Excerpt from Vermont: Designed by the Creator for the Playground of the Continent
Few sections of the country are so well watered as Vermont. Lying between Lake Champlain and the Connecticut River, it is traversed by hun dreds of streams, large and small, and dotted with innumerable lakes and ponds. Yet its altitude is such, its drainage to the valleys so perfect, that the air is dry rather than surcharged with moisture. Altitude, atmosphere, climatic conditions, the absence of congested centers of population, combine to make Vermont one of the most healthful sections of the country. N 0 portion of the United States of equal area has so few cases of tuberculosis as Grand Isle county, that island section of Lake Champlain, swept by the mild breezes that continually blow across the lake. The early history of Montpelier, the capital, shows an average death rate, including accidents and infant mortality, of one in four hundred per year.
Vermont puts forth no claim as a universal sanitarium, but it is so elevated, watered and aerated that its healthful conditions must command attention.
