i7 of surroundings, too small to secure the advantages from sewerage and an uncontaminated water-supply. Its large hotels are badly located in the centre of the business portion of the town, and its beauty of situation is its chief recommendation. Twenty-three hundred feet above the sea, it is splendidly situated on rising ground, with a distant amphitheatre of mountains. As a winter resort it possesses the advantages derived from its southern location, giving a mild climate, not unlike the South of France. From observations now made for a number of years, the mean average of temperature at Ashville is: Spring, 52.30, summer, 71.f, autumn, 55.30, winter, 37.2°; year, 55.3°. Average rain-fall, 40.02 inches; during a period of eight years the thermometer but twice rose above 88°, and only three times fell below 30. Ashville has offered, hitherto, the essential advantage of being of greater altitude than any other Southern health-resort of easy reach by rail, with a dry, pure, and invigorating air; in winter a remarkable freedom from rain and cloud, with warm sunshine; in summer never oppressive heat, and cool nights. Rain makes of the clayey loam a tenaceous mud, which often seriously interferes with out-of-doors exercise. Dr. H. P. Gatchel, of Ashville, who has for years made a careful study of the climate, writes: "The climate of Ashville is no Eden climate. It partakes more or less of the variableness that pertains to the most of our territory. It has some severe winter days and some blustering March weather; but it is on the whole the best climate we have. If it lacks the uniform mildness of a portion of California, it does not, on the other hand, beget that excessive sensitiveness which is engendered in California. It develops a more robust constitution. It seems to afford a favorable medium between the enervating influence of the warm or uniformly mild regions and the overpowering cold of high Northern latitudes.
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

Henry Orlando Marcy (1837-1924) was a medical doctor practicing in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1885, Dr. Marcy published this paper, “The Climatic Treatment of Disease” with the subhead, “Western North Carolina as a Health Resort.” His article was often cited by the Appalachian National Park Association as a reason for having a national park in the southern Appalachians. The article was reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1885.
