"In 1871 At the age of 24 he was stricken by the deadly lung disease called tuberculosis. Six of his siblings had already died of the disease. His doctor told him he had, maybe, six months to live. Mr.Schmidt,in desparation, asked his doctor what he could do to prolong his life. The doctor said "you might go out to the high desert in California. There you may be able to dry out your lungs, somewhat, because of the low humidity and dehyderation. Although this has never been proven to happen.""
