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,
1894-5 there were but twenty-five cloudy
days and nine of those were in one
month
len. r.perature.-During the months OF
une, Fuly and August the average tenn
oerature is about 80 degrees, but there
so little humidity in the atmosphere
that no inconvenience is experienced
There being but limited irrigation in the
,eighborhood of Tucson 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
during the entire winter months.
Wonderful Dryness OF Climate.-There
is nothing more remarkable about the
climate of Tucson than its dryness. 1t
is phenominal. There is no such thing as
what is called sultrv weather as in the
east. A recent visitor to Tues on Joking
ly remarked that mot even the rains
seemed damp" 1t is a fact that the ef-
feet of 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 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 It 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 it's climate offers for
the relief and restoration of those suffer
ing from pulmonary complaints, note
what different prominent physicians oi
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
| saving a tendency to phthisis.
"When a phthisical tendency exists
reat care should be exercised to prevent

patients should be sent to the arid re.
gions so soon as there is evidence of in
fiction from the tubercle 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 oa
the Atlantic coast, and many of the best
physicians in California regularly send
their tubercular and asthmatic patients
to Tucson. California is a 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
1.-THE city ot Tucson has, in my opin-
ion, advantages as a health resort
which can not be equalled anywhere la
North America. / know of no locality
where such a moderate winter climate
and such low degree of relative humid
itv are combined with tie same latitude
ar 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 altitude of
Tucson is 2, 400 feet, and that seems to
be amply high for all but the most ex-
ceptionai cases. The city is situated In
a basin near the underground Santa
Cruz river. It 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 slti-
tude of {, 900 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, ,0O0
feet.
THE scenery at Tucson is as impress
sive as anywhere IN the Rocky noun
tains, and the gorgeous sunrise and sum
set beggar description.
During the nine months, October to
June, inclusive, 1S94-5, there were but
twenty-five cloudy days, and nine Of
these were in one month. Some idea OF

the line of the Southern Pacific K. K. IN
the Southern part of the Territory OF
Arizona, and on the edge of the Santa
Cruz Valley, lies the City of Tucson.
That it was first settled several centur-
les ago has little to do with what we
have to say here, but yet its story full
Of adventure and romance lends an IN
describable charm to the old town.
Evidences of Thrlft.-1ts antiquities
are, however, fast disappearing before
the march of progress. The adobe walls
that formed the battlements of the old
Mexican Pueblo have crumbled away
and the mission ruins are falling to
pieces Prominent public buildings,
churches, stores and handsome modern
residences have been erected with beautl-
full gardens, flowers and shrubbery sur
rounding many of the latter. Old streets
nave been graded, new ones laid out, and
other improvements made which give
thrifty appearance to the city.
Foreign Element.-Of irs population,
however, consisting of about ten thou
sand people, large Mexican element re-
mains, and it's presence gives foreign
all to the community as also do the
adobe buildings in which they mainly
dwell

In vast amphitheatre as it were, sur

roads in the vicinity make driving and
nacycling an especial pleasure. In every
direction charming mountain views
greet the eye, and at the sunset hour
gorgeous and resplendent colors cover
the western sky, the departing OF the
sun casting shadows upon the tops OF
the mountains which fairly enchant one.

"The climate of Colorado has been re-
commended for its 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
herculo sis subjects. bat 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 atm ospheric con-
ditions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having a peculiar type of consti-
tuition with a hereditary tendency to
consumption would do we'll to avail
themselves of an opportunity and come
here and remain exempt from disease.
1T is a fact that those born here'o of
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have
the disease develop, so long as they re-
main 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

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 tires
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.
GAS to food, there is plenty, and it is
good. From here the markets of Los
Angeles, and even of d. nvel are largely
supplied. Good beef, mutton and poul-
try are plenty and cheap. Quail, ducks

season is long one. 1t is the one coun-

"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 ofcorresponding 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 community of ten thou
sand people requiring in the 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, invigoratiug
air; a small amount of rainfall, and an
ever-shining sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut off the chilling
winds of winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. It's south
ern position gives it 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
in the open air. This treatment, in spite
of numberless 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 sfcombating 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 III
the earlier stages of consumption.
DIR. Harrison E. Stroud says of the
Climate of Arizona.--"Thes summers are
hot. There are some warm days IN May,
gradually increasing into June; and from
then on until the end ot Angus he ther-
mometer ranges high, hut wit Septem
Der comes cooler days and nights.
The Tucson citizen., 1902-09-12

"The heat is peculiar; it IS never close
and oppressive; there is never sense OF
snffocation. The sum- ere the most
healthful period of -.e year. Ane dry
heat oxidizes and desiccates refuse mat
ter and prevents fermentation that is
the great cause of disease, especially
among children, in most countriesdurl
the summer. To my knowledge there
has never been a case of choice 'nfan-
tum in the territory, nor has there been
caes of sunstroke. except drunkards
inebriated at the time. 1t is Uncommon
custom to sleep out of doors from the
middle Of 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 JOY to live.
"'At present l have never known per-
son coming to this Territory in the early
stages OF pulmonary disease andlocating
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."
DIR. 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 2,4O0 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
go and $50 respectively. 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 ofhunid-
ity makes the clear warmth tolerabie,
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 particul-
arly beneficial to most cases OF pulmon-
ary phthisis, especially those of the
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. h
order that the patient may live contin-
uously in the open air for period ofsev-
eral months, or, for that matter, for
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.
