ITAMIN D has been so successful in preventing- rickets during in­
fan cy th at th ere has been little emphasis on continuing its use a fte r
the second year.
But now a carefu l histologic study has been m ade which reveals
a startlingly high incidence o f rickets in children 2 to 1 4 years old.
Follis, Jack so n , E lio t, and P a rk * rep ort that postm ortem exam in a­
tion o f 2 3 0 child ren o f this age group showed the total prevalence
o f rickets to be 4 6 .5 % .
R ach itic changes w ere present as late as the fou rteen th year, and
th e incidence was higher am ong children dying fro m acute disease
th an in those dying o f ch ron ic disease.
T h e au thors con clu de, “ W e doubt if slight degrees o f rick ets,
such as we found in m any o f o u r child ren , in terfere with health
an d developm ent, but o u r studies as a whole afford reason to p ro ­
lo n g adm inistration o f vitam in D to the age lim it o f o u r study, the
fo u rteen th year, and especially indicate the necessity to suspect and
to
tak e
the
necessary m easures to guard against rickets in sick

T h e effectiveness o f CA M P PREN A TA L
SU P P O R T S is due to the fact that the
design insures even and accurate fitting
o f the pelvis to the desired degree of
firmness. Such a foundation about the
pelvis provides fo r prime assistance in
holding the uterus in better position thus
a id in g in c o n se rv in g th e ab d om in al
muscles and fascia, protecting the re­
laxed pelvic joints and insuring ample
support of the lumbar spine. There is
no constriction o f the body at any point.
Obstetricians have noted that the pos­
tural changes during pregnancy are due
to the compensatory backward shift of
the center of gravity caused by the fo r­
ward pull o f the gravid uterus. Camp
Prenatal Supports aid in reducing this
forward traction and assist the mother
in m aintaining better balance.

Perhaps you are in clin ed to plan on the
time to retire bein g governed by the am ount
of money you have accum ulated. M oney
is absolutely necessary and you should p ref­
erably have a guaranteed m onthly annuity
of ample am ount, rem em bering that values
fluctuate — and fin an cial dem ands may
occur when least expected. E nough money
to be able to con tin ue living at your present
standard of com fori is very desirable but
not essential.
Of first im portance should be a careful
personal inventory of your physical and
mental health now and in the foreseeable
future. T h e doctor should be able to make
a fairly accurate estim ate and appraisal of
his own health and in doing so should
keep in mind "to your own .self be tru e.”
So far it won't be too d ifficu lt to put down
your findings on paper bul from here on
the problem becomes com plicated. W hen
you retire will you and your wife be happy
and satisfied with the new way of living—
and it will be a very new way. W ill this
pattern of your owm choosing com pensate
you for the loss of daily service to your
patients and for their paym ents to you of
trust and gratitude w hich are not measured
by fees?
Do you have enough m ental and physical
ability to replace your professional activ i­
ties with other interests which can give you
a continuing and satisfying stim ulus for
living?
O
Are you one of that sm all group of doc­
tors who have cultivated ab ilities or avoca­
tions apart from their professional develop­
ment?
Such interests are very d ifficu lt to ac­
quire on short notice for they requ ire years
of effort and growth if they are to replace
your professional living habits in any ade­

WANTED — MORE STUDENT
NURSES
Most physicians are painlully aware of
the current natio nal nursing shortage.
Everyone is agree that ‘'something should
be done about it,” but it occurs to few prac­
ticing physicians that they can individually
contribute to the ultimate solution of the
problem.
With the end of the war and of the fed­
erally subsidized cadet nurse and student
recruitment program some decrease in n u m ­
bers of young women entering training was
perhaps to be expected, despite a c on tin u ­
ation of recruiting efforts through ind i­
vidual schools, local, regional and national
organizations. T h e wartime appeal of a
three-year course in nursing, with its hard
work, study, discipline and ultimate career
in an essential, honorable and satisfying
field suffered in the transiiion.
All physicians can assist materially in
student recruitment by urging young wom­
en of their acquaintance seriously to con­
sider entering nu rsing as a career, and by
going out of their way to interpret nursing
lo parents, high school teachers and voca­
tional counsellors. Now is none too soon
for high school seniors to be considering
nursing as a possibility for the next begin­
ning classes in 1947.
One hears much of erroneous impressions
rampant among otherwise well-informed
individuals which m ilitate against the i n ­
terest of well qualified young high school
graduates in seriously considering nursing
as a career. For example, in the depths
C o u n ty
11
M e d ic a l S o c ie ty
of the depression, just as in most fields,
there was an oversupply of nurses. 1 hat
situation and the p o s s i b i l i t y of its recur­
rence causes some to ach’ise against nursing.
At that lime college graduates ran ele­
vators, bin we have been unaware of such
a transitory condition deterring young
people from seeking a college education in
increasing numbers. Meanwhile the fields
of worthwhile opportunity for nurses have
greaLly expanded.
N ursing is and lias been a career of hard
work. It has through the years been ele­
vated far above lhe status of a glorified
menial or domestic worker with which some
still compare il. ft exposes young women
to much that is unpleasant and perhaps too
frequ ently lets them see hum an nature at its
worst. .So do numerous other lines oi e n ­
deavor, including the practice of medicine,
but we have yel lo learn of this [actor be­

EXPERIENCE:
Over 400(1 cases have
been treated and invaluable knowledge has
been gained in technique, experience, and the
use of adju vant methods. Every mem ber of
our staff, doctors to technicians, is a specialist
and has achieved this through years of e x ­
perience and many months of training.

RESEARCH a
T h e r e s e a r c h staff has
found that the presence of varying physical,
environm ent and psychiatric abnorm alities in
many patients necessitates adjuvant methods.
O ur Research Program constitutes an im port­
ant part in achieving pe rm anent abstinence,
for only through research are past and future
improvements possible.

