winter. as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within a few
hours. and 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 a hereditary tendency TO
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
at is a fact that those born hcre.ot
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, SO long as they re-
main in this climate. II 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, CaliEor-
MIA and Arizona Five wears of that |
have devoted to active practice in two of
the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one year in this city.
Tucson. in my Judgment. possesses
advantages over all the resorts Of r,v ac-
quaintance. else should not be here. |
