-T1his, the first issue of Volumne25 of the Log Book, indicates thatthe official publication of yourAlma Mvater. is celebrating itsSilver Anniversary. For any in-stitution, organization or in-dividual to serve, for a period ofa quarter of a century, is a recordthat commands much respect.Your Log Book, as the OfficialOrgan of this institution, has beenserving its graduates for the pastquarter of a century but in this

r' ser Anniversary Year, we trustt. t the Log Book will serve agreater need than it has hereto-f're.

A Silver Anniversary is a joyfuloccasion. As a Silver Anniversarycommands much recognition, I per-sonally feel that the graduates ofthis great institution, likewise de-serve much credit for the record thatthey have made during the period ofthis LOG BOOK'S history. A SilverAnniversary not only means joy, italso means contributions and gifts.

How appropriate it would be foreach Alumnus of this institutionto make a significant Silver Giftduring the Silver AnniversaryYear of the Log Book, to the Col-lege's Expansion Program.

Your Expansion Program ismoving along nicely but not asrapidly as it should. There isonly one reason. The lack offunds. We are in great need ofa Clinical Building at this institu-tion at the present time. We havethe land for the erection of theClinical Building and if all gradu-ates and friends of this school,during ..this .-Silver -AnniversaryYear, will make their contributionto the school before the end ofthe year, we could have thisClinical Building which is im-perative for the training of ourstudents.

When I think of OsteopathicPhysicians, I not only like to thinkof Physicians Plus, but of Phy-sicians who are dynamic leadersin their respective communities.A dynamic leader is an individualwith initiative; one who has cer-tain plans and directs the activi-ties and thinking of those withwhom he associates. There aremany types of dynamic leaders.It is conceivable that some maynot possess the many qualities

Bachmran, Presidentof the C'ass of '12, who laterserved for many years on thefaculty as Professor of Techniqueand Osteopathic Therapeutics,carried on a very large practicein the city of Des Moines formore than 25 years. His son,Dr. R. B. Bachman, who alsoserved on the college faculty ashead of the Department of Ob-stetrics and who is now affiliatedwith the K.C.O.S. and Hospital,in Kirksville, graduated fromStill College in 1916. More re-cently, a daughter, Dr. IreneBachman, now living in SantaCruz, N. Mex., also graduatedfrom the college. These twoDoctors were for some time inpractice with their father in DesMoines. Dr. M. E. Bachman hasbeen referred to by his classmatesand collegues as one of the finestgentlemen and scholars to evergraduate from this institution. Hepassed away Nov. 25, 1939, follow-ing a short illness.

Dr. Josephine C. Armstrong,Vice-President of the graduatingclass, went to Omaha in June,1912, to take over a practice forthe summer. In September shewent to Grand Island, Nebr., andreturned to Omaha in Jan., 1914.She is now practicing in theBrandeis Theatre Bldg. in thatcity.

Bio-lihemistry, Pharmacologyand Endocrinology are all highlyimportant and relatively newfields of medicine which loomlarge in importance in the dailyroutine of a general practitionerand it is indeed fitting that tiHenew daily discoveries in theserespective fields be brought to theattention of the busy practicingphysician.

Still College Alumni may feeljustly proud in having our Collegeso ably represented on the OhioOsteopathic Association's WinterRefresher program.

IssueTwenty-five Years of

Retrospect

By G. L. ELLIOTT

In this, the first issue of Vol-ume 25 of the Log Book we mightlook back over its several hun-dred issues to see what changeshave taken place during the pasttwenty-five years. After con-siderable delving through thedusty vault in search of the firstissues of our publication, it isinteresting to, see what changesin form and make-up have actual-ly occurred.

The Editorial page of the firstissue of Vol. 1 carries this in-formation: Dr. S. L. Taylor wastitled Director General; M. D.Cramer, Business Manager; Dr.J. H. Styles, Pub-icity Director,and C. L. Ballinger, Editor. Thefaculty and students both con-tributed largely to the Log Bookand we find E. T. Kirk, E. C.Herzog, E. M. Schaeffer, OliveMatthews, Dora, Deitz and L. H.Kuchera writing in many of theearliest issues.

We see occasional reference insome of the early issues to"Angus." We wonder how manyof the old-timers among ouralumni readers remember him.And do any of you recall CoachSutton and the Still College foot-ball team of 25 years ago: Bice,Myers, Swezey, McNish, Thomas,Walker, Nicholas, Brown, Cart-wright, Murphy, Graham andSheets?

Former Editors

In the quarter century sincethe origin of the Log Book,numerous editors and directorshave had a hand in guiding thecopy' to the press each month.The records show that followingthe first editor, C. L. Ballinger,are such names as, Jack Hansel,Don Baylor, L. J. IGrinnell, R. B.Kale, L. .A. Utterback, R. K.Homan, J. R. Forbes and F. J.McAllister. During more recentyears, we find Drs. Virg. Halla-day, Ar'ahur D. Becker, HughClark, H. W. Merrill, and ourpresent acting Editor, 'Dr. H. B.Hale.

Dean's Letter

This issue of the Log Book is socrammed with interesting read-ing matter, that this letter mustbe necessarily brief. It is de-sirable to announce that the nextsemester is just around the cor-ner, and that it will begin onMarch 3.

At the present writing thereare 23 applications for admissionas Freshmen for March 3, and itis predicted that the total num-ber will reach thirty before thesemester opens.

Perhaps fully as important andinteresting is the fact that thereare already twenty applicationsfor admission into the Septemberclass which begins September10th.

All alumni, who are interestedin young people who may be eli-gible for the September class, areurged to discuss these matterswith them, to help them arrangetheir affairs, and to explain theimportance of applying for ad-mission as far in advance as pos-sible.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

American OsteopathicSociety of Rheumatology

In order to correlate researchfindings of the osteopathic pro-fession in the prevention, diagno-sis and treatment of arthritis andother rheumatic conditions, phy-sicians throughout the nationgathered recently in Chicago toplan the formation of the Ameri-can Osteopathic Society of Rheu-matology.

It has been long felt thatthrough a closely-knit profes-sional organization, new and moreefficient methods of treatingarthritis and rheumatic diseasescan be more widely disseminatedthroughout the osteopathic pro-fession, thereby benefitting everyvictim of these crippling condi-tion.

Tentative officers of the so-ciety were elected at the meet-ing. They are: Dr. E. C. Andrews,of Ottawa, Illinois, chairman; Dr.E. ,C. jGoblirsch of Little Falls,Minnesota, vice-chairman; Dr.Jaaobine Kruze of Ottawa,Illinois, secretary-treasurer; andDr. N. L. Saimblanet, of Canton,Ohio, program chairman.

Trustees were also elected.They are: Dr. G. A. Pockett ofChicago, Illinois, and Dr. C. E.Morrison of St. Cloud, Minnesota,both named for one year. Dr.E. F. Carlin, of Hempstead, NewYork, and Dr. C. 0. Meyer of DesDes Moines, Iowa, were chosenfor two years.

The society's constitution andby-laws were discussed and ap-proved, providing membership inthe society for all osteopathicphysicians who are members ofthe American Osteopathic Asso-ciation or the state associationaffiliated with the AOA.

The need for such a societywas discussed during the last AOAconvention in New York, and itsformation has been received withenthusiasm throughout the coun-try.

Several interesting papers re-lating to diagnosis and treat-ment of rheumatoid arthritis wereread at the two-day meeting.

Dr. G. A. Pockett of Chicagopointed out the use of "Vita-mins as a Supplement and/orTherapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis."

"Osteopathic Manipulative Care'of Rheumatoid Arthritis was dis-cussed by Dr. E. C. iaoblirsch of


1' ! -'

The Staff is very pleased withthe reception the profession hasgiven the new Diagnostic Clinic.Doctors from Oregon, Illinois,Wyoming, Colorado, Missouri and,of course, Iowa have been send-ing patients in for the diagnosticroutines.

Clinic Procedure

You might be interested inknowing how the routine runs, sohere is a typical case startingfrom registration: Mrs. A. T. sentin by Dr. J. F. F.; history takenand possible working diagnosismade; patient sent to laboratoryfor early routine lab work.History indicates gastro-intestinalseries is necessary, so patient istaken to X-ray and routine is in-stituted; then first clinician takesover.

Next the patient goes to Gyne-cology, E. E. N. & T., Proctology,Abdominal, Cranial and Struc-tural, Heart and Lungs, Urology,

Psychiatry, Foot and Leg,Dermatology, Endocrinology andthen back to the original clinicianfor recheck for specialty labora-tory work as indicated.

On the third day following ad-mission the staff meets at 1 P.M.in the Chief-of-Staff's office, anda running resume and generalevaluation of the case is held. Dis-cusssion as to diagnosis and sug-gested routine of therapy is thendecided upon. After staff con-ference the patient is appraisedof the results or else told thather doctor will give her the com-plete report on her case and takeover from there. A complete casereport from all departments alongwith the impressions and sug-gestions is then typed, and thereferring physician is given thereport and further advice. If thereferring man wishes treatment,such as surgery, to be accomplish-ed at the Hospital, he so instructshis patient, and treatment begins.Records are kept on file for futurereference so that the doctor mayrefer the patient back at any

time for a recheck or for furthertreatment.

Value of Clinic

This department is meetingwith a high degree of successand fills a long felt need in theprofession throughout the en-tire country. Des Moines willbecome the diagnostic center ofOsteopathy. Patients may eitherstay in the hospital at prevailingrates or may stay outside whilegoing through the Clinic. Onlystaff men see the patients, andthe regime is strictly private.

If you have questions, a letterto the Chief-of-Staff or the Busi-ness Manager of the Hospital willbring you all the informationyou desire. Please allow at leastthree days for your patient togo through the Diagnostic Clinic.At present we prefer that patientsbe admitted on Mondays andThursdays, but those wishing toenter at other times will be ac-commodated.

The group looks to him forguidance and throws upon himthe responsibility for its welfare.

The Osteopathic Profession hasbeen known for its dynamic lead-ers in the years past, and to-day we need more of that leader-ship. We need that leader-which will not only contribute tothe welfare of the educational in-stitutions, but we need that lead-ership which will also convey tothe public the educational pro-gram of our colleges; and we needthat leadership which will con-tinue to build in the minds ofthe general public that the Osteo-pathic School of Medicine is thedominant school of therapy.

As we celebrate the Silver An-niversary of our Log $Book, letus rededicate our ideals and ourphilosophy of life not only toservice but to enlarging and ex-panding all of our educational in-stitutions. May this year, 1947,be the most significant of allyears in the history of Osteo-pathic Medicine.

a 25-bed hospital in Sioux City,Ia.

Dr. L. North was Class His-torian.

Dr. L. C. Billings, Class Poet,came from Ohio and is now de-ceased following several years ofpractice.

Dr. Nolen W. Hughes, ClassProphet, is in Fulton, Kentucky.During his college days Dr.Hughes shone in Obstetrics, andit is said that in writing theTennessee State Board examina-tions he obtained 100 per cent inthat subject.

Dr. E. G. Hornbeck, deceased.Dr. T. T. Jones has been in

general practice in Wayne, Nebr.,for many years. During that timehe has also been quite promi-nent in local municipal affairs.

Dr. J. C. Calhoun is practicingin Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Dr. E. 'C. Dymond, now in Jack-son, Minn., was always top stu-dent in the class.

Dr. L. U. Miller died in 1942following many years of success-ful practice in Los Angeles, Cali-fornia.

When I was a boy, I used tovisit at my uncle's farm. Theyhad a big swill barrel near thepigpen, in which they pouredmilk, threw apples, and dumpedbran or middlings (whateverthat was), and then we wouldgo out and pour the mixtureinto the trough. I used to lookat the pigs with their big mouthsand big teeth and the way theyapparently laughed at me. Ittook me several years to learnwhy they were laughing. ThenI realized they were getting allthe vitamins and mineral salts,while the farmers were standingaround with false teeth in theirmouths.-Pennsylvania M. J.

plained "Differential Diagnosis ofRheumatoid Arthritis."

Phases of "Home and/or OfficeManagement of RheumatoidArthritis" was brought out in apaper by Dr. H. L. Blamblenet ofCanton, Ohio.

