequent sunset scenes can be imprinted upon the mind through the eye, but cannot be transcribed or adequately portrayed. Standing upon any elevated knoll within this section of the environ- ment, and looking easterly through the interspace of the forest monarchs, and over the plain formed by the tops of the trees which constitute the grove in the ravine portion already described, is seen again the hotel with its elevated cupola, also the tower of the windmill adjacent, together with many arbor-shaped trees which ornament the immediate grounds of the structure. Still in the background, spires of churches, towers of public buildings, and neat private residences, combining natural and architectural effect. We must hasten to speak of the more utilitarian subjects embraced in this attempted description. The surface of this division is elevated, generally even, but incapable of retaining water during and after the heaviest rainfalls. In the short time, not to exceed three hours, the exces- 12 sive humidity of the atmosphere disappears. So prominent is this feature, that a square rod of ground, upon either section of this im- provement, cannot be found where water or excessive moisture, ac- cumulates. Springs of water emerge at various localities, but, by declivities and the largely absorbing qualities of the soil, their pro- duct rapidly disappears. In fact, over the whole superficies of this entire one hundred and twenty acres, excessive humidity is rare, even during the winter season. From the short and imperfect description of this addition to the hotel, obvious advantages appear, which will accrue by an appro- priation of the forest to be used for the exclusive purpose of augmenting the benefits to be derived by a change of climate. In these forest groves the valetudinarian of every degree, or from whatever cause, can reasonably expect to recuperate and improve by availing himself of the additional THE RAILROAD CUT. advantages thus offered. The irregular surfaces herein contained pro- vide numerous suitable localities adapted to various conditions; by the aid of ravine, hillock, and elevated table land, protection is afforded on different days, at diverse seasons of the year, from draughts of air, too much sunlight, or insufficiency of the same. Cold and heat, to meet the delicate demands and varied requirements which particular diseases and temperaments impose, even variations in the properties of the at- mosphere may be obtained, so diverse are the exposures and altitudes of the surface of this limited territory (likewise of the temperature). This will not be doubted by any one who has experienced suffering from asthma, or has reflected upon the delicate effects which a change of a very short distance secures. To the normal composition of the air of this region (which we firmly believe challenges comparison upon the Atlantic slope), is added, especially during the months of May and June, the salutary qualities derived from the pine forest growth (the species of which are highly res- inous); whose terebinthinate properties are sensibly incorporated with the air, and form a portion of its ingredients. Persons who have often visited this portion of the South during the winter, and have hurried home upon the first appearance of a warm spring day, have a faint idea of the odor imparted to the atmosphere late in spring and during the early portion of summer, and are insensible to the benefits which might be gained by constantly inhaling for a reasonable length of time air thus laden. If properly and thoroughly appropriated, there can be no ques- tion to a reasonable mind of its being one of the most important adjuvants to the recovery of affections of the respiratory organs, in which catarrh predominates or constitutes a primary or secondary condition. During the winter months the aroma is perceptible, though in a less degree, in the leaves which have fallen, and through exudations from the body of many of the trees. The improvement which we are describing, is under- taken, with the firm conviction after years of observation, that, ordinarily, there is but a minimum of the good derived by a change of climate to this point, that might be obtained by a suitable regulated routine life in the piny woods, extending much later in the spring and summer season, than is now the custom for our Northern and Western guests to femain. There- fore, as a significant aid (here where the most sanitary elements already- elaborated exist), is offered nature’s provisional dispensatory. To con- vince that this is not a theoretical abstraction, or result of too vivid imagi. nation, we have only again to refer to the records of pharmacy and prac- tical medicine—and we find that for centuries, down to the present time, the most distinguished teachers and practitioners of medicine, have exten- sively used from the laboratory, and the drug shop, in prepared form, the identical remedial agent for the alleviation