The Most Healthful Regions Named by Wallace
Dr Alfred Russell Wallace argues in the London Chronicle that tropical regions generally offer better health than temperate zones. He credits 12 years in the tropics for his own recovery from looming lung disease at age 75 and notes Europeans in India and Sudanese soldiers, Australian miners, and Hollanders thriving in colonies. He claims the belt near the equator for a thousand miles is the healthiest and most enjoyable, provided labor is present to balance life’s comforts and development.
