SARANAC LAKE, N.Y. (AP) - The U.S. Postal Service is honoring Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau - a pioneer in tuberculosis research - with a postage stamp.

Trudeau went to the Adirondacks in the late 1800s suffering from tuberculosis and was eventually cured with lots of rest, good food and mountain air.

He dedicated himself to the study of TB, founding a sanitarium in Saranac Lake and the Trudeau laboratory. His mission was later reorganized into the Trudeau Institute, which still researches diseases of the lung today.

The 76-cent first-class stamp that will bear Trudeau's image is the eleventh in the Distinguished American series, honoring influential people in the arts and sciences.
