a man may not only find health but a
means OF Livelihood and live in com
fort.
DR.. Harrison f. Stroud says of the
/ Climate of Arizona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm days iu May,
! gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the Their
mometcr ranges high, but with Scptem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
THE heat is peculiar; it is never close
| md oppressive: there is never a sense OF
snffocation. The summers are the most
heaIthful 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 knowledge there
has never been a case of cholera infan-
tum 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, out of doors. In this climate in
juries 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 sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and celebrating: the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is JOY to live.
AT present have never known a per-
son coming TO this Territory in the early
stages of 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."
DIR. A. w. Oleott, health off Ger of Tue
son, says:--"T The climate OF Tucson il
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
eyer-shining 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 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 life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberiess cures for consumption, ex-
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
fdence of the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known Of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The ont-of-door life. with
proper medical treatment. has afforded
relief 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
opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull
Inonary tuberculosis. Within that time
have visited the resorts of Florida.
