becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are mospheric con-
ditions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having a peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is a fact that those born hereof
+ tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, SO long as they re-
main in this climate 1t is NV 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 III the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
l have visited the resorts of Florida.
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Califor-
MIA and Arizona Five wears of that
have devoted to active practice in two OF
the most frequent resorts OF Colorado
and one wear i'll this city.
Tucson, i'll my Judgment, possesses

uuaintance, else should not be here.

former weight and strength"
Hon Whitelaw Reid, in hisjournal, the
New York Tribune OI. Arizona in Win
| ter, among othel IL says" During
FIVE months resid ~, southern Ariz-
ona in winter ther Xas but one day
when the weather made it actually un-
pleasant for me to take exercise in the
open air at some time or other during
the dav. @ tcourse there were a good
many days which a weather observer
would describe as cloudy and some
that were showery; but during the five
months (from November, 1895 to May,
! 1866 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.
"rhe nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but it
is never prudent for a stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. l 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.
GAS to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets of Los
Angeles, and even of DtnveI are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks
and venison from the vicinity can also
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund.
ant in their season, and sometimes the
season is long one. 1t is the one coun'
try have lived in where rawberries
ripen in the open air ten months in the
year Il 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 the