of a class of diseases, and for the cure of special diseases, that is here offered through the simple function of respiration. In efforts to relieve and cure disease, art should receive and draw instructions from nature. We can truly see that, in many instances, nature’s modes and processes are superior to those of art, when our knowledge enables us to appropriate and utilize them. It may be inferred with reason, that the vehicles in which terebinthinate principles, as pre- pared and administered by art, are less agreable and successful than by nature’s process, and through the invigorating air of the locality of THE PAVILION IN THE PARK. 15 Aiken. A modern mode of obtaining the direct effect of the remedy upon diseased tissues of the lungs and air passages is largely by inhalation, which is imitative of nature’s process. The beneficial influence of this class of remedies upon the human system is recognized in several dis- eases other than those of the lungs and throat. The following are some of them: As a diuretic stimulant successfully used in catarrh of the bladder and urinary organs; as a styptic in passive hemorrhages, not only of the lungs and air passages, but of other internal organs. It verifies the opinion of John Hunter, that it is one of the best, if not the only styptic. With the combined effects of this remedy, forms of neuralgia and paralysis have been successfully combated. The volatile oil of turpentine in the treatment of the excruciatingly painful form of neuralgia known as sciatica, is invaluable, as attested by Trosseau and hundreds of others, its reputation standing the tests of the present day. Bathing with the suspended vapor of the oil has furnished great relief to chronic rheumatism. It is in the chronic form of most diseases that the application of the remedy is the most efficient. SUMMARY. To summarize our too long article, we beg to say that we do not in- tend to dogmatize exclusive virtues to the peculiar combination which we regard as constituting the climate of Aiken, and which we treat as embracing the characteristics herein. For, as we regard climate as a combination of tangible and intangible elements and forces, so we define the remedial art as the appropriation and application of ponderable and imponderable substances, the knowledge of which are ascertained by reason, observation, and experience. We do not say or believe, that all sick persons afflicted with disease of the respiratory organs (which are curable) will be equally benefited by a sojourn under the specific influences of this region or latitude. For we recognize fully the difference of temperament—of the physical effects of disease upon dif- ferent individuals, and the contradictory effects of remedial agents of what- ever nature, upon different persons affected nominally with the same pathological condition. We do not say that in the absence of any one of the climatic elements which are found to exist here, a large number of people would not receive benefit by the change—that they would not recuperate; but we do affirm, that, in accordance with our best judgment, observation, and practical experience (extending over a period of fifteen years), the climate of this locality, including the normal atmosphere, its peculiar vitalizing principles; and we further assert, that, by our observa- tion, a change from other latitudes to_ this, and merely breathing the air which permeates dwellings, and neglecting to appropriate and utilize the free effects and privileges furnished by the forest woods, will be productive of but a modicum of the good to the invalid, from the class who are curable, which may be obtained by persistently occupying during the pleasant hours of the day, the open air tabernacle among the pines. That nature’s delicate distillation, through the bursting buds of this beneficent species of the forest kingdom, of a volatile substance, 16 MAMMOTH OAK ON RICHLAND AVENUE. 17 with its strong affinity for the ozone of the atmosphere, which it holds and almost isolates, furnishes a remedial agent, which is of unquestion- able value for inhalation, constituting an important adjuvant in the treatment of lung and throat disease preceding, following, or accom- panying catarrhal disease ; that the added improvement to the Highland Park Hotel of this open air department containing acres of terebinthinate forests, springs of pure water—all enhance the value, and augment the privileges of a lengthy sojourn in that admirably conducted institution. By a succinct glance at what we have written, the obvious design will appear to be a general description of the characteristics and combinations of this local climate, minus accurate details and comparison of cause and effect. For such data we are happy to refer to the carefully prepared and elaborate tables, with the able observations, published by Dr. Wm. H. Geddings in the year 1879, which give records of the temperature, humidity of the atmosphere, etc., of this and various other health resorts. VIEW FROM HIGHLAND PARK HOTEL PIAZZA. 