DIR. Harrison E, Stroud SAYS of TIL,
Climate of fArizona.-"The summers ar.
not. There are some warm days in May
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end of August the tler
mometer ranges high, but with Septem.
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The heat is peculiar; it is never close
lnd oppressive; there is never sense oi
snffocation. The summers are the most
heaithfui 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
mas never been 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 davs
IN the whole 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
mid. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept IN whooping cough, for years.
he winter months, from the .lniddie
OF September to the first of Nav, are in
tins 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
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
1T IS joy to live.
At present have never known a per-
son coming 20 this Territory in the early
stages of pulmonary disease andlocatiug
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. Oicott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-'The climate of Tucson is
by pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, and anil
eyer-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 a 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 aud life
IN the open air. This treatment, in spite
OF numbeTless 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-deor 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

study of the climatic treatment of pui-
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
