| oSSohlhS raw ana cold within few
hours, and as these are atmospheric con-
ditions to be avoided, it would not be
advisable to spend these seasons there.
Those having 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 fact that those born here 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 i'll and about Tucson for
the relief of pulmonary affections"
DR.. A. c. Jones, of Tucson, said:-"The
past seven years have afforded me large
opportunities in the observation and
study of the climatic treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis. Within that time
| have visited the resorts of Florida,
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Califor-
MIA and Arizona Five years of that |
have devoted to active practice in two oi
the most frequent resorts of Colorado
and one year in this CITY.
Tucson, in my Judgment, possesses
advantages over all the resorts of rv ac-
quaintance, else should not be here. !
came in quest of the best possible eli.
matte advantages for an aggravated
case of bronchitis and for pulmonary
tuberculosis in the second stage. For

field of heavy'surgery. Had l given uI

i Hon. Whitelaw Reid, in hisjournal, thu
New York Tribune. On Arizona in Win
ter, "among othei ...ies says:-"Durins
five months resid"ncs southern Ariz

pleasant for ne to take exercise in tn,
open air at some time or other durinf
the day. Ofcourse there were q gooi
many days which a weather observer
would describe as cloudy, and som,
that were .showery;' but during the, nv,

1S96) there were only four days whe,

THE nights throughout thewinter ar
apt TO be cool enough for wood nres
and blankets. Half the time an over

The atmosphere is singuiarly clear
, tonic and dry. have never seen i
! clearer any where in the world. II seem
to have about the same braciug and ex
hiIarating qualities as the air of tn
= great Sahara in northern Africa or c
the desert about Mount Sinai, in Arabs
Patraea. 1t is much drier than any par
E of the valley of the Nile north of Gatai
!. act. It seems to me about the same i
c quality as the air on the Nile betwee
, Assouan and Wady Haifa, but some
= what cooler.
; "As to food, there is plenty, and it
D good. From here the markets OF Lo
r Angeles, and even of d. n<ei are largel
Isuppiied. Good beef, mutton and pou
n try are plenty and cheap. Quail, duck
and venison from the vicinity can ais
be had. Vegetables and fruits are abunt
c ant in their season, and sometimes til
season is long one. 1t 10 the one cou'

m characterized by pure, dry. invlgoratir

winds of winter, and the dreaded sai
