ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY 
 
 Atlantic City, N. J. 
 
 Favored with a climate almost ideal throughout the year, in 
 winter mild, equable and agreeable, governed by the warm Gulf 
 Stream and laden with Nature's tonic, invigorating salt air, the 
 days are bright, balmy and sunshiny; in summer the air is always 
 cool and exhilarating. The Boardwalk, a seven-mile esplanade 
 skirting the sea is unequaled for promenading and enjoyment of 
 the popular rolling chair. The bathing beach is the finest in the 
 world. The superb 18-hole Golf Links are carefully tended. A 
 Hberally-managed club house is maintained. The city has elegant 
 asphalt and macadam avenues throughout, a sixty-foot boulevard 
 for automobiling, riding and driving; modern garages. Every 
 facility for the complete enjoyment of all outdoor pleasures. 
 Magnificent ocean piers open all year; elegant theatres, and an 
 endless list of high-class amusement places are continuously 
 furnishing the most up-to-date and popular attractions known 
 to the amusement world for all kinds of social diversions. 
 
 When the question arises "which is 
 
 the most delightful spot on earth 
 
 where one may enjoy under the most favorable conditions the 
 greatest degree of benefit for one's health, happiness and finances," 
 Atlantic City is the place that comes nearest being ideal. It is 
 
 beyond all question the greatest Health 
 Resort in the world, and what place can 
 equal it for the great diversity of pleas- 
 ures and recreations to be found here. 
 You go away rejuvenated physically, 
 happy in spirit and with a determin- 
 ation to return at the first opportunity. 
 There is no other city where the 
 spirit of hospitality is more boundless, 
 or where all that pertains to 
 
 the comfort of the guest is 
 more accessible. 
 
 Without a possibility of 
 contradiction Atlantic City 
 has more and greater claims 
 to distinction as a health and 
 ]:)leasure resort than any other 
 like place in the world, not 
 excepting an ocean voyage 
 and tour of the Continent.

 The Atlantic City 
 Free Information Bureau 
 
 10 South New York Avenue 
 Atlantic City, N. J. 
 
 This Bureau is maintained by hotel men and merchants of 
 Atlantic City for the purpose of giving out free information to the 
 traveling public regarding hotel accommodations and attractions 
 of the "Queen Resort." 
 
 No fees are required or accepted. Being in constant com- 
 munication with all of the good houses, this Bureau is in a position 
 to instantly refer inquirers to the hotel which is most likelv to 
 suit their requirements at the rates they prefer to pav. 
 
 Knowing just what accommodations are available and being 
 personally acquainted with the standing of the respective houses, 
 we are in a position to make the best possible selection and in 
 most instances are able to make more advantageous arrangements 
 for our correspondents than it is possible for individual parties who 
 endeavor to make their own arrangements. Arrangements made 
 through this Bureau safeguards the visitor from the possibility 
 of unknowingly selecting an undesirable hotel, as w^ell as being 
 imposed upon by being overcharged. 
 
 If unable to arrange for your accommodations in advance 
 you will find it greatly to your advantage to go directly to 
 our Bureau on your arrival in Atlantic City and be referred 
 to the hotel that is most likely to furnish the particular style 
 of accommodations you require at the rate you wish to pay. 
 
 In 10 minutes after arriving in Atlantic City by the aid and 
 personal advice of the vSecretary of the Bureau, you can have every 
 good hotel in the city to select from with free telephone service 
 for making Your Own Arrangements, and a City Map to Show 
 Exactly Where You Are Going. 
 
 Information about Real Estate for Sale or Rent. 
 
 Waiting room for ladies — hand baggage taken care of.

 Good Advice 
 On an Important Subiect 
 
 Every traveler should exercise extreme care in making a 
 selection of the hotel at which to stop, as the pleasures and 
 benefits of a visit depend largely on securing satisfactory accom- 
 modations. 
 
 As our system of arranging for Hotel Accommodations has 
 worked out most satisfactorily both to the public and hotel 
 proprietors, travelers will find it to their advantage to be guided 
 by the following instructions: 
 
 MAKE RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCE WHENEVER POSSIBLE 
 
 To avoid the possibiHty of not finding just the kind of accom- 
 modations that you require available on your arrival it is always 
 advisable to arrange for accommodations before leaving home. 
 
 By filling in and mailing whichever one of our "Satisfaction 
 is Guaranteed " forms, Nos. 1, 2 or 3, described on the next page, 
 which may be applicable to your case, and following our instruc- 
 tions, you may be assured that your accommodations will be 
 satisfactory on arrival. Only the best hotels at the respective 
 rates are recommended by the Bureau, and our correspon= 
 dents always get the benefit of the lowest possible rates 
 commensurate with the grade of accommodations furnished. 
 In every instance where arrangements for accommodations 
 are made through the Bureau we issue a written guarantee 
 that accommodations are reserved at hotel selected subject to 
 approval and must be satisfactory on arrival. If for any reason 
 accommodations should not be entirely satisfactory at the house 
 first selected — no obligation of any kind has been incurred by 
 our correspondent — and satisfactory accommodations will be 
 secured by the Bureau at some other house free of expense. 
 
