Wbere the Climate IS pure
Hnd the Htr is Balmy. -

Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-At Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about eleven inches. Some years it is
not even as much as that. During the
nine months, October to June inclusive,
1894-5 there were but twenty-five cloudy
days and nine of those were in one
month
ien-perature.-During the months OF
lune, July and August the average tenn
perature is about so degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
that no Inconvenience is experienced.
There being but limited irrigation in the
,eighborhood of Tncson there is no
humidity produced in that wav, as is
notably the case in the neighborhood of
Phoenix, where agricultural develop
ment has through the aid of irrigation
reached great stage. The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryness of Climate.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than its dryness. 1t
is phenominal. There is no such thing as
what is called su1trv weather as in the
east. A recent visitor to Tucson joking
ly remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is a fact that the ef-
feet of heavy shower is observable for
but a few hours. In this dry climate
sunstrokes are unknown. The dry air
induces exceedingly rapid evaporation of
the abundant perspiration. AS mat
ter of course the supply of fluid must be
maintained, hence one drinks a great
deal of water here.
Good Water at Tucson.-Everyone is
aware of the Importance of good water,
and this Tucson certainly has. More
over, there are two ice factories which
supply any quantity of beautiful ice.
Effect of dry Climate on Temperature.
Another effect of the extremely dry eli
mate is that the sensible temperature is
tar less than that recorded by the ther-
mometer would indicate. Some claim
that there is a difference of as m ach as
fifteen degrees between the sensible tern-
peratlre and that recorded by the ther-
mometer.
Climate the Only Cure for Pulmonary
Disease 1t is admitted that no medical
treatment has yet been discovered that
will cure pulmonary consumption. The
only cure is that of climate, and in Tue
son the warm dry atmosphere seems to
be especially efficacious. AS to the special
advantage which its climate offers for
the relief and restoration of those suffer
ing from pulmonary complaints. note
what different prominent physicians of
the city saw;
DIR. w. B. Purcell, County Physician,
Observes:-'It 1t is an undisputed fact that
proper climatic conditions give the
greatest relief to those affected with or
having tendency to phthisis.
"When a phthisical tendency exists
4Teat care should be exercised to prevent
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-22

patients should be sent to the arid re-
gions so soon as there is evidence of in
fiction from the tubercle bacillus. and
should be made to remain there until
they are well, or until it is apparent that
the case is hopeless.
"Many physicians in the east order
patients to California for the winter.
apparently with a view of sending them
to dry climate. The relative humidity
in southern California is as great, and
in some instances greater, than that oa
the Atlantic coast, and many of the best
physicians in California regularly send
their tubercular and aSthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is a beautiful
country, but the fogs which come in
rom the sea, and the emanations from
the vast irrigated regions, make it far
inferior to the inland desert regions for
phthisical patients. l think it may be
assumed as general rule that wher-
ever there is irrigation there is high
degree of relative humidity, and patients
suffering from pulmonary phthisis
should never be sent to an irrigated dis
trict. Indeed, some of the California
physicians have declared that irrigation
and malaria go together
"The city ct Tucson has, in nv ouin.
ion, advantages as a health resort
which can not be equalled anywhere in
North America. know of no locality
where such moderate winter climate
and such low degree of relative humid
ity are combined with tie same latitude
and altitude. 1t rs no longer considered
imperative to send tubercular patients
to an altitude of 1000 feet, or over. In
fact, clinical experience has proven that
more frequently patients required to be
sent to an altitude or less, rather than
more than 5000 feet. The altitude of
Tucson is 2.4OO feet. and that seems to
be amply high for all but the most ex-
ceptional cases. The city is situated in
basin aear the underground Santa
Cruz river. 1t is completely walled in
by massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to
the east, the Rincon; to the south, the
Santa Rita; and on the west, the Tue
son. Each OF these ranges has an alti-
tude of 5, 900 feet at least. Mount Le-
mon. the highest peak of the Catalinas.
has an elevation of 10000 feet, and
Mount Wrightson in the Santa Ritas.
reaches an altitude of nearly 1900
feet.
The scenery at Tucson is as impress
sive as anywhere in the Rocky noun
tains, and the gorgeous sunrise and sun
set beggar description.
During the nine months, October to
June, inclusive, 1S94~5, there were but
twenty-five cloudy days, and nine of
these were in one month. Some idea of
the transparency of the atmosphere may
be had when I state that, at midday
and with the unaided eye, have seen
Venus when it was but ten degrees east

