DIR. Harrison E Stroud says of the
climate OF Arizona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm days in Nav.
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the ther-
mometer ranges high, but with Septrul-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
he heat is peculiar; it Is never close
ma oppressive; there is never a sense OF
snfiocaton. The summers are the most
healthful period of the year. The dry
neat oxldizes 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 knowledge there
/ mas never been q case of cholera intau-
| tuin IN the territory. nor has there been
case of sunstroke. except drunkards
inebriated at the time. 1t is thecommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, and
many (as the writer sleep out during
I the whole yer. 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
Iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept IN whooping cough, for years.
he winter months, from the middle
OF September to the firss of Nav, are IN
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
tue nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and 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 and dIocating |
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 Bat caanot refrain |
from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strane-
ers."
Dr. A. w. Olcott. health officer of Tue /
son, says:-T The climate of Tucson is
By pure, dry, invigorating
arr small amount of rainfall. and an
ever-sh'ning 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 mild winter eli
mate These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and hfe
IN the Open air. This treatment, in spite
OF nurnberless cures for consumption. ex-
plotted monthly, stands first in the eon-
hdeuce OF the peopie and Of the medical
profession as the best single means
known OF combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The oat-of-toor life, with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
reiiet to numbers of sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure. and cured many in
the earlier stages Of consumption.
DIR. A. c. Jones, of Tucson, said:-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
