Tuberculosis occurs when the victim contracts it from another person with the disease, since it is very contagious. At the time the disease becomes embedded in the lung(s), the victim has the disease. There was no treatment for it in the early days before antibiotics were developed; you might remember that Doc Halliday, from Griffin, Georgia, was a dentist who was forced to stop his practice because of his coughing into the faces of his patients.
Holliday went west, where he was a gunfighter who associated with Wyatt Earp, Bat Masterson and the Earp brothers, and other famous characters. He went west hoping to cure his TB, but never was able to. He died of TB the Hotel Glenwood, a sanatorium near the hot springs of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. He hoped to take advantage of the reputed curative power of the waters, but the sulfurous fumes from the spring may have done his lungs more harm than good. As he lay dying, Holliday allegedly asked for a drink of whiskey. Amused, he looked at his bootless feet as he died---no one ever thought that he would die in bed, with his boots off. His last words were, "Damn, this is funny." John Henry "Doc" Holliday died November 8, 1887. He was 36.