Resort.i@

Location of Tucson on
the line of the Southern Pacific r. r. IN
the Southern part of the Territory o1
Arizona, and on the edge of the Santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City of Tucson.
That it was first settled several centur-
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet its story full
of adventure and romance lends an in
describabIe charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrlft-Lts antiquities
are, however, fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlements of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces. Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beauti-
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery SUR
rounding many of the latter. Old streets
nave been graded, new oneslaid out, and
other improvements made which give a
thrifty appearance to the city.
Foreign Element.-Of irs population,
however, consisting of about ten thou
sand people, large Mexican element re-
mains, and its presence gives foreign
air to the community as also do the
adobe buildings in which they mainly
dweil.
Topography.-The location of the city
In vast amphitheatre as 1t were, sur
onnded by beautiful mountains. and
esting under the canopy of the loveliest
OF blue skies, is beautiful. The splendid
roads in the vicinity make driving and
oicycling AN especial pleasure. In every
direction charming mountain views
greet the eye, and at the sunset hour
gorgeous and resplendent colors cover
the western sky, the departing of the
sun casting shadows upon the tops OF
the mountains which fairly enchant one.
Public Library.-Tucson has a well
selected library.
Hotel Accommodations hotel
accommodations are ample, and tor
those preferring them there are cottages
and rooms for rent at reasonable rates.
Tucson as Health Resort.-Itjs how
ever of +. Tucson as a health 1esort OF
which we wish to speak especially here,
and first of all let us say tho. it is situat-
ed almost in the centre If the climatic
belt recommended by tbs United States
Medical Commission, as the most favor
able region in the United States for those
afflicted with puln.ona ailments.
Altitude Abov the Sea The altitude
OF Tucson is about 2 400 feet above the
sea, and this by the way seems medium
altitude particularly suited to those suf-
Eering from such Diseases.
The Rainy Season.-July, August and
September cons itute the so-called
rainy season." nut the rains during
these months, VIII there are any, while
'l1ey are often violent are nothing more
than showers. 1t soon clears of and
the sun comes out as bright as ever, In
tu1y of this year there was scarcely any
rain. In no country are there so many
days of sunshine as in Arizona.

least, out of doors. In this climate in
luries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.

it is ajoy to live.
"At present have never known a per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocating
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have
known of one in the second stage that
did not improve. But cannot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
ers."
DR.. H. w. Fenner, of Tucson, Surgeon
of the Southern Pacific X. R., says
Tucson is a city of 5000 inhabitants,
on the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railway, altitude 2,4OO feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the oldest
settlements made by the Spanish con-
querors. 1t is now the commercial and
railroad center of Southern Arizona. The
climate is exceedingly dry and bracing,
the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum being
260 and $50 respectively. The rainfall
is small and but little irrigation is car
ried on. The water supply is excellent.
The summers are long, the thermometer
ranges high, but the low degree ofhunid-
ity makes the clear warmth tolerable,
and the most healthful part of the year.
Sunstrokes and heat prostrations are
unknown. The climate of Tucson has
been found by experience to be particul-
arly beneficial to most cases of pulrnon-
airy phthisis. especially those of the
earlier or pre-tubercular periods.
DIR. Mark A. Roger@ of Tucson, says:
MY experience has impressed upon
me the necessity for outdoor life in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. In
order that the patient may live contin-
uously in the open air for period ofsev-
eral months, or, for that matter, for
year, or several years, climate is re-
quired which is continuously warm and
dry. Such a climate the United States
does not possess, but the nearest ap-
proach to it is Arizona.

important factor in the cause of COM

pred1sposition to lung disease should
immediately seek the proper climate tav-
orable to their condition.
"The climate of Colorado has been re-

gave me ample and sufficient opport-

The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
berculo els subjects. but cannot re
commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within a few
hours, and as these are atmospheric con-
dltions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to

we did not have brilliant sunshine at

than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
"The hights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for 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 seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hllaratlng 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 d. nvel are largely

try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks

be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund.

The man who goes to any consider
able Arizona town with the idea of the
southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns corresponding size in Penn.
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find a community of ten thou
sand people requiring in the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him"
Dr. A. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"T The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shining 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 cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, i'll spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
fdence 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, with
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.
