BRADLEY, MARY,
AND BRADLEY, RUTH,
Letters and photographs concerning Edward Livingston Trudeau
and the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium,
1893-1915
Biographical
Mary Goodall Bradley and Ruth Goodall Bradley, daughters of Thomas
Bradley of Philadelphia, were patients of Edward Livingston
Trudeau at the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium in Saranac Lake,
N.Y., in the early 1890s. In 1901 or 1902, Mary Bradley married
Erroll B. Hay of Wayne, Pennsylvania. Ruth Bradley married
Wyle T. Wilson. No other information concerning the Bradley
sisters is available.
Scope and contents
This small collection of materials, 1893-1915, preserved by Mary
and Ruth Bradley, documents the life of Edward Livingston Trudeau,
physician and tuberculosis researcher, as well as the treatment
of tuberculosis patients at Trudeau's Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium
in Saranac Lake, N.Y., in the 1890s.
Series 1 contains two autographed letters, 1898 and circa 1902,
from Edward Livingston Trudeau to Mary Bradley. Series 2 is
an undated manuscript prescription by Trudeau for throat spray.
Series 3 contains newsclippings and other printed materials;
most of these items are obituary notices of Edward Livingston
Trudeau who died in 1915.
The bulk of the Bradley Collection is contained in Series 4,
Photographs. There are ten images of Edward Livingston Trudeau,
1893-1895, and two of his wife, Charlotte B. Trudeau, 1893 and
undated, as well as five photographs of patients partaking of
the outdoor cure for tuberculosis, 1893-1895. This cure was
promoted by Trudeau at the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium. The
series also contains an array of sixteen images of buildings
at the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium and the Saranac Lake area,
1893-1897.
Provenance
The letters and photographs in the Bradley Collection were assembled
by Mary and Ruth Bradley, during and after their stay as patients
at Saranac Lake. The collection was donated to the College
of Physicians of Philadelphia on 5 October 1973 by Margaret
H. Whiteside, niece of the Bradley sisters.
The collection was processed and catalogued in 1990.
