DR.. Harrison E Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona he summers are
hot There are some warm daysi in NJ ay,
gradually increasing into June. and from
! then on until the eud OF August the Their
nomcter ranges high, but with Septem-
her comes eooser DAYS and nights.
The heat is peculiar; 1t j. never close
md oppressive; theie Is never sense oil
snffocatton. The summers are the most
nei,stiIius Period c: The ..se s:e:;-. The dry
heat oxiaizes and drsiccates refuse mat
ter aud prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most countries during
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never heen a case of cholera infan-
tum in the territory. nor has there been
a case Of sunstroke. except drunkards
lnebriated at the time. 1t is the common
custom to sleep out OF doors from the
middle of May NATL September, ana
many tas the writer sleep out during
the whole YER. The 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, cx-
cept i'll whooping cough, for year,.
The winter months, from the middle
of September to the first of May. are IN
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright suushiny day succeeds another.
the nights are cool and exhiiarating; the
whole country green with the richest
vcrtiue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is a Joy to live.
AT present have never known a per-
son coming to this Territory in the carly
stages OF pulmonary disease andiocating
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well. nor have l
known of one in the second stage that
did not improve But caanot refrain
| from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
ers."
DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of TUG
son. says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, inyigornting
| air; small amount of rainfall. and an
cycr-shiniug sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off tho chilling
winds OF winter. and the dreaded sand
storm of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives IL e mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and liis
in the open air. This treatment, In spits
of numberiess cures for consumption, cx-
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-door life, with
proper medical treatment. has afforded
| relief to numbers OF sufferers who are he:
yond hope OF cure. and cured many IL
the earlier stages ofconsuntptioti.
