Advertisement for Parke, Davis & Co. pharmaceutical company featuring an illustration of Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau in a boxing match. Caption underneath the image reads, "An epochal uppercut in the war against tuberculosis: Told at 29 that he had tuberculosis, and had only a few short months to live, Dr. Edward L. Trudeau -- at 34 -- accepted the challenge of a local Adirondack boxing champion and gave him a sound beating. Dramatic proof that he had learned how to arrest this dread disease! Twenty-two years later, in 1899, he helped found the National Tuberculosis Association, whose annual preventative campaign is now in progress. Dr. Trudeau lived to the age of 69."
