Robert Louis Stevenson, the invalid, saw a lot of doctors in his time. They were scattered about the globe. Everywhere the ailing writer went, he had to check in with medical practitioners. But in retrospect, few of them stood out as worthy of special biographical inclusion, the eminent Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau being one of them. R.L. Stevenson did not write an article or notes about the Saranac TB setup the way he did with Menton and Davos. Instead, he put out his name, which was a whopping endorsement at the time, to freely advertise to the world the presence and affordability of a new fountain of “Juventus,” this magic mountain tucked in the wilds of upstate New York. A letter appeared in the New York Evening Post edition of March 8, 1888, two days before the “Great Blizzard of ’88,” stopped the press.
