commend Colorado during the fall and
winter. as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atm ospheric con-

advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having a peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to
consumption would do we'll to avail
themselves OF an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
"It 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. 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. 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
mouary tuberculosis. Within that time
| have visited the resorts of Florida,
| Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. Califor-
MIA and Arizona Five years Of that
have devoted TO active practice in two OF
the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one wear IN this CITY.
Tucson. in my Judgment, possesses
advantages over all the resorts Of nrv ac-
quaintance, else should not be here.
came in quest of the best possible cli-
matte advantages for an aggravated
case of bronchitis and for pulmonary
tuberculosis in the second stage. For
six months / had been unable to dis
charge my professional duties tor a sim
gle day. The former three months of
this time | was attended by two trained
nurses and half-a-dozen doctors. Have
been disappointed? No. ann IN bet

have iad years respite from the ter
rors of bronchial cough. have been
able to resume practice and have. the
pas. few months, reinyaded the trying
field of heavy surgery. Had given up
my professional work entirely on my ar
rival and engaged in some more active
line of business physically should now
be far along the road to reco very OF my
former weight and strength"

Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
: THE nights throughout the winter ar
apt TO be cool enough for wood ures
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but /
is nevrr prudent for a stranger to b
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear
