4 Harvey IS enc AZ the seasons possible
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-08
Wbere the Climate IS pure
Hnd the Hir is Balmy.&

Exceedingly Small Rainfall.-At Tue
son the rainfall for the whole year is only
about clever inches. Some years it is
not even as much as that. During the
nine months, October to June inclusive,
1S94-5 there were but twenty-five cloudy
days and nine of those were in one
month
Temperature.-During the months OF
lune, July and August the average tenn
nerature is about 80 degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
that 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 great stage, The fall, winter
and spring months can be compared
with the Italian cline Flowers bloom
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryness OF Climate.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than it's dryness. 1t
is phenominal There is no 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" It is fact that the ef-
feet of a heavy shower is observable for
but a 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 cli-
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 efhcacious. 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 saw:
DR.. w. B. Purcell, County Physician,
Observes:-"It is an undisputed fact that
proper climatic conditions give the
greatest relief to those affected with or
having tendency to phthisis.
"When a phthisical tendency exists
great care should be exercised to prevent
