RESUMEN
Before the discovery of antibiotics as a cure for tuberculosis in the 1940s, open-air therapy was the standard treatment for the disease. This article describes how families and health care institutions used tents, shacks, balconies, and verandas to expose loved ones and patients to the cold, pure air that was believed to help them fight tubercle bacillus.
