The mean relative humidity for the five winter months of severallocalities, recommended as health resorts, is shown in a table compiledby C. J. Kenworthy, M.D., of Jacksonville, Fla., and published by him inhis work on “The Climatology of Florida.” I take the liberty of usinghis data. The humidity of St. Augustine during the winter months isnearly the same as that of Jacksonville. At Mentone and Cannes the meanrelative humidity for the five months, beginning in November, is ...72 4/10 per cent.
Breckenridge, Minn.79 6/10“
Bismark, Dak.76 5/10“
Nassau, N. P.73 2/10“
Punta Rassa, Fla. (on the Gulf coast)72 7/10“
Jacksonville, “68 8/10“

Thus it will be seen that, although we sometimes have fogs and cloudy weather, the humidity of the atmosphere is less than that of several noted health resorts, some of which are at a considerable elevation. Finally, the medical attendance and supply of nourishing and appetizing food available at St. Augustine are all that could be desired. The hotels and boarding-houses are excellent; while the opportunities and inducements for open-air recreations and exercises are superior.

With the close connections furnished by the lines of railway lately completed to Jacksonville, that city will doubtless become the objective point of the Florida-bound tourist. At that place time-tables can be obtained of the river steamers and the railway from Tocoi, on the St. Johns River, to St. Augustine; and, by correspondence, accommodations can be secured in advance, during the season, when the hotels and boarding-houses of St. Augustine are likely to be crowded.

All visitors to Florida, and especially those who come for recreation, should be sure to spend a portion of the season, at least, in St. Augustine.
