Description

By the dawn of the 19th century, consumption which is now known as tuberculosis had killed one in seven people. Throughout much of the 1800s, tuberculosis patients looked for a cure in sanatoriums where it was believed that resting in a healthy environment would result in a cure. But for many it wasn’t, and they never left.

For most patients, time spent in a sanatorium resulted in death in a time that no cure existed for this contagious disease. Sometimes, that death came from the disease, but many times - it was due to the treatment they received.
