DIR. Harrison 3. Stroud says of the
Climate Of Arixona.--"Thes 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
| and oppressive; there IS never sense oi
snffocation. The summers are the most
heaithfni period of the year. The dry
heat oxidixes and dcsiccates 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
has never been a case of cholera infan-
tun in the territory, nor has there been
| a case of sunstroke, except drunkards
irebriated at the time. 1t is thecommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, and
many tas the writer sleep out during
| the whole year. There are not five days
IN the whole year but the most delicate
Invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out of doors. In this climate In
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.
"The winter months, from the middle
of September to the first of May, are in
this locality the finest IN the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is 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
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."
DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson Is
characterized.sby pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount OF rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut OF the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms Of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives it mild winter cli-
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, cx-
plotted monthly, stands first in the con.
hdence OF the people and Of the medical
profession as the best single means
known Of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-ofdoor life, with
proper medical treatment. has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure. and cured many ir
the earlier stages Of ofconsumption.
Dr.A. C. Jones. Of Tucson, said: The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation aDd
/ study of the climatic treatment Of pul-
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
