As to food. there is plenty. and it is

DR.. A. ". Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, saws" The climate of Tucson is
by pure, dry, invigorating
air; a small amount of rainfall. and an
ever-sh'ning sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut OFF the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sa nd
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives IL & mild winter eli
mate These conditions render pleasant
an Out-ot-door life the entire wear, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment. III spite
of numberlcSs cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly. stands first IN the con-
fidencc 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
relict to numbers of sufferers who are be
vond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
