/ Or. Harrison E Stroud says of ths
/ Climate of Arizona THE summers arr
/ hot. There are some warm days. in May
| gradually increasing into June, and from
| then on until the end OF August the Their
mometer ranges high, but with Septenl.
Der comes cooler DAYS and nights.
The heat is peculiar; it is never close
and oppressive; there is never a sense OF
sntiocation. The summers are the most
healthiuI period OF the year. The dry
| heat oxidizes and desiecates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most countries during
tho summer. To my knowledge there
has never been a case of cholera irrfau-
tuIn in the territory. nor has there been
case OF sunstroke, except drunkards
inebriated 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 year. 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
luries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases arc usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.
1.-THE winter months, from the middle
of 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 celebrating the
| whole country green with the richest
verduew nd the brightest flowers. Truly
it is a Joy to live.
AT present have never known 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 l
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
characterizedsby pure, dry, invigorating
air; 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 mild winter CHI
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 numberless cures for consumption, ex-
plotted monthly, stands+first in the con-
fidence 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 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 pul-
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
