DIR. A. {. Jones. of Tucson, said:--"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and
study OF the climatic treatment Of pul.
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
have visited the resorts Of FLORIDA.
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. Califor-
MIA aud Arizona Five wears of that
have devoted Ia active practice in twooi
the most frequent resorts of Colorado

DR.. A. ". OIcott, health officer Of Tue
son. saws he climate OF Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, iuvigorating
air: a small amount OF rainfall. and an
cyer-shinlug sun. 1t is surrounded hy
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds ol winter, and the dreaded sand
storms OF most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il mild winter Cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out ut-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and lite
in the open air. This treatment, IN spite
of numbcrless cures for consumption. ex
plotted monthly, stands FIRST IN the CON
tidcnce 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 be-
yond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
DR.. Harrison Z. Stroud says OF the
Climate of Arizona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm daysiu May,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end OF August the ther-
mometer ranges high, but with Scptem
ber comes cooler DAYS and nights.
The heat is peculiar; IT is never close
and oppressive; there is never sense OF
snffocafion The summers are the most
