: DIR. Harrison +. Stroud says of ths
Climate of fArizona.-"The summers are
not. There are some warm days in Nav
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the ther-
moneter 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 OF
sntiocation. The summers are the most
healthful period of the year. The dry
heat oXidlzes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, i'll most commissioning
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been n case of cholera infan-
tuin in the territory, nor has there been
a case of sunstroke, except drunkards
lnebriated at the time. 1t is thecommon
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 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 i'll the world. One
! bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating: the
! whole country green with the richest
verdue aud the brightest flowers. Truly
| 1t is a 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."
Or. A. W. Oicott, health officer Of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterizedsby pure, dry, invigorating
air; 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 ii 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 numberless cures for consumption, ex-

fidcncc 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. 4. c. Jones. of Tucson, said:--"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pui-
nonary tuberculosis. Within that time
| have visited the resorts OF Florida,
Texas, New Mexico. Colorado, Califor-
mia and Arizona Five years of that
have devoted to active practice in twoof
the most frequent resorts OF Colorado

Hon. Whiteiaw Reid, in his Journal, the
! New York Tribune. on Arizona in VIM
ter, among other things Says During
| a five months residence in southern Arix-
ona in winter there was but one day
| when the weather made it actually un-
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some TING or other during
The day. Ofcourse there were a good
many DAYS which a weather observe
| would describe as cloudy ana some
| that were 'showery;' but during the Ave
months from November, 1895 TO May,
1885, there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the day. Even more
than Epyxr4 anywhere north Of Luxor
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
.'The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres.
and blankets. Half the time an overs
coat is not needed during the day, but II
is never prudent for stranger TO be
without one at hand.
