Scope and Contents

From the Collection: This small collection of Hugh M. Kinghorn's papers on tuberculosis includes holograph and typescript writings and speeches, translations of articles, and some examination procedural items from the Trudeau Sanitorium.

Series 1 includes Kinghorn's personal recollections of Edward R. Baldwin, Edward Livingston Trudeau, and the Montreal General Hospital and a biographical article on Peter Dettweiler, published in Kinghorn's The Cure of Pulmonary Tuberculosis by Rest and Exercise (1924).

Series 2, the bulk of the collection, includes typed translations, made either by or for Hugh M. Kinghorn, of German articles, many of them originally published in the third edition of Ludolph Brauer's Handbuch der Tuberkulose (1923). Several of these articles were written by Hans Much, Georg Schroder, and N. Ph. Tendeloo.

One folder of sample examination forms, procedures, and other printed material from the Trudeau Sanitorium is in Series 3.
