Hi, I am interested in old 'cures' for tuberculosis.
I have been reading in 'the white plague' by thomas dormandy that there was an Austrian firm that sold bottled mountain air as a possible cure for TB.
This soudns really amazing to me, and therefore I wanted to know more about this (even hoped to obtain such a bottle). However, thus far I haven't found any additional information.
Does anybody know:
1. if this is true (firm was called Goebel, from Gmunden, Austria, the product was called 'Luft from Ischl').
2. Where to find more information on this.
3. where to find (a picture of) such a mountain air bottle.
Thanks very much for your help.