"X-ray Findings and Therapyin Rheumatoid Arthritis" wasdiscussed by Dr. J. H. Grant ofChicago.

Dr. C. O. Meyer of Des Moines,Iowa, detailed "Laboratory Find-ings, Including Blood Colloids inRheumatoid Arthritis."

"Institutional Management ofRheumatoid Arthritis" was thesubject covered by Dr. E. C.Andrews of Ottawa in his paper.

Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arth-ritis" was explained by Dr. Doug-las D. Waitley of Evanston,I linois.

An invitation to all membersof the osteopathic profession whoare interested in arthritis andother rheumatic conditions tojoin the society in its efforts topromote greater research in thisfield and to help arouse publicinterest in controlling these typesof disease has been extended bythe secretary of the society.

The rookie, asked by the medi-cal officer, "How are your bow-els?" replied that he had notbeen issued any. Trying again,the M. 0. asked, "I mean areyou constipated?" Again therookie, "Naw, I enlisted." Fin-ally in utter desperation, themedical officer said, "Are youcrazy? Don't you know theKing's English?" The rookierang the bell, by replying, "Oh,is he?"-J.

25 Years

Dr. McAllister, after manyyears in Denver has returned tous to assume the responsibilityof Chief-of-Staff of the new StillCollege Clinical Hospital.

In a front-page article of thatbirthday number, we read, "Wehave never attempted to offer tothe profession a periodical filledwith scientific articles. We havefelt all through the years that theestablished -monthly publicationsof the A.O.A. and 'others, amplyfill that need. We have wantedyou to know that Still Collegewas alive and progressing; thatyour college was continuing tomatriculate and graduate studentswho feel like you do, that thosewere the best four years yo'u everspent. Just as some of you willlook back to the good old days,those who are now in school willbe doing the same thing ten yearshence. College days are alwaysthe good old days. The Log Bookhopes that it has kept you incloser touch with the college andhas tried to make you feel thatthe good old days are still withus." That message is just as ap-plicable today as it was fifteen yearsago."

Dr. Robert L. Daitch, Detroit,Michigan, was married to SaraMalin of Des Moines on January1st. Dr. Daitch, a recent graduateof this school, is completing hisinternship at Detroit OsteopathicHospital.

"The first issue was writtenlargely by Dr. John Styles. Itwas started first to be publishedtwice ia month and filled large-ly with jokes and a full pagedisplay advertising the college.C. L. Ballinger edited 19 issuesturning it over to Jack Hanselfor the Nov. 15th issue. Jack keptthe job until July 15, 1924, whenhe dropped out in favor of DonBaylor."

"In December, 1929, the- trustees

decided to make the LOG BOOK a

monthly instead of bi-monthly. The

question came up as in other yearsrelative to expanding it and in-

cluding advertising, etc. We votedagainst it as the majority felt that

it had developed without these fea-tures and should be kept in its same

form. I have always felt that it

was apreciated in its efforts not to

compete with other osteopathic pub-lications."

"It was interesting to workwith the various editors. Allwere brilliant boys and I stillcherish the friendship of theeditors who worked with me for16 years there in the college.

In June, 1935, I took over thewhole responsibility under an as-sumed name, that of E. Harwood.According to my records DonBaylor is the only editor who hasdied. The others are in practiceand doing well."

(Editor's Note: Dr. Halladaywrote the article quoted in thearticle on the LOG BOOK in theJanuary issue).

"The Osteopathic physician-removes the obstruction andlets Nature's remedy-arterialblood-be the doctor."

Dear Sir:

As a former editor of the Log Book, it is a pleasure towrite you this letter and tell you that I am glad the publica-tion has achieved its ripe age and mellow tone.

No former editor can read a product of his former laborswithout a little heart-tug and it is like having a youngstergrow up to find that twenty-five years have been attained.

I wish to congratulate you on the fine publication you areputting out. I haven't missed an edition in many years andI hope to see the time when it will be enlarged and show afifty year span of serving the profession. I know there aremany loyal alumni that look forward to each monthly re-minder of the scholastic days and find many names mentionedthat bring home pleasant memories.

Here's a load of luck and I hope I live to see the 50th anni-versary edition.

F. J. McALLISTER.

Cranial Course to BeAttended by Mem-

bers from Abroad

Evidence of the widespread in-terest in one of the profession'smost recent and outstanding ad-vancement-Cranial Osteopathy-may be realized from the factthat several students from abroadand from foreign countries havealready enrolled in the SixthBiennial post-graduate course inCranial Osteopathy, to be held atthe college March 31st to April26th, 1947.

Dr. Martha Pattie, graduate ofAmerican School of Osteopathy'23, is already on the high season her voyage from Cape Town,South Africa, where she repre-sents the Osteopathic professionas its only practicing physician.

Dr. J. J. Dunning of LondonEngland, graduate of AmericanSchool of Osteopathy '12, who isalso planning to attend theCranial course, is well known tomany members of the professionboth in this country and in Eng-land.

Dr. C. J. Heaslip of Hamilton,Canada, makes up the third of the"foreign" students who are mak-ing the trip to Des Moines for thiscourse.

Cranial Convention

Coinciding with this course willbe the First National Conventionof the Osteopathic Cranial As-sociation, to be held at the HotelKirkwood, in Des Moines, fromFriday through Sunday, April11th to 13th, 1947.

This convention is planned forpost-graduate training and tocomplete the organizational pro-gram originally outlined forestablishing this association on asound footing. In this regard theotllcers have, prepared a con-stitution and by-laws which willbe presented for adoption.

Dr. Richard B. Gordon, programchairman, has announced that inaddition to the highly education-al and specialized program plan-ned, several interesting speakerswil be heard, including Dr. W. G.Sutherland, Honorary Presidentof the O.C.A., and Dr. Thomas F.Schooley of Birmingham, Mich.,who will discuss the movementof the neural axis during therespiratory cycle.

Registrations for the conven-tion should be addressed to theSecretary Treasurer, Dr. E, K.Little, 3829 Troost St., KansasCity, Missouri.

Three Cranial Classes

The Sixth Biennial post-graduate course in Cranial Osteo-pathy. will consist of threeseparate classes:

The Basic Course begins March31st and will run for twelve con-secutive days, including Sunday,April 6th, to be concluded April11th at noon. This arrangement isto permit attendance at theCranial Convention, April 11th to13th.

An Intermediate Course is againbeing offered for those physicianswho may have had previous train-ing but have not attended thebasic course, or those who feelinsufficiently qualified to acceptall of the work offered in theadvanced course. This inter-mediate group meets from Sun-day, April 6th, to Saturday,April 19th.

The Advanced Course is sched-uled for two weeks, from April14th to 26th. This group is beingrestricted to physicians who havepreviously had the basic or basicand intermediate courses. Allthree classes are designed to pro-vide the physician in each cate-gory with the maximum amountof practical material and experi-ence for his office use.

Applications for enrollment inany of these classes should be ad-dressed to Dr. J B. Shumaker,'Dean, Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, 722Sixth Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa.

Dr. Perdue OffersA Suggestion

Dr. Raymond Parker Perdue, ofFlint, Michigan, President of theDes Moines Still- College AlumniAssociation, for that state, hasproposed a most unique plan forthe DMSCOS graduates of thatstate to recontribute to the Osteo-pathic Progress Fund effort whichwill be of the greatest of valueto this institution. His plan isvery simple and is one that willnot place a burden upon any in-dividual. It is merely that eachmember of the Association or eachgraduate of this institution con-tribute fifty cents ($.50) a dayon a six day week basis a year.Dr. Perdue calculates that withthe number of Still graduates whoare practicing in the State ofMichigan that it would be an easymatter for the Association toraise $30,000.00 a year for theCollege.

The Administration of the Col-lege certainly endorses this planas $30,000.00 a year, would cer-tainly be of material benefit tothe expansion of the school. Wecongratulate Dr. Perdue on hisoriginality and his interest in hisAlma Mater and on the en-thusiasm by which he goes aboutcarrying out his proltosed pro-gram.

Midst the sounds of a blowtorch, the smell of hot asphalt,the pungent acrid odor of acetone,here and there a few cuss words,and the over-all smiling counte-nances the hospital is having itsface lifted. In short, new tilingis being laid on floors through-out the hospital.

Improvements

The hallways, chart rooms,operating rooms, delivery andlabor rooms, intern quarters, doc-tors lounge, and utility stationsare being covered at the presentas that is all finances will standat this time. The various roomswill be tiled as fast as funds areavailable (hint to loyal alumni).Everyone is very happy aboutthe appearance of the new tileincluding the maintenance depart-ment who say that it will bemuch easier to keep the floorsshining and clean.

Diagnostic Service

The new Diagnostic Service iscertainly bringing in patientsfrom far and wide. Referringdoctors have been loud in their

Geographical distanceseems to make no difference aspatients are being referred fromas far west as California and eastfrom Boston. This is the onlyDiagnostic Service in this partof the country in which completepsychiatric service is available.

Endocrine consultations is an-other unique feature of this Diag-nostic Service and already severalcases have been presented of ahighly interesting nature.

THE LOG BOOK

On the evening of March the5th, 1947, in the guest room ofthe Community Center at 8th andForest, formal initiation of themembers of the Lambda OmicronGamma was held. Sol Leibelpresided in the administration ofthe rites-and the significance ofthe words "Lambda OmicronGamma" to we who wish to em-brace Osteopathy as our life'swork was elaborated upon. Dr.E. Rachel concluded the cere-mony with an address on "TheObligations of a Professional Fra-ternity to its Alma Mater." Itwas a short but impressive cere-mony and we who were wel-comed from pledges unto brothersin the circle of fraternal affairswere deeply moved by thesolemnity of the occasion.

The meeting was then ad-journed to the Tally Ho Club"when brother broke bread withbrother." The next meeting isscheduled for 3:00 p.m. Sunday,March 16.

-Simon Indianer.

AnBeta chapter met at the house

of Dr. Ruth Paul on Friday eve-ning, March 14th. Our guestspeaker was the versatile Dr.John Woods. His subject wasOsteopathic Principles and Tech-nique with demonstrations onwilling victims. Needless to sayhis talk was very helpful andthoroughly enjoyed. Followinga question period, our hostessserved delicious refreshments.Thanks, Dr. Paul, for your hos-pitality and for the pleasant eve-ning.

At the business meeting thepresent officers were re-electedfor the ensuing term.

Our pledges have had a bit ofbad luck. Myrtle Miller is re-cuperating from an appendectomyand Jo Dilarco is recoveringfrom the flu. We hope to wel-come both girls back to school inthe very near future.

As the February LOGBOOKwent to press the members ofPhi Sigma Gamma were makingextensive plans for the SeniorBanquet. The banquet was heldFebruary 16th in the verypleasant atmosphere of theTropical Room at Johnnie Cri-telli's place on Harding Road.Dr. Robert S. Sedar, Past Archon,

was the guest of Honor and atthe request of Archon W. T. Hulsgave a brief resume of his happyassociations while in attendanceat the College and as a memberof Phi Sigma Gamma.

Highlighting the occasion wasthe announcement by FrederickA. Woll, Ph.D., President of theBoard of Optometry Examinersof the State of New York, whohas been inspecting Still Collegefor the New York State Boardof Regents, that his report in-cluded the recommendation thatthe College be accepted for ap-proval by that body, and thatcopies of the report were beingsent to the A.O.A. and CaliforniaState Department of Educationin time for the Legislatures ofthese States to confirm therecommendation during the pres-ent session.

We were honored with thepresence of President and Mrs.E. F. Peters, Dean and Mrs. J. B.Shumaker, Dr. and Mrs. H. B.Hale, Dr. and Mrs. R. L. McMur-ray, of Still College and Dr. andMrs. 0. Edwin Owen, GrandArchon of Phi Sigma Gammawho complimented the graduatingSeniors and the members of theChapter on the splendid effortsin holding the Fraternity to-gether during the war years andmaintaining the house under themost trying circumstances. Hewas most encouraged at therapidity of the Chapter's growthand the turnout at the banquetdemonstrated that Phi SigmaGamma was to be a potent factorin the Osteopathic Profession.Like all Senior banquets, thisbrought out more clearly theclose bond of the fraternity andsolidarity of brotherhood and thesincerity of the members in theprofession of their choosing.