The function of Amigen and Protolysate

of protein when protein cannot be eaten
or digested, or in addition to protein
when the protein intake is insufficient.

they prevent wastage of protein, restore

protein.

M arg ery,
whose
life and
B U L L E T IN
oj the
P ie rce
death have spared the lives of millions of
diabetics in all p a n s of the world and will
continue to do so for many, many years. I n
1921 Dr. B a n tin g wished to prove his theory
as to the causes and control of diabetes.
He chanced upon Margery, who was a little
female mongrel that had already been
picked up from the streets of T o r o n t o as a
homeless animal and was condemned to
death by the T o r o n t o authorities. Dr. B a n ­
ting could nol test his theory regarding dia­
betes on human beings, for that would
mean a sacrifice of hum an lives: so he se­
lected Margery as his helper in his research.
He skillfully removed the pancreas of M ar­
gery. thus making her a com plete diabetic.
Margery suffered no pain and suffered only
a little temporary discomfort for a few days,
until treatment was started. Dr. B an tin g
obtained lhe pancreas from animals at the
abbatoir and extracted therefrom the vital
substance now called insulin. Margery was
injected with insulin, and a complete relief
w

of her symptoms of diabetes resulted.
It has been said that at no lime would
Dr. B anting leave the laboratory at the end
of the day without firsL m akin g sure that
Margery's comfort had been properly a t­
tended lo. T h e result was that a marked
devotion developed bet wen Margery and
her medical chief. She was kept alive and
well for a period of 7(> days, and was pain­
lessly put to her death in order that it
might be determined whether the use of
insulin had anv deleterious or harm ful ef­
fect upon the other organs of the body.
At the time Margery was sacrificed for the
benefit of mankind. Dr. B an tin g actually
cried.
Margery's life and death was one
of the greatest events in m a n ’s conquest
of disease, and resulted in the discovery of
insulin, which has saved the lives of m il­
lions since.

discovery of insulin, held in T o r o n t o , the

PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING
Following W orld W a r I, a group of civic
minded citizens of the city of T a c o m a con­
ceived the idea of the organization of a
Visiting Nurse .Service. 'This became what
is now known as L h e T acoma P ub lic H ealth
C o u n ty M e d ic a l S o c ie ty
Nursing Association, aucl is now a Red
F eath er Service of the Com m unity Chest.
In 1940 the ad ministration of llie organ­
ization was transferred to L h e D irector of
H ealih of the City of T a c o m a so that
j o i n L l y pu blic health nursing has develop­
ed a serv ice vital lo the health of the ciiy.
T h e aim anil obje ctive of this service has
remained the same, that of aiding in the
coiurol and prevention of disease and the
care of the sick in the H O M E .
W ith the advance in the knowledge of
medical science, the public health nurse
has broadened her role as an interpreter
ol the doctor's recommendations in such
fields as tuberculosis, orthopedics, pedi­
atrics and obstetrics.
T o d a y the City Health Departm ent, D i­
vision of Nursing, has eleven public health
nurses carrying on a generalized serv ice in
a prescribed district.
Besides the educational visit the nurse
may. under orders Irom the phvsician give
bedside tare. T h i s care is not limited to

The P r e s id e n ts P a g e
OUR O W N MEDICAL SO CIETY
The ind ividu al d octor of m e d icin e is still a h ig h ly re sp e cte d m an in h is co m ­
munity. He is entru sted with m an y of the intim ate secre ts of h is patients, b e in g
frequently co n su lted on all m an n er of d elicate su b je c ts p ertain in g to their m oral
as w ell as their p h y sic a l w ell-b ein g . His re sp o n sib ility is refle cte d in the e th ical
force of the com m u nity h e serv e s.
T hose of us w ho h av e p ractice d m e d icin e for a long tim e in this com m u nity
are particularly c o n scio u s of the loss of su ch fine m en as Dr. Jan es and Dr.
M cN erthney. It is not our lo ss in their te ch n ical ability that w e fe e l so d eep ly ,
for w e h av e m an y m en w ho ca n re p la ce that part of them . Their m oral fo rce in
the com m unity, their art in the p ractice of m e d icin e w ill b e m ost difficult to
replace. The m ed ical sch o o ls of the cou n try are p roviding m ore ad v an cem en t
technically e v e ry y e a r and m en are con tin u ally join in g us and p ro v in g their
ability. S o m e of them h a v e y e t to learn that their patients are not ju st so m u ch
abnormal p h y sio lo g y that req u ire diet, p ills or an alteration in their anatom ies.
W e are con tin u ally rem in d in g the p u b lic that our callin g is an art rather than
a technical craft. Just so long as w e striv e to k e e p it an art will our patients b e lie v e
in us.
The N ational M ed ical S o c ie ty to w h ich w e b e lo n g is not reg ard ed w ith a n y
fervent con fid en ce. T h e s e patients of ours do not s e e how a great national org an i­
zation can p o ssib ly reflect the v iew s of their p erso n al p h y sician . A co n sid e ra b le
amount of this distrust stem s from a b a s ic paternalistic g o v ern m en t w h ich w ould
take over and rem o v e all further n e c e ss ity of the individual to strive v o lu ntarily
to reach old age. T h e g o v ern m en t m ay take ov er all the tech n ical ability of a craft
of m edicine, but in so d o in g that other in gred ien t— art— will su rely die, and with
it will go all the m oral fo rce the d octor rep resen ts.
W e are b le s s e d w ith a group of p h y sic ia n s in P ie rce C ou nty w ho are plainspoken, w ell-m ean in g m en, w ho do not h av e to disiort facts to g et a h e arin g for
sober truth. W e liv e and p ractice m e d icin e to geth er with a m inim um of friction
between us and ap p aren tly reg ard e a ch others' opinion h igh ly . T h e p u b lic see m s
to sen se this in our free and e a s y con su ltatio n s w e h av e with e a ch other. W e
rarely m ake the n ew s b e c a u s e w e are not in the habit of feed in g su p erlativ es and
excitem ent to transfer a sim p le narrative into a m elodram a; n e v e rth e le ss, w e do
influence local p u b lic op inion b y our ow n integrity in Ihe p ractice of m ed icin e.
I b elie v e w e cou ld m ak e for a g reater force in (he com m u nity b y b u ild in g a
stronger P ierce C ou nty M ed ical S o cie ty . T h e local M ed ical S o c ie ty d o es not
share in that distrust that the p u b lic h a s for a far-flung national group. H e fe e ls
that the local group re p rese n ts him p e rso n a lly in a large w ay. T h e doctors cou ld
more w holeh earted ly support their lo cal M ed ical S o cie ty than th e y do at the
present tim e. T h e y should m o re totally take an activ e interest in all it d o es and
represents; and I am not so su re but that a totally different p u b lic relation s p ro­
gram should b e put in fo rce— som eth in g that is p o sitiv e in character, y e t sim p le
and truthful in its p resen tatio n of facts to the p u b lic. O ur p u b lic relatio n s, on a
local level, is e n tire ly n e g le cted , w h ile our patients are b o m b ard ed from all
quarters b y national prop agand a, pro and con , until th ey are u tterly con fu sed .
The on ly w ay w e ca n stem the tide of distrust in us, as a far-flung n ational
group, is to b uild up a greater trust in w hat w e are in e a ch com m u nity, b y
sticking to good , sou nd m e d ical p rin cip le s and k e e p in g our id ealism , e v e n in a
world that w ants to throw all su ch th in g s o v erb o ard for an ev er-grow ing g o v e rn ­
mental paternalism .

