Immediately seek the proper climate tav
orablc 10 their condition.
The climate of Colorado has been re
commended for it's beneficial effects to
consumption; my long residence there
gave me ample and sufficient opp0rt
unity Of ndglnE climatic conditions
there existing durug the summer months
The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have a beneficial effect OF
tuberculosis subjects, but cannot re
commend dorado during the fail auC
winter, as the changes are often severe
becoming raw and cold within few
hours. and as these are atmospheric con
dItions To he avoided, il would not bt
+ advisable to spend these seasons there
Those having peculiar type OF consti
tuition with Il hereditary tendency tc
consumption would do well to avail
themselves Of IN opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
at is fact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop. So long as they re
man IA this climate. Il !s my opinion
! that there "A no other section OF the
( uitcd States which will compare favor

opportunities in the observation and

monary tuberculosis. Within that time

came iii quest OF the best possible cir
matte advantages for an aggravated
case OF bronchitis and for pulmonary
tubcrCu!otiS IN the second stage. For
six months ! had been unable to dis

Qua IN winter the Aas bnt one day
when the weather made Il actually un-
pleasant for nc to take exercise III the
open air at some time or other during
the dav oi course there were good
many DAYS which a wcat her observer
would describe as cloudy anl some
that were 'showcry hut during HE five
months from November, 1895 to May,
1S9G1 there were onis four DAYS when
we did not have brilliant sunshine al
some iiur duIiug tho dag. Even more
than Egypt. anywhere north OF Luxor,
Arizona is the land oi the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough ior wood rircs
and blankets. Hall the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but IT
is never prudent for stranger to ht
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is Siugulnrly clear,
tonic and dry. / have never seen il
clearer anywhere IN The world. II seems
to have about the same bracing and cx
hilarating qualities as the mir OF the
great Sahara III northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, III Arabia
Patraea 1t is much drieT than any part
of the valley of the Nile north OF Gatar-
act. Il seems to me about the same ~
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady lialta, but some
what cooler.
las to food, there is plenty, and il is
good From here the markets OF Los
Angeles. and even OF DtntcI are largely
supplied. Good beet, mutton and poui-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and vcnsou from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund
ant IN their season, aud sometimes thu
season ,S a long one. 1t Is the one Coun,
try have lived IN where straw berries
riptn in the open air ten months IN tht
year. have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
The man who goes 10 any consider
able Arizona town with the idea OF the
southwest derived from moves, OF from
The Arizona Kicker, will he greatly mys-
tilted. He will find rs many churches
as III towns otcorrespondIng SIZE IN Pcnn-
sylvania or Ohio. and probably more
school houses, and vet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too. and gambling
houses, and vet he will STE little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for 1t, and
he will find a community of ten thou
sand pcOp'e requiring III the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation lot him.
DIR. A. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son. says-"Thc climate of Tucson is
characterized bv pure, dry. ,nvigorating
air; n small amount of rainfall, and an
shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut on the chilling
winds Of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms ol most arid regions. It's south
crn position gives ii q 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, i'll spite
of inlniberlcss cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first III the con
hdence ot the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known OF combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-of-door hie with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief tn numbers OF sufferers who arc he
vond hope of cure. and cured many IN
the earlier stages of consumption.
