Dr. Harrison E Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona he 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 Septcrn.
ber comes cooler DAYS and nights.
"Tfn heat is peculiar; it is never close
md oppressive; there is never a sense oi
sTifocation. The summers are the most
htalthfui period of the year. The dry
heat oxidfzes and dessccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that ID
the great cause of disease. especially
among children. in most countries during
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never aeen "A case of cholera infan.
turn in the territory. nor has there been
case OF sunstroke, except drunkartls
inebriatcd at the time. II is Uncommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle OF May until September, and
many las the writer sleep out during
the whole sear. There are not FIVE DAYS
IN the whoh year bat the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
iurics and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no ey,denlic, cx-
cept iii whooping cough, for years.
The winter months, from the middle
Of September to the arst of May, are in
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright suushiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhiiarating; the
whole country green with the richest
vcrdue and 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 and locating
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."
