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.
