gave me ample and sufficient opport-
unity OF Judging climatic conditions
there existing during the summer months
The mountainous portions Of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
tuberculosis subjects, but cannot re-
commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe.
becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric con-
ditions to be avoided, il would not be
advisable TO spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type Of consti.
tuition with hereditary tendency TO
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is tact that those born here OF
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop. SO long as they re-
main in this climate. IT is my opinion
that there is no other section of the
United States which will compare favor

ter. among other things says-"During

ona III winter there was bnt one day
when the weather made it actually un-
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. oicourse there were q good

months from November 1895 to Nav.
1880 there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at

than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood fires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
IS never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. II seems
TO have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. II seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa. but some.

be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund.