The c o v e r on our B ulletin d ep icts the M ountain and P ierce C ou nty in an
im posingly c lo s e relation ship . It is no w o n d er the n ativ es around C o m m e n ce ­

spiring on e, honorin g a British adm iral w ho had n e v e r s e e n the n o b le p eak. The
M ountain from the north sid e re v e a ls a le ss e r p eak on its eastern slop e w hich
retains the n am e Little Tahom a, w ithout o b je ctio n . From the south, Mt. R ainier
seem s to b e an en tirely different v olcan o , with th ree distinct p eak s re v e a le d on
the p erim eter of its co n e . T h e y are a part of the ev er-ch an g in g p anoram a one
sees on traveling around the M ountain.
The great pile of accu m u lated k n o w led g e em bo d ied in M ed icin e is like
the M ountain. T h e interpretation of certain facts is altered b y a c h a n g e in p er­
spective. Not in freq u en tly som eth in g n ew and better e v o lv e s as a resu lt of
a side trip to som e le ss e r exp lo red g la cia l field. T h e evolution in the treatm ent
of diabetes m ellitu s c a m e about prim arily through the in flu en ce of a few m en
who w ere c o n sid ere d rad ical in their view p oint. T heir co n clu sio n s w ere not
entirely adopted, but the in flu en ce of that n ew approach w as so p ersisten t that
today the am ount of carb o h y d rate in the d iab etic diet is alm ost u n b e lie v a b le
w hen v iew ed from the A lle n era. S u ch p ro g re ss in m ed icin e is not n e c e ss a rily
confined to large c lin ics or g rou p s with com p licated laboratory facilities at
their disposal. Dr. F. R. S ch em m of G reat Falls, M ontana, is a sm all town
doctor w h o se cu rio sity and ab ility to approach a su b je c t from an e n tire ly n ew
view point led him to unearth a n u m ber of facts that had long b e e n know n, but
som ehow b uried in the arch iv es. A s a result h e ev olv e d a n ew and practical
treatment for e d e m a w h ich is u n iv e rsally a cce p te d as a great im provem en t
over the older m ethods.
M ed icin e is an y th in g but a static state of affairs. M ost of us try to break
away for a few w e e k s of post-graduate study e ach year. M any forget the
opportunity the lo cal m ed ical so c ie ty offers or cou ld offer b y their m ore w h o le ­
hearted support. A few m em b ers are sim ply alle rg ic to m ed ical so cie ty m eetin gs
in general, but b y and larg e the m ajority w ho do not attend m e rely stay aw ay
from force of habit.
The Program C om m ittee h as b e e n serio u sly co n sid erin g the sco p e of su b ­
jects that should b e p resen ted . O b v io u sly the interest should b e on the g e n era l
medical practioner, but su ch su b je c ts should h a v e ram ifications of interest to the
specialist in the v ariou s field s. B e sid e s the m ore form al presen tatio n s there should
be an intersp ersion of short clin ical reports or thum b-nail sk e tch e s of interestin g
cases. E very m an in the S o c ie ty h as at so m e tim e or other se e n an unusual and
interesting c a se that his co n freres w ould like to h ear about. T h e se c a s e reports
are alw ays attend ed with a great d eal of interest. S o m e doctors re b e l w h en asked
to write a form al paper, but th e y w ill en th u siastically con tribu te to a sym p osiu m
or a round table d iscu ssio n . A ll the aforem en tio n ed h av e a d efinite p la ce in a
well-rounded program .
It w ould b e a p e a cefu l and provident w orld if m an did h is w ork as w ell
as nature has. T h e p all of p e ssim ism w h ich p erm eates so m u ch of our thinking
need not enshrou d us if w e but take the tim e to read and h ear those things that
add to our faith in m en. The w ill and w illin g n e ss to w ork with e ach other cou ld

