BEGINNINGS 15 



In 1917 the Trudeau School of Tuberculosis, named in honor 

 of Edward Livingston Trudeau, was founded at Saranac Lake, 

 N. Y., and three years later the Colorado School of Tuberculosis 

 was established at Colorado Springs, with Dr. Gerald B. Webb as 

 Dean. 



In 1913 Dr. John H. Pryor, of Buffalo, returned from Europe, 

 after having studied the Rollier system of heliotherapy for the 

 treatment of local and general tuberculosis. He was fortunate 

 enough to secure funds sufficient to erect proper buildings for this 

 treatment, as part of the J. N. Adam Memorial Hospital for in- 

 cipient tuberculosis at Perrysburg, N. Y. This was the first 

 institution where this beneficial treatment for bone, joint, and 

 glandular tuberculosis was put in practice in this country on a 

 large scale. 



The first periodical in America to be devoted entirely to tu- 

 berculosis was the Journal of Tuberculosis, which made its initial 

 appearance in June, 1899, under the editorship of Carl von Ruck, 

 B.S., M.D., of Asheville, N. C. In 1903 the Journal of the Out- 

 door Life saw the light of day at Saranac Lake, N. Y., under the 

 able editorship of Dr. Lawrason Brown. This journal has been 

 productive of a great deal of good, and has now no less than 

 6,500 subscribers. It is published monthly by the National 

 Tuberculosis Association, 370 Seventh Avenue, New York city. 

 The editorial staff is composed of the following: James Alexander 

 Miller, M.D., editor-in-chief; H. R. M. Landis, M.D., Lawrason 

 Brown, M.D., Fred H. Heise, M.D., Allen K. Krause, M.D., 

 Charles L. Minor, M.D., Philip King Brown, M.D., A. W. Jones, 

 Jr., Homer Folks, George Thomas Palmer, M.D., John Tombs, 

 Charles J. Hatfield, M.D., associate editors; and Philip P. Jacobs, 

 Ph.D., managing editor. The aim of this journal is to be helpful 

 to persons seeking health by an outdoor life, and to disseminate 

 reliable information looking to the prevention and cure of tuber- 

 culosis. 



In the year 1916 American tuberculosis workers felt the need 

 of a scientific publication similar to the German Zeitschrift, which 

 then arrived very irregularly in this country owing to war condi- 

 tions, and the National Tuberculosis Association laid plans for a 

 monthly publication to be called The American Review of Tuber-
