DIR. Harrison E Stroud SAYS of the
climate of Arizona.-"The summers are
| hot. There are some warm days in May,
! gradually increasing into June; and from
then on until the end of August the ther-
mometer ranges high, but with Septem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The heat Is peculiar; it is never close
md oppressive; there is never sense OF
snitocation. The summers are the most
heaithful period of the year. The dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most countries during
the summer. To my knowledge there
mas never been a case of cholera infan-
tuIn III the territory, nor has there been
case OF sunstroke, except drunkards
inebrlated at the time. 1t is the common
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, and
many las the writer sleep out during
the whole yePr. There are not FIVE days
III the whole year but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out OF doors. In this climate in
Iurles and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mid. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept IN whooping cough, for years.
he winter months, from the middle
ot September to the first of May, are in
this locality the finest i'll the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
Rerdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
1t is JOY to live.
AT present have never known a per
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages of pulmonary disease andlocating
IN the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have
known of one in the second stage that
did not improve. But cannot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage OF sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
ers.''
DIR. A. W. Olcott. health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry. invigorating
AR; a small amount Of rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t 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 il a mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
OF nuniberless cures for consumption, ex-
plotted monthly, stands FIRST IN the con-
tidence of the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known Of combating the dread disease.
tuberculosis. The out-oftioor tissc, with |
proper medical treatment. has afforded |
relief TO numbers of sufferers who are be- |
yond hope OF cure. and cured many in |
the eariscr stages of consumption.
DIR. A. c. Jones. of Tucson, said:--"The |
past seven years have afforded me large |
opportunities in the observation and |
study of the climatic treatment of pull |
monary tuberculosis. Within that time |
have visited the resorts of Florida, |
Texas, New Mexico. Colorado. Califor- !
