Mountain Air - April 1928

Mountain Air - April 1928

Publications

Complete edition of Mountain Air dated April 1928-Volume 4, Number 6.  

Sanatorium publications, such as Eastern Oklahoma Tuberculosis Sanatorium's monthly magazine titled Mountain Air, included prescriptive articles by doctors, creative writing by patients, funny stories and cartoons, and reports on sanatorium social life.

Mountain Air provided moral support to those who were restricted to bed and helped make sanatorium life pleasant, knowing that every patient's goal was to return home as soon as possible. The term, "chasing cure", was used to describe sufficient bedrest, following instructions, and biding your time until the doctor approved your medical discharge.

The back cover of this edition of Mountain Air features the cartoon character, "Charlie the Chaser", in his second magazine appearance (see page 12) drawn by Miss Theo Hickman who also drew the magazine's cover.