Not lo n g ago o n e of m y d octor friend s rem arked that h e had no tim e to b e

ch an g es taking p la ce and con tem p lated for group m ed ical care. W e should get
the opinions from so m e of our friend s and n e ig h b o rs and w h e n p o ssib le should

we m ay m ake.
In the national p ictu re are the W a g n e r and the Taft b ills and the Hill-Burton

will hav e m ore p ro b lem s to face.
A nother potent in flu e n ce w e should not igno re is the B lu e C ross p lan for
prepaid hospitalization. Intelligent co n cep tion , a g g re ssiv e salesm an sh ip , and
millions of d esirin g p eo p le, is the su cce ssfu l com bination that h as built up this
'multi-million m em b er program . C om in g clo se r to h o m e w e h av e our W a s h in g ­

The m ost activ e in flu e n ce in lo cal m ed ical p ractice has b e e n our P ierce

It b eg an and con tin u ed p rim arily to e n a b le our doctors to m eet the prepaid

M edical b u re au s are not the entire an sw er b y an y m ean s, and w hile the

relieve the intractable pain of inoperable
carcinoma. Dr. Jones reported that at
Western State Hospital, o ut of thirteen
cases done, nine showed phen o m enal re­
sults. one poor result, and three showed
no change.
Tacoma General Hospital regrets to
lose an outstanding m em ber of its staff. O n
Octobcr 1, Dr. W e ld o n Pascoe will retire
l'rom his very active position as one of
Tacoma's leading surgeons.
Dr. Pascoe received his degree of D octor
of Medicinc from the University of M ic h ­
igan Medical School and did post-graduate
work in Vienna. For almost forty years Dr.
Pascoe has been on the staff of our hospital.
During that time, he has taken an active
part in the work of the Medical Advisory
Board, and has served on various staff
committees.
We at the hospital are sorry to lose our
esteemed friend, and should like to convey
to him our best wishes for many pleasant
years ahead.
Among the ncwcomers to T a c o m a G e n ­
eral is Dr. f. T . R obson, a neurologist and
neurosurgeon. Dr. R o b s o n received his B a c ­
calaureate degrees both in Science and Arts
from the University of W ashington. I n 1942
he received his medical degree from the
University of Oregon Medical School. He
interned at St. Vincent's Hospital in P o r t ­
land for a year.
Having chosen to specialize in Neurology
and Neurosurgery, the doctor spent the next
four years at the Mayo Clinic and at the
University of M innesota, where he earned
a Master of Science degree in Neurology
and Psychiatry.
We are proud to welcome to our city
Dr. and Mrs. R o b so n and their three
children.
■Several changes have recently taken place
at Tacoma General. Because more space is
needed for the Record Lib rary, Mrs. Myers
will move her d epartm ent to what is now
the dining room for non-professional
workers. T h e i r d in in g room will then be
the old classroom, form erly known as the
'Assembly R o o m .” Miss Glynn, the D ire c ­
tor of Nurses, and her assistants will move
to the present R eco rd Library. Mr. Moore,
Purchasing Agent, will occupy the office
now used by Miss Glynn.
Friends of Mrs. Edw in J a n e s will be
sorry to learn that she is confin ed to the
Tacoma General Hospital. She received a
fractured hip in an u n fo rtu n a te happ en in g
at the Tobey J o n e s home.

A short course in therapeutics to be held
at the University of Oregon Medical
School will be attractin g several of our in­
ternists to M arq u a m Hill. A m ong those
p lanning to attend the session are Doctors
Huff, Maddison, Quevli and Steele.
Mrs. Degner. wife of our interne, has
found that it pavs to keep tuned to K M O .
She was the lucky recipient of forty-seven
dollars recently given to her by the gen­
erous Mity Mike.
E ach m onth Madigan General Hospital is
sending to T a c o m a General six or eight
doctors who have recently completed their
internships. Here they receive a thirty-day
course in instruction and practice in anes­
thesia under the direction ol our Anes­
thesiologist, Dr. Bonica.
T h e A lu m n ae Association of Tacoma
General Hospital held its first fall meeting
on September 10 with Miss Louise Daniels
presiding. Plans were discussed lor the
year’s activities. A social hour followed
the business meeting.
W i t h students coming from as far as
Wisconsin, Colorado and N orth Dakota, a
class of thirty-six began their studies as stu­
dent nurses on September 15th. T h e tradi­
tional P a ja m a Party was held to welcome
the members of the class of September, 1950.
Miss I.ura Black, Nursing Arts Instructor,
has gone to Chicago to be present al the
convocation of the House of Delegates of
the A merican Nurses’ Association. T h e pur­
pose of the m eeting is to consider the struc­
ture study of the six national nursing or­
ganizations and to plan the unification of
the different societies.
Miss N orm a W oodruff, surgical clinical
instructor, has gone to Alaska for a month's
vacation. She left for Anchorage on ihe
B aranof, and will return to T a c o m a by
plane. Also a passenger on the B aran o l was
Miss Susan Flechlin, un til recently head
nurse in Central Supply. Miss Felchlin plans
to spend the winter an Anchorage.
O n Septem ber 8 the first school in T a­
com a for cerebral palsy patients was opened
in the old educational d epartm ent of the
T a c o m a General Hospital. Enrolled in
the school at present are sixteen elementary
grade pupils, and three in the ju n io r high
school.
T h e school is financed with funds from
School District N u m ber T e n , and from the
State. T h e local school district has supplied
a small amount of equipm ent. Parents and
friends work in g with the Pierce County

