TUKRCULOSiS EDIVARD LIVIXGSTOJf TRUDEAU Founder of the Opeu-Air Treatment for Tiiberonlosis HE open-air treatment of persons suffering with tuberculosis owes its beginning and its success to Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau, of Saranac Lake, N. Y. Doctor Trudeau, who died November 15, 1915, at the age of 67, was born in New York City in 1848 and was given his boyhood education in Paris. He graduated in medicine from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York in 1871, but the next year, at the age of 26, he was stricken with tuberculosis of the lungs, or, as it was then called, consumption. This he contracted from nursing a brother who died from the same disease. No precautions were taken against the then unknown dangers of infection, and the room was kept overheated, with windows tightly closed "lest," the doctor said, ''fresh air enter and do the patient harm." On knowing the nature of his disease, Doctor Trudeau went into the Adirondack Mountains, literally to die, for the best medical advice had given him only six months more of life. Here he built himself a small cottage and lived the simple, outdoor life, and here he found he was not to die like his brother, but to live—and to work. What appeared to be the end of his career was really the beginning of it. His life of forty years in the Adiron-dacks has resulted in the. healing and restoring to health of thousands suffering from the same disease from which he suffered. In 1884, he founded the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium, and in 1894 he founded the Saranac Laboratory for the Study of Consumption, the first laboratory exclusively devoted to the study of tuberculosis in this country. Doctor Trudeau lived to see the institutions which he found- Edward L. Trudeau, M.D., 184S-1915. First in the United States to demonstrate on a practical basis our present successful method of treating tuberculosis by means of rest, fresh air and proper food. ed established on an enduring basis. He saw the wild region where he located converted into a great health center, widely known and much sought by those having lung trouble. But what Doctor Trudeau gave to Saranac is small compared to what
