EDWARD LIVINGSTON, an American physician, born in New York City, in 1848. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 1871. For a short time he practiced in New York, and then, having contracted tuberculosis, he went to Saranac Lake. He received such benefit from the air and climate that he resolved that others should benefit, and, with the aid of others, opened the first American institution to attempt the open-air method of treatment for the disease. In 1894 he founded the Saranac Laboratory for the Study of Tuberculosis. His treatment was remarkably effective and won worldwide recognition. He developed it on a large scale and it continued to grow after his death. He wrote much on the subject of tuberculosis and, in 1916, the year following his death, his autobiography was published.
