Excerpt from The Modern Climatic Treatment of Invalids With Pulmonary Consumption in Southern California
In preparing this little hand-book I have undertaken to be as brief as possible. Having been originally intended for the Church, and whilst preparing for that occupation having been convinced that some characters cannot - for their moral good - too often ponder upon and recite the ten command ments, it may be found that I have indulged in frequent repetitions. I look upon a physical delinquent pretty much as upon a moral one - and you cannot make him repeat the laws of health too often for his own good. In fact, some would require a Don Doctor Pedro Rezio de Aguera, Licen tiate of the venerable University of Ossuna, continually at their side, just such a one as attended the unlucky Sancho Panza when he would have gormandized and probably gone off with the gout or apoplexy from a too free indulgence in roasted partridges in his island government.

Excerpt from The Modern Climatic Treatment of Invalids With Pulmonary Consumption in Southern California
The spectacled and bald-headed man of science, sitting at our bedside and with finger on our pulse, will then tell us that the haunts that knew us once cannot know us more not if we wish to live. We must take, he will tell us, the demoralized remains of our internal anatomy into such climes as will deal kindly with such a bankrupt stock. We will be told that our future will depend on making an all-around compromise, and that we must so regulate the demands on our economy that our organs will be called upon to do but a mere fraction of their former work, or be obliged to exhibit but a small fraction of their former resistance.
We will be advised to take ourselves off to Southern California and go into its climatic stocks or in its atmospheric dry-dock for repairs. How much repair can be made will greatly depend on how soon we go into dock after noticing signs of a breakdown. None come too early.