Chapter of I he W ashington Spastic Ch il­
dren's Society have provided some of the
nccessary things.
As yet there is no means of transportation
for the pupils, so lhe parents have been
taking turns in bringin g the child ren to
school. A group of industrial workers is
considering the purchase of a bus Lo insure
adequate transportation for the pupils.
With the spastic child much individual
attention and instruction are necessary. For
two of the pupils who have no ability lo
speak, typewriters have been provided. In
addition to regular classroom work, a
speech therapist works with each child for
at least twenty minutes daily. It is hoped
that soon a physiotherapist can be em ­
ployed who will be able to spend some time
each day with each child.
Lunches will be served bv the school
personnel as an important ad ju nct to the
therapy. Lhe ability to learn to teed him ­
self is important to the cerebral palsy pat­
ient. both as a means of self-help and as an
aid in his social adjustment.
Working in close cooperation with the
school is the Occ upational T h e ra p y D epart­
ment, sponsored by the l a c o m a Junior
League, Work and play are planned for
each child so that both coarse and fine
motions will be learned. Among the first
things done in the O ccu pational T herapy
Department are gail-irainiiig, games such
as shutlle-board and ring-toss. shoveling
sand, sewing, and linger painting. More dif­
ficult work is added as muscle control is
improved.
A lew minutes spent in the school talk­
ing with the teachers and waLching the
eagerness with which the children work are
enough to convince us that the establish­
ing of this school lor cerebral palsy patienLs
is indeed a worthwhile undertaking.
Greater efficiency in the han dling of
patients' charts is being o btain ed bv the
filming ol those records. T o elate, about
76,500 chans, con tain in g about 397,600
sheets have been filmed. T h e e a r l i e s L c h a r t s
are dated September I, 1915. At this time
the charts will be I'ilmed up to and i n ­
cluding the year 1938.
The filmed charts are stored on receiving
spools, one to a box. On the box are listed
the beginning dale and number, and the
ending date and num ber ol the charts on
each spool. T he se are filmed in numerical
order, making them immediately available.
The viewbox is used for film reading. T h e
tiny image is received and magnified back to

Dear Lewis:
I intended writing you from some more
soulful spot than this outpost of pleasure
and passion, but here I am in Monte-Carlo.
It might take the hard edge off to tell vou
that yesterday I stood with bowed head
before ihe graves ol Shelley and Keats in
Lhe little ceincLery near the pyramid of
Cesious in R o m e and murmured a litLle
Catholic prayer lor their souls, having no
flowers. In Florence and Stratford-on-Avon
f thought of you, but being a tourist (what
a horrib le thing to be) is laborious and
night came on with my thoughts and
emotions anti feeling of wonder leaving me
a little weary for even a passing word.
ft all began on my 74th birthday last
March when I received from my daughters,
Isabel in Paris and Charlotte in Berlin, a
return passage on the Queen Elizabeth to

pleasant voyage, la n d in g at S o u t h a m p t o n
on July 7. At W a t e r l o o Statio n Isabel came

days, after O x fo rd and S tratfo rd and many
of the great and glo rious cathedrals, and
W arw ick and K e n ilw o rth Castles. Isabel
took me to the ballet at the G ran d O pera
and to the Follies B ergcre. 'The old book

books and pictures I peered at with my in ­
sa tia ble curiosity.
A lte r five days in Paris I went up to
B erlin and got a joyous welcome from
C h arlotte . I spent a week in that once great
and proud city, now h u m b le d and almost
destroyed. C h a rlo tte came with me to Paris,
Isabel jo ined its and we set out on our
Italian jo u r n e y by way of L o u s an n e , M ila n

In R o m e we hail an aud ience with the

The
Superintendent's
Office,
which
supervises p rim ing production at head ­
quarters, reports that the paper shortage
existing for some lime has presented one
of the biggest problems in getting out the
directory. Because of the shortage of com ­
positors in our printing dep artment, com­
position work on the directorv will p ro b ­
ably have to be done outside of the A. M. A.
plant. Printing, however, barring unforseen problems, may be done on the A. M.
A. presses.

Orders for the new directory are n o L

as soon as plans arc completed a letter,
prospectus and card asking for directory in ­
formation and advance orders will be sent

Incidentally, the A, M. A. is presently
using 310 tons of paper a m onth for T h e

Oregon Elects Woman
At their recent state medical meeting,
Oregon, for the first time in its 73-year
history, elected a woman as President of
the State Medical Association. T h i s honor
came to Dr. Leslie S. Kent, a graduate of
University of Nebraska Medical School in
1917. Dr. K ent has practiced in Eugene
since 1923 specializing in Obstetrics, in
which field she has gained a high degree
of state-wide confidence among her fellow
practitioners.
Oregon doctors are to be commended
for this unusual appreciation of ability.

It
Can
Happen
Here
est w e f o r g e t —
we w ho are of the
j vitamin D era— severe rickets is not
yet eradicated, and moderate and mild
rickets are still prevalent. Here is a
white child, supposedly well fed, if
E x a m p le o f s e v e r e rick ets in a su n n y clim e.
judged by weight alone, a farm child
apparently living out of doors a good
deal. This boy was reared in a state
having a latitude between 37° and 42°, where the average amount of fall and winter
sunshine is equal to that in the m ajor portion of the United States. And vet such stigmata
of rickecs as genu varum and the quadratic head are plain evidence that rickets
does occur under these conditions.
X
How much more likely, then, that rickets will develop among city-bred children
who live under a smokepall for a large part of each year. True, vitamin D is more or
less routinely prescribed nowadays for infants. But is the antiricketic routinely
administered in the home? Does the child refuse it? Is it given in some unstandardized
form, purchased from a false sense of economy because the physician did not specify
the kind?
A uniformly potent source of vitamin D such as Oleum Percomorphum, admin­
istered regularly in proper dosage, can do more than protect against the gross
visible deformities of rickets. It may prevent hidden but nonetheless serious malforma­
tions of the chest and the pelvis and will aid in promoting good dentition. Because
the dosage is measured in drop.r, Oleum Percomorphum is well taken and well
tolerated by infants and growing children.

