DR.. A. w. Olcott, health officer of Tue
son, says:-"The climate of Tucson is
characterized by pure, dry, invigorating
air; 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. Its south
ern position gives it q mild winter eli
mate These conditions render pleasant
an out-ofdoor 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 numbercss cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con-
fidence 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 treatment, has afforded
relief to numbers of sufferers who are be-
vond hope of cure, and cured many in
the earlier stages of consumption.
