becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric con
ditions to be avoided, 1t would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti.
tuition with hereditary tendency TO
consumption would do well to avail
themselves Of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
Ut Is a fact that those born here OF
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, SO long as they re-
main IN this climate. II is my opinion
that there is no other section of the
United States which will compare favor
able with that III and about Tucson for
the relief of pulmonary affections"
DIR. A. c. Jones, of Tucson, said.-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities i'll 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-
MA and Arizona Five years of that !
have devoted to active practice in two of
the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one year in this city.
Tucson, in my judgment, possesses
advantages over all the resorts Of ,''v ac e

matte advantages for an aggravated
case OF bronchitis and for pulmonary
tuberculosis in the second stage. For

Hon Whitelaw Reid, in his journal, the
New York Tribune oI. Arizona in WIN
ter, among othe, =. During
five months rcStd southern Ariz.
ona in winter the Sas but one iay
when the weather made IL actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open AIR at some time or OF her during
the dav. Of course there were good
many days which a wea, her observer
would describe as cloudy, nni some
that were 'showery. but during the five
months from November. 1896 to MAY,
iS96l there were only four days when
we did not have brilliant sunshine al
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt, anywhere north OF Luxor,
ArIAona 10 The land of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter arc
apt to be cool enough Tor wood fires
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 singularly clear,
tonic and dry. have never secn il
clearer anywhere in the world. Ii seems
TO have about the same braeing and cx
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai in Arabia
PatTaea. 1t is much drirr than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to the about the same in
quality rs the AIR on the Nile between
Assonan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
As to food, there is plenty. and it is
good. Prom here the markets OF Los
Angeles. and even OF Il, nvci are largely
supplied. Good bcci, mutton and uoni-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks

season is long one. II is the one coun-

ripen in the open air ten months IN the
year. have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at

DR.. A. ". Oicott, health officer of Tue
son. SavS.-"The climate OF Tucson il
characterized ipy pure, dry, Invigerating
air: n small amount ot rainfall. and an
ever-shiniug sun. II is surrounded by
mountains which cut OH the chilling
winds of winter. and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions Its south
ern position gives IT Il mild winter cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door lite 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 numbcress cures for consumption. ex
plotted monthly. stands first in the con-
hdcnce 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. wit h
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.
