tie city of about 5000 inhabitants, is partly traceable to the benefits offered by this extraordinary salubrious eli mate. There is no rain in this region only during the very short rainy seas ons occurring biannually, refreshing the endless variety of wildhowers that cover the picturesque hills creating beautiful scenery. It is never damp, even during this rainy season, for 8 | longer period than few hours, owing to the fact that the town is located at the highest point in the valley that gently slopes north and south forming a natural and perfect drainage, and the character of the soil is such as to permit the rapid absorption of moist ure. The days are warm and Sracing and the nights cool and refreshing, making it delightful climate for per sons affected with chronic pulmonary diseases, more especially asthma and consumption, also acute rheumatism, which is an extremely rare affection in the locality. This is probably due to the dryness of the atmosphere be- ing antagonistic to the development of the germs causing this disease, and quite a number Of persons who had inherited or acquired this diathoses, have taken advantage of this, and in
 very short period after their arrival
 were completely releived and have
 never been troubled since, the majori- ty of whom suffered more or less all
 their lives.
 Of oAo
 consumption this is undoubtedly one
 of the best climates in the Udited
 States. The air is free from the bacil-
 Ii that produces this disease. This IS
 proven by the fact that never a case
 originated in this immediate neighbor-
 hood during the history of Nogales,
 and that the influences of this climate
 are destructive to them is also proven
 by the fact that not single one of the
 several cases of this malady in its in
 cipient stage, that came here, that
 failed to experience rapid improvement.
 But of course those dependent upon
 the associations and comforts of home,
 if the disease were in an advanced stage, would derive no benefits, and it
 would be cruel to suggest this climate
 as beneficial to such persons living at , distance, as they would probably not live to return.
 The influence of this climate over asthma is very marked but by reason of the occurrence of this affection in , volving peculiar susceptibility of the bronchial muscular flores tc ! take on spasmodic action when excit ed by certain substances, and as par oxysms of this disease are induced by a variety of these exciting causes, indi r vidual cases differing in peculiar sss : ceptibility to certain of those causes : it would be impossible to find locali 9 " suitable to all cases. Nogales, how Il ever, furnishes an atmosphere in whicl '- there seems to be an absence of mos T of the .exciting substances and tn majority of those suffering with thi affection that have sought the benefit r of this health resort have obtained in U mediate relief.
 Other diseases are remarkably infre quent, and owing to the vigilance o r. our sanitary officers, there is no stag Il nant water nor decaying animal an n vegetable matter to furnish incubator Il and pabulum for germs of disease t Nearly all diseases are caused fror
 micro-organisms, and as food an L. moisture are necessary for their deye s. opment and reproduction, 1t dHH rem o. ly be seen that Nogales has <A{ ls bined requisites for a healthy z<1< 7...&.
