The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-29
Wbere the Climate IS pure
Hnd the Hlr is Balmy.%

Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-At Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about eleven inches. Some years it is
nine months, October to June inclusive,
days and nine of those were in one
month
r-perature.-During the months OF
une, July and August the average tenn
oerature is about 80 degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
chat no inconvenience is experienced.
There being but limited irrigation in the
leighborhood of Tncson there is no
humidity produced in that way, AS is
notably the case in the neighborhood of
Phoenix, where agricultural develop
ment has through the aid of irrigation
reached a great stage, The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
daring the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryness OF C1imate.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's dryness. 1t
is phenominal. There isno such thing as
what is called sultrv weather as in the
east. A recent visitor to Tucson joking
ly remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is fact that the eff
feet of a heavy shower is observable for
but few hours. In this dry climate
sunstrokes are unknown. The dry air
induces exceedingly rapid evaporation of
the abundant perspiration. AS mat
ter of course the supply of fluid must be
maintained, hence one drinks a great
deal of water here.
Good Water at Tucson.-Everyone is
aware of the Importance of good water,
and this Tucson certainly has. More
over, there are two ice factories which
supply any quantity of beautiful ice.
Effect of dry Climate on Temperature.
Another effect of the extremely dry eli
mate is that the sensible temperature is
tar less than that recorded by the ther-
mometer would indicate. Some claim
that there is a difference of as mach as
! fifteen degrees between the sensible tenn
| perature and that recorded by the ther-
mOmeter.
Climate the Only Cure for Pulmonary
Disease 1t is admitted that no medical
treatment has yet been discovered that
will cure pulmonary consumption The
only cure is that of climate, and in Tue
son the warm dry atmosphere seems to
be especially efficacious. AS to the special
advantage which its climate offers for
the relief and restoration of those suffer
ing from pulmonary complaints, note
what different prominent physicians Of
the city say:
DR.. w. B. Purcell, County Physician
Observes:-'It is an undisputed fact that
proper climatic conditions give the
greatest relief to those affected with OF
having tendency to phthisis.
"When a phthisicai tendency exist:
great care should be exercised to prevent
The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-29

patients should be sent to the arid re
gions so soon as there is evidence of in
fiction from the tubercie bacillus, and
should be made to remain there until
they are well, or until it is apparent that
the case is hopeless.
"Many physicians in the east order
patients to California for the winter,
apparently with view of sending them
to dry climate. The relative humidity
in southern California is as great, and
in some instances greater, than that ia
the Atlantic coast, and many of the best
physicians in California regularly send
their tubercular and asthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is beautiful
country, but the fogs which come in
rom the sea, and the emanations from
the vast irrigated regions, make it far
inferior to the inland desert regions for
phthisical patients. think it may be
assumed as a general rule that wher-
ever there is irrigation there is high
degree of relative humidity and patients
suffering from pulmonary phthisis
should never be sent to an irrigated dis
trict. Indeed, some of the California
physicians have declared that irrigation
and malaria go together
The city ot Tucson has. in my opin-
ion, advantages as a health resort
which can not be equalled anywhere in
North America. know of no locality
where such moderate winter climate
and such low degree of relative humid
ity are combined with tie same latitude
and altitude. 1t is no longer considered
imperative to send tubercular patients
to an altitude of 5000 feet, or over. In
fact, clinical experience has proven that
more frequently patients required to be
sent to an altitude or less, rather than
more than 5000 feet. The altiamde Of
Tucson is 2,40O feet. and that seems to
be amply high for all but the most ex-
ceptional cases. The.city is situated in
a basin near the underground Santa
Cruz river. 1t is completely walled in
bv massive mountain ranges. To the
north is the Santa Catalina range; to
the east, the Rincon; to the south, the
Santa Rita; and on the west, the Tue
son. Each of these ranges has an alti-
tude of 5000 feet at least. Mount Le-
mon. the highest peak of the Catalinas,
has an elevation of 10000 feet, and
Mount Wrightson in the Santa Ritas,
reaches an altitude of nearly II ,000
feet.
"The scenery at Tucson is as impress
siye as anywhere in the Rocky noun
tains, and the:gorgeous sunrise and sun
set beggar description.
During the nine months, October to
June, inclusive, 1S94-5, there were but
twenty-five cloudy days, and nane OF
these were in one month. Some idea OF
the transparency of the atmosphere may
be had when state that, at midd ay

it's development. AS humidity is such an
important factor in the cause of COM
sumption, those affected with or having
a predisposition to lung disease should
Immediately seek the proper climate tav-
orable to their condition.
"The climate of Colorado has beer re-
commended for it's beneficial effects for
consumption; 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
hercp'csis 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-
ditions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having a peculiar type of eonsti-
tuition with hereditary tendency to
consumption would do we'll to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come

DR.. A. c. Jones, of Tucson, said:--"The

opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis. Within that time

The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-29

"The heat is peculiar; it IS never close
and oppressive; there is never sense OF
snffocation. The sum-. ,.S :tre the most
healthful period of -e 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 countriesd darlng
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been a case of chCG q '-1tan-
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 IF 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 per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocatlng
in the altitude suited to their particular
case that did not get well; nor have
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 a city of 1000 Inhabitants,
on the main line of the Southern Pacific
Railway, altitude 2,40O feet above the
sea level. Tucson is one of the Oldest
settlements made by the Spanish con-
querors. 1t is now the commercial and
railroad center of Southern Arizona. The
climate is exceedingly dry and bracing,
the humidity being exceedingly low; the
yearly minimum and maximum being
26o and $50 respe> lively. The rainfall
is small and but little irrigation is car
ried on. The water supply is excellent.
The summers are long, the thermometer
ranges high, but the low degree othunld-
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 partlcul-
arly beneficial to most cases of pulmon-
ary phthisis, especially those of tie
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 a climate the United States
does not possess, but the nearest ap
proach to it is Arizona.

we did not have brilliant sunshine at
some time during the dav. Even more
than Egypt, anywhere north of Luxor,
Arizona is the land of the sunshine.
"The nights throughout the winter are
| apt to be cool enough for wood fres
and blankets. Half the time an over
coat is not needed during the day. but it
is never prudent for stranger to be
without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear,
tonic and dry. | have never seen it
clearer anywhere in the world. 1t seems
to have about the same bracing and ex
hilarating qualities as the air of the
great Sahara in northern Africa or OF
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabia
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any part
of the valley of the Nile north of Gatar-
act. 1t seems to me about the same in
quality as the air on the Nile between
Assouan and Wady Halfa, but some
what cooler.

Angeles. and even of d nvci are largely

try have lived in where Strawberries

year have had them on my table,
fresh picked from the open gardens, at
Christmas.
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-
tilted. He will find as many churches
as in towns corresponding size in Penn
sylvania or Ohio, and probably more
school houses, and yet he will find plenty
of liquor shops, too, and gambling
houses, and yet he will see little disorder
unless he hunts late at night for it, and
he will find ii community of ter thou
sand people requiring in tha daytime
only one policeman, and very little oc-
cupation for him.
: DR.. A. W. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, mvigorating
air; small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shiniug 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-of-door life the entire year, and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life
i'll the open air. This treatment, in spite
of fnumberless cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the CON
hdence 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
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
