Urablc to their condition.
"rhc climate of Colorado has been re-
commended for it's beneficial effects for
consumption; my long residence there
gave me ample and sufficient opport-
unity of Judging climatic conditions
there existing during the summer months
The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
tuberculosis subjects, but cannot re.
commend Colorado during the fall aud
winter, ms the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are mospheric con
dtions to be avoided, it would not DC
advisable To spend these seasons there.
Those having n peculiar type of consti.
tuition with II hereditary tendency 10
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is fact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop. 81 long AS they re

"As to food, there is plenty. and II is

supplied, Good beef. mutton and poul-

DR.. A. W. OIcott. health officer of Tue
son, says:--"Thc climate OF Tucson rs
characterized by purr, dry. inyigorating
air; "A small amount Of rainfall, and an
cver-shining suu. II is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives ii mild winter CHI
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out -ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise aud life
in the open air. This treatment III spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the CON
iidcncc of the people and Of the medical
profession as the best single means
known OF combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life. with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers OF sufferers who are be
vond hope of cure, and cured MANY III
the earlier stages of consumption.
