Dr.. A. ". Olcott. health officer of Tuc-
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure. dry. invigoratmp
air; a small amount Of rainfall. and an
eversliniug suf. 1t is surrounded nv
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds ot winter, and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives il q 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 trca tment, IL, spite
of fnumberless cures for consumption. ex
plotted monthly. stands first in the con
tidence 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 trea tmcnt. has afforded
relief to numbers OF sufferers who are be-
yond hope OF cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