With the closing of thesemester the Chapter installed atelo-phono record playing systemin the house. Three amplifiers,one in the basement, one in thedining room and another in theliving room furnish recorded mu-sic from a downtown studio on atwenty-four hour basis. This in-stallation lends great impetus tothe regular Saturday nightparties.

National OsteopathicInterfraternity Council

At the meeting of the Ameri-can Osteopathic Association inMilwaukee in 1933, Dr. James A.Oozart and Dr. H. V. Halladaywere so deeply impressed by theconfusion of the registration ofthe various fraternities andsororities that they decided some-thing must be done about it. Anattempt was made hurriedly tocorrelate this work at one deskand the result was so satisfactorythat plans were made for a per-manent organization the follow-ing year at the convention meet-ing at Wichita, Kansas. A formalcall was issued at this conven-tion and officers elected and atemporary schedule was laid outfor the Council.

Since the formation .of theCouncil in 1934 the work of the,organization has increased andadded activities assumed eachyear until its influence is felt bythe listed official and recognizedfraternities and sororities in theosteopathic profession.

Dr. Cozart served for severalyears as presiding officer and has beeninstrumental in moulding the policyof the organization from its first in-ception. Dr. Halladay has been keptin the office of the Executive Secre-tary since the beginning and has beenlargely responsible for the continuedinterest and growth of the Council.

The Council can be creditedwith the concentration of theregistration of all the organiza-tions at a common desk at con-ventions, the maintainance of aninformation office for the bene-fit of all allied organizations, theinstitution of a system of deferredpledging at all recognized collegesof osteopathy, increasing the per-centage of fraternity membershipin the American Osteopathic As-sociation and the raising of thestandards of all associated fra-ternities and sororities.

That the Council is efficientand has proved its worth is shownby the added responsibilities thatseem necessary each year.

Data on New Class

Of the eighteen, one studentis a woman. About one third ofthem are married, and over twothirds of them are war veterans.

The average age of this in-coming group is twenty-fiveyears. They come from manystates and they have attendedtwenty-nine different collegesand universities in obtaining theirpreosteopathic education. Theaverage years of college attend-ance per student is three years,and four students come to uswith college degrees.

College Standards

The young men and womenwho are attending Still are beingexposed to an education whichcannot be excelled in the fieldof Osteopathic Medicine. Thebasic science courses are present-ed by men who are well qualified.The upper division is equallywell presented.

Two outstanding features ofthe school are the Clinic, thesystem of which has been radical-ly revised under Dr. John Woodsand Dr. E. Racher to facilitateteaching-and the clinical clerk-ships of the senior year whichprovide/ hospital experience inthe Des Moines General, Wilden,and Still Clinic Hospitals.

Every effort is being devotedto the promotion of better teach-ing and better teaching falities.

The rapid progress which Still ismaking requires constant effort andlong hours on the part of all, butthe results are worth the effort.Every Alumnus of Still College iscordially requested to return for avisit.

All of us who represent yourFaculty Will be most happy toshow you the old school in anew environment.

New Lab SoonTo Be Ready

The new Biochemistry Labora-tory is nearing completion. Thefurniture arrived last Friday,March 7th, for the Laboratoryand as soon as it is completelyinstalled, the new BiochemistryLaboratory will be in full opera-tion. This is another great im-provement for the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy andSurgery.

The Laboratory is located onthe first floor and is a modernlaboratory in every respect.Needless to say, Dr. Shumakerand his assistants are more thanpleased with the facilities as theywill exist for the teaching ofBiochemistry.

Dr. Keig Resigns

Dr. Eugene R. Keig, who cameto this college last September, toassume the Chairmanship of theDepartment of Obstetrics and

Gynecology, resigned his positioneffective March 1st, this year.Dr. Keig, during his short stayat this institution, has made avery significant contribution tothe Obstetrical Department, andit is with regret that the Boardof Trustees accepted Dr. Keig'sresignation. We sincerely wishDr. Keig happiness and success inhis professional ventures. Dr.Keig is returning to his formerhome in Mason, West Virginia.

Arthritis

Arthritis is not a diseaseof the joints.

So states Dr. E. Ca Andrews,director of the Ottawa ArthritisSanatorium and Diagnostic Clinicof Ottawa, Illinois, in an articlein the March issue of "ArthritisNews."

The arthritis specialist, who' isalso tentative president of theplanned American OsteopathicSociety of Rheumatology, stress-es that contrary to popularthought, a new concept treats

arthritis as a disease of the en-tire body, of which inflammationand pain of the joints are onlysymptoms.

"Progressive arthritis treat-ment, which has been followedwith outstanding success, nor-malizes glandular and dietarydeficiences and correct circula-tory and gastro-intestinal dis-functions," explains Dr. Andrews.

"Too many physicians are stilllooking for a 'foci of infection'in an attempt to successfullytreat arthritis," he stated. "Thereis no such infectious cause ofarthritis."

The cause of arthritis, the spe-cialist points out, lies in imbalanceswithin the functional systems of thebody, and successful treatment hascome about only through correctingthese imbalances.

The AOSR, a national societyof physicians treating arthritis- , Iscampaigning to acquaint theAmerican public with the realfacts behind arthritis, which to-day binds almost, 7,000,000 per-sons in the United States.

Thus it is imperative that wehave a new Clinical Building onthe ground adjacent to the hos-pital, directly in front of theCollege Building.

While it is impossible for thePresident to call upon each graduateof this institution personally andask him to contribute to the O.P.F.Campaign, he does wish that eachgraduate of this institution would feelthe need for their financial support,as well as their moral support inthe Expansion of Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy and Surgery.

We beseech you to make your_contribution, make it significant

in amount, so that in the verynear future, this school will beable to announce the groundbreaking for the Clinical Build-ing. The plans for the new build-ing have been drawn by thearchitect; it will be a three storystructure, providing adequatefacilities for a thorough and com-plete Out-Patient teaching serv-ice.

Arrangements have been madeby the Administration of this in-stitution for Dr. Frank R. Spen-cer, of Columbus, Ohio, to returnto Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, nextSeptember to offer Electro-cardiography.

Dr. Spencer offered the coursehere last October to a capacityclass of fifteen students and thecourse met with such great suc-cess, so many requests have beenmade for repetition of the course,that this course has been sched-uled at this time for the first twoweeks in September.

The course will start on LaborDay, Monday, September 1st, andextend through Saturday, Sep-tember 13th. Doctors who areinterested in this special courseshould communicate with theDean of the college regardingtheir place in the SeptemberClass. We feel certain that theclass will be filled weeks beforethe opening date of the course.

ThePresident of the College, Dr. Edwin F. Peters, the Presidentof the Board of Trustees, Gibson Holiday, and the Presidentof the Alumni Association, Dr. Russel Wright, will grace thegathering.

This will be a big night!the convention now!

Library Enlarged

Revamping of the StillCollege library is justanother step in the advance-ment of this institution. Theneed for expansion has beenevident for several years,but the increase in the litera-ture now being received, thegrowing student body, andthe longer curriculum dic-tated the necessary change.

Approximately fifty per centmore floor space has been addedby removing the wall between theoriginal library and the studentlounge. A larger room on thesame floor has been convertedinto a much better lounge. Inthe new plan the stacks, periodi-cals and pamphlets are in themain reading room, while theoriginal stack room is being con-verted into a research studyroom.

To facilitate the problem offinding (material, the entire list ofvolumes has been re-catalogued.Earlier issues of OsteopathicJournals have been bound andcross-indexed in a master cata-logue. The index to journals onMedicine, Physiology, Phar-macology, Surgery and otherbranches are placed in the stacksaccording to the decimal systemoutlined in the master file ofthe "Index Americus."

Make hotel reservations for

In the stock room awaitingbinding is a complete series ofthe American Medical Journaldating back to 1915. The materialcontained in these papers willprove invaluable to the studentbody. Bundles of duplicate booksand magazines with index in-ventories have been prepared andare to be offered as exchangeitems to the other Colleges.

About fifty current periodicals areon the tables in the reading room.Twenty-two hundred volumes of ma-terial pertinent to the reference workof the college curriculum have al-ready been placed in the stacks ofthe new reading room.

Here is a place where well-wishing alumni or friends maymake a valuable yet simple andinexpensive contribution. The li-brary needs up-to-date referencebooks. The gift of only a singlenew book will be welcome. Asnew books are announced by pub-lishers, it would be easy for anyphysician to see such a notice andif the book interests him, buy it,read it, and send it on to the col-lege. Or he might buy two copies,one for himself and for the li-brary. Or, if he prefers, hemight send a check to the Presi-dent of the College indicating thatit is to be used to buy a certainbook. Or he might want to senda check .marked for use by thelibrary and not specify any par-ticular book.

On March the 31st, the L.O.G.met at the Center on Ninth andForest. Dr. William, Rodgers wasguest speaker. The title of hisaddress was "Cystoscopic Exami-nation in Modern OsteopathicUrology." Although most of theaudience were Freshmen students,the sparkling wit and inimitable-ranner of the speaker broughtthe subject matter well within therange of his listeners.

On Sunday, April 13, Dr. H. P.K. Agersborg, celebrated Em-bryologist, Histologist, Natural-ist, and new addition to StillCollege's expanding teachingstaff, spoke to the L.O.G. Thetitle of his discourse was "Listento the Voice of Nature." Dr.Agersborg's natural, homey philo-sophy and profound faith in thegrowth and expansion of Osteo-pathic principles in the modernhealing art proved a source oftrue inspiration to his listeners.Dr. Agersborg related many ofhis experiences while ChiefBiologist in the State Park Divi-sion of the Park Service in chargeof Wildlife in all the CCC Parksall over America. Dr. Agersborgalso read from his book "NatureLore" (in 5 volumes). Thestaunch belief of this man of let-ters that Osteopathy fills the gapbetween allopathic medicine anda fuller understanding of ad-vancing curative methods, elo-quently brought out the "Phy-sician Plus" goal of modern osteo-pathic teachings.

Plans are in the making for afuture outdoor dance and picnic,and the program committee isworking overtime to make theL.O.G. summer program "biggerthan ever."

THE LOG 1 OK

The President Chats

Today we hear much aboutpsychiatric disorder, mentalhygiene, emotional problemsand maladjustments. TheAmerican Public is becom-ing more aware and moresensitive of the great needfor a balanced emotional life,if they intend to achieve thedesired success in theirchosen profession or voca-tion.

In order to have a healthymind, every individual must haveachieved a satisfactory philosophyof life. The healthy mindmust adopt wholesome attitudestoward life's problems. Notonly must a healthy mind mani-fest an interest in living but itmust secure satisfaction from theprocess of living. Healthy livingis joyous living.

A social order such as we havetoday is complicated with mul-titudinous problems. Every prob-lem is a challenge to a victorioussolution. The sign of the well-adjusted mind is that it recog-nizes its own difficulties quicklyand fearlessly; it is constantlyattempting to make satisfactoryadjustments to every-day prob-lems; the facts of life are metsquarely, and they are mnet with-out resorting to compromises.

Calmness with which one faces thecomplexities of life and the straight-forward manner in which all prob-lems are faced develop an attitudethat has a health preservative and acurative value. The willingness andthe ability to make successful ad-justments to life's problem may besummed up in the statement that"sane conduct is the decisive test ofa sane mind."

The ability for one to act wise-ly and constructively in facinglife's problems is the essence, not

only of mental soundness, butalso of leadership.

Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery realizesthe importance of not only train-ing its students to be true phy-sicians but to have a soundphilosophy of life, which will re-sult in a healthy mind. A healthymind thus directs these stu-dents not only in the problemsthat they are facing today butin the problems that they willface tomorrow when in activepractice.

If the students fail to adjustto the problems that they faceduring their academic days, theywill inherently formulate pat-terns which will be carried overto the years to come. Failure toadjust usually manifests itselfin a feeling of dissatisfaction,in emotional disturbances andmental maladjustments, in frus-trations, in excessive daydream-ing, fears and worries, and veryfrequently in the developmentof an inferiority feeling withvarious defense mechanisms.

We also note that the in-dividual who fails to adjust, is anindividual who is anti-social. Thisindividual, whether in school orin practice, will attempt toevade the issues of life and at-tempt to deceive, not only him-self, but those with whom hecomes in contact, regarding theinternal conflicts that he isexperiencing. These internalconflicts constitute an importantcause for mental disruptions.