 Since the inauguration of our plan of issuing these guarantees 
 we have made thousands of reservations and in almost every case 
 the accommodations at the house first selected have been entirely 
 satisfactory, owing to the extreme care and precaution taken 
 against the selection of houses that may prove disappointing to 
 the guest. The object of our Bureau is first to publish the in- 
 imitable attractions of our beautiful resort, and secondly, and of 
 equal importance, to see that each guest who visits our city, as far 
 as possible, goes away satisfied and delighted. The old saying 
 
 "A satisfied customer is the best advertisement " 
 is particularly true of a metropolitan resort like Atlantic City, 
 which depends for support not on the stray visitor, but upon the 
 vast multitude of regular visitors who have come and been pleased 
 and benefited and therefore are glad to come again and again 
 and to recommend the attractions of the resort to their friends.

 FORM NO. 1 
 
 When you have made a selection of the hotel you prefer to stop at fill 
 in and mail Form No. 1 on the next page. Immediately on receipt of your 
 instructions we will communicate with the hotel of your choice and notify 
 you promptly if accommodations can be reserved as you request. If unable 
 to secure the accommodations you specify at the hotel and rate indicated 
 we will at once advise you and await your further instructions. 
 
 In season many of the houses are full, out of season many are closed. 
 When a selection is left with us we can always refer our correspondents to 
 the hotel that has the particular style of accommodations that may be 
 required and at the most advantageous rates. 
 
 In making arrangements for accommodations we take every precaution 
 to insure to the guest an agreeable and pleasant visit and can invariably be 
 of service to all who follow our advice. 
 
 FORM NO. 2 
 
 If you prefer to leave selection of hotel to our discretion fill in and mail 
 Form No. 2. We will make the best possible selection, and are in a position 
 to render valuable assistance in making arrangements for you, being person- 
 ally acquainted with the different houses having the particular style of 
 accommodations most likely to be satisfactory to you at the rates you prefer 
 to pay. 
 
 A stranger is necessarily at a great disadvantage in selecting a hotel 
 without the advice or assistance of some one who knows of the best places 
 to recommed. Our Bureau is maintained to render such assistance, to 
 safeguard visitors not only from going to undesirable houses and being 
 overcharged, but to aid in securing the lowest rates commensurate with the 
 grade of accommodations furnished. 
 
 Unfortunately there are houses that will make misleading representa- 
 tions and offer what may appear to be great inducements which result in 
 disappointment to their unadvised correspondents and against such we 
 deem it only fair to offer a word of warning to the public. 
 
 FORM NO. 3 
 
 Should you prefer to hear from several houses and receive full informa- 
 tion as to the rates and accommodations that the different ones may have 
 to offer before making a final selection of your stopping jjlace, fill in and 
 mail Form No. 3. Information as to rates and full particulars regarding 
 accommodations obtainable at each house mentioned is secured from the 
 manager or proprietor direct and a detailed report on the advantages of 
 each house is mailed with our reply together with the personal advice and 
 recommendation of the Secretary of the Bureau whenever desired. As only 
 the best houses at the respective rates will be recommended our corres- 
 pondents may be relieved of the uncertainty of making an imwise choice. 
 
 In giving the names of houses you want information from, please 
 confine the number to houses of your first choice, thereby facilitating our 
 work.

 Some Distinctive Features 
 
 Responsible for Atlantic City's Popularity 
 
 THE DELIGHTFUL CLIMATE 
 
 " How mild it is here" is the common and frequent expression 
 of the Winter residents and visitors. The winds that come from the 
 Gulf Stream-heated Atlantic, tempered to a southern softness, are 
 most accountable for a climate one would expect to prevail at some 
 coral isle in the southern Pacific. January, and it is spring at 
 Atlantic City, the thermometer marking 80°. 
 
 From the North, the East, the West, and even from the South, 
 comes the same story of ice and snow, wind and cold, which tells us 
 what winter means to so many; but here is the warmth and bright- 
 ness of the sunshine which Atlantic City's southern outlook daily 
 claims as its right all winter, with summer cool as in the Canadas. 
 
 THE BOARDWALK 
 
 The boardwalk, an avenue of planking, is an invention of 
 Atlantic City. When its popularity was assured, other seaside re- 
 sorts followed, but none have equaled, much less surpassed, the 
 famous water-front. promenade of the chief Atlantic Ocean pleasure 
 town. This extraordinary structure, of world-wide celebrity, is the 
 greatest artificial attraction of the cit}'-. Fifty to sixty feet in 
 width, built on steel supports twelve feet above the beach, along 
 which it extends for seven miles, a view from any point along its 
 great planked surface is a remarkable sight. It has been estimated 
 that during the Easter holidays, or any day in July and August, 
 150,000 people may be seen promenading and sightseeing at one 
 time on this popular walk, yet it never seems overcrowded. Open- 
 ing uninterruptedly to the sea and backed by the hundreds of 
 stores, places of amusement and the magnificient hotels with 
 their beautiful surroundings, in 
 the day-time it seems a pathway 
 of Paradise, in the evening an en- 
 chanted fairyland. The deep, heavy 
 pulse of the ocean's great tides roll- 
 ing up to its very base, and the 
 Hsping laughter of the rippling 
 waves under the sheen of silvery 
 moon, lend to it a romantic en- 
 chantment impossible to describe.