19 EXTRACT OF METEOROLOGICAL DATA, FROM AN ARTICLE BY WM. H. GEDDINGS, M. D., Which appeared in the Charleston Medical Journal and Review. Of all the figures of temperature, that representing the annual mean is perhaps the least important in forming an estimate of the comparative merits of different health resorts. Aiken (62.50°), for instance, is on the same isothermal line as Cadiz (62°), and Palermo (62.70°); but should any one, guided by these figures alone, visit Aiken during the colder season, expecting to find there the balmy air and luxurious vegetation of those semi-tropical regions, he would be disappointed, the difference be- tween the winter mean of these places being at least five degrees. The winter mean (November, December, January), of the three daily obser- vations, taken at 7 A. M., 2 p. M., and 9 p. M., is at Aiken 48.53°, or one a half degrees lower than Nice (50°), six and a half degrees higher than Pau (42°), and one and a half degrees lower than Cannes (50°) and Men- tone (50°),* showing a marked correspondence as to winter temperature with the world-renown sanataria of the Riviera. TEMPERATURE. For the sake of comparison we give below the winter temperature of several stations in different parts of the United States, taken from the U. S. Signal Service Reports for 1874: Boston 30.37 or 18.110 colder than Aiken. New York.. 36.50 or 12.03° “ “ “ Chicago.. 31.53 or 16.90° “ “ “ Cincinnati 39.60 or 8.93° “ “ “ Colorado Springs 31.20 or 17.33° “ “ “ Asheville, N. C.t 40.60 or 7.930 “ “ “ Jacksonville 57-00 °r 8.47° warmer “ “ * The temperature of these foreign resorts is from Madden’s Health Resorts of Europe and Africa, London, 1876. t E. Aston, Climatotherapy. S. E. Chaille, M.D, SPANISH BAYONET IN BLOOM ON HOTEL GROUNDS. 21 The spring (February, March, and April) gives a mean of 550, cor- responding exactly with that of Nice for the same period, and three degrees higher than that of Mentone. The mean temperature of Aiken for the spring being 550 F. That of— Boston is 34-20 or 20.80° colder than Aiken. New York is 37.10 or 17.90° “ “ “ Chicago is 35.50 or 19.50° “ “ “ Cincinnati is 43.53 or 1 x.47° “ “ “ Colorado Springs is 32.83 or 22.17° “ “ “ Asheville, N. C., is 45.93 or 9.07° “ “ “ Jacksonville, Fla., is 65.13 or 10.13° warmer “ “ The mean of the three summer months is 75°, or six degrees warmer than New York. The average temperature for the autumn at Aiken is 71°; a high figure, which fails to convey a fair idea of the fall season, the mean of August (76), which more properly belongs to the summer, being included. Deducting the latter, we have as the mean of September and October 68° F. Points of much greater importance than the mean temperature are the annual and daily extremes of heat and cold, and the rapidity with which these changes of temperature occur; but even here we must remind the reader that this after all is only a single element, and, taken of itself, fails to convey a correct idea of the worth of any individual climate. In all dry climates these variations of temperature are considerable, and Aiken is of course no exception to the rule that “ wherever the air is dry, we are liable to daily extremes of the temperature. By day, in such places, the sun heat reaches the earth unimpeded, and renders the maximum high; by night, on the other hand, the earth’s heat escapes unhindered into space, and renders the maximum low. Hence the difference between the maximum and minimum is greater where the air is driest.” (Tyndall.) The desert of Sahara, which has perhaps one of the driest climates in the world, the mean relative humidity being 28°, it excelled by few in point of variability, the thermometer during the night frequently falling to 32°, after having stood in the afternoon at 86°. The average diurnal range, or the mean of the difference between the lowest and highest temperature of every day in the year, is at Aiken 12.65,* which is a low figure for a climate as dry as that of North America, and represents, as we shall presently prove, a degree of equability seldom met with at any health station north of Key West. Santa Barbara, Cal., is the only health resort of importance for which we possess a complete set of thermometric observations for each day extending over a whole year; They were taken by Dr. Dimmick, at 7 A. M., 2 p. M., and 9 p. M. Comparing them with our own observations taken at Aiken for the same period, and taken at similar hours, we find that the mean of the diurnal range at Santa Barbara is a little less than one degree greater than at Aiken. ; This figure represents the difference between the highest and lowest observation, taken at 7 A. m., 2 P. M., and 9 P. M., and, in this instance, not the range of the maximum and minimum thermometer. 22 A POPULAR DRIVE Table showing the Mean of the Diurnai Range of Temperature. i873- Santa Barbara.