Mental virility results from facingopenly and courageously the vicis-situdes of life. Every student in ourschools today should formulate aphilosophy of life, a wholesome at-tude towards life's vital problems,with basic ideals, ambitions and be-liefs. If this formulation of aPhilosophy of Life can be a part ofour program of training doctors, weneed not fear about the end resultsthat will be theirs after they leavethe walls of this institution to pur-

sue the greatest of all professions.

This institution has its Ex-pansion Program, but not onlymust we think of bricks andstones and larger facilities whenwe think of our College of To-morrow. We must realize thatthe greatest asset of any institu-tion is the character and philoso-phy behind this institution.

Dean's Letter

All who have had the op-portunity to experience theplanning of a hospital andits operations in the earlystages, will fully understandthe many problems involved.The selection of staff mem-bers and other personnel, thepurchase of equipment andsupplies, and many otherdetails, are of paramountimportance.

Your Still College Clinic hos-pilal has successfully weatheredthis stage of its life, and has beenfunctioning more smoothly dur-ing each month since its open-ing on September 15, 1946.

One of its few remaining prob-lems, which is a problem com-mon to most Osteopathic hos-pitals, is the maintenance of anadequate staff of interns. TheStill College teaching hospitalsystem (Clinic, Des Moines Gen-eral, Wilden) has vacancies atthe present time.

Each of these hospitals has anexcellent staff and good facilities.We encourage any Doctor ofOsteopathy who may qualify towrite for particulars and to ap-ply for internship. The intern-ship committee serves all hos-pitals of the system.

Correspondence should bedirected to John B. 'Shumaker,Chairman of Internship Com-mittee, in care of the College.

Memorial FundReceived

The Lakewood OsteopathicClinical Group, Lakewood, Ohio,recently sent fifteen dollars as amemorial fund to the late Dr.Reginald H. Singleton. Dr. Single-ton graduated from DMSCOS in1902. The following resolutionaccompanied the gift:

RESOLUTION

On February 13, 1947, Dr.Reginald H. Singleton passedfrom this life. He practicedOsteopathy in Cleveland forforty-four years.

In many respects Dr. Single-ton represented the dignity,the best in ethics and a highlevel of devotion to his be-loved profession.

Therefore, be it Resolvedthat We, Osteopathic Phy-sicians, take courage and re-new our pledge to be loyal toeach other, to be devoted tothe highest ideals of our pro-fession so well cherished bythose who have pioneered forOsteopathy in our State andNation.

BENEFIT DANCE VERY SUCCESSFULAttune with a festive

spirit and atingle with ex-citement and eagerness forthe success of their new un-dertaking, the Des MoinesLadies' Osteopathic Auxil-iary, assisted by the StillCollege Students' Wives'Group, sponsored the firstannual Benefit Dance forStill College Clinical Hos-pital, Thursday night, May1st, at Hyperion Club.

Lively Program

The diversity of activitiesstruck a high note in the eve-ning's entertainment programand did much to spell success forthe Auxiliary's efforts. The de-lightful dance music was furnish-ed by Herbie Craig's Orchestra.Many lent their ears to the For-tune Teller occupying a cozycorner near the ballroom ....The Cake Walk "took the cake"for riotous fun .... The "Chuck-a-Luck" and "Wheel of Chance"games did much to entice the pro-fession and guests into numerousmonetary chances for "sweetcharity." . . .The 25c chancessold on the beautiful Cory CoffeeMaker, raffled off toward the endof ;the evening, was a welcomeasset to the financial report.

The Committee

Mrs. Verne J. Wilson, chair-man of the Ways and MeansCommittee, deftly took charge ofthe affair, with the able assistanceof Mrsw E. F. Leininger, Mrs.E. 0. Sargent and Mrs. R. Woods.Mrs. iGen Peterson, served on thecommittee as a representative ofthe Student Wives' Group.

Money Given to Hospital

The dance netted a total of$636.61. Proceeds of this bene-fit are to be used to provide newfloors in the Utility, Chart, Labor,Delivery, Sterilization and Sur-gery Rooms and the Doctors'Lounge.

Through the untiring efforts ofthe Ways and Means Committee ofthe Auxiliary, a donation of $490.00was presented to the Clinical Hos-pital earlier this season for the pur-pose of flooring the second and thirdfloor corridors of the Hospital.

Looking Ahead

The success of the Benefit hasgiven the Auxiliary added impetusto carry on to higher attainments

Dr. Laycock WillSpeak at SouthDakota Convention

Dr. Byron E. Laycock, popularprofessor from Still College, willattend the South Dakota Osteo-pathic Convention to be held May25 to 28 at Huron, South Dakota.Dr. Laycock has appeared on anumber of convention programsduring the past several months.At this meeting he will speak on"Arthritis," "Osteopathic Prin-ciples,'" "Osteopathic Technique,"and "Osteopathic Diagnosis."

College Visitor

H. C. Friend, D.O., of 1912Brady, Davenport, Iowa, spentSaturday, May 10th, at the col-lege. Dr. Friend is a memberof the Class of January, 1933.

At the present time Dr. Friendis anxiously looking for an X-Rayman who is interested in osteo-pathic interpretation of low-backproblems. The equipment whichwill be used is entirely new andincludes a 200 milli unit withrotating anode and motor-driventilt. There are also facilities forcomplete fluoroscopy.

in their effort to lend financialassistance to this worthy institu-tion. Imbued with this insatiabledesire, already the members aregazing toward 1948, when StillCollege celebrates its 50th Anni-versary. It is their wish that co-operation toward success offuture events pertinent to theCollege's Golden AnniversaryCelebration will eclipse all pastactivities.

Gifts MadeTo D.M.S.C.O.S.

Dr. Edwin F. Peters, President,recently received notificationfrom Paynter and Snow, Lawyers,of Cleveland, Ohio, that in theLast Will and Testament of Dr.Reginald H. Singleton who diedon February 13, 1947, there wasa request that the Des MoinesStill College be given a sum of$2,000. This is certainly asignificant gift.

Also, President Peters receiveda check for $96.25 which repre-sents the contributions made bymembers of the ClevelandAcademy of Osteopathic Medicinein memory of Dr. Reginald H.Singleton.

Osteopathic PhysiciansWanted in 'S. Dakota

James H. Cheney, D.O., haswritten the LOG BOOK editor topass the word along that Osteo-pathic Physicians are wanted inSouth Dakota. Many small townsare without physicians. Thescope and practice of osteo-pathically trained physicians isusually well known and favorablyreceived in that state. Practicerights are unlimited except formajor surgery. A very goodeconomic status exist in SouthDakota, and the state organiza-tion is very active.

Anyone wishing informationshould write J. H. Cheney, D.O.,Secretary, State Board of Osteo-pathic Examiners, 207 PaultonBuilding, Sioux Falls, SouthDakota.

The President Chats

THIS IS YOUR PRO-FESSION. Your Profession-the Osteopathic Profes-sion-is today challengedwith more problems than ithas faced for a great num-ber of years. The challengeof the Osteopathic Profes-sion today, is not one ofpractice rights, nor one ofrecognition, but is one 'ofeducation.

Education Today

The profile of Osteopathic edu-cation has changed materially inrecent years. Medical educationis as old as medicine itself; how-ever, it has only been in recentyears that a conscientious efforthas been made on the part ofthe medical educators to thorough-ly acquaint the public with thedemands made by the schoolsupon their students, and it haseven been more recent thatthose engaged in medical educa-tion have sensed the need for thethe developing of the studentnot only as a practitioner but toso train him that he will be ableto assume his respective place insociety and make a contributionto his community.

Who Pays

Inasmuch as no student in theOsteopathic Colleges today paysthe entire cost of his schooling,in fact he pays only a very smallper cent of the cost of his educa-tion, the balance of that cost ofeducation must come from someagency of society.

This society may be the Osteo-pathic Profession; it may be in-terested layman; or it may besome philanthropic organization;however, it remains that societyis contributing to the educationof our students. Therefore, it isimperative that these students inour Osteopathic Colleges feel thatthey should assume some of theresponsibility which inherently istheirs in rendering a service backto society after the completion oftheir professional training.

THE LOG BOOK

In recent years proteins haveemerged from the strictly nutri-tional field and have begun totake their place as therapeuticagents. In the form of hydroly-sates they are rapidly becomingas indispensable in hospi: alroutine and in treatment asglucose.

Although proteins have beenknown for many, many years tobe as necessary in the diet ascarbohydrates and fats,-and al-though they have been recog-nized as body builders because oftheir nitrogen content, little hadbeen accomplished in the way oftheir use in sickness until theperiod between World War I andI.

The sensitive, yet stable struc-ture of protein molecules, as wellas their high molecular weightand the difficulties of separationand purification have made aclose scientific study and fullevaluation of this potentialitiesin health and sickness very diffi-cult.

New ConceptThe old definition of protein has

given way to a comparativelysimple one. They are now saidto be colloidal compounds of thevarious amino acids. Proteins areessential because they replaceworn tissue and provide forgrowth. They have enormousmolecular weights, varying from35,000 to 910,000, and form non-dialyzable or colloidal solutions.

Daily Requirements

The daily requirements fornormal healty individuals varywith age, sex and activity of theindividual and the type of proteinin the diet.

The average adult requiresfrom 60 to 150 grams of proteinper day. The National ResearchCouncil specifies a daily intakeof 66 igrams as being adequateproviding there is adequate in-take of carbohydrates, vitaminsand minerals.

The U. S. Army and Air Forceallowed 130 grams or more asbeing necessary. In pregnancyand lactation a reasonably highintake of 90-125 grams is recom-mended. Old people need about70 grams.

On the other hand, if the pro-teins are carefully selected, aslittle as 18-40 grams will prove

to be adequate. Once the struc-ture of the various molecules isunderstood the reason for thiswide variation in intake becomesclear. Hyrolysis of proteins re-vea's the fact that they are com-posed of hundreds of amino acidunits jointed together principallyby a peptide linkage.

Indispensable Amino AcidsProteins from food sources yield

about 24 different amino acidmolecules of which 9 are regard-ed as indispensable. As the in-dispensable or essential aminoacid is one which must be in thediet because the body cannotsynthesize it in sufficient quantityto meet its daily requirements.

The essential amino acids are:arginine, histidine, lysine, trypto-phane, phenylalanine cystine,threonine leucine, isoleucine,valine, (methionine).

These proteins which yield allthe essenital amino acids in rea-sonable quantity have high bio-logical value (proteins of kidney,liver, milk, yeast). Proteins ofmeat in general, eggs, and fish aregood.

Single grains are of low bio-logical value because they areusually low in one or two aminoacids. (Wheat is deficient intryptophane.) A mixture of grainson the other hand, may have ahigh value. The essential qualityof methionine is questionable in-asmuch as there is evidence that itcan be formed from choline orfrom lecithin in the liver.

Role of the LiverThe liver is the site of transam-

ination. Evidence is availablewhich shows that in the liver oneamino acid may be converted intoanother through the process oftransamination, or transfer of anamino group from one acid toanother.

This fact reveals important im-plications that the relationship be-tween plasma protein and that ofmuscle and the various organs isdynamic; that there is a trans-mutation of proteins within thebody. If the plasma protein be-comes lower than normal this dy-namic equilbirium is disturbed, re-sulting in general protein deple-tion.

Nitrogen BalanceThe average daily nitrogen loss

for an adult is 4-5 grams, which

is equivalent to a loss of 25-35grams of protein. To maintaina nitrogren balance the pro-tein intake must then be at leastequal to the loss. If the proteinis of low biological value the in-take must be much greater, andif any one of the essential aminoacids is not present the bodycannot grow nor long survive.

In many cases of disease andother abnormal conditions actualprotein loss may be excessive.Some of these conditions are asfollows:

1. Severe hemorrhage givingrise to temporary type pro-teinemia where plasma pro-tein may fall below the nor-mal of 5-7 mg. per cent.

2. Plasma loss due to burns,tissue trauma, extensive in-flammation and exudations,peritonitis, etc.

3. Excessive destruction of pro-tein. This toxic loss whichis accelerated by disease,may equal 1/2 - 1 oz. proteindaily (1-2 lb. muscle) (hy-perparathyroidism, high fe-vers, toxemias, infections).

