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 here OF
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, so long as they re-
man i'll this climate. 1t 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 relici OF pulmonary affections"
DR.. A. {. Jones. of Tucson, said.-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities i'll the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pnl-
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
have visited the resorts of Florida,
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. CaIifor-
mia and Arizona Five wears of that |
have devoted to active practice IN twoof
the most frequent resorts of Colorado

advantages over all the resorts of .o,v ac.

when the weather made II actually nm
pleasant for me to take exercise in ths
open air at some time or other during
the day. otcourse there were a goot
many days which weal her observer

We did not have brilliant sunshine "a

than Egypt. anywhere north OF Luxor
Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter ar
apt to be cool enough for wood fircs
and blankets. Half the time an owe,
coat is not needed during the day, but
is never prudent for stranger to b
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear
tonic and dry. have never seen
clearer anywhere in the world. II seem
TO have about the same bracing and ex
hilaratIng qualities as the air of III
great Sahara III northern Africa or
he desert about Mount Sinai. in Arab
Patraea. 1t is much dricr than any par
OF the valley OF the Nile north of Gatar
act. II seems to me about the same Il
quality as the air on the Nile betwect
Assouan and Wady Halta. but some
what cooler.
'As to food, there is plenty, and it il
good. From here the markets Of Lo
Angeles. and even of u, neci are iargel,
supplied. Good beet. mutton and poui
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, duck:
and vcnison from the vicinity can alst
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abund

The man who goes TO any consider
able Arizona town with the idea of the
southwest derived from novels, or from
The Arizona Kicker, will be greatly mys
t tilted. He will find as many churche:
as in towns otcorrcspouding size In Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably NOR,
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too and gambling
houses, and vet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late Mt night for it, ant
he will find community of ten thou
sand people requiring in the daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc
cupation for him"
DIR. A. W. O!cott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"Thc climate of Tucson i;
characterized by pure, dry, invigoratinl
air; small amount of rainfall, and ar
cver-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds of winter and the dreaded sane
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il q mild winter eli
mate. These conditions render pleasant
an out-of-door life the entire year, ant
permit those suffering from lung anC
, bronchial diseases daily exercise and lif,
in the open air. This treatment. in spite
of numberless cures for consumption. ex

hdcnce of the people and of the medica
profession as the best single mean:

tuberculosis. The out-ot-door life, witt
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.
