advisable to spend these seasons there.

1T is fact that those born here;of
tuberculosis parents seldom ever have

that there is no other section of the

the relief OF pulmonary affections"

opportunities i'll the observation and

Arizona is the land Of the sunshine.
The nights throughout the winter are
apt To be cool enough for wood nres

is never prudent for a stranger to bs

what cooler.
