The importance of climate as a factor in the treatment ofpulmonary tuberculosis is daily manifesting more and moreits value, whether taken separately, or coupled with the va-rious specific plans of therapy now advocated and employedin this important branch of practice. Physicians are inform-ing themselves more widely upon this vital question, and theexperiences gained by the practitioner living amidst suchideal climatic conditions as exist in New Mexico are being-looked upon with more interest and kindly considerationthan has heretofore been accorded them.