4. Surgical loses may be sorapid and so great as tomake parenteral feeding im-perative.

Inadeqate protein intake, on theother hand, may cause deficiency.Causes for low intake may beas follows:

1. Financial circumstances maynot permit sufficient proteinin the diet.

2. Idiosyncrasy, allergy, or pre-dilection for certain kindsof protein may be responsi-ble.

3. Gastro intestinal difficultiessuch as peptic ulcer, anorexia,partial or complete obstruc-tion, ascites, diarrhea, etc.may lead to insufficientdigestion and poor absorp-tion.

Therapeutic Approach

Whenever there is negativenitrogen balance it becomesnecessary to correct it by sup-plying sufficient proteins withina period of time which must bedetermined by the exigencies ofthe situation. Blood plasma maybe administered parenterally. Pro-tein feeding by mouth may, inmany instances, be totally inade-quate.

'The development of com-rnercial preparations, which areknown as hydrolysates, has madeit possible to administer mixturesof amino acids, either orally orparenterally, with great rapidity.

Provided there is no extensiveliver damage, these amino acidmixtures are rapidly synthesizedin the liver into polypeptides andplasma proteins for general pro-tein feeding of all tissues of thebody.

Nitrogen balance may be obtain-ed generally within a day or twowith the administration of 4 to 8ounces of pure protein hydrolysate.Balance may be maintained there-after except in unusual cases withan ounce or so per day.

Hydrolysates which are on themarket are produced from vari-

ous substances such as: milk pro-tein, liver, yeast, and sometimesgrains although the last source isof low biological value.

PrecautionsPreparations having a high

salt content are apt to be deficientin tryptophane and because of thesalt, they may not be properlytolerated. Some preparationscontain liberal quantities oflactose, dextrose, or other carbo-hydrate. Such substances are in-cluded for the purpose of sup-plying calories which would besupplied otherwise by the aminoacids, and at their expense. Theinclusion of some fat is sound,but there may be attendantrancidity problems.

Choline, vitamins, and mineralsmay be present, and they allhave their purpose. Calcium,particularly has a place, sincehypoprotinemia cause hypocal-cemia. When unhydrolyzed pro-tein is present, it may occasional-ly produce allergic reactions.Preparation which contain aminoacids and polypeptides only andno unhydrolyzed protein, are non-allergens.

Conditions Requiring ProteinAccording to B. A. Dormer,

Chief tuberculosis officer for theUnion of South Africa, the fol-lowing conditions require pro-tein feeding in excess of normalrequirements:

1. Wasting disease, such astuberculosis.

2. Anaemias, especially thoseassociated with low proteinin the diet.

3. Burns in which a great dealof protein is lost in theserous exudate; wound andfractures.

4. Following operation wherethe patient often is unableto take in or digest or-dinary protein food.

5. Hunger oedema or starva-tion oedema (dropsy) due tolack of protein in the diet.

6. Malignant oedema (infantilepellagra), Kwasiokor, etc.

7. Tropical ulcer and other in-dolent forms of ulcer, in-cluding those due to varicoseveins.

8. In convalescence from andduring the acute state ofacute infectious diseases.

9. In pregnancy.10. In cachectic or wasting

states; i.e., inability to dealwith ordinary food in casesof cancer. In marked mal-nourishment in children.

11. Gastric and duodenal ulcera-tion. Low protein diets willcause stomach ulcers in ex-perimental animals. Co Tuihad good results with highprotein and high caloric dietin these cases.

12. Nephrosis and similar condi-tions of kidney disease inwhich there is a large lossof protein.

13. Tube feeding in cases oflaryngeal tuberculosis, aeso-phageal stricture, or otherconditions requiring thisform of therapy.(Continued on Page 4)

Dean's Letter

During the week of April20th I had the pleasure ofattending the national con-vention of the National As-sociation of Collegiate Reg-istrars which was held inDenver.

Many points of interest werebrought out during the sessions,but the keynote of the entireconvention was the problem ofVeteran Education.

Virtually every college and uni-versity must find the answers tothe questions: (1) How are wegoing to provide an adequateteaching staff? (2) How are wegoing to provide laboratory,classroom and laboratory facili-ties?

Without doubt the FederalGovernment will be required toassist in these matters inasmuchas it has provided the funds tothe veterans for the purpose oftheir education.

Your Board of Trustees and ad-ministration have anticipatedthese problems and have beenmost fortunate in the selection ofoutstanding faculty members.The most recent addition to yourFaculty is H. P. K. Agersborg,Ph.D., who bears a national andinternational reputation in thefield of histology.

As time passes, other announce-ments of the selection of outstand-ing men for your faculty will appearin the LOG BOOK.

The Clinic Hospital and themodern laboratories of the Col-lege speak for themselves. Dur-ing the recent convention of theIowa Society of Osteopathic Phy-sicians and Surgeons in DesMoines we were happy to receivethe expressions of pleasure andsatisfaction of the many visitorswho came to renew friendshipsand to see the college and itsfaculty members.

It is estimated conservativelythat coLeges throughout thecountry will be forced to carryenrollment two to three times inexcess of the normal for a periodof eight to ten years. Your col-lege is only interested in provid-ing an Osteopathic educationwhich shall be second to none,and its administration hopes withalh its heart that it will not becompelled to sacrifice superiorteaching to accommodate thegreat numbers of young men andwomen who will seek admission.

Two of the speakers at heOntario (Canada) OsteopathicConvention held in Hamilton fromMay 8 to 10 were from this col-lege. Dr. Edwin F. Peters, Presi-dent, and Dr. Byron E. Laycock,Chairman of the Department ofOsteopathic Principles and Tech-nique, appeared on the technicalprogram.

Dr. Peters spoke on "Per-sonality Problelms and Their Ef-fects on Health," "The Psycho-neuroses," and "Psycho-Thera-peutics." Dr. Laycock's lecturesdealt with "Arthritis," "Osteo-pathic Treatment of Acute In-fectious Diseases," "The Vegeta-tive Nervous Systemi," and"Osteopathic Principles."

High School ClassTours College

The Biology class of the Urban-dale High School made a tour ofthe .College and Hospital on Fri-day, May 2. The class was shownthrough the laboratories of thecollege and given brief talls bycertain staff members. This classwas brought to the school by MissWilcox, their instructor. Otherclasses from High Schools havevisited us from time to time, someof them coming from outside ofDes Moines. We are pleased tohave such visitors.

Speakers atIllinois Convention

Three members of the CollegeFaculty, Drs. B. . Laycock, JohnWoods, and P. E. Kimberly ap-peared on the program of theIllinois State Convention held atthe Marquette Hotel, Peoria,Illinois, on May 4. This groupconducted a three-hour sym-posium on the topic, The Osteo-pathic Interpretation nIl Manage-ment of Common Symptom-Com-lexes.

ifl)A-rDAflrrT fVifTA

Our meeting for this monthwas held at Mrs. Doty's Tea Roomon Thursday evening, May 8.

It was a grand treat to havewith us as special guest, MarthaPattie, D.O. Dr. Pattie is veryenthusiastic about travel as wellas a big booster and ardent pio-neer for Osteopathy. She told us

G BOOK

of many interesting experiences.We think Dr. Pattie a great per-sonality and hope with her thatshe will continue to find her workin Cape Town, South Africa,thrilling and fruitful.

The attendance at this meet-ing was good, but we are certainthat those who were not presentmissed a very enjoyable evening.

Mrs. Jean Toews was hostessat the May 6th meeting at herhome, 1329 Clark Street. Assistanthostesses were Mrs. Lucile Dun-bair and Mrs. Mary Ellen Dunbar.

A picnic will be given at Mc-Henry Park on Sunday, May 25,beginning at two o'clock. Allmembers and their families areinvited to attend.

AcTLAS CDr. J. R; Forbes was the speak-

er at our last practical worknight, April 28th. He gave avery interesting talk supplement-ed with pictures on skin diseasesand a lergies. Our next worknight, May 19th, will have Dr.P. E. Kimberly speaking on thetie-up betwen anatomy and tech-nique, which will be of interest toall the new Freshman.

Convention

Many interesting things werelearned by those attending theIowa Osteopathic Convention,May 12 and 13. Those attendingthe banquet, floor show, anddance, enjoyed it.

Smoker

Thanks to the following Auniniand guests who made our Fresh-man Smoker a success: Drs.Jones, Negey, McAllister, Forbes,Campbell, Racher and Strachan.

New Pledges

We are glad to welcome intoour fraternity as pledges the fol-lowing Freshman A Students,Robert W. Johnson and WilburW. Kielbaugh.

A short business meeting washeld during the noon hour, Tues-day, April 22, to discuss futureplans for meetings.

The evening of Friday, May2nd, was the time of a work ses-sion which was held at the homeof Ken Roberts. Many practicalself-developed forms of techniquewere shown by clinical memberspresent. The Roberts' large livingroom provided ample space forthree portable treating tables.There is still room for another,so if anyone has a portable tablefor. sale, please call 6-7150. Amost delicious lunch was servedby Mr's. Roberts and our host.While refreshments were beingserved, this conscientious groupwas entertained by NorbertHeichelbech's discussion on

''Chapiman's Reflexes." The meet-ing was adjourned at an earlyhour.

Spaghetti Dinner

The members of Phi SigmaGamma are very grateful to Mrs.Josephine ,Gaudio for so capablyassisting her husband, BrotherRalph Gaudio in planning andpreparing a Spaghetti and Meat-ball dinner served at the Chapterhouse Saturday evening, March26. Along with the Gaudios, Mrs.Mary Ellen 'Dunbar, Mrs. Mari-lynn Mack and Mrs. Jean Elliottcombined their efforts in stagingthis culinary extravaganza at-tended by one hundred andtwenty-five persons. After thedinner was served the rugs wererolled back. Guests starteddancing to juke box music andthe piano, bass viol and guitarrenditions of Brothers Marv Tate,Stan Finck and Homer Elliottuntil the evening broke up atone A.M.

Smoker Held

With the new semester wellunder way Interfraternity Coun-cil Smokers, as always, seem tocome at just times when theFreshmen are having Exams thefollowing day. Ours was no ex-ception. But, in spite of thewritten lessons our Smoker waswell attended by the new stu-dents at Still College.

Archon Marvis Tate opened theprogram by welcoming the newstudents and introduced theGrand Archon of Phi SigmaGamma, Dr. 0. Edwin Owen,Pathologist at Wilden Hospital,who gave a very interesting dis-course on "Osteopathy and ItsPlace in Modern Therapeutics."

In summing up his remarks,Dr. Owen described some of thefundamentals of OsteopathicTechnique and turned the meet-ing over to Brother Tate, who inturn aided by Brother JohnEdglerton, Wilbur Huls, BillMack and Dr. Emmanuel Racherdemonstrated many of the basicmanipulations and explained theunderlying principles concerningeach technique. The demonstra-tion was greatly facilitated by theuse of several portable tables,loaned by the Brothers and setup for the occasion. Followingthe demonstration a luncheon wasserved and many remained for asession of bridge before leavingfor home.

Semi-Formal Dance

About seventy couples turnedout for the annual Spring Semi-Formal he-d at the Chapter houseon the evening of May 10th. Thehouse was decorated in the themeof spring and much credit is dueBrothers Bill Mack and Joe La-Manna for the artistry displayedin arranging the background forsuch a lovely party.

THE LOG BOOK


Medidal Education Past andPresent, pages 302 to 310, I quotefrom page 309, which is as fol-lows:

"Remember that the good doc-tor is, or should be, a communityleader in ethical, humanistic, so-cial and political matters as wellas taking care of the physical ills.Once a student enters medicalschool he has no time whatsoeverfor cultural training and ex-periences. Medical schools rely,therefore, on the liberal arts col-leges to expose these students toas much as possible in the wayof those non-laboratory coursesusually considered cultural.' Re-peatedly, in my hearing, medicaladministrators have urged such apractice; that is, don't let thepre-medical student take morescience courses than are actual-ly required; force him, if neces-sary, to take his electives in thefields that he will never againstudy after he leaves the liberalarts college."

