Tuberculosis Thursday: Dogs taking the cure

Did you know that dogs could come take the cure at Trudeau Sanatorium? Just kidding - history hasn't gone to the dogs, but we couldn't resist this pup on a cure porch for an April Fools' Tuberculosis Thursday!

This photograph of a very good visitor at Phoenix Cottage was taken by Roger Parish while curing at Trudeau Sanatorium in the late 1930s. Roger kept an extensive album showing the Sanatorium grounds, his cottage, fellow patients, and the fun they had while taking the cure. His son Tom recently donated the album to us and we're excited to catalog the images and share more of them with you! Stay tuned!
