DR.. Harrison E Stroud saws OF he
Climate of Arizoua.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warn 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.
1.-THE heat is peculiar, it is never close
and oppressive; there is never sense oi
snffocation. The summers are the most
healthful period of the year. The dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refase mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most countriesduring
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been n case of cholera mfan-
tum in the territory, nor has there been
case of sunstroke, except drunkards
inebriated at the time. 1t is the common
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle of May until September, and
many (as the writer) sleep out during
the whole year. There are not FIVE days
III the whole year but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out of doors. In this climate in
juries 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 sunshiuy day succeeds another,
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is Joy to 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 out
rage of sen,ling advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
ers,'
Dr.A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son. says:-"The climate of Tucson Is
charactcrized.by pure, dry, invigorating
air: a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
WliluS vi Whitley SthA ehS dtSauS1 onb0
storms ofnost arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il a mild winter CHI
mate These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-aoor 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-
tidence OF the people and of the medical
| profession as the best single means
known of combating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-ofdoor life, with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers OF sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure, and cured many N
| the earlier stages of consumption.
Dir. Al. G. Jones. of Tucson, said.- Al be
| past seven years have afforded rnc large
opportunities in the observation and
study OF the climatic treatment of pull
