The climate of Cuba is often selected for the phthisical invalid during the winter months, and so far as regards elevation and comparative equability of temperature, it is more favourable for those of weak lungs than that of the United States. The mean annual temperature is high (78), but the difference between the mean temperature of the warmest and coldest months is twice as great as at Madeira.
