Full of life and brightness, with every entertainment and sport you can think of, it ia a tónic in itself. Then, too, there are the famous naturi mineral waters-87 in number -and numerous medial treatments for tropical ailments. Everything, in short, to send you back-not just a man, bui" dynamite."
