DIR. A. W. Olcott, health officer OF Tue
son. says--"Tbe climate OF Tucson Is
characterized by pure, dry, 'nvigorating
air. n small amount ot rainfall, and an
eycr-shinimg sun. 1t is surrounded by
mountains which cut of the chilling
winds of winter. and the dreaded sand
storms of most arid regions. Its south
ern position gives it 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 lite
in the open air. This treatment, IN spite
of numberlcss cures for consumption, ex
plotted monthly, stands first in the con.
| hdencc 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-
vond hope of cure, and cured many ID
the earlier stages Of consumption.
