Excerpt from Mexico Today

Climate is becoming ever a more influential factor in determining the course of travel and emigration. In this respect, Mexico has no rival. Although essentially atrop ical country, its altitude, which averages about five thou sand feet, combined with its position on both sides of the tropic of Cancer, and the fact that it lies in the zone of the monsoons that bring abundant summer rains, give tomost of the country a delightfully equable temperature of about seventy-two degrees. The rarity of the atmosphere and its general dryness make it not merely enjoyable and healthful, but also curative of some of the most distress ing' and fatal diseases that are common in lands of more variable climatic conditions.