 PROMENADING ON THE BOARDWALK 
 
 Perhaps the resort's greatest attraction, at least one that has 
 added more to the celebrity of Atlantic City as a winter and 
 
 summ-er health and 
 
 pleasure resort, is prom- 
 
 -M^ '*"" ''-jA enading on this cele- 
 
 '"^^W *^^!fe^'., brated ocean avenue. 
 
 Whether strolling or roll- 
 ing along in the fine 
 wicker- woven carriage 
 chair, the charm and de- 
 light in life are exquisite. 
 It is here also, that the 
 interesting, anim.ated, 
 joyous and happy life of 
 the resort centres. On 
 one side lies the beach 
 with its white sand and 
 its caressing waves, and 
 beyond stretches away the illimitable sea with its rolling billows, 
 its lights and shadows, its whitecaps and its sails. Here and 
 there along the boardwalk pavilions have been erected, where one 
 may sit with the ocean breeze in his face and watch the bathers 
 sport, the breaking waves, the distant ships, the nearer yachts, or 
 the undulations of the sea. Turning, there is another scene, a 
 constant stream of ever-varying but always joyous life. This 
 scene during the early hours of evening is one worthy to behold 
 and to be held in remembrance. The life, the light, the color, 
 are wonderful. The animation, the laughter, and the overflow- 
 ing good humor are irresistible. To take this promenade at any 
 time is a supreme pleasure. The endless but orderly throng, with 
 its bright colors, the electric lights and illuminated shop-windows, 
 the rolling chairs, the splashing waves, the soft air, the iridescent 
 sea, the full moon over the sea, and over all the beautiful heavens, 
 ins])ire a sweet ecstasy seldom experienced. Funny incidents 
 constantly occurring there is sufficent to arouse the most blase 
 and to cure the most confirmed of misanthropes.

 THE MUNICIPALITY— TOPOGRAPHY 
 
 The city stands upon an island, separated from the mainland 
 by a broad stretch of inlets and salt meadows. This island is low 
 and level, the soil is pure sand, absorbing 
 and draining away moisture quickly, an ad- 
 mirable system of public sanitation being 
 maintained. The water-supply is obtained 
 from artesian w-ells and is ample for house- 
 hold uses and fire purposes. I^ffective police 
 and fire departments exist; the city is lighted 
 by gas and electricity and has a system of elec- 
 tric street cars connecting all important points. 
 
 The arrangement of streets is in straight 
 lines, forming "squares." The main thorough- 
 fares iunning east and w^est, parallel with the 
 
 seashore, are all named alter oceans first, nearest the shore, Paeilic 
 Avenue; then Atlantic (the Broadway of the town), and northward, 
 in succession, Arctic, Baltic, Mediterranean, Adriatic, Caspian, etc. 
 The streets running at right angles to these are named after 
 various States, beginning with Maine at the east end of the 
 island, along the shore of Absecon Inlet, and extending w-estw-ard. 
 These are divided into "North" and "South" by Atlantic 
 Avenue. Both railw^ay stations are in the centre of town, 
 on Atlantic Avenue, the Pennsylvania at Tennessee and the 
 Reading at Arkansas Avenue. Intermediate streets have also 
 been cut through the large squares here and there. 
 
 The permanent population 43,000 persons. The average 
 August population one day (estimated) 300,000; value of real 
 estate, $92,000,000; number of churches, 30 (all denominations 
 being represented). A magnificent public (Carnegie) library; num- 
 ber of banks and trust companies, 8 ; lighthouse, 167 feet

 AMUSEMENTS, BATHING 
 
 Pre-eminently the greatest amusement and recreation of the 
 resort is the bathing. Atlantic City possesses one of the most 
 perfect bathing beaches in the world. It shelves off 
 very gradually so that no life lines are necessary, an 
 undertow being seldom known. The temperature of 
 the water rolling through the hot forty-mile belt of 
 the Gulf Stream is always mild and high in the 
 summer months, making bathing a delight. The 
 constant attendance of a very large patrol of Hfe 
 savers eUminates every possible feature of danger. 
 So attractive is this health-giving exercise and recre- 
 ation that it is not unusual to see at one time 40,000 
 persons, from wee children to aged people, sporting 
 in the surf. 
 
