Text Appearing Before Image:
son and Taylor, who died after short illnesses fromacute diseases, in no way dependent on climatic influences,the chief magistrates, although generally men of advancedage, have enjoyed excellent health and been able to attendto their official duties with scarcely a days interruption—a most remarkable exemption and proof enough of itself ofthe favorable condition both of the White House and thecity. We may add, too, in confirmation of this view, thatall the former Presidents spent the whole year here, excepta very short visit to their respective homes, the practice ofliving for a part of the summer in the suburbs having beenfirst adopted by Mr. Buchanan; and when the presentanomalous condition of the Potomac flats opposite the cityshall have been remedied, which in their present state areat least a menace for the future, we know of nothing likelyto prevent Washington from being hereafter, as heretofore,one of the most healthful as it is one of the most beautifulcities in our country.
