DIR. Harrison E Stroud says of the
| Climate of Arizona. 1.-The Summers are
hot. There are some warm days in May,
gradually increasing into June; and from
then on until the end of August the Their
InonIeter ranges high, but with Septem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
"The heat is peculiar; it is never close
and oppressive; there is never a sense of
snffocation. The summers are the most
healthfui period of the year. The dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children in most countries during
the summer. To my kno wIedge there
has never been a case of cholera infan-
tun in the territory, nor has there been
case of sunstroke, except drunkards
inebriated at the time. 1t 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 yer. There are not FIVE DAYS |
IN the whole year but the most delicate |
invalid can spend part of the day, at |
least, ont of doors. In this climate in |
luries and wounds heal very rapidly; |
contagious diseases are usually very |
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
ccpt 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 sunshiDy day succeeds another.
the nights are cool and celebrating: the |
whole country green with the richest
verdne and the brightest flowers. Truly |
ii is a joy to live.
'At present | have never known a per
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages of pulmonary disease andiocating
IN the altitude suited to their particular
ease 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 stEang-
ers."

an out-os-doof life the entire year, and
