The Tucson citizen., 1902-01-01

Those having peculiar type of consti-
tuition with hereditary tendency to
consumption would do well to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is fact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, so long as they re-
main in this climate. 1t is my opinion
that there is no other section of the
United States which will compdre 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 i'll the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull

have devoted to active practice in two of
the most frequent resorts of Colorado

advantages over all the resorts of s',v ac-

good. From here the markets of LIZ
Angeles. and even Of d, ntei are larsel

and venisou from the vicinity can ais
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abuns

season is long one. 1t 10 the one cour
