Boyd's Sanatorium Dripping Springs Trail, Las Cruces, NM 88011, United States

 

 

 

In North America, tuberculosis was the leading cause of death in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was long thought a high, dry climate, along with fresh air and healthy foods, could cure the disease.

 

It started life some time in the 1870s at the hand of Colonel Eugene Van Patten. He came out to Dripping Springs at the invitation of a family member, his uncle John Butterfield. The resort was originally called 'Van Patten's Mountain Camp' and housed such celebrities as Pancho Villa.

 

 It is said there were horrific if not despicable experimental treatments worked on the victims of tuberculosis.

By the time Boyd acquired the land from Van Patten his wife had contracted tuberculosis and in her honor he converted Van Patten's Mountain Camp' into Boyd's Sanitarium'.

 

 New Mexico was especially favored because of its relatively stable climate and thousands of health-seekers traveled here during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

 

 They were said to have been turned loose into the mountains to suffer and die should there be someone more desirable to take the bed.

The Spanish have a word for it: “duende.” Literally it means “elf” or “imp” or “troll,” but in a more mystical sense, it alludes to a “mysterious power” and a “spirit of the earth,” said 20th century Spanish poet and dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca.

There is a great deal of activity around the property and anyone who sleeps near it reports the most hellish nightmares of torture.

 This resort, established in the late nineteenth century, boasted of sixteen guest rooms as well as a large dining room and even a concert hall. Dr. Boyd purchased the resort in 1917 and moved from San Francisco with his tubercular wife. He in turn sold it to a Las Cruces physician, Dr. T.C. Sexton and it stayed open until approximately 1925.