Our Philosophy

The Des Moines Still Collegefeels that the above quotation isin keeping with the philosophy ofthis institution. That everygraduate of this school will be a

omnmunity leader. That he willbe ethical, humanistic, social andthoroughly competent to takecare of the physical ills of hispatients. This school also believesthat it; is imperative that everyOsteopathic Physician be cultural-ly as well as professionally train-ed.

Osteopathic education today isexpensive. It is lengthy, but theeducation found in the Osteo-pathic Schools today is such asto fully prepare the OsteopathicPhysician of tomorrow with thetrue appreciation of his responsi-bility, not only to his Profession,but to society as well.

Proteins(Continued from Page 2)

14. In gastro enteritis of Nativeinfants. It is considered thaton occasion this type ofgastro enteritis may be de-ficiency disease due to thebad type of diet the childis receiving.

15. Hepatitis or other inflam-matory conditions of theliver, infectious or otherwise.

16. Diabetes.17. Hyperthyroidism or overac-

tion of the thyroid gland.18. Anorexia nervosa.19. Hypoglycaemic syndromes or

conditions in which abnor-mally low blood sugar is en-countered.

20. Allergic states such asasthma, colitis, eczema, etc.,which are usually due toprotein foods, especially, egg,milk, meat, fish, wheat, etc.If we can take cases ofallergy due to ingestion offoodstuffs of protein type andput them on amino acidmixtures, we can then elimi-nate all the protein foodswhich may cause the symp-toms.

Conclusions

The maintenance of nitrogenbalance at all times, whether inhealth or disease is obviously ofparamount importance. The bodycannot function normally if anyof its various tissues are not

normal. The maintenance ofadequate protein intake and ofnitrogen balance will insureample nitrogen nutrition for thecells.

Protein, in its newer form, thehydrolysates, promises to take aprominent place in the field oftherapy.

Tennessee Basic Science ex-aminations will be held inMemphis and in Nashville onJune 13th and 14th, 1947. Ten-nessee Board of OsteopathicExaminers will hold their nextexaminations in Nashville in July.Address any inquiry to M. E.Coy, D.O., Secretary of the Board.

Fund Camaign

The Committee on Central Of-fice home announced that theAustralia Osteopathic Associa-tion, at a recent meeting, votedto back the $200,000 buildingfund drive, now at the $143,000figure.

Membership of this group, un-solicited, agreed to contribute inthis effort to erect a lastingmemorial to Dr. Andrew TaylorStill, osteopathy's beloved Found-er.

Osteopathic physicians in Aus-tralia are thousands of miles fromthe site of the newly plannedpermanent home for Central of-fice; most of these D.O.'s, in allprobability, will have little op-portunity to visit (we hope theywill somehow) the completedstructure. Yet they realize andwant to help answer this need!

College Foundation

The Des Moines Still CollegeOsteopathic Foundation held itsannual corporation meeting fol-lowing a dinner at the HotelKirkwood Monday, June 3.

The report of the treasurer wasquite gratifying in that the networth of the foundation has in-creased tremendously during thispast year. The major problemfacing the group at the presenttime is the several thousands ofdollars which have been pledgedby members of the osteopathicprofession and have not beenpaid. The number of membersof the Board of Trustees was setat 7 for the coming year. Dr.Edwin F. Peters as President ofthe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy & Surgery is auto-maticaly a member of this board.Old members re-elected were

Iowa CranialAssociation Meets

The second annual meeting ofthe Iowa Study Group of cranialtechnicians was held at ClearLake, Iowa, for four days, June19 to 22 inclusive.

This group of osteopathic phy-sicians who have studied cranialosteopathy under Dr. William G.Sutherland have been meetingand studying together over athree year period. New mem-bers have been added to theirranks constantly during this time.

The annual meeting at ClearLake is a combination of businessand pleasure (when weather per-mits). The program during therecent sessions covered the phasesof neurology which are amenableto cranial technique, including adiscussion of obstetrical mech-anisms as well as many differentaspects of cranial manipulation.In addition to the above program,which was presented by membersof the group, Dr. H. B. Hale,Chairman of the Department ofPhysiology at the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy andSurgery, presented a paper onendocrines, the discussion re-volving around the pituitary andits effect on the other glands ofthis system.

At the business meeting, it wasdecided to continue meetings on

a monthly basis and to hold thesemeetings in Waterloo and Ft.Dodge on an alternating sched-ule. There were 17 doctors reg-istered at this meeting from allparts of Iowa. They are: Drs.J. J. Henderson, Clear Lake;Martin L. Bididison, Nevada; BertR. Adams, Ames; Nellie Kramer,Pella; Faye C. Kimberly, Paul E.Kimberly, Anna L. Slocum, MaryGolden, Carl Seastrand all of DesMoines; Alice Paulsen, Le Mars;T. L. Mann, Estherville; AugustaTueckes; Davenport, John Fox,Cedar Rapids; Leo C. Harrison,Cherokee; Hubert A. Achen,Dubuque; LeRoy A. Doyle, Osageand Kingsley R. Rogers, ClearLake.

Chronic UndulantFever Is A MenaceTo the Public Health

"Approximately 10 per cent ofthis country's population is af-flicted with chronic undulant fe-ver. In fact, reported cases ofthe disease increased 14,000 percent between 1925 and 1940."

So writes Dr. Lowell M. Hardy,osteopathic physician of Port-land, Me., in the current issue ofthe Journal of the American Os-teopathic association, the officialpublication of that organization.

He declares that these figuresshould be sufficient for this coun-try to realize undulant fever is apublic health problem, but statesso far little or nothing has beendone to curb the disease.

Dr. Hardy states, "Undulant fe-ver may be encountered wher-ever animal reservoirs of infec-tion exist." He elaborates thispoint further by saying goats,cattle, swnie and rabbits are par-ticular sources of Brucella, thebacteria which causes undulantfever. There is the possibility ofBrucella being present also insheep, horses, dogs, mules, poul-try, and wild deer.

"The organism has been foundalive in soil three months after ithas been infected by fecal dis-charges and putrified tissues,after two months in roquefortcheese, four months in refriger-ated butter, and ten days in re-frigerated milk," he points out.

Dr. Hardy then asserts, "Themost important consideration inthis disease is, that it is prevent-able."

Osteopathic Growth

Dr. R. McFarlane Tilley, chair-man, Bureau of Professional Edu-cation and College, A.O.A., wrotein the February issue of "Con-tact," official publication of theOsteopathic Society of the Cityof New York as follows:

The problem of integrating andcorrelating osteopathic concepts,philosophies, principles and tech-niques into the teaching programof our colleges and the activitiesof our hospitals and clinics con-tinues to grow in importance.

As we consider and exploreplans for the proposed OsteopathicHospital and Clinic of New York,Inc., we realize that if this in-stitution is to fulfill its destinyanLd to build 'upon the solidfoundations which have been laidin the New York OsteopathicClinic, that we must project themost definite plans to make cer-tain that our expanded clinic andnew hospital have a really osteo-pathic identity. This means morethan words and phrases.

If we are to build osteopathicinstitutions on solid foundationsof education and public service,it seems obvious that these in-stitutions, colleges, clinics andhospitals should clearly reflectthe teaching and application ofosteopathic concepts as they per-tain to the cause of the disease,to diagnosis and to therapy. Theseprinciples should constitute thecornerstone upon which our in-stitutions shall be erected andperpetuated.

In a recent person communica-tion R. C. McCaughan, D.O., says"Osteopathy is not only thera-peutic manipulation but is diag-nostic manipulation as well, butover and above that, osteopathyis a whole concept of the genesisof the underlying biologicalpathology. Indeed, I do not knowwhy we should fail to say thatit is a concept of physiology- I

jte 1og JhootThe Official Publication



think whatever there is of osteo-pathy, including its philosophyand its physical manifestation,belongs in every department inany hospital or clinic."

It does not seem unreasonablefor us to state that we believethat every department of our in-stitutions should establish theosteopathic concept as the strong-est activating force of the de-partment. Although other andadjunctive theories and therapiesand diagnostic procedures shouldbe taught and studied and usedas indicated, it is the develop-ment of the osteopathic conceptthat will set our institutions apartas those of special and particularservice in the field of educationand public health.

It may be of some interests toknow that the Board of Trusteesof the American Osteopathic As-sociation upon hearing a similar

'statement of objectives, recom-mended that the Special Commit-tee on Education Standards drawup a statment on this matterwhich shall be added to the pub-lished "Educational Standards forOsteopathic Colleges."

Dr. Roy G. Bubeck, Jr., Osteo-pathic Physician and Surgeon,wishes to announce the openingof an office at 712 Aston Build-ing 74 Ionia Ave., N.W., GrandRapids 2, Michigan on June 21,1947. Practice will be limited toobstetrics, gynecology and Caudal

Analgesia.

Introducing FifteenNew Osteopaths

At the recent Graduation exer-cises of Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy and Surgery, fif-teen students received theirdiplomas conferring upon themthe degree of Doctor of Osteo-pathy. The following paragraphsgive a thumb-nail sketch of eachof these graduates, and wherepossible, some indication of theirplans for the immediate futureis mentioned.

CLASS OF JULY 3, 1947

ERSKINE BURTON, a Cana-dian from Vancouver, B. C.,started his studies at Still 'wayback in 1937. Some time later,the war caused an interruptionand after five years' service inthe Royal Canadian Air Force, hereturned to Des Moines just oneyear ago. He is a member ofthe Atlas Club, Osteopathic so-cial fraternity. He plans to in-tern at Waldo General Hospital,Seattle, Wash.

A. ROY COLBY, an Ohioan,who holds a B.S. degree from theUniversity of Cincinnati, spentseveral years in service,-5 yearsin the Navy, one year in theArmy and a year and a half inthe Fleet Marines. He is a mem-of Phi Sigma Gamma, Osteo-pathic social fraternity.

He be-gan his Osteopathic studies inMay, 1944, following his pre-medtraining at Iowa State College.Homer is a past-president of theP.S.G. fraternity. He plans totake intern training at CorpusChristi Hospital, Corpus Christi,Texas.

GORDON L. E L L I OTT,another Canadian, took his pre-med training in his home townat the University of Toronto,prior to entering Still in 1939.His service record in the RoyalCanadian Air Force dates from1942 to 1946, at which time hereturned to Des Moines. He isa past president of the AtlasClub and a past-president ofBeta chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi, honorary osteopathic servicefraternity. During the nextschool year he will be takingsome post-graduate work and anassistantship in the Departmentof Cranial Osteopathy at the col-lege and hospital.

KENNETH A. ELLIOTT, fromColumbus, Ohio, took his pre-med


To the Officers, Trustees,Faculty and Graduating Studentsof Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery, dis-tinguished guests, Greetings!

As President of the AmericanOsteopathic Association, it is myprivilege to address those of youwho tonight will be awarded thehard earned Degree "Doctor ofOsteopathy," and who henceforth,throughout your lives, will bearthat title, assuming therewith thesacred trust to perpetuate thefinest traditions of the osteo-pathic school of medicine and tocontribute in full measuretowards its advancement in serv-ice to humanity.

You graduate in an era of con-fusion and unrest, a time ofgreat uncertainties. While wehave waged long and bitter warfor peace, we have not won thepeace. There is distrust be-tween nation; there is battle be-tween labor and management;there is economic insecurity; weare experiencing an unprecedent-ed wave of parental and juveniledelinquency. Because men andwomen see escape from reality,alcoholism has become our num-ber one national health problem.The men, women and childrenliving under these conditions arethe individuals who will be yourpatients. They will bring to youtheir physical, domestic, spiritualand financial problems. You arethe Doctor. They will seek youout as healer and Father Con-fessor.

Let us not cherish illusion-the 'New World is in need of arevival of the best precepts ofthe Old World a simple, abid-ing faith in God, obedience ofthe Ten Commandments - prac-tice of the Golden Rule. Never inour history has their been agreater challenge nor a compar-able opportunity for the con-scientious young man and womanphysician to render a humani-tarian service.

Each of you is an individualist.Each of you comes from a dif-

ferent environment. You thinkand react in different ways. Youhave individual aspirations. Theapproach to your new duties willdiffer. Yet, "as a man thinketh,in his heart so is he"-there isno one formula which will ap-ply to all, but there are somebasic principles which do applyto all, just as there are certainbasic rules for health. I havechosen as my subject, "The Roleof the Family Physician in theNew World."

