This is such an awesome find! They did several treatments for TB that nowadays seem barbaric...we think how did they think that would possibly work. But they didn't have anything else. They used to remove ribs also thinking it would give the lung more room to expand. Thanks Mr Motts for the history on the machine. You always give us as much info as you can on the wonderful things you discover.

The layout of the TB hospitals was always so cool - big airy places that opened onto porches. To think that an antibiotic replaced all of this.