It will thus be seen that in point of equability, Aiken, although far from being perfect, is unsurpassed by but one health resort of import- ance, viz., San Diego. Madden states that at Pau he has known the thermometer to vary 20° in three hours. Funchal, on the Island of Madeira, has a winter and spring range of 150, which is 20 less than that of Aiken. In the excessively dry climate of Upper Egypt the average variation for the same period is 30°. Guided by the results obtained from the above tables, we would therefore class the climate of Aiken as one of the most equable on the North American Continent, bearing in mind that they are more or less variable. A climate is popularly said to be moist when the dews are heavy, fogs frequent; when salt melts readily on exposure; when the vapor condenses on the walls; when steel or iron utensils quickly rust; where mould forms rapidly; where mosses flourish, and where, owing to slow evaporation, the perspiration remains for a long time on the skin. A dry climate, on the other hand, is characterized by the rapid drying of clothing, absence of mould, mosses, etc.; by the desiccation of meats and their slower de- composition ; stiffness and brittleness of the hair and beard, etc. In estimating climates according to their humidity, Vivenot* adopts the following classification : HUMIDITV I. Dry Climates, a ) Excessively dry, 1—55%" relative humidity, h \ Moderately dry, 56—70% “ “ 2. Moist Climates, a } Moderately moist, 71— 85% relative humidity. b Excessively moist, 89—100% “ “ The mean of relative humidity at Aiken being 64.04, that place, accord- ing to this table, would rank as only moderately dry, but tested by the more popular signs above mentioned, it would be considered very dry. Steel instruments may be exposed for months without rusting, and we have never known matches to miss fire from softening of the ends, even when left in unheated rooms. Kid gloves never spot, and boots and shoes are seldom covered with mould. Another proof of the dryness of the air is afforded by the frisure of women’s hair, the crimps and curls re- taining their form for days. The gray tree moss, Tillandsia, which adds so much to the somber grandeur of the Southern forests, and which is an unfailing sign of moisture, and often, too, of malaria, does not exist in the neighborhood, notwithstanding the fact that various attempts have been made from time to time to cultivate it. Relying on the absence of these signs of moisture, we were greatly sur- prised at not finding a much lower percentage of relative humidity ; but a more extended acquaintance with the Meteorology of other stations soon * Rudolph v. Vivenot, Ueber die Messung der Luftfenchtigheit. Schmidt’s Jahr- bucher Band, 132 s 248. 26 convinced us that Aiken was not peculiar in this respect. Prague, in the center of Bohemia, and Palermo, on the sea coast, have both a mean rela- tive humidity of 72 per cent, and certainly no one would consider the cli- mate of these two places as equally dry. Observations of relative humidity have never been generally taken, and data for comparison are consequently difficult to obtain.

This table shows that Aiken is drier than either of the above mentioned stations, except Hyeres and Cannes, and in these instances the dryness is undoubtedly increased by the frequent prevalence of the baneful mistral, with which the invalid emigrant would gladly part, even at the sacrifice of a considerable percentage of dryness. At Aiken, as would naturally be expected from the dryness of the atmos- phere, the amount of vapor precipitated in the form of dew is relatively insignificant, and during a residence extending over a period of ten years, we have never witnessed what would, in most localities, be denominated as a heavy deposit of dew. During the warmer months of the year the inhabitants pass the greater portion of the time out of doors, some of them even sleeping in the open air with no shelter over them, without experiencing any ill effects, as proven by the extreme rarity of rheumatic affections and acute diseases of the air passages at that season of the year. frosts are not very frequent even during midwinter, and seldom occur more than once or twice after the third week of March. Aside from the injury they do vegetation, they may practically be said to be over after the middle of March. Having studied in detail the various phenomena which constitute what is denominated climate, and determined by meteorological observations and comparative tables to what extent they are present in the special climate which is the subject of this article, it remains for us now to con- sider them as a whole, and assign to Aiken its true climatic status. We find that it is moderately cool, quite dry, slightly variable, and that it has a larger proportion of fair weather than almost any American resort east of the Rocky Mountains. Comparing it with foreign sanitaria, we find that it has the same average winter temperature as Nice, Mentone, an J Cannes, but with somewhat greater range; that in point of humidity it is superior to all of them, except Hyeres and Cannes, where the lesser percentage of moisture is in a measure due to the prevalence of the mistral. These cli- GENERAL CHARACTER OF THE AIKEN CLIMATE. 