ADVISABLE to spend these seasons there
nose having a peculiar type Of const;.
tuition with "A hereditary tendency ia
consumption would 90 well to avail
themselves OF an opportunity and come
i'ele ana remain exempt from disease.
II IN tact that those born hereof
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the diseaSe develop, so long as they re-
man IN 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 relief of pulmonary affections"
Or. A. {. Jones, of Tucson said:-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and
study OF the climatic treatment of null
| monary tuberculosis, Within that time
| have visited the resorts of FLORIDA,
| Texas, New Mexico, Colorado. Calitor-
MA and Arizona Five wears of that I
nave devoted to active practice in twoof
the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one year in this city.
Tucson, in my Judgment, possesses
| advantages over all the resorts of ,,va ac-
!
came IN quest OF the best possible cli-
matte advantages for an aggravated
case OF bronchitis and for pulmonary
4 tuberculosis IN the second stage. For
SIX months ! had been unable to dis.
charge my professional duties tor sin.
| gle day. The former three months of
! tins time was attended by two trained
nurses and half.a-dozen doctors. Have
/ been disappointed No. am in bet
/ ter condition than when | came and
/ have had years respite from the ter
rors OF bronchial cough. have been
able to resume practice and have, the
pas, few months, reinvadcd the irving
! field OF heavy surgery. Had | given up
my professional work entirely on my ar
rival and engaged in some more active
| line of business physically should now
be far along the road to recovery of my
former weight and strength"
| Hon WhiteIaw Reid, in his journal. the
! New York Tribune oi. Arizona in Win
/ ter, among othei - says" During
/ hve months resid ~ southern Ariz-
ona in winter the xas but one day
I when the weather made II actually un-
/ pleasant for me to take exercise i'm the
! open air at some time or other during
| the dav. OF course there were a good
many days which weather observer
I would describe as cloudy, ana some
/ that were 'showcry: but during the FIVE
months (from November. 1895 TO May.
/ 1S96) there were only four days when
We did not have brilliant sunshine a,
some time during the day. Even more
than Egyp:. anywhere north of Luxor,
| Arizona is the land OF the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt to be cool enough for wood rreS
and blankets. Halt the time an over
coat is not needed during the day, but II
is never prudent for stranger to bt
! without one at hand.
The atmosphere is singularly clear
tonic and dry. | have never seen il
clearer anywhere in the world. II seems
| to have about the same braciug and OK
| hiiarating qualities as the air of th'
great Sahara in northern Africa or o
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabii
Patraca. 1t il much dricr than any par
OF the valley of the Nile north OF Gatar
act. 1t seems 10 me about the same II
quality as the air on the Nile betweeI
Assouan and Wady Halta, but some
!. what cooler
"As to food, there is plenty, and il i
good. From here the markets OF Lo
Angeles. and even of D,nvet are largel
| supplied. Good beet. mutton and pou
try arc plenty and cheap. Quail, duck
and yeuison from the vicinity can ais
be had. Vegetables and fruits are aband
ant in their season, and sometimes tn
. season is n long one. 1t is the one cour
