Excerpt from Health Resorts of the Salt River Valley in Arizona: Including Prescott, Jerome and Castle Creek Hot Springs Are your lungs weak? Have you a troublesome cough? Is your throat disagreeably affected by each change of weather? Are your nerves unstrung? If thus afflicted, try the "climate cure," which consists of taking up one's residence in a place where the air is dry, pure, warm and equable, and where proper medical attendance and nursing may be had if needed. Nature is the best of physicians when conditions are friendly. Where shall one go for friendly conditions? The best place in this country, and perhaps the best in the world, is the Rocky Mountain region of Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Some localities in that immense uplift of the earth's crust are better than others. The Salt River Valley, in the south-central Arizona, takes high rank among the districts where lung and throat troubles can be relieved.
