The Gulf Stream tlows one hundred miles from ourshores and has a temperature of 80 I, in summer and 70 1\ in winter at thispoint. This certainly tempers the sea air and surrounding waters so that in winterAtlantic City is from ten to twenty degrees warmer than the interior, and ten totwenty degrees cooler in summer. High winds are less frequent than at otherpoints on the coast, although sea air is always in motion. Sea air fixed w ith seafog is not injurious to most cases as it contains no noxious elements: is non-irritant: and is quite equable in temperature. The effects of sea air vary with the individual and conditions of health. Thetwo greatest effects are upon the nervous system and digestion. Coming from thedense air of cities and the rarified air of high altitudes, respiration and heart actionare both lowered, at once reducing the consuming energy of the body and lessen-ing waste. .Sea air being dense and ozone ladened increases the oxidizing iiciwer ■S-: (). of tlic blooil ami is natures best rcnicily tor anoniia and inipoxrrislK-il hlooil. Italso assists nature in fighling the malarial parasite and will in time eliminate the]ioison from the system in many cases. Malarious subjects frequently overloadtheir stomachs and overheat themselves when they first come here and sit and ridein the cool air and bring on acute paroxysms, but if care is exercised the usual chillcan be escaped. One can also go out at night without danger of developing themalarial poisons in the svstem if care is taken to avoid chilling and cold. Heartdiseases usually do better in sea air than at high altitudes as the work thrown nnthat organ is lessened and oxidation of the blood is so much better that imprdve-ment is the rule. Cardiac dropsy often improves from this cause. Probably no cases are more benefited than convalescents f
