a man may not only find health but a
means of livelihood and live in com
fort.
DIR. Harrison E Stroud says of the
Climate of fArizona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm daysiu May,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end of August the ther-
mometer 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
( sntfocation. The summers are the most
| healthful 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 commissioning
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been a case of cholera infan-
tun IN the territory. nor has there been
case of sunstroke, except drunkards
1nebrIated at the time. 1t is Uncommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, aud
many Gas the writer) sleep out during
| the whole yer. There are not FIVE days
III the &holc 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 in the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
yerdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is a JOY to live.
''At present have never known a per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages o. 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."
DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-sh'ning sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds OF winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il a 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-
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
fidence OF the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known of formulating the dread disease.
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life, with
proper medical treatment. has afforded
reiief TO numbers of sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
