Climatic cure, the prevention or improvement of physical and mental conditions through relocation to a specific place or climate, was a popular medical belief system in America during the 19th and 20th centuries. Drawing on three historical case studies of curative places, this dissertation considers what an attunement to space and place offers to rhetoricians of health and medicine. Examining the controversy about who would care for the Alaskan territory's insane population, Chapter One considers how beliefs about the curative capacity of place can function as topoi in public debates over issues of health and medicine. Chapter Two offers a methodological approach to the rhetorical study of historical places. Using Saranac Lake, New York, a prominent health resort for people with tuberculosis, as a case study, this chapter excavates layers of social relations to show how restrictions around visitor's class of disease and socioeconomic class shaped the curative meaning of the village. Finally, Chapter Three considers how place and space shape boundary work tactics through a case study of the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, which sought to reframe its groundbreaking hydrotherapeutic techniques within the boundaries of medical science by distancing itself from beliefs about Warm Springs, Georgia's allegedly curative waters. Together, these chapters offer a variety of approaches for grappling with the meaning and function of space and place in historical, rhetorical analyses of health and medicine.
