Excerpt from Minnesota as a Home for InvalidsAn actor who was about to personate Othello, remained an unusual time in the dressing-room. The audience becoming impatient and clamorous, necessitated a visit of the manager to the room of the tardy tragedian, whom he found, to his great surprise, blacking himself from head to foot."What does this mean?" said the manager. "It means," replied the actor, "that I cannot enter into the spirit of this piece unless I am black all over."Thus would we account for our introductory chapters. We could not write of a climate for consumptives unless we first considered the disease, its nature, and peculiarities.We trust that our readers will follow us through the introductory chapters, as the following chapters presuppose a knowledge of consumption as it is now understood.Thus far but little has been written of Minnesota from a professional standpoint.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