28 mates are characterized by Bennet as “ cool, sunny, bracing, stimulating, and dry,” which are the very qualities that all intelligent writers have employed in their descriptions of the climatic characteristics of Aiken.* CONCLUSION. The advantages of Aiken as a winter resort may be briefly summed up as follows: 1. A dry, bracing climate, with an abundance of bright sunshine. 2. The entire absence of malaria. 3. Better hotels and boarding houses than are usually met with in Southern resorts, with good food and excellent attendance. 4. The ease and comfort with which it is reached, parlor and sleeping cars running through from New York in thirty-one hours. * There is no severer test for a climate than its efficacy in the treatment of that scourge of humanity, consumption; but even in this disease we find that a larger proportion are benefited at Aiken than at any. health resort for which we have been able to obtain pub- lished data. In an article published in the New York Medical Record of January 14, 1882, Dr. Ged- dings gives the result of 113 cases treated at Aiken during a period of three years, as follows: Arrested 17 cases 15.2 percentage. Improved 50 “ 44.6 “ Unchanged 10 “ 8.8 “ Grew worse 29 “ 25.2 “ Died 7 “ 6.2 “ The results achieved at Aiken not only compared favorably with those of other celebrated resorts, but surpass most of them in the number of cases benefited. According to Her- man Weber, one of the most recent authorities on this subject, 41.2 of his cases at Madeira improved, 17.6 remained unchanged, while 42,1 grew worse. On the Riviera da Ponente, his results were as follows: 47.6 improved, 11.75 remained unchanged, and 34.9 grew worse. Adding together the cases in which the disease was arrested, 15.2, and those which improved, 44.6, we have 58.8 benefited, or 18.6 more than at Madeira, and 12.6 more than on the Riviera. THE HIGHLAND PARK HOTEL s located on the brow of a hill, and commands an extensive and pleasant view. The house is capable of accommodating two hundred and fifty guests; is in first-class order, being constantly repaired, renovated, and new furniture added, to retain its high prestige. Pure spring water is conducted to all parts of the building, and drainage from the premises is perfect, the greatest care having been taken in perfecting this important department. The least supposable vestige or trace of any nuisance or disease-producing element does not exist. We in confidence challenge criticism in this respect, or comparison with any health resort in this country or abroad. Bedrooms and parlors, arranged in suites, are desirable as to location and size, there being none but outside rooms, and nearly all having open fire-places and sunny exposure. Saloon parlor arranged for private theatricals; gas and electrical bells in every room ; bath rooms on each floor. Five stairways, leading to upper stories, offer sufficient egress. Billiard room, bowling alley, tennis courts, croquet grounds, and a well- stocked livery stable, in which saddle-horses are a prominent feature (horseback riding being a favorite amusement), connected with the hotel. The table is abundantly supplied, and the cooking department carefully attended to. Supplies are received direct from New York City—all our beef, mutton, poultry, etc., coming from Washington Market. There are also in the hotel the W. U. Telegraph, and General Railroad and Steam- ship Ticket Office, etc. Apart from the Highland Park Hotel, there are ample accommodations for visitors. THE PARK AVENUE HOTEL, under the same proprietorship, is now in thorough repair, all needed im- provements have been made, and is open when necessary to meet the re- quirements of travel. Excellent and well-appointed boarding houses are scattered throughout the village. HOW TO REACH AIKEN. Situated upon the S. C, R. R., 120 miles from Charleston and 17 miles from Augusta, Ga., Aiken is easily accessible from all points. Travelers from the North and East have the choice of several routes. All railroad and steamship lines leading South sell through tickets and check baggage to Aiken. Pullman cars on all through trains. 31 hours New York to Aiken. The management of the South Carolina R. R. always arrange a close connection upon their road for Aiken passengers, either at Graniteville Junction, Charleston, or Augusta. Those residing in the Western States, who contemplate visiting Aiken, it is unnecessary to confuse, perhaps, by enumerating the various routes to Atlanta, Ga., the terminal point, and which is 190 miles west of Aiken.