Members of our staff have been continuously engaged in the
research, development and ad ministration of this therapy for over
eleven years. T h e s e years of experience have proven conclusively dial
effectiveness of this method of treatment is in the perfeciion of tech­
nique. O u r experience also has proven to us that each patient must
be individually studied and treated in order to obtain effective
resuhs. Consequently, in order to give the individual and personal­
ized care found so essential to each patient, we have purposely
limited our bed capacity.
W ide variance in character, personality traits and physical con­
dition of paLients make specific time limitations in which treatment
can be accomplished impossible. T h e m inim u m time requirement
is from seven to nine days. In a certain percentage o l cases, return
visits to the hospital for further treatment are deemed essential for
perm anent results. In such instances no additional charge is made.
A psychological and alcoholic education through trained lay staff
members is of vital importance. Also, in many instances, introduc­
tion into group therapy, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, is recom ­
mended and can be arranged by staff members. A program of
re habilitation is constantly carried on.
No psychiatric treatment is attempted. Should psychiatric e x a m ­
inations be indicated, you may have your choice o l physicians.
All routine laboratory work, such as daily urinalysis, blood count,
etc., is done in our laboratory. For extensive laboratory studies we
use Lhe facifities of the T a c o m a Medicaf Laboratories.
It is our wish to cooperate with the family physician d uring treat­
ment and to assist h im with any follow-up work he considers neces­
sary to insure contin ued sobriety.

SHOULD TOLERANCE BE OUR UNDOING?
W e are co n tin u ally exto llin g to le ran ce as a virtue to su p e rse d e our com m on sen se .
The benefactors of this su b lim e gift seld om find the b e n e ficia ry grateful. Rather, the
recipient co n v erts h im self to the op inion that h is ow n id eas are superior and that G od
has given him the right to inherit the earth. Instead of our to leran ce standing forth as a
shining b e a co n to b e u se d as a gu id e in our hu m an relations, a great m an y individual
rights h av e b e e n tre sp a sse d b e c a u s e of it.
W hether the nation, a group, or the individual is co n cern ed , the toleration of d estru c­
tive forces o n ly d ilu tes our efforts for p ro g ress until a co m p lete neutralization of all
rights is the en d result. It is a softening up p ro c e ss that e v e ry dictator re co g n ize s and
uses as a tool for h is o w n propagand a.
History reco rd s th e p a s sa g e of m an y nations into o b liv ion through a slow ly exp an d ­
ing tolerance. W h e n the flow er of G re e k intellectu alism g a v e w ay to the illiterate
rabble in the ru le of that g reat nation its dow nfall w as sealed . T h e great thinkers of our
more m odern era h a v e n e v e r b e e n a b le to re p le n ish th e m se lv e s at the sam e rate as
the educated m orons of our te ch n ica l sy stem h av e b e e n a b le to do. T h e few real states­
men that are left c a n h ard ly stand up to the rab b le-ro u sers that h av e infiltrated into our
whole eco n o m ic system .
W hen d ise a se attacks a sp ecialized tissu e of the b o d y that part of it w hich is
destroyed is rarely a b le to re p la ce itself. B ein g a h ig h ly sele c tiv e typ e of cell, its rep ro­
ductive function is o n ly seco n d ary , so it is re p la ce d b y a c h e a p no n -sp ecialized co n ­
nective tissue the o n ly p u rp ose of w h ich is to rep rod u ce rap id ly and fill in the s p a ce s
left by the d ead c e lls of the sp ecialized tissue. T h e resu lt is a crip p led b o d y eco n o m y
and if the d ise a se p ro g re sse s far en o u g h ev en tu al death results.
W hy should w e in d u lg e in a fo rb earan ce that p la ce s us on d an gerou s ground and
leaves room for the d estru ctiv e p ro c e ss e s of corruption? In hum an relation ship s w e
should be tolerant to the d e g re e that w e rid o u rse lv e s of bigotry. T h e a c ce p ta n c e of an
easy tolerance takes aw ay a n y c h a lle n g e w e m ay h a v e to m eet.
A m erica did not re a ch its p resen t g re atn e ss through the a c ce p ta n c e of an e a sy toler­
ance. Our forefathers w e re fan atically relig io u s and w ould not ab ro g ate their rights to
other groups w ho p o s se s se d an op p o site p h ilo so p h y of life. T h e y had learn ed the hard
way and they had not the slig h test hesitation in d ealin g h arsh ly with th ose w ho infringed
these rights.
"O n ce burned tw ice s h y " d o es not see m to apply to our m od ern thinking; w e are
continually b e in g "b u rn e d " again b y the sam e m ethods that h av e b e e n too repetitiou s
in history to reco u n t h ere. Instead of prom oting freed om b y standing our ground on
those principles w e kn ow to b e right, w e are con tin u ally re-exam in in g o u rse lv e s and
wondering if our forefathers cou ld not b e w rong. W e let a lot of shallow thinking p seu d o
scientists bring forth old th eo ries w h ich w ere tried b efo re and p rov ed io b e failures,
to be tried again in the light of a bright n ew w orld w h e re their s u c c e s s will b e ju st as
dismal again. Instead of prom oting freed om w e ollow m utations to c re e p in and d ev elo p
which are resistant and d estro y the v e ry thing w e h a v e strived to p re se rv e . S u ch a
tolerance is foolhardy.
Teddy R o o sev elt o n c e said that the w a y to p re se rv e p e a c e is to talk softly but p ack
a big stick. That is ju st as true in the w orld of today as it w as in h is tim e. N ow our w orld
diplomacy is ap p aren tly founded on to le ran ce of ihe fo rb earan ce typ e. The greatest
danger in the w orld today is not in com m u nism itself, but in our lack of a g g re ssiv e action
to enforce w hat w e o u rse lv e s b e lie v e h e re at hom e.
The great m ajority of doctors d e not realize w hat the ad ven t of socialized m ed icin e
would m ean to A m erica. If that step is o n c e acco m p lish ed , the rest of the step s in the
complete socialization of the co u n try w ill b e com p arativ ely e a sy . It should not b e our
concern alone, but that of e v e ry citizen of this cou n try w ho b e lie v e s in the right of the
individual to o p p o se su ch actio n b y h is gov ern m en t.
Yes, toleran ce it a w ond erful thing if it is tem p ered w ith ju d g m en t and kept w ithin
limits. Perhaps it w ould b e better if w e ad opted the m ach in ist's definition: to leran ce
is that fraction of an in ch c le a ra n ce that is n e c e s s a r y to allow the m ov in g parts of an
engine to o p erate sm o o th ly; too m u ch to le ra n ce m ak es the m ach in e w o b b le, too little
makes it bind.

