Back in 1909 – the high, dry air of Colorado Springs beckoned the sick and weary. Called the “City of Sunshine” – the Modern Woodmen of America opened a sanatorium for tuberculosis patients. One of the most famous Doctors was Charles F. Gardiner. This is his story.


FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

OF OUR WESTERN TREASURES

Folks, our country has long been fascinated by the affliction and cure of others. Not the least, is the attention given over the years to tuberculosis patients. Seems that Doctor Charles F. Gardiner, was a sincere believer in a new way to treat the sufferers of this problem. Frankly, it was called

THE FRESH AIR CURE

This is the story of his ingenious attempts to find help for the patients through a sanitorium he established with the Modern Woodmen of America about 11 miles southwest of Colorado Springs, Colorado. There were many a western story published – the common ones offered every day but the rarer ones about the pioneer medical treatments of the old west like this one are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive

I hope you appreciate the effort.


Folks, sooner or later - Genealogists are going to realize that their family kinfolks are laying on some dealer's dusty shelves. If I can contribute to finding one little name or photo of that long lost ancestor you have been waiting to find, it’s worth all the time I spend.

While others clip ads from magazines, I save history. It’s a shame that our past is being lost. It’s as simple as that.

  What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is in vibrant color.

As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
