The snow seldom remains many days at a time, even on the high mountains, and its stay in the valleys can generally be measured by hours. The climate of Western North Carolina would be still more desirable if the rain of winter were less than it is. But though this is considerable as compared with the dry interior beyond the ninety-fifth meridian, yet compared with Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, and Knoxville, it is moderate. Indeed, the universal testimony of all competent observers establishes the existence of a dry, invigorating atmosphere; the neighboring mountains serving to intercept much of the moisture, and to cause its deposition on the summits and outer slopes. The average rainfall in inches of the different seasons for a period of eleven years is shown to be as follows: Spring 10.1 inches. Summer 13.5 " Autumn 7.1 " Winter 9.5 " Total 40.2 inches." Below, on the French Broad River, are the Warm Springs, noted even by the Indians for their curative powers. Westward, at an elevation of twenty-seven hundred feet, is Waynesville, an enterprising town, but here the valley is rather narrow, especially up the Richland Creek, where are located the White Sulphur Springs, justly popular as a summer resort, since the scenery is surpassingly lovely. Beyond here the broken ranges extend westward for a hundred miles in picturesque beauty of forest and mountain, but without a single hotel where an invalid can be even comfortable. If tuberculosis is dependent upon the development of a bacillus, then the orthodox belief in the heredity of consumption is subject to revision and modification. In evidence upon this question, I quote from a recent letter written by Dr. Oliver Hicks, of Rutherfordton, N. C.:
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.
