narcotic propensities tended to soothe the angry

Jacoby. who. writing OF his times. declares:

the snuffbox is handed TO him. and we all have
too much self-control. even under the most try

Even women in those days who did not take

To the Editor Of The Tribune:

1t is true that this climate is the best in the

else dead against them.
The only ones who have any show at all are
those who come at the very first indication OF
trouble so that they able to work without
expanding essential energy, or those who are
amply supplied with money and can afford
every care and absolute rest.
The Instructions given by the average Eastern
physician would be ridiculous were the results
not so sad: Rest all you until your strength
permits exercise; take plenty of nourishing food.
especially milk and fresh eggs. 1 don't think
you will need a physician. The climate is the
main thing"
This, or its equivalent. is the manual with
which literally thousands OF men and women
pour into these Southwestern cities. The I'M
fortunate creatures usually have the impression
that in a few months they will be able to work
again. and the people at home are equally duped-
The facts are that a consumptive with even
slight fever should not exercise az all: that milk
and eggs and all other provisions are very high
In these parts. and that all cOnsumptives should
be under a Doctors constant supervision to pre-
vent those mistakes which are so often fatal to
the most promising cases. The consumptive is
not exempt from life's ordinary small ailments.

one Of the reasons why the late Khedive was

smoking them. the result being that he had TO