Perhaps your greatest need, asyoung graduates, is to seek andfind a way of lifel rather than away of mnaking a living-to seekand find way of giving andserving, rather than ways of get-ting. If you give and serve, youwill receive multiple returns, in-evitably.

While the new world is highlycomplex, human emotions havenot changed. The cycle still re-volves around the age-old miracleof birth, marriage and death-with joy and heartaches, sick-ness, reverses, mistakes and vic-tories all along the way. Thephysician is the one to whomthe family looks in times ofemergency. lHe becomes partand parcel of the family's lifeand welfare. He delivers the newbaby, sees the young mothersafely through the greatest ex-perience of her lifetime; heguards the child's health; he iscalled when sudden accident oc-curs and life is in the balance;listens to and helps smooth outfamily problems. There, must benothing impersonal about thephysician's interest in his patient'swelfare. Henceforth, through-out the years, your words willbe quoted-"the doctor said."

Because of the supreme con-fidence reposed in him, it be-hooves the physician to keepabreast of new developments inthe field of scientific research andproblem of public health-andhow to meet them, through con-tinuous post-graduate studies. He

Hospital NotesAccording to the annual re-

port of the College Hospital,there was a total of 484 deliveriesin the Obstetric Department, 580surgical cases and 688 medicalcases admitted in the 264 days ofoperation. It is interesting tonote that the surgical and ma-ternity death rate is 0 since theHospital opened and the overalldeath rate is .085, a fact in whichthe Hospital staff takes a greatdeal of pride.

The Diagnoistic service -con-tinues to be well patronized bythe- doctors' in the field in some31 states at the present time andthe daily staff meetings to dis-cuss these diagnostic problemsare indeed enlightening andworthwhile for the staff mem-bers.

should participate activity incivic affairs and in movementsfor the betterment of the com-munity in which he lives. Heshould cooperate with the localand state public health authori-ties and join with them in theirvarious programs of preventivemedicine. It is equally impor-tant ito be able to keep peoplewell as it is to have the knowl-edge and skill to restore themto health after disease has takenits toll.

The world is full of mediocrepeople-of people who "get by"-I charge you to be the bestinterne in the hospital of yourchoice -the best resident- thebeat physician in your com-munity. It is easier to make thenecessary sacrifice and do thework essential to success than topay the penalty for mediocrity.

The personal and professionalconduct of the individual phy-sician is the yardstick by whichthe whole osteopathic professionis judged in the local community.The Role of the Family Physicianin the New World becomes moresignificant through teamworkamong the physicians. It is in-combent upon you to make anactive part in the affairs of yourlocal, state and national or-ganizations and of your CollegeAlumni, all of which are concen-trating their energies toward ad-vancement of health servicesthrough the profession, of in-terpreting a nation-wide programof preventive medicine to thepeople through public education;of elevating standards of ourosteopathic educational institu-tions, hospitals and clinics-andenlisting favorable public opinionand understanding.

The osteopathic school ofmedicine is an independent andcomplete school of medical prac-tice founded more than fiftyyears ago to improve on themedical practices of that time. Inthe intervening years, it hasmade tremendous strides. But Icaution you to remember thatthe advancement osteopathy hasmade as an independent schoolof practice has been due solelyto the fact that our physicianshad something wmore to offer oursuffering fellow men-somethingdistinctive in the therapeuticfield. Only by maintaining the

philosophy and improving th

technic of the fundamental un-derlyingi osteopathic manipula-tive therapy, will osteopathycontinue to live and thrive un-hampered by the constrictivetherapeutic dogma of old schoolmedicine.

Our educational institutionshave been built and maintainedlargely through the voluntaryfinancial co-operation of alumniand friends. The maintainanceof private or non-State tax-sup-ported, I would point out that inany State-supported college oruniversity, the teachings andprinciples of personal conductand personal ideas and religiousideals is always limited. Theseinstiutions are not allowed toadvance any opinion or personalattitude toward which there canbe any organized objection.

Teaching is the product of theinfluence of the teacher's per-sonality on the student's per-sonality-and where the classesare very large, no matter howgreat the man may be, the stu-dent gets very little of such im-pact. If the faculty of a smallcollege is strong (as is the facultyof Des Moines Still College)-the student undoubtedly getsmany times as much contact withstrong teachers as in an institu-tion of great size.

The change which has comeover the education of our Ameri-can youth includes a very im-portant change in the materialthey are taught. Formerly, col-ege education was made up ofthe classics, the humanities andthe arts. Now, there has comean enormous unfolding of thesciences. We are all aware ofthe new quality of physics andchemistry and electricity - butwe are not all aware of thedevelopments of astral physicsand of the biological sciences, andout of the biological sciencesvery largely has come the totaladvance of medical science. Aman and his student can studyphilosophy, but for biology theremust be a man and student andlaboratory. These are the devel-opments in which the small col-lege is likely to suffer-and thesmall colleges of American canbe divided into two groups. Thefirst is a group of those whichare growing by virtue of steadilyimproving equipment. The sec-ond is a group of those which aredying for lack of equipment.Our osteopathic colleges mustcontinue4 to improve their phy-sical plants and equipment orbe willing to die. The purposeof your college is to give toAmerica leaders in the field ofthe osteopathic healing art-andonly through American leaderscan hope be given to the worldthat wars will be no more andthat the people of the world canwork towards security and hap-piness for which they have beenstriving throughout the cen-turies. Our osteopathic education-al institutions have a brilliantfuture only if the support isforthcoming to do the things that

e are necessary to keep abreast

with the constant change that istaking place.

It should be an inspiration toall present here tonight to meetand join in honoring the inter-nationally famed plastic sculptor,Beaver Edwards, who has con-tributed so magnificently to theadvance of science through de-velopment of prostheses for am-putees and deformed persons. Theosteopathic profession of Michi-gan and other states has pro-vided many of the Edwards'plastic hands to veteran am-putees as its contribution to thewelfare of the disabled veteran.

In conclusion, Ladies andGentlemen - professional col-leagues - I commend to youyoung graduates that in assum-ing your role of the Family Phy-sicias in the New World, you doso in humility. You would cer-tainly not be wrong if you wereto adopt the tenent expressed bySir William Osler in 1905, whenhe stated, "I have three per-sonal ideals. One, to do the dayswork well and not to bother abouttomorrow-The second ideal hasbeen to act the Golden Rule, asfar as in me lay, toward my pro-fessional brethren and towardthe patients committed to mycare. And the third has been tocultivate such a measure ofequanimity as would enable meto bear success with humility,the affection of my friends with-out pride, and to be ready whenthe day or sorrow and grief cameto meet it with the courage be-fitting a man." Would that wehad more men like Sir WilliamOsler, and also the late Dr.George Washington Carver, whoborn in negro slavery, devotedhis lifetime to the bettermentof mankind, became the greatestliving scientist of his day, livedat peace with God and man andasked nothing of life but to servehis Divine Master-died with thehonor, love and respect of theworld's great and of thousandsof lowly poor, whose lives heenriched by his contributions. Itis my hope that the Role of theFamily Physician in the New

World will be marked by a re-vival of the simple Christianvirtues.

"He has achieved successwho has lived well, laughedoften and loved much; whohas enjoyed the trust of purewomen, the respect of intelli-gent men and the love oflittle children; who has filledhis niche and accomplishedhis task; who has left theworld better than he foundit, whether by an improvedpoppy, a perfect poem, or arescued soul; who has neverlacked appreciation of earth'sbeauty or failed to expressit; who has always lookedfor the best in others andgiven them the best he had;whose life was an inspira-tion; whose memory a bene-diction."

"THE FIFTIETH YEAR"THE FIFTIETH ANNIVER-

SARY of the founding of our col-lege will attract attention not onlylocally, but nationally as well.

Next year, 1948, will be theiGolden Jubilee Year of th- DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy and Surgery. It was in thefall of 1898 that the S. S. StillCollege of Osteopathy opened itsdoors to the first class. Since thatdate, classes have graduated andgone to all corners of the globeto practice the greatest of allprofessions. Plans have alreadybeen started to celebrate theGo'den Jubilee Year in a stylebefitting this institution. Theseplans include active participationby the Alumni.

The Alumni cooperation will benecessary to make our GoldenJubilee Year the outstandingyear it must be. With the pres-ent entering classes filled tocapacity and with the ExpansionProgram of the College underway as it is, the coming yearwill be the greatest year in thelife of our college. What wouldbe a more fitting climax for ourFiftieth Anniversary, than to

have the necessary funds for the

erection of the New Out-PatientClinical Building.

Your support to the Osteo-pathic Progress Fund will makethis dream. come true.

Dean's Letter

As this issue of the LogBook goes to press;, the manyfriends and alumni of Stillwill be gratified to know thatStill College has just com-pleted a highly successfulyear, and is about to enterupon another year which willbe equally as important inits history.

ClassesAt the present time the College

is engaged in a dual program.The accelerated wartime pro-gram is being continued to itsconclusion. Classes which beganlast September will follow a nor-mal schedule, with graduation atthe close of four calendar years.Last year's Freshmen are nowclosing their first and only sum-mer vacation. The post-Sopho-more and post-Junior summerswill be devoted to an eight weekssummer session.

September FreshmanNew Freshman will number

approximately seventy. Theycome to us from all parts of theUnited States and Canada. Morethan half of these young men andwomen are married and most ofthem are war veterans. Theclass is a carefully selected group,all of whom bring splendid rec-ommendations from OsteopathicPhysicians with whom they arewell acquainted. Their preoste-opathic scholastic records arebetter than average. In abilitythey wil rival any Freshmanclass which has ever enteredStill.

EnrollmentThe total enrollment for the

coming year is estimated to be175 to 200.

Cranial OsteopathyBeginning September 29th, and

extending through October an-other offering in Cranial Osteo-pathy will be presented to Oste-opathic Physicians under the abledirection of Dr. Paul E. Kimberly,Dr. William G. Sutherland andassociates.

This highly attractive and in-tensified port-graduate shortcourse is proving to be the bestwhich is offered in the field ofOsteopathy. The course is of-fered in three levels,-Basic, In-termediate and Advanced.

The classes are filling rapidly,but applications are still beingaccepted.

Graduate CollegeThis issue of the Log Book

presents in detail the content ofthe curriculum to be presented inithe first year of the graduate col-lege.

THE LOG BOOK._ _ ___ _ __ _ _ __ .~

Cranial CourseTo Be Revamped

The seventh biannual course inCranial Osteopathy is being of-fered starting September 29. Theusual arrangement of classes hasbeen reversed so that the Ad-vanced course begins on Septem-ber 29 for two weeks. The In-termediate group start theirtraining October 6 for two weeksand the Basic course will extendfrom October 11 to 25.

The training in the Advancedcourse has been altered over thatof previous sessions. This groupwill begin their training wherethe Basic and Intermediatecourses terminate. This is par-ticularly true for the week ofAnatomy. Considerable workhas been added in this divisionpertaining to the function anddiseases of the central nervoussystem. This has proven of par-ticular interest to our cranialtechnicians since so many oftheir problems are neurologicalmanifestations. To reiterate thatwhich has been written before,the Intermediate course is de-signed for those physicians whohave had previous training incranial osteopathy. The Basiccourse is the one designed forthe true beginner in cranialmanipulation.

The tuition for these courses isa total of $200.00, of which$100.00 is payable with the appli-cation and the balance payableupon admittance. All applicationsfor entrance should be mailed toDr. John B. Shumaker, Dean ofDes Moines Still College of Oste-opathy and Surgery.

