: DR.. Harrison E Stroud saws of the
climate OF Arizona. THE summers are
not. There are some warm days in Nav,
gradually increasing into June, and from
then on until the end of August the Their
mometer ranges high, but with Septem-
Der comes cooler days and nights.
he heat is peculiar; it is never close
anu oppressive; there is never sense OF
Siii'oSalion. he summers are the most
, "eaitHlut period OF the year. The dry
i'eat oAidlzes and desiccatcs refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that &c
the great cause of disease. esncc;aIx
among cnlltfeii, i'll most Countries DURING
the summer. To my knowledge there
has meyer been case of cholera infan-
tuin IN the territory, nor has there been
a 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 las 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, ont of doors. In this climate in
juries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mid. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept III whoopIng cough, for years.
he winter months, from the middle
/ ct September to the first of MAJ, are in
TINS locality the finest III the world One
| bright SunShlny day succeeds another;
| the nights are cool and celebrating; the
wnoie country green with the richest
yerdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
1t is a Joy to live.
| AT present have never known a per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease and locating
IN the altitude suited TO their particular
case that did not get we'll; nor have
known Of one in the second stage that
did not improve. But ca nnot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage ri sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
ers."
| DR.. A. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue
| SOU, says:-"Tbe climate OF Tucson is
eharacterzedsby pure, dry, invigorating
AR; small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-sii'ning sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter. and the dreaded sand
storms Of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives it {. 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 life
/ IN the open air. This treatment, in spite
OF numberess cures for consumption, ex-
! plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
hdence 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
I relief TO Numbers of sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure, and cured many ir
the earlier stages OF consumption.
Or. a. c. Jones. of Tucson, said:-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
/ opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
| | have visited the resorts of Florida.
1 Texas. New Mexico, Colorado, caiifor-

have devoted to active practice IN twopf

/ Hon. Whitelaw Reid, in his journal, the
New York Tribune. on ARIZONA in Win
ter, among other things says" During
/ ahNG tlJOHtHs TSSflSilCE III spulHSi II hfaz-
ona in winter there was but one day
| when the weather made it actually I'M
/ pleasan for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time OF other during
the day. OF course there were a good
many days which weather observer
would describe as cloudy and some
| that were showery; but during the FIVE
months from November, 1895 to May,
! lSe6) there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the day. Even more
/ than Egypt. anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood rires,
/ and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
! without one at hand.
| The atmosphere is singuiarIy clear,
tonic and dry. have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
| great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
OF the valley OF the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
! quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler
