DR.. A. w. OIcott. health officer of Tue
son, says:--"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure. dry, invigorating
air: a small amount of rainfall, and an
cver-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
crn position gives il mild winter cli-
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year. aud
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
OF nun,berless cures for consumption. ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con.
tidence of the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known sfcombating the dread disease.
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life. with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be-
youd hope of cure. and cured many IN
| the IN rtier stages of consumption.
