characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; n small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded bv
mountains which cut OFF the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south

an out-ofdoor life the entire wear. and
permit those suffering from lung and
bronchial diseases daily exercise and life

of numberlesS cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con- |
fidence 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.
