The Rest Cure was a medical treatment combining various physical and mental treatments as well as a surprising diet. When Elizabeth continued to suffer side effects from a bout with typhoid, she underwent a couple rest cures. Out of those experiences came a novel, A Dark Lantern: A Story with a Prologue, that would be made into a film in 1920 starring Alice Brady and James Crane.