LO CA L PROBLEMS
T h ere are th ree lo cal situations of in terest to a n u m b er of our doctors
w hich w e w ould lik e to m ention. N one are of sufficient m om ent to w arrant
any so c ie ty actio n but o n e of them m ay b e su ch at a future tim e. Each' cou ld
com e u n d er the g e n era l h ead in g of ad vertising, a p h a se of m ed ical eth ics
most o p en to critical criticism .
The first item co n ce rn s th o se doctors w ho go east for a few w e e k s and on
their return insert n e w sp ap e r ad vertising, stating th ey h av e returned from
post-graduate stud y and are now av ailab le. T h ose d octors w ho sp en d sev eral
months in post-grad uate w ork righ tly feel that a token period of stud y is not
sufficient to ju stify su ch a notice. T h e y ho ld it is unfair to tho se m en w ho
spend an ad eq u ate am ount of time for p ro fession al im prov em en t and righ tly
siate that v isitin g a few c lin ic s — seld om better than are av ailab le e v e ry w eek
right h e re at h o m e— d o es not con stitute post-graduate study.
O n the other h an d e v e ry e n co u rag em en t should b e g iv e n to p rofessional
im provem ent b y out of tow n stu d y re g a rd le ss of length of tim e sp en t in so
doing. It follow s the sam e re aso n in g as the gy m n asiu m instructor w ho said
he didn't ca re w hat sort of e x e rc ise a d octor took ju st so h e e x e rcise d .
The s eco n d item w h ich m ay b e con sid ere d q u estio n ab le ad vertisin g co n ­
cerns leav in g the n am e of form er office o ccu p an ts on the outer office door for a
period of y e a rs. W h e n a d octor d ies, retires or m o v es aw ay, it should b e e n ­
tirely proper to k e e p h is nam e on the door for let us sa y o n e y ear. That should

them to learn their d octor had g o n e. But d octors' nam es left on the door for
a num ber of y e a rs for the p u rp o se of b rin g in g into that office the form er d o c­
tors' past or potential p atients is d efin ately q u estio n ab le. T h e re is nothing
serious in the p ractice but o n e ca n sa y it is a little reach in g .
T h e third p ro b lem c o n ce rn s the u se of the term clin ic. A ccu rate ly sp eak ­
ing a clin ic m ean s a s e ssio n of teach in g m ed icin e or su rg ery in a hospital,
usually with patients as su b je c ts. At least teach in g is the e s s e n c e of a clin ic
although w e m ay h a v e gotten aw ay from that interpretation. To the laity the
term clin ic to w h ich w e refer m ean s an a b o v e a v e ra g e group of p h y sicia n s w h o se

ceive com p eten t d ia g n o se s and efficien t treatm ent. W e m ust re m em b e r that
the pu blic is pro n e to b e lie v e that in so m e m an ner the infallibility of the M ayo
Clinic is refle cte d to a d e g re e on all so ca lle d clin ics, and thus the w ord clin ic
is a potent m e an s to attract patients. W e h aste n to add that there is not a word
of criticism of a n y group if it can offer the qu ality of ca re to w hich the patient
is entitled. A lso w e do not q u e stio n in the least w h e n two or m ore m en, w ho
limit their w ork to the sam e sp ecialty , jo in fo rces with sufficient p e rso n n e l and
equipm ent to h an d le that sp e cia lty in an efficien t m anner.
W e do q u estio n the m ed ical e th ics w h e n two or m o se m en, d oing a
general p ractice, sh are a com m o n w aitin g room , h elp , etc., and call their joint
occu p ancy a clin ic. S u c h a situation is con fu sin g to the p u b lic w ho e x p e c t a

PRENATAL
SUPPORTS
are
EFFECTIVE
Th e effectiveness of C A M P P R E N A T A L
SU P P O R T S is due to the fact that the
design insures even and accurate fitting
of the pelvis to the desired degree of
firmness. Such a foundation about the
pelvis provides fo r prime assistance in
holding the uterus in better position thus
a id in g in c o n s e r v in g th e ab d o m in al
muscles and fascia, p rotecting the re­
laxed pelvic joints and insuring ample
support of the lum bar spine. There is
no constriction o f the body at any point.
Obstetricians have noted that the pos­
tural changes during pregnancy are due
to the com pensatory backward shift of
the center of gravity caused by the fo r­
ward pull of the gravid uterus. Camp
Prenatal Supports aid in reducing this
forw ard traction and assist the m other
in m aintaining better balance.

