DIR. A. W. Oicott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, aud an
ever-shiniug 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 mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor 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 numberiess cures for consumption, ex-
plotted monthly, stands FIRST IN the con
tidcnce 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-
yond hope of cure, and cured many IN
the earlier stages ofconsumption.

opportunities In the observation and