 PIERS 
 
 Orchestra and band concerts by organizations of national 
 reputation, very high-grade theatrical performances, and refined 
 amusements of every description can be heard and seen on any of 
 the great piers extending into the ocean from 500 to 3000 feet. 
 The capacity of the immense auditoriums, dancing pavilions and 
 theatres on these piers is astonishing. The high class and volume 
 of the amusements offered are remarkable, considering the ad- 
 mittance fee is only ten and twenty-five cents and the tone of the 
 crowds and surroundings so exclusive. 
 
 OTHER DELIGHTFUL ATTRACTIONS 
 
 Yachting, iishing, golf, automobiling, and driving may be en- 
 joyed any time ; the new Carnegie library ; the casino with full con- 
 cert orchestra, reading rooms, bowling, sea baths and swimming 
 pool; Absecon Hght house; U. S. hfe saving station.

 COUNTRY CLUB AND GOLF LINKS 
 
 The new and imposing club house of the Atlantic City Country 
 Club is situated on the mainland, about six miles from Atlantic 
 City. The drive thither is over a hard and smooth 
 road, crossing the meadows to Pleasantville, thence 
 along the old "Shore Road" to the grounds of the 
 club, overlooking the bay. The outlook from these £/ | fKiJ^ 
 grounds is delightful. The property of the Country 
 Club consists of 105 acres of as fine land as can be 
 found anywhere on the New Jersey coast. The 
 links consist of eighteen holes. The house is one 
 of the finest in the country. It is located on a 
 ridge overlooking Lake's Bay, twenty minutes ride 
 by either trolley or steam car. 
 
 THE CASINO 
 
 The Casino on the boardwalk, in the centre of 
 the city and nearly opposite the City Park, is one of the recog- 
 nized centers of social life. Here is maintained both winter 
 and spring a high-grade musical organization which gives con- 
 certs during the day and evening. 
 
 THE TROLLEY RIDE TO LONGPORT 
 
 Is a very attractive excursion. Taking the car on Atlantic 
 Avenue, you reach the lower end of the city. From here to Long- 
 port, at the southern end of the island, is a dehghtful run along the 
 the beach through Chelsea, Ventnor, and South Atlantic — beauti- 
 ful suburbs. At Longport a staunch little steamer is taken for. a 
 ride across Great Egg Harbor Bay to Somers Point or to Ocean 
 City.

 A 
 
 TLx\NTlC CITY is known the world over as a summer 
 resort, a winter resort, a pleasure resort — the show 
 place of the fashionables at Easter, a great convention 
 city, the play ground of the Nation and a common 
 meeting place for all sorts of business, political and 
 social conferences, but its main claim to distinction as 
 a "Health Resort " overshadows the importance of 
 all its other favorable attributes which have made this resort 
 so popular with its millions of visitors. 
 
 Several elements of natural advantages have combined to 
 make it the perfect "Health Resort of the Western Hemisphere," 
 the grand old ocean with its unequaled health giving qualities, 
 the city's advantageous location, the delightful and equable 
 climate, the excellent sanitary regulations by the local Board of 
 Health, the beautiful surroundings and serene social environments, 
 the unexcelled advantages of our famous beach for surf bathing and 
 sun baths, the absolute purity of our drinking water from any 
 disease breeding germs, and the w^onderful purity and stimulating 
 effects of our ozone laden and pine imbued atmosphere, the com- 
 forts of our hotels and perfect equipment of our sanitariums and 
 hospitals — these and a great many other equally important causes 
 are the combined forces which have made our city the "Grand 
 Health Resort" that it is for all seekers after this, the most im- 
 portant of all temporal blessings — 
 
 HEALTH 
 
 To eimmerate all the diseases that may be benefited and 
 cured by a visit to our city -would make an article on that subject 
 read like some cleverly composed pamphlet written by an over- 
 enthusiastic advertising agent exploiting some patent medicine 
 purporting to be a "Cure for all ills" a "Panacea for all pain." 
 There are a great many diseases, or rather disordered conditions 
 of health, due to disturbances of metabolism, which disappear 
 when the processes of assimilation, nutrition and elimination are 
 ])romoted and made perfect and health is thus restored, and as all 
 the conditions here are favorable to produce these results, our city 
 is a Mecca for sufferers^ from^varied^ailments of ^this character

 which are here benefited to the greatest extent, but to particu- 
 larize as to a few of the largest classes of invaHds who are bene- 
 fited here the following may be men- 
 tioned : The large class of neurasthen- 
 ics, cases of nervous prostration, etc., 
 mostly caused in some way by faulty 
 elimination, 
 
 The regular and restful Hfe, the 
 strong, bracing air, the greatly im- 
 proved sleep at night, the superior fa- 
 cilities for carrying out the rest cure in 
 appropriate instances and administer- 
 ing various baths (hot and cold sea 
 water, salt rubs, etc.), massage, elec- 
 tricity, cures the most intractable 
 cases, not the least beneficial influence 
 being a suggestive power of seeing 
 many ill people, all getting well. The second largest class are 
 people suffering from some of the forms of disturbed metabolism, 
 uric-acidaemea, lithaemia, gout, chronic rheumatism, etc. The 
 rapidity of restoration to health witnessed in the average case is a 
 little short of miraculous. 
 
