a man may not only find health but a
means of livelihood and live in COM
tort.
pr. Harrison E Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona.-"E summers arc
| hot. There are some warm days IN Mi ay,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then ON until the end OF August the tber-
mou,eter ranges high, but with Septrm-
ber comes cooler DAYS and nights.
The heat is peculiar: it is never close
and oppressive; there is never a sense OF
snftocation. The Summers are the most
healthful period of the year. The dry
heat oxiiizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, iii most countries during
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never hecn a case of cholera iufan-
tuin in the territory. nor has there been
case OF sunstroke, except drunkards
inebriatcd at the time. 1t is Uncommon
custom TO sleep ont of doors from the
middle OF May until September, and
many las the writer) sleep out during
the whole wear. 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-
eept 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 cxhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
ii is JOY to live.
AT present have never known per-
son coming to this Territory III the early
stages of pulmonary disease andiocating
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have
known OF one Ill the second stage that
did not improve. But cannot refrain
from raising my vote against the out
rage sf sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-

DR.. A, w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, savs:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized.by pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, and an
cver-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 a mild winter CHI
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 uumberlcss cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first IN the con-
fideuce 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-
vond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
DR.. 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 pull
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
| have visited the resorts of Florida.
