 Renamed the Trudeau Institute, the laboratory continues to study infectious diseases.One of Trudeau's early patients was author Robert Louis Stevenson and in gratitude, Stevenson presented Trudeau with a complete set of his works, each one dedicated with a different verse by Stevenson (the books were later lost in a fire at Saranac).Trudeau's fame helped establish Saranac Lake as a center for the treatment of tuberculosis.
