Excerpt from National Tuberculosis Association: Transaction of the Sixteenth Annual Meeting St. Louis, Mo;, April 22, 23, and 24, 1920 The following is a preliminary report on the history of the National Tuberculosis Association, comprising its 15 years' activity from its first annual meeting in 1905 to that held April 22 to 24, 1920, at St. Louis, Mo. In order to appreciate fully the 15 years of activity Of our Association it was necessary to study the history of the anti-tuberculosis movement in the United States not only since but also prior to the formation of the organization. The first systematic attempt to study the causes and prevention Of tuberculosis in the United States was made by Dr Henry Ingersoll Bowditch between the years of 1850 and 1860. He was then busily engaged in correspondence with medical men throughout New England to determine, if possible, factors which favored the production of pulmonary diseases. Dr. Bowditch was particularly anxious to determine the relation of soil moisture to the prevalence of pulmonary tuber cu 0518. The first authentic record of the use of the Open air treatment for tuberculosis in the United States dates back to about 1808, when Nathaniel Bowditch, the celebrated mathematician, father Of Dr. Henry Ingersoll Bowditch, and grand father of Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditch of Boston, treated himself by that then unique method. Professor Nathaniel Bowditch, having had a hemorrhage with evident signs Of tuberculosis at the age of 35, succeeded in arresting the disease by a prolonged journey with horse and buggy, living and sleeping in the open air.
