The Tucson citizen., 1902-08-12


IN the whole year but the most delicate |
invalid can spend part OF the day, at !
least, out OF doors. In this climate in-
iuries and wounds heal very rapidly; |
contagious diseases are usually very ,
mild. There has been no epidemic, ex-
cept III whooping cough, for years.
The winter months, from the middle
OF September to the first OF May, are in
tins locality the finest in the world. One
bright sunshiny DAY succeeds another;
the nights are cool and eXhiiarating; the
whole country green with the richest
yerduc and the brightest howers. Truly
il is a 10Y 10 live.
AT present have never known per
