The Tucson citizen., 1902-01-07

HouTs, ana as THESE are atm OSpheriC con-
ditions TO be avoided it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-
tuition with hereditary tendency %
consumption would do well to avail
themselves OF an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1t is fact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, so long as they re-
main in this climate. It is my opinion
that there is no other section of the
United States which will compare favor
able with that in and about Tucson for
the relief OF pulmonary affections"
DR.. A. {. Jones. of Tucson said:-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of null
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
have visited the resorts OF Florida.
Texas. New Mexico. Colorado, Califor-
MIA and Arizona Five wears of that |

ona IN winter the Aas but one day
when the weather made il actually un.
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the day. Ofcourse there were a gooc
many days which a her observer
would describe as cloudy, ana som,
that were 'showery;' but during the five
months ttrom November, 1895 to May
ls96l there were only four DAYS whei
we dad not have brilliant sunshine a.
some time during the day. Even NOR,
than Egypt. anywhere north OF Luxor
Arizona Is the land OF the sunshine.
THE nights throughout the winter ar
apt to be cool enough for wood rires
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but i
is never prudent for stranger TO b
without one at hand.
/. The atmosphere is singularly clear
tonic and dry. have never sccn
clearer anywhere in the world. II seem
to have about the same bracing and ex
hiiarsting qualities as the air OF th
great Sahara in northern Africa or {
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arab
Patraea. II is much drier than any par
OF the valley of the Nile north of Gatal
act. Ii seems to me about the same i
quality ms the air on the Nile betwec
Assouam and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.
AS To food, there is plenty. and il i
good. From here the markets of Lo
Angeles. and even of Ds utri arc Target
supplied. Good beet. mutton and poul
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, duck
and venison from the vicinity can alst
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund
ant III their season. and sometimes tn
season is a long one. II is the one coun
try have lived in where straw berrie-
ripeu IN the open air ten months in tn,
year, have had them on my table
fresh picked from the open gardens, al
Christmas.
The man who goes TO any consider
able Arizona town with the idea of tn,

The Arizona Kicker. will be greatly myS
tilted. He will f1nd as MANY churche,
as in towns ofcorresponding size in Penn
sylvania or Ohio. and probably NOR,
school houses. and yet he will find plent,
OF liquor shops. too. and gambling
houses. and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, anc
he will find n community of ten thou
sand people requiring in the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc
Cupation for him.

son. savs:-"The climate of Tucson i,
characterized by pure, dry. iuvigoratinl
air. a small amount of rainfall. and al
ever shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sane
storms of most arid regions. It's south
