past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and

have devoted 10 active practice in two oi
the most frequent resorts Of Colorado
and one wear in this city.

Eve months rexid ~. southern Ariz.
oua in winter the kas bnt one day
when the weather made IL actually un-
pleasant for me to take exercise ia the
open air at some time or other during
the day. Ofcourse there were good
many days which q veal her observer
would describe az 'cIondy,' an ! some
that were 'showery;' but during the Ave
months from November, 1895 to Nav,
1885, there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Bwen more
than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
AriAona 10 the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter arr
apt to be cool enough for wood tres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat 10 not needed during the day. but ii

The atmosphere is singulariy clear,

clearer anywhere in The world. IL so<ms

hilarating qualities as the air Of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or Oh
the desert about Mount Sinai. IN Arabia
Patraea. II is much drier than any part
Of the valley of the Nile north OF Gatar
act. Ii seems TO me about the same in
/ quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa. but some
what cooler.
"As TO food, there is plenty. and it is
good. From here thr markets OF Los
| Angles. and even df IL nsei are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poui-

and venison from the vicinity can also
be bad Vegetables and fruits are abund
ant in their season. and sometimes the
season 10 long one. 1t 10 the one coun-

characterized by pure. dry. ,nvigorating
air: small amount of rainfall, and an
evcr-shiuing 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

an out-ofdoor life the entire year. and
permit those suffering from lung and

OF numberlcss 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

proper medical treatment, has afforded
reliet to numbers OF sufferers who are he
yond hope OF cure, and cured many IN
the earlier stages OF consumption.
