Loomis tells the story of the fight against tuberculosis, believed responsible for a billion deaths worldwide between 1700 and 1900. Dr. Alfred L. Loomis, who was diagnosed with the disease himself in 1867, was an innovative thinker and pioneer of the climatological treatment of the disease in a sanitarium setting. He helped one of his patients, Dr. E. L. Trudeau, to open the first American sanitarium in the Adirondacks in 1883, and realizing the need for a larger facility nearer New York City, purchased land and raised the money to operate such a facility near Liberty in Sullivan County. Opened in 1896, it continued to treat patients through 1942.

reviewed Loomis: The Man, the Sanitarium, and the Search for the Cure on January 06, 2021 Loomis: The Man, the Sanitarium, and the Search for the Cure
The research for this very compelling book was phenomenal. The author really dissected the myth of the man, Dr. Spock. In some ways, I was gratified to find Spock DID give good tips. At the same time it is worrying to find how very broken the Spock home was. Ben Spock was himself from a very troubled background with a distant father and a seemingly mad mother. The pattern recurred for Spock when his wife had to be institutionalized in the late 1950's with severe mental problems, schizophrenia complicated by alcoholism as well as bi-polarism. Spock's carefully constructed facade of a happy home was a cardboard cut-out as he spent months and years away from his family, always under the guise of helping others. But in the offing he lost his family.
