Consumption Curable, by Henry Congreve 53880 [Subtitle: Observations on the treatment of Pulmonary Diseases] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/3/8/8/53880 ] [Files: 53880-0.txt; 53880-h.htm] For those wishing to know: This 1839 pamphlet is mainly an advert for the writer's own quack cure (which naturally he praises to the heights and gives no specific details of). However, he also protests against then-current medical opinion that consumption was incurable. It must have been truly terrifying to contact T.B. in those days when it wasn't understood and no cure was known. Within 30 years the Brompton Consumption Hospital would open just a few miles from where this author lived and practised. All the best, David, Cold England
