DR.. A. W. Olcott. health officer of Tue,
son., says:--"The climate of Tucson il
characterized by. pure, dry. invigoratine
air; a small amount of rainfall, land ar
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 q mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
| bronchial diseases daily exercise and hft
in the open air. This treatment, inspits
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con
iidence of the people and of the medical
professiou as the best single means
known sfcombating the dread disease
tuberculosis. The out-ofdoor life, with
proper,medical treatment. has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be
yond hope of cure. and cured many il
the earlier stages of consumption.