 This must be credited to the oxygenation of the blood secured ; 
 the various eliminative processes of treatment followed in the way 
 of baths, exercise, massage, proper dietetics, etc., together with the 
 "visatergo" imparted by the dry and strongly stimulating climate 
 and the general life of the place, so conducive to recovery of health. 
 The following chronic diseases are among the class of cases 
 benefited here: Bright's disease, diabetes, heart disease, loco- 
 motor ataxia, paralysis, hysteria, epilepsy, paralysis agetus. No- 
 where else in the United States can be had the same systematic 
 treatment at the hands of experts, the regularly ordered life, the 
 comfortable hotels, and the valuable adjuvant treatment available, 
 constituting a most healthy environment in these chronic con- 
 ditions. A great many cures are effected, and a great prolongation 
 of life and vastly increased comfort are secured for all.

THE QUEEN OF A h h RESORTS 
 
 THE WORLD'S GREATEST SANITARIUM 
 
 The Causes for its Greatness as an All- the- Year Health Resort are: 
 
 THE HEALTH BUILDING WINDS 
 
 From the landward side the prevailing winds are from the 
 southwest. Coming over the aromatic pine-lands of southern 
 New Jersey, they bring all Nature's wonderful tonic, emanating 
 from the great virgin forests. Continuously, yet gently, sweeping 
 in from the ocean, after a course of forty miles over the heated 
 waters of the Gulf Stream, come the ever prevailing southeast 
 trade winds. These two remarkable winds seem to make this en- 
 chanted island the place of final destination. Their meeting here 
 has tended to produce the conviction among scientists that they 
 are the prime cause for the remarkable equability of tempera- 
 ture — 45° to 70° — which prevails throughout the year at Atlantic 
 City; the pressure of the great mass of the ocean's waters, of course, 
 effecting its part in the remarkable modification. 
 
 It should be natural to infer that the meeting of these two 
 winds would tend to create storms and convulsions in the elements; 
 nevertheless, the reverse is the condition produced. Whether 
 strong or light, they appear to eddy together creating an atmos- 
 phere filled with the tonic of the pines and the pure ozone of the 
 sea air. Everbody unconsciously feels a desire to gulp down great 
 breaths of this pure, crisp, saline-filled atmosphere. The nerves' 
 pulse deepen; the heart throbs with more regularity; the intellect 
 springs to a higher plane; food, raiment, and affairs become a 
 secondary thought; the future takes on a new aspect; one's being 
 is endowed with new life; it seems to be a simple miracle and the 
 "eternal spring of youth" from the great laboratory of nature. 
 The ill soon recover; the convalescent gets well; the sturdy and 
 strong five and romp in the new strength of life inhaled from this 
 wonderful atmosphere. 
 
 Another feature entering into the consideration of the visitor 
 is the remarkable quality of the drinking water yielded from 
 artesian wells, geologic survey of this water 
 horizon, made by the U. S. Department of 
 the Interior, shows it to be protected between 
 two great beds of clay, the upper one being 
 the one known as the "Great Diatom Bed." 
 This absolutely protects the water from any 
 possible pollution. Forty miles away it enters 
 this stratum between the two beds of clay, 
 and nothing comes to us more wholesome 
 and satisfying than this pure water. The 
 mineral constituents are of the mild alka- 
 line class, and, while in very small amounts, 
 are useful in uric-acid diathesis if the water is drunk freely and 
 for a protracted period.

ATLANTIC CITY 
 
 NEW JERSEY 
 
 CLIMATE 
 
 "All who have been visitors to this city have one verdict to 
 render regarding the climate — it is simply delightful. Situated as 
 the City is, on an island entirely surrounded by salt water, and not 
 in the vicinity of any large river emptying volumes of cold fresh 
 water into the sea to drive the salt water back, or lower the tem- 
 perature, the thermometric readings are remarkably regular. 
 
 "The climate has two grand characteristics: First, 'absence 
 of humidity,' and second 'equabihty of temperature.' These are 
 the sole explanations of Atlantic City's phenomenal growth and 
 reputation. The cHmate is remarkably free from wind, there being 
 less than half the amount experienced by some of the New Jersey 
 coast stations. There is a very curious fact, verified by the statis- 
 tics of twenty years and that is that the annual rainfall is almost 
 uniformly three inches per month. This is very low. The soil being 
 a dry white sand there is no evaporation to produce humidity of 
 the atmosphere after a rainstorm. There is little or no snow in 
 winter, and no humidity in the winter, and very little in the sum- 
 mer. There is a remarkable freedom from fogs, and those that do 
 drift in are almost invariably dry. It is notorious that the 
 ' beaches ' lying off the coast are much more free from fog than the 
 mainland. There is no rapid fall of temperature after sunset. The 
 winter climate is particularly clear and bright, free from wind and 
 devoid of fog or mist. There is absolutely no malaria. In winter 
 the climate is mild and balmy; in summer cool and exhilarating. 
 The equabihty of the cUmate is due to the proximity of the Gulf 
 Stream and the island being surrounded by water. Water ab- 
 sorbs heat, and parts with it by radiation more slowly than the 
 land ; hence in hot weather the water is comparatively cooler than 
 the air while in cold weather it is warmer. The climate is stimu- 
 lating, very much more stimulating than that of the adjacent 
 coast. This quahty of 'stimulation' is the 'key-note' to be borne 
 in mind in considering this climate as a remedy."

