The climate of Colorado has beep re-
commended for its beneficial effects for
cousumption my long residence there
gave me ample and sufficient opport.
unity of judging climatic conditions
there existing during the summer months
The mountainous portions of Colorado
undoubtedly have beneficial effect on
berculo ais subjects. but cannot re
commend Colorado during the fall and
winter, as the changes are often severe,
becoming raw and cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric CON
dltlonS to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having peculiar type of consti-
tut1on with a hereditary tendency to
consumption would do we'll to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is a fact that those born here'ot
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 compare favor

The Arizona Kicker will be greatly mys-

he will find "a community of ter thou
sand people requiring in the daytime

cupation for him
DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, and an
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 a mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
tidence of the people and of the medical
profession as the best single means
known of formulating the dread disease,
tuberculosis. The out-of-door life, with
proper medical treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be-
yond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
DR.. Harrison E. Stroud says of the
Climate of fArizona.-"The summers are
hot. There are some warm days in Nav,
gradually increasing into June; a nd from
then on until the end OF Angus. he ther-
nometer ranges high, but wit, Septern
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-10

"The heat is peculiar; it IS never close
and oppressive there is never sense O
snffocation. The sum-. r.s are the most
healthful period of lie year, Ahe dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most commissioning
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been a case of choice 'ufan-
tum in the territory, nor has there been
caes of sunstroke, except drunkards
inebriated at the time. It is Uncommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle Of May until September. and
many (as the writer) sleep out during
the whole year. There are not FIVE days
in the whole year but the most delicate
invalid can spend part of the day, at
least, out of doors. In this climate in
luries and wounds heal very rapidly;
contagious diseases are usually very
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept in whooping cough, for years.
"The winter months, from the middle
of September to the first of May, are in
this locality the finest in the world. One
bright sunshiny day succeeds another;
the nights are cool and exhilarating; the
whole country green with the richest
verdue and the brightest flowers. Truly
it is a JOY to live.
"At present have never known a per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocating
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have l
known of one in the second stage that
did not improve. But cannot refrain
from raising my voice against the out
rage of sending advanced cases to this
or other sections to die among strang-
erS."
DR.. H. w. Fenner, of Tucson, Surgeon
of the Southern Pacific R. r., says
Tucson is city of 1000 inhabitants,
on the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railway, altitude 2,4OO feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the oldest
settlements made by the Spanish con-
querors. 1t is now the commercial and
center of Southern Arizona. The
climate is exceedingly dry and bracing,
the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum being
go and $50 respe. lively. The rainfall |
is small and but little irrigation is car
ried on. The water supply is excellent |

ranges high, but the low degree ofhumid-
ity makes the clear warmth tolerable,
and the most healthful part of the year.
Sunstrokes and heat prostrations are
unknown. The climate of Tucson has
been found by experience to be particul-
arly beneficial to most cases of pulmon-
ary phthisis. especially those of the
earlier or pre-tubercular periods.
Dr. Mark A. Rogers, of Tucson, says:
My experience has impressed upon
me the necessity for outdoor life in the
treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. In
order that the patient may live contin-
uously in the open air for period ofsev-
eral months, Or, for that matter, for a
year, or several years, climate is re-
quired which is continuously warm and
dry. Such climate the United States
does not possess, but the nearest ap-
proach to it is Arizona.
