becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric 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 10 avail
themselves OF an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
| 1T 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. 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"
