T.B.: Playing The Lone Game Consumption is a book written by Thomas Crawford Galbreath and published in 1915. The book is a memoir of Galbreath's experience with tuberculosis, commonly known as T.B., which he contracted in his early twenties. The book details Galbreath's struggle with the disease, including his time in sanatoriums, his attempts at various treatments, and his eventual recovery. Galbreath's writing is both personal and informative, providing insight into the physical and emotional toll that tuberculosis took on him and others afflicted with the disease. He also discusses the societal stigma surrounding tuberculosis at the time and the impact it had on those suffering from the disease. Overall, T.B.: Playing The Lone Game Consumption is a firsthand account of a disease that was once a major public health crisis and provides a unique perspective on the history of medicine and public health in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
