Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climatology and Mineral Waters of the United States It has been my effort in this treatise so to present the ascertained facts in regard to the variety of climate and mineral waters in the United States as to render them available for the promotion of health. To this end, wherever I have not myself observed the conditions described, I have used the observations of others, and, for the most part, in their own words, without regard to any preconceived theory of relative values; that whatever may be the difference in the views of physicians or other persons on the relative value of different climates and mineral waters in particular eases, or for the promotion of health in general, the work will be equally available for all, with regard to the data of any given place or climate, or mineral waters sought.

Excerpt: ...of the organs of locomotion and speech. A continued residence, however, is said to overcome these unpleasant effects in persons of sound and robust health; and from the number of Americans and Germans residing in the higher regions of New Mexico, who transact their business at no small expenditure of physical exertion, I believe thi3 to be the case, and that in time an accommodation obtains between the lungs and the somewhat diminished quantity of oxygen. 1 Op. cit., p. 293. "As regards the invalid whose breathing apparatus is crippled by tubercular deposit, by chronic pneumonia, or whose blood, whatever may be the cause, requires full aeration, I deem it worse than useless for him to endeavor to regain health or even comfort in such localities. I regard my lungs (and my chest measurement is forty-four inches) as perfectly sound, and yet after reporting for duty in Santa Fe I could not, as ageneral rule, breathe comfortably, although at times, when a damp atmosphere prevailed, I could not notice any impediment to respiration. The past summer (1874) was exceptionally warm, and I was at intervals asthmatic to a terrible degree, crushed actually by a feeling of impending dissolution. The common advice to me was 'wear it out; you will be all right next year.' No sooner, however, had I started East than my troubles, as I descended in altitude, lessened proportionally." From Fort Union, with an altitude of 6,700 feet, 100 miles distant from Santa Fe, situated in a narrow valley on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains, Assistant Surgeon, W. H. Gardner, U. S. Army, reports:1 "Wind from some quarter is almost constant, and the soil being light and sandy, is blown about in clouds of blinding, suffocating dust that irritates the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Mineral Waters: The New England States The term mineral water has been variously defined, the definition having gradually changed from the restricted sense, meaning a water used only for medicinal purposes, to a water used for drinking or sometimes bathing purposes. Thus Dr. Peale, in his report to the Geological Survey on the statistics of mineral waters and the mineral water industry of the United States, says: Our reports do not restrict the term 'mineral water' to medicinal waters, but include all waters put on the market, whether they are utilized as drinking or table waters, or for medicinal purposes, or used in any other way. Bailey, in a special report of the Kansas Geological Survey, quotes Ossian Henry to the effect that Mineral waters are those waters which, coming from the bosom of the earth at variable depths, bring with them substances which may have upon the animal economy a medicinal action capable of giving rise to effects often very salutary in the different diseases affecting humanity, and he further quotes M. Durian-fardel to the effect that mineral waters are those 'natural waters which are employed in therapeutics because of their chemical composition or their temperatures. Walton, in his history of the mineral springs of the United States and Canada, defines a mineral water, in the medical acceptation of the term, as one which, by virtue of its ingredients, whether mineral, organic, or gaseous, or the principle of heat, is especially applicable to the treatment of disease.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Climatology of California Mr. J B. Lippincott, of Los Angeles, resident hydrographer of the United States Geological Survey, has kindly placed at our disposal the rainfall data at high altitudes used by him in his engineering practice. In California seasonal rainfalls and data showing probable water supply in various drainage basins are of the utmost importance to the engineering profession. In the present paper many fragmentary rainfall records had to be omitted in order to keep the volume within reasonable limits. Many of these can be found in Irrigation and Water Storage by Glassford. The diagrams of rainfall in this memoir show the seasonal amounts, because for engineering and other purposes the seasonal rather than the calendar year totals are desired. In the various tables, however, it was thought best to continue the usual yearly amounts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Report on the Climate of Arizona written by Adolphus Washington Greely and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Climate of Arizona: With Particular Reference to Questions of Irrigation and Water Storage in the Arid Region In this connection it seems also important to consider the absolute humidity conditions over the arid region, that is, the actual quantity of aqueous vapor contained in each cubic foot of air at or near the surface of the earth. On charts Nos. 2 and 3 are shown typical curves with reference to the absolute humidity of the air, which is expressed in the number of grains of water in each cubic foot of air. In preparing these charts it has been necessary to ignore State lines, as the distribution of moisture and damp air depends so very largely not only on the contiguity to the ocean, but also on the direction of the prevailing winds and the character of the intervening country over which the wind must pass from the source of water supply. Consequently these typical curves have been drawn for the Pacific coast region, the interior of California, and for Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. The important hearing which the prevalence of moisture or dry air has upon growing vegetation is well known, but further than this it has an equally important bearing upon the methods of irrigation, since the drier the air the greater the quantity of stored or flowing water which will be evaporated thereby. As will be noted by reference to these charts, the greatest quantity of water is not found in the same month over all parts of the arid region. In addition to the charts, it appears advisable to make some general statements as to the prevalence of moisture or dry air over the regions under consideration. It is impracticable to draw for general conclusions any hard and fast line as to what constitutes very dry or very wet air, as this question turns on the normal temperatures, which in turn depend materially on the lati tude, the elevation, and the locality with reference to great bodies of water. In general terms, however, it has been decided for present purposes to consider as very dry that air which contains during the colder half of the year - from October to March, inclusive - less than 1 grain of aqueous vapor to each cubic foot of air over Montana, Idaho, and the Dakotas, and less than 2 grains of aqueous vapor to each cubic feet of air over Arizona and New Mexico, with intermediate conditions for the intervening country. During the six warmer months of the year - April to September, inclusive - the limiting figures have been placed at 2 grains for the more northerly sections named and 3 grains for the more southerly. Under these limitations it appears that there is no very dry air over the arid regions during October, but that over the whole region west of the one hundredth meridian, except in California, Oregon, and Washington, along the coast region of the Pacific Ocean, the air gradually grows drier until January, when there is less than 1 grain of aqueous vapor to a cubic foot of air over the Dakotas, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska, and the greater part of Colorado; while less than a grain and a half per cubic foot is then to be found over northwestern Texas, the greater part of New Mexico, northern Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, and the western parts of Washington and Oregon.
