“Those who have been overtasked in the battle of life, and who feel their strength failing from the operation of the many causes of mental strain in business; those who are getting old and yet, having no disease, require rest, will find, in quiet and repose, that renewed vigour they stand in need of, during a six months` residence in the pure air of Madeira. There are few public amusements it is true, but an invalid will not care for them. Society can be had the hotels, but better health up the hill sides.” (pg. 89)