THE QUEEN 
 
 O F 
 
 ALL

 A prominent Atlantic City physician who is authority for the 
 information included in this Guide pertaining to various diseases 
 mentioned herein has this to say about Atlantic City : 
 
 "Perhaps no one thing 
 has done so much to promote 
 the phenomenal growth of At- 
 lantic City as a health resort 
 as the widespread reputation 
 its climate has gained in its 
 power to clear up the sequelae 
 of La Grippe, which has devas- 
 tated the large cities for the 
 past ten years. The catarrhal 
 conditions of the nose, ears, 
 larynx, bronchile and the gen- 
 eral delapidation so slow to re- . 
 cover from the home climate disappear here in this antiseptic air 
 like magic. Convalescents from pneumonia, pleurisy, plural 
 pneumonia, pneumo-thorax, and particularly those cases occuring 
 as secondary in subjects of other or chronic maladies, improve 
 here with remarkable celerity. If anything will restore such a 
 subject to health, it is certainly a sojourn at Atlantic City. A 
 few hours daily in a rolling chair out on the boardwalk, breathing 
 the balmy, soothing, salt laden emanations from the ocean, 
 together with the increased oxygenation, soon makes a radical 
 change in the whole condition of the patient. 
 
 "Atlantic City is one of the Nation's most popular resorts for 
 sufferers from rose cold, hay fever and asthma. Many asthmics 
 live here permanentl}'^, most asthmics do well here, particularly 
 during the winter, the longer standing and more complicated with 
 bronchial changes the better the result. 
 
 "Besides these chief classes that I have enumerated, all kinds 
 of people get benefited at Atlantic City-^The over- worked, 
 wearied, wornout men and women, professional men, society folk, 
 preachers, lawyers, doctors, deHcate and rapid growing children, 
 children who have been over-taxed by the inane system of com- 
 petition and strain of modern education, convalescents from all 
 sorts and kinds of acute diseases — typhoid fever, measles, diphthe- 
 ria, etc. — patients suffering with external tuberculous diseases, 
 white swelling. In the hip-joint disease of children the efficacy of 
 the sea chmate has long been extolled. Patients are constantly sent 
 here by surgeons all over the country to ' build them u]) ' prior to 
 some, demanded operation, and then sent back again after the 
 operation to make complete the victory; victims of stomach 
 diseases, intestinal diseases, choleo-Hthiasis, nephrohthiasis, catar- 
 rah of the bladder, and all the various female ills.

 fibroid phthisis, etc., are cured or greatly benefited.

ATLANTIC CITY, NEW JERSEY 
 
 BATHING 
 
 "Sea bathing is of great utility in lithiasis, uric acid diathesis, 
 rheumatic, malarial and asthmatic troubles particularly. In other 
 conditions, as convalescence from acute diseases, nervous pros- 
 tration and exhaustion, chronic bronchitis, dyspepsia, phthisis, etc., 
 the condition of the patient is always a prominent factor in the 
 problem, and it is well to caution such patients when sent to the 
 seashore to observe care. Many receive absolute injury from inju- 
 dicious bathing who would derive great benefit if this important 
 aid to recovery were made proper use of. The feeling of exhilara- 
 tion after being in the water a few moments is so pleasant that 
 one is prone to forget the real action that should follow and is 
 tempted — and by far too often falls — to yield to the seductive woo- 
 ing of his senses and remain so long that upon going out finally re- 
 action is incomplete, and he loses not only the most important part 
 of the bath, a healthful reaction, but receives positive injury, and 
 very probably goes home with the idea in his mind and the story on 
 his lips that sea bathing hurts him — ^When he hurts the seabathing. 
 Unquestionably the great majority of these cases can indulge in the 
 sea bath, in some degree with advantage. If it is within the power 
 of the system to react, it is always of benefit; in chronic bronchial 
 affections of greatest benefit, setting the entire system in a state of 
 activity, acting as a strong revulsive, encouraging the absorption 
 of abnormal deposits, and creating a general feeling of ease and 
 stimulation which is lasting in its effect. In the treatment of the 
 nervous affections, whether due to structural change or perversion 
 of function, and in neurasthenia the baths serve an important pur- 
 pose not only in the general improvement, but in the cutaneous 
 activity engendered, introducing new blood in activie circulation to 
 the terminal filaments of the peripheral nerves, and thus contribu- 
 ting directly to the nutrition of this important system, while the 
 succeeding reaction imparts a tone which results in permanent 
 improvement. But the ocean bath is not 
 the only one of benefit — the sand bath is a 
 ])owerful agent in many troubles, more par- 
 ticularly malarial poisoning and rheumatism. 
 In the latter they may be employed often- 
 times with advantage to individual limbs, 
 as an arm or leg, and continued for a long . >, 
 time, and it is truly wonderful what results 
 are sometimes obtained by their persistent 
 use. It is not at all uncommon in passing 
 along the beach to see here and there a 
 person patting the warm, wet sand up about 
 an arm or leg, giving it a bath.

