DIR. HARRISON Stroud Saws of tn
Climate of Arizona The SUMMERS are
hot. There arc some warm DAYS III n av.
gradually increasing into June, ann isosa
then on until the end OF August the this =
mometcr ranges high. but with Scpten,-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The heat is peculiar; il IL never close
and oppressive; there is never a sense OF
snffocation. The summers are the most
healthfui period of the year. The dry
heat oxidixes 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 infaH-
tum in the territory, nor has there been
a case of sunstroke, except drnnkartis
incbriated 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 whol 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.
The winter months, from the middle
of September to the FIRST of May, are in
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright suushiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and celebrating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is a JOY to live.
AT present have never known per-
son coming to this Territory in the carly
stages of pulmonary disease andlocatiug
in he 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. Oicott, health officer of Tue,
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterizedsby pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-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 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 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 combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-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 ofSpul-
monary tuberculosis. Within that tame
have visited the resorts of Florida.
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Califnr-
MIA and Arizona Five years Of that I
have devoted to active practice IN twoof
