DIR. Harrison E Stroud says of the
Climate ot Arizona The summers are
hot There are some warm days in May,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the ther-
mometer ranges high, but with Septem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The heat is peculiar; it is never close
and oppressive; there is never a sense OF
snfiocation. The summers are the most
healthfui period of the year. The dry
beat 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 Wedge 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 ont of doors from the
middle of May until September, aud
many tas the writer sleep out during
the whole year. 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
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
eept 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 exhilaratiDg: the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
1t is a JOY 10 live.
"At present have never known 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 ont
rage Of sending advanced cases to this
or other SECTIONS to die among strang
ers.''