THE QUEEN OF ALL RESORTS 
 
 A Word of Advice to Doctors Sending 
 Patients to Atlantic City 
 
 " If possible don't allow a sick person to go to Atlantic City for 
 a period of less than two weeks. It rarely does any good and 
 usually injures the person, because the getting packed and getting 
 away from home, the traveling, the arriving at a strange place and 
 strange hotel, the excitement under which the person labors and 
 which to an extent buoys them up — all of this will certainly have a 
 reaction, and three or four days are spent in getting settled; and 
 then the packing and journey home entails another strain upon the 
 vitality. If possible, give your patient a brief outline of his past 
 and present condition for some local physician in Atlantic City, and 
 encourage the patient to lead a quiet life, avoid the shows and 
 auction sales, at least at first, and follow the advice of the physician 
 to whom he is referred. Warn your patients against taking ocean 
 water baths without proper advice. The ocean water baths are 
 potent for good, but they may work much harm. Always warn 
 him of staying in the surf too long; also of taking too much exer- 
 cise, the stimulating effect of the climate is so great that many in- 
 valids overdo in this direction without realizing it, particularly is 
 this true of children, both well and invalid. The attractions of the 
 beach and a tin pail and shovel prove the undoing of many of these 
 Httlefolk." 
 
 As a place for convalescents Atlantic City has no equal. 
 
 The pure tonic air, brisk exercise along the ocean's edge, rides in the 
 rolling chairs; good hotels, many of which have their special diet- 
 kitchens where tempting dishes are prepared especially for in- 
 dividual cases, are some of the features that help to make recovery 
 most rapid and pleasant. Doctors of both schools are resident here, 
 many of them being specialists.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS 
 
 THE DAYS we celebrate can best be 
 celebrated at this Happy Resort, 
 where it is the rule to forget all de= 
 pression and live a joyful life. <]f To get 
 away from one's daily occupation in the 
 humdrum, dust=beladen city, even if it 
 is only for a short time to be spent at 
 this delightful Resort, is one of the 
 most joyful outings that could be 
 planned. I]f Every Holiday and during 
 the week end thousands take advantage 
 of the opportunity of getting away for 
 a trip to Atlantic City. Elaborate prepa= 
 rations are made at all the hotels as 
 well as by the city authorities for every 
 Holiday of the year. A Holiday spent 
 at this Festive Resort, where, in fact, 
 the entire year seems like one joyous 
 holiday, is one long to be remembered. 
 Many such a trip has resulted in a pro= 
 longed stay, and invariably results in a 
 return visit.

 NEW YORK 
 
 THE GREAT METROPOLIS 
 
 |HE city of new YORK is the magnet which draws 
 men and women on business or pleasure bent from all 
 parts of the world. It is the great financial centre and 
 hub of the commercial world, as well as the Mecca of sight- 
 seers and pleasure seekers. In area it is one of the largest 
 cities in the world, and in population it is exceeded only by one. 
 The system of parks is the largest and costhest in the world. The 
 gigantic office buildings of the business districts are incomparable, 
 going down three to four stories underground and up as high as forty 
 and more stories toward the heavens. They are the modern wonders of 
 the age. Broadway, extending from the Battery north to Yonkers, is 
 the longest street in the world. The largest ocean steamships afloat 
 make New York their port. The private residences of Fifth Avenue 
 and Riverside Drive are the most luxurious mansions in the world, 
 as these streets are the grandest of residential avenues. The hotels 
 and apartment houses, unequaled in size and appointment, are the 
 finest models of architectural skill and the latest types of improve- 
 ments in building to be found anywhere. 
 
 The boroughs and suburbs are Hnked together by the greatest of 
 sus[5ension bridges and tremendous subterranean tunnels, and j^ierced 
 throughout their length and breadth by the most extensive of subway 
 systems. 
 
 To realize the magnitude and wonders of this wonderful Metropolis 
 one nuist make it a ])ersonal visit.

 An Opportunity to Visit 
 
 ATLANTIC CITY, NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA 
 or WASHINGTON, D.C. 
 
 And secure free hotel accommodations is offered by the Atlantic City Tourist 
 Agency to any one getting up a party of ten or more traveUng together and 
 visiting any one of these cities at the same time and stopping at the same 
 hotel. 
 
