Los Angeles Hikers, N.Y., 12/30/13, W.A. Clarkson, Mrs. Mabel Ackerman, Carrie Van Gaasbeck and A.A. Berger (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:

  In December 1913, the New York TImes reported on the arrival of Carrie T. Van Gaasbeck, Alfred A. Berger, and J. T. Price, three tuberculosis survivors who hiked from Los Angeles to Washington DC to deliver a letter asking President Wilson for research on tuberculosis treatments and cures. The hiking, in winter, was part of the demonstration that they were, indeed, cured of TB. query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9801E1D6103FE633A...

Dr. F.F. Friedmann (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Nathan Adams said:

  Dr. Friedmann supposedly cured tuberculosis with something called the "turtle vaccine". query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C02E0DB143FE633A... Snake oil, in other words.

• Richard Norton said:

  I created a Wikipedia entry for him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Franz_Friedmann

Patients & nurses "Sea Breeze Jr." (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Harry Angstrom said:

  one of a series of Sea Breeze pictures. Funded by Rockefeller.

• aware health said:

  According to a contemporary pediatrics textbook I have, infant mortality in NYC tenements was >10% in the summer time, and 80% of that was due to diarrheal illnesses. That is presumably what prompted this charity.