The function of Amigen and Protolysate
is to supply the amino acids essential
for nutrition. Both can be given in place
of protein when protein cannot be eaten
or digested, or in addition to protein
when the protein intake is insufficient.
Administered
in
adequate
amounts,
they prevent wastage of protein, restore
previous losses, or build up new body
protein.

The P r e s id e n ts P a g e
Life Is a Giving
The lasting v alu e of a n y d ay lie s in w hat o n e ca n put into it for others,
not what ca n b e extracted from it for o n e 's self. C o u n tless hum an y e a rs h av e
proved that, althou gh it req u ires a lifetim e of e x p e rie n c e b e fo re individuals
may c o n v in ce th e m se lv e s that this is no surrender, but the c o n q u e st of life
itself. No p o s se s sio n is so v alu ab le as the m em o ry of that w h ich has b e e n
done, and w orthily done, for others.
The m ounting p re ssu re s of life, the turns of a m ech an istic age, the v e ry
speed with w h ich the m o d ern d ay c o m e s with its m yriad distractions, all serv e
to obscu re the truer tim eless v alu es. M ost p e o p le do not se e k p ow er co n scio u sly .
Very few w ish w ealth for its ow n sak e. But com petition and d rive in q u ick e n e d
tempos pile o n the p re ssu re s w h ich turn ind ividuals into g rasp in g and g ro te sq u e
human sh ap es. Little b y little the m ean s are forgotten and the end a lo n e is
sought with rabid in siste n ce . In a n y su ch stru g gle h ap p in ess g o e s out the
window; strife and ca re take its p lace.
Too m an y of our g o o d citizenry are g o in g their ow n blissfu l w ay obliv iou s
of others. This hu m an d isco rd cre a te s h av o c in the h om e relatio n ship s w h ich
seriously affect ch ild re n and m ak e for ju v e n ile d elin q u en cy . It is a p ro b lem
with w hich the ch u rch e s and our ed u cation al institutions h av e b e e n u n a b le to
cope. It b e co m e s a com m u nity p rob lem that taxes the in gen u ity of all the
social a g e n cie s and is freq u en tly m et with in the doctor-patient relationship.
A long felt w ant in T aco m a and P ie rce C ou nty for som e w ell integrated
program to h an d le p ro b le m s of ch ild g u id an ce is w ell reco gn ized . T h e re are
men and w om en w ith e n o u g h v ision to reco g n ize it and m ake a start through
the organization of the T acom a and P ie rce C ou nty M ental H y g ien e A sso ciation .
In the forefront of this com m u nity serv ice, M rs. T re a cy H. D uerfeldt is ab ly
directing the organization of a C hild G u id an ce C linic with a w ell integrated
staff com prising a full tim e p sych iatrist, a p sy ch o lo g ist and p sy ch iatric social
workers. P h y sician s, te a ch e rs and paren ts w ill all b e coordinated in the pro­
gram to the e n d that the p ro b lem s of ch ild b eh av ior ca n b e studied o b je c tiv e ly
and without p re ju d ic e in the h o p e of finding the c a u s e s w hich p ro d u ce un­
healthy traits, u n a cc e p ta b le b e h av io r or in ability to co p e with social and
scholastic exp ectatio n s.
Dr. A ustin L. Porterfield of the d ep artm ent of so c io lo g y of T exas C hristian
University h a s ju st co m p le te d a su rv e y of 2,049 a lle g ed d elin q u en ts in Fort
Worth, T exas, and of 337 c o lle g e stud en ts in three sch o o ls in north ern T exas.
Revealing is the fact that 100 p e rce n t of the m en and w o m en in c o lle g e adm itted
acts in their p re c o lle g e life serio u s en o u g h to get le ss fortunate b o y s and girls
into the courts, but in stead of g ettin g into court the form er w ent to co lle g e .
"Moreover, the c o lle g e student d e lin q u e n cie s though p ro b ab ly not as fre­
quently ind ulged w ere as seriou s as th o se of ch ild ren b rou ght into cou rt." Por­
terfield co n clu d es that "ch ild re n w ho g e t into court are frien d less. T h e y co m e
from fam ilies w ho h av e few friend s in the com m u nity. T h e y get so cial treat­
ment but the m e d icin e is w o rse than the d ise a se . If th e y gradu ate at all, it is
into the p en iten tiary ."
"If w e are g o in g to so lv e th e p ro b lem w e m ust h a v e p le n ty of p e o p le to
come to the aid of both you th in trou ble and their paren ts. C om m u nity p lan n in g
coupled with ch u rch re sp o n sib ility m u st p rov id e the n e c e s s a ry con stru ctiv e
leadership."
This is w h ere our M ental H y g ie n e Program c o m e s into p lay . It is a great
challenge and sh o u ld le n d itself to m ore than m e re lip s e rv ic e from the doctors.

ALLENMORE ADDING NINE
HOLES TO COURSE
A llenm ore g olf course w ill open another
nine holes to play early next summer. A c­
cording to Sam Allen, the new nine was
originally planned as the back nine of the
Cedar street layout and w ill be so used
on its com pletion. T h e new construction
w ill give Tacom a an outstanding 27-hole
course w hich has already w on the favor
of duffers and low-hand icappers alike.
W h ile it is not too d ifficu lt for the pay
as you go players, the many open tourna­
m ents staged in the past years have shown
that the course is a real challenge even to
the professionals.

The function of Amigen and Protolysate
is to supply the amino acids essential
for nutrition. Both can be given in place
of proteinwhen protein cannot be eaten
or digested, or in addition to protein
when the protein intake is insufficient.
Administered
in
adequate
amounts,
they prevent wastage of protein, restore
previous losses, or build up new body
protein.
