13 never known at home, and digested without knowledge of organs or processes. With a labor only known to those who have worked in such direction, Dr. Denison has utilized the mass of statistics gathered by the Signal Service Department, and placed before the profession his seasonal maps of the United States. These are worthy the careful study of every physician, and teach many facts of the greatest importance. Under date of June, 1885, he writes in regard to Colorado: "In my practice of twelve years in Colorado, it has been very seldom that I have known of the origination of phthisis here, and with the carefully kept records of nearly twelve hundred cases of asthma, phthisis, chronic pneumonia, etc., I do not remember to have written a certificate of death for one uncomplicated case of phthisis originating in Colorado. Of course there are such cases; I have one under my care at the present time. As civilization progresses here, it will not be strange if the disease becomes much more frequently met with in thickly settled districts, made up as they are of a considerable scattering of regenerated invalids. . . . The weight of evidence is so decidedly in favor of elevation as an important factor in the climate for the consumptive, that it will not answer for any one who has not personally investigated the Rocky Mountain regions, or similar elevated resorts, to say that nothing has been proved for elevation. Everything has been proved; since all the most desirable attributes, dryness, coolness, "unshine, stimulation of increased atmospheric electricity, sandy soil, perfect drainage, and last, but not least, purity of atmosphere, are found and increased with elevation above the sea level." Dr. H. Weber, in his excellent resume of the subject of climatic treatment of phthisis given in the the Croonian lectures, published in the British Medical Journal during the present year, emphasizes the advantage gained by the invalid not only from ele-

Henry Orlando Marcy (1837-1924) was a medical doctor practicing in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1885, Dr. Marcy published this paper, “The Climatic Treatment of Disease” with the subhead, “Western North Carolina as a Health Resort.” His article was often cited by the Appalachian National Park Association as a reason for having a national park in the southern Appalachians. The article was reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association in 1885.