 In order to make a special inducement for securing parties we have been 
 authorized by several of the best hotels we represent to make this liberal 
 proposition of offering free accommodations to one out of every ten in a i)arty 
 traveling together and stcjpping at the same hotel. 
 
 Any pleasure, recreation or sight-seeing trip can be taken with more 
 enjoyment and less expense when several in a party of friends are traveling 
 together than when one is traveling alone. 
 
 We will furnish complete detailed itinerary for any trip desired. By 
 following the comprehensive instructions with which we furnish all who wish 
 information as to the best way of getting up a party and conducting it on any 
 tour that may be desired any one can organize a party and conduct it with 
 as much safety and satisfaction as the most experienced of tourist agents. 
 All arrangements for hotel accommodations, transportation, sight-seeing 
 trips, etc., are made by us in advance and every necessary provision is made 
 for the comfort and pleasure of the party, so there is nothing left for the con- 
 ductor or chaperon to do, but simply follow the printed instructions of our 
 itinerary. 
 
 Special reductions in railroad fares may also be obtained where several 
 in a party are traveling together, the percentage of reduction from the regular 
 fare varying according to the scale laid down by the Trunk Line Association 
 and approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission. 
 
 By filling out blank on the next page and mailing to us full information 
 as to the lowest obtainable rates for transportation, hotel accommodations 
 and all the necessary incidentals of any proposed tour with detailed itinerary 
 will be promptly forwarded for your consideration and assistance in com- 
 pleting your plans. 
 
 ]]'hy not start in at once to get up a party among your friends and 
 acquaintances for a trip at some date that will be most suitable to all. 
 
 If desired we will send one of our traveling tourist agents to conduct 
 parties when exten.sive trips are to be made and the size and requirements 
 of the party arc such as to require the leadership of an experienced tourist 
 agent. 
 
 Newspapers having contests and offering excursion trips to the winners, 
 lodges and societies planning excursions for their members, clubs, college 
 fraternities, school parties and mercantile concerns sending their employees 
 off on pleasure trips, or in fact any one interested in getting up a party for 
 any kind of a trip or outing will find it greatly to their advantage to first 
 communicate with us and get the benefit of our experience in arranging 
 such parties. Write for full i)articulars.

 An "ALL STAR CAST" 
 
 No other cities can furnish more entertainment or attractions of greater 
 interest to the traveler than these four great centers of National and Inter- 
 national interest. 
 
 A COMBINATION TOUR, permitting a stop-over of 4 days in New 
 York, 4 days in Atlantic City, 2 days in Philadelphia, and 4 days in 
 Washington, D. C, is offered by The Ati^antig City Tourist Agency at a 
 special rate of $3S on the American Plan; $lT.oO on the European 
 Plan for hotel accommodations in the four cities during the entire tour. The 
 length of stay in any one city is optional and the price will be changed to 
 cover whatever time is desired to be spent in each city. 
 
 Only the best hotels are used. Every detail concerning the tour has been 
 carefully planned so as to make it one of the most entertaining, educational 
 and thoroughly enjoyable tours that anyone could take to cover the same 
 period of time and involving the same expenditure. 
 
 Our arrangements call for preferred accommodations at all hotels and 
 our plan enables the passenger to avail himself at the special rates at the 
 hotels we represent. The great economy of time, freedom from care, respon- 
 sibility and annoyance, certainty of securing satisfactory accommodations 
 even in the height of the season and definite cost, are recognized advantages 
 which have made this system of travel universally popular. It is the ideal 
 way of enjoying pleasure travel particularly when visiting strange resorts 
 and places for the first time. 
 
 Sightseeing trips in each one of the above cities may be added and in- 
 cluded in itinerary of tour at a small additional expense. 
 
 We will be pleased to advise anyone on request as to the lowest rates 
 for transportation, which will be included in the price of tour when desired. 
 To parties of ten or more travelling together, reduced rates of fare are granted. 
 To parties of one hundred or more, we can furnish a special private train for 
 the exclusive use of party, and arrange for stop-overs at any place enroute 
 desired

 |S replete with incidents, scenes and landmarks associated

 and one features of historical, national, municipal or 
 popular importance every good American visitor will first 
 want to pay patriotic homage at the shrine of Liberty in 
 Independence Hall. The Betsy Ross house, the birth- 
 place of the American flag; Congress Hall and Carpenter's Hall hold 
 illustrious places in national history and will next attract the attention 
 of the visitor who is interested in such landmarks of true Americanism. 
 The City Hall which with the furnishings has cost the city over 
 twenty-five millions of dollars, is one of the first striking objects to 
 visitors arriving by railroad. Other public buildings of especial interest 
 to visitors are the New Mint, the Academy of Fine Arts, Post-Office, 
 Girard College, University of Pennsylvania, and the old Supreme Court 
 House, built in 1791. 
 
 Fairmount, the largest public park in the world, is the grand plea- 
 sure ground covering over 3,000 acres, of which all Philadelphians are 
 justly proud.