Word of Dr. Stamps'Death Received

Mrs. J. S. Stamps of Seymour,Iowa, has recently written to saythat her husband, Dr. J. S.Stamps, member of the class of1902 died at the age of 80 onDecember 13, 1946. Due to aninjury received in an accident,Mrs. Stamps had not been ableto write, and this news is latefor that reason. Dr. Stamps wasa classmate of Dr. R. H. Single-ton who died earlier this year.She mentions that Dr. WalterGutheridge of Spokane, Washing-ton, also of that same class, hasretired from practice. -

Mrs. Stamps kindly enclosedtwo pages of the January numberof the Cosmopolitan Osteopath, apublication of the College in1902. One of the interesting itemstold of a Senior celebration inwhich the remains of a much-used and somewhat abused "Pot-ter" was cremated to celebratethe ending of their work inanatomy. Dr. J. S. Stampsdelivered a funeral oration whichwas a very clever paraphrase onAnthony's oration over the bodyof Caesar. Following the ora-tion he read a poem he hadwritten for the occasion. We re-print the poem here:

A SENIOR'S DREAM

Last night I lay a dreamingIn my sway-backed lolger's

bed,Of anatomy all finished,

And of school days quicklysped;

My face was wreathed in smiling,I hugged myself in glee,

To think that my anatomyNo more could trouble me.

Just then a ghostly glimmer,Seemed to show within my

room,But its weird, spectral glowing,

Only magnified the gloom;As I crouched Aand cringed in

terror,In the fossa of my bed,

"Old Bones" from out his corner,'Gan to slowly turn his head.

His ghastly, bony featuresWore a horrid fiendish grin,

His long arm was lifted,And a finger long and thin

Was poised and pointed at me.While his maxillary bones,

Seemed to move in clonic spasms,With his chuckles and his

groans!

And then he left the corner,Where so long he'd meekly

hung;The ghastly apparition,

Seemed to paralyze my tongue!And beads of perspiration

Stood upon my classic brow,As "Old Bones" began to chuckle

"Oh! You're up against itnow!"

"For two long years you've pull-ed me

And you've hauled me allabout,

You've turned my poor old emptyhead,

Completely wrong side out!You've abused me and despised

me,And sometimes you almost

swore,Because I had so many holes,

In my little caput floor!

"Now you dare to say you knowme?

Have made my secrets all yourown?

Just describe the petrous portion,Of my little temporal bone!"

And then he leered and chuckled,With another fiendish smile,

And said "I guess my geezer,That'll hold you for awhile.

"But if you need another,Arid come back for something

moreYou bet I've got it for you,

And will give it to you sore!My gray and fresh young rooster,

I don't wish you any harm,But please name for me the

musclesOnce found in this forearm!

"And then if that don't fix you,And give your pride a fall;

If still you think that you are'it,'

And know it nearly all;Here is one to throw you,

Into swift and sure decline,Just name for me the muscles

Once found along my spine!"

I lay and writhed in torment,Each hair stood up on end;

I finally gasped in terror,"If you'll let me off, my friend,

If you'll cease to look upon me,With that awful ghastly frown,

I'll just admit that I'm not 'it''Go away back and sit down!"

-J. S. Stamps.

A Real Reunion

One of the interesting incidentsat the Alumni banquet held atthe Stevens Hotel in Chicago, Il-linois, during the American Os-teopathic Association conventionwas the reunion of many oldclassmates. Particularly was itmost gratifying to the two doc-tors, G. C. Redfield of Rapid City,South Dakota, and J. S. Schwie-ger of Jackson, Mississippi, whowere seated next to each otherat a table but did not recognizeeach other as old classmates. Dr.Redfield first spoke to the doctoron his left and said, "Redfieldis my name of the class of '03.What is your name?" The gen-tleman to Dr. Redfield's left said,"Dr. Schweiger is my name,class of '03." Thus two formerclassmates graduating in 1903from the College who have notseen each other for a period of44 years were reunited at thesame banquet table at the A.O.A.convention.

After returning to his home inRapid City, South Dakota, Dr.Redfield sent the College thepicture of the class of 1903 inthe Dissecting Laboratory. Thispicture is being reproduced inthis issue of the LOG BOOKthinking that it might be of in-terest to the graduates of thisgreat college. Reading from leftto right we find the followingmembers of the class of 1903: Dr.Woods; Dr. Schweiger; Dr. Spen-cer, the teacher; Dr. Arnold; Dr.Wilcox; Dr. Whalley; Dr. Red-field, Dr. Arnold and Dr. Wat-ters. (Picture at right.)

Alumni banquets are greatoccasions for old friends to meet,for old acquaintances to be re-newed and for the exchange ofexperiences. Certainly the ban-quet in Chicago was no excep-tion when these two fine doctorsshould find themselves seatednext to each other after a sepa-ration of 44 years.

We feel that the D.M.S.C.O.S.banquets in the future will growin size and many similar expe-riences to the one of July 23rdin Chicago will be re-enactedfrequently in the years to come.

POSTGRADUATE TRAINING

Beginning on September 10, 1947, anentirely revised one year course of post-graduate study will be offered. The con-tent of the course will appeal to all prac-ticing physicians, and will be well worththe nine months which must be devotedto it.

Upon completion of the course, thegraduate student will be informed onthe latest development in OsteopathicTechnique, Medicine and Surgery.

Course ContentThe year (36 weeks) is divided into

six-week periods during which consider-ation will be given to twelve differentsubjects which are presented in the fol-lowing order:

1. Anatomy, 6 hours per weekObstetrics, 3 hours per week

2. Pathology, 6 hours per weekApplied Anatomy, 3 hours per week

3. Diagnosis, 6 hours per week,Radiology, 3 hours per week

4. Spinal Technique, 6 hours per weekPractice, 3 hours per week

5. Cranial Technique, 6 hours perweek

Surgery, 3 hours per week6. Neuropsychiatry, 6 hours per week

Urology, 3 hours per week

LaboratoryIn conjunction with, and in support

of the didactic schedule, laboratory will

be conducted in the form of clinics, dur-ing four afternoons of every week. Thelaboratory will be three hours in dura-tion, and the assignment and nature ofthe laboratory work will be determinedby the Director of the Clinics.

Science With Practice

By combining an advanced didacticschedule with actual daily practice, thegreatest possible opportunity is offeredthe graduate student for improving hismethods of practice, and of receiving in-struction in the latest advances in thepractice of Osteopathic Medicine.

Credit

It is recommended that all graduatestudents register for the course in theFall. Attendance requirements areidentical with under-graduate require-ments. For the full year, 36 semesterhours credits will be granted.

Total clock hours for the year are 864.

The President Chats

Throughout the school year,college administrators look for-ward to the opening of the nextterm of school. This past yearhas certainly been no exceptionfor the administrative officers ofyour college.

The Dean has been devoting agreat amount of his time to theproblems of the entering Fresh-men and the President has de-voted a considerable portion ofhis time to renovating the schooland making it possible for thestudents to achieve the maximumfrom the facilities we have.

The Anatomy Laboratory hasbeen completely redecorated.Much new equipment has beenadded to the various depart-ments during the past fewmonths, and the rebuilding of thevarious departments must be acontinuous undertaking.

At the present time, the clinic,on the second floor of the col-lege building, is being complete-ly redecorated, which will addmuch to the beauty of an alreadyefficient clinic and will give thepatient a feeling of true pro-fessional reception. The wallsof the school will receive newpaint, and various class roomswill be painted pastel colors.

While the summer months areusually considered as vacationmonths, such has not been thecase at Des Moines Still Collegethis past summer. The studentshave been working faithfully allsummer. The teachers have beenon the job without exceptionthroughout the hot days, and theheat of Iowa has not lessened theactivity at the school.

The President is looking for-ward to the first weekend inOctober when many of the oldgraduates return for homecom-ing weekend. The reliving oftheir old school days will be ofinterest and value to all of themwho are able to partake of thispart of the homecoming.

We trust that all graduateswill be able to come back tovisit the school in the very nearfuture as we are anxious for allto see what has been accomplish-ed at the old school.

States SacroiliacDisorder Responds

To Manipulation

"Inability to flex and extendthe lower back fully or turn eas-ily and painlessly when lyingdown is characteristic of sacro-iliac disorders," Dr. Carter H.Downing, osteopathic physicianof San Francisco, Calif., writes inthe current issue of the Journalof the American Osteopathic As-sociation.

He says further that "Whereassacroiliac strain causes greatpain and disability in adults, itrarely assumes acute proportionsin children; rather, it is evi-denced in dull backache or legache and the symptoms vaguelydismissed as "growing pains."

Dr. Downing states that the sa-croiliac joints (which connect thetrianglar end piece of the spineto the flaring pelvic bones oneither side) are subject to anynumber of mechanical malrela-tions as a result of occupationalstrain, accidents, poor posture,developmental anomalies, anddisease. Mechanical causes farexceed any other in the produc-tion of sciatica (severe pain downthe leg) also.

Dr. Downing points out that"X-ray findings are generallydisappointing in sacroiliac disor-ders. It is impossible to make ac-curate deductions on minute andcomplex structural shifts becausethe x-ray lacks necessary iso-metric qualification. Final analy-sis of these physiologic disordersrests on clinical examination."

"Athletes are frequently vic-tims of sacroiliac disorders," Dr.Downing says. "The finding ofrestricted motion in a sacroiliacjoint disturbs muscle mechanicsof the thigh and often results inknee instability-the so-called'trick knee' of athletes -pulledmuscles, and tendon injuries."

He concludes by stating thatthe majority of patients withlow-back pain, muscle difficul-ties, and sciatica will obtain re-lief only after they have receivedmanipulative treatment to correctmechanically the involvement ofthe sacroiliac joints.

Entering FreshmanWrites

EDITOR'S NOTE: This isa reprint of an article en-titled "Law Change WouldAlleviate Doctor Shortage"which appeared in theAugust 27, 1947, edition ofThe Canova, South Dakota,Herald, written by RichardWirzbach of Sioux Falls,S. D. Mr. Wirzbach is anentering freshman in DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy and Surgery this se-mester. The President andthe Dean feel he is to be con-gratulated on this splendidarticle which clearly showshe is thoroughly familiarwith the profession he isabout to enter.

One of the most urgent prob-lems confronting South Dakotaat this time is lack of medicalcare. Our shortage of physiciansand hospitals has been attributedto a number of factors, but nosatisfactory solution for im-mediate or even future relief isin sight. The South Dakota StateHealth Committee reported lastyear that there are only fivecounties which come within theminimum of having a physicianfor each 1500 persons or less. Atleast 160 additional physicians areneeded.

Under existing statutes, osteo-pathic physicians in South Dakotaare limited in their practice byregulations passed by the StateLegislature in 1907. The pro-visions of this law permit theosteopaths full practice rights

with the exception of major sur-gery.

If this law is changed and thediscrimination removed, a big stepwould be taken toward alleviatingthe acute doctor shortage in thestate. In 1937 there were seventy-five osteopathic physicians prac-ticing in South Dakota. Duringthe next ten years eighteen newones were licensed and locatedhere. But at present, ten yearslater, only fifty-seven remain.There was a net loss of thirty-six. Of these thirty-six, twentymoved to states that allow themfull practice rights. During thisdecade, while South Dakota osteo-paths decreased 38% in number,the net gain in the number ofosteopaths over the entire UnitedStates was 23%. Obviously theloss here is not due to economicreasons. South Dakota hasflourished along with the rest ofthe nation in the last ten years.The cause of the decrease isquite apparent as evidenced bythe situation in other states. InNew Mexico, whose population is100,000 less than South Dakota,there are 102 osteopathic phy-sicians and nine osteopathic hos-pitals. New Mexico shows nolegislative discrimination betweendoctors holding the M D. degreeor the D. 0. degree.

Osteopathy is a complete schoolof medicine and surgery. All pro-cedures of medical science suchas surgery, obstetrics, the use ofdrugs and other diagnostic andtherapeutic procedures are em-braced in its scope. The Ameri-can Osteopathic Association is theaccediting agency for schools ofosteopathy and surgery, and to-gether with the American Collegeof Osteopathic Surgeons, inspects

osteopathic hospitals approvedfor the teaching of interns. Thereare six approved schools and overthree hundred exclusive osteo-pathic hospitals in the UnitedStates. Requirements for ad-mission to these schools is aminimum of two years pre-medical study in a college ofliberal arts, with subject require-ment similar to that prescribedby medical schools granting theM. D. degree. The professionalcourse leading to the degree, Doc-tor of Osteopathy, is a minimumof four years. Three of the ap-proved schools have increasedtheir curricula to 41/2 years.17.5% of the professional coursein these schools is devoted to sur-gery, yet osteopathic physiciansin South Dakota are not allow-ed to practice surgery. Thirty-three states permit Doctors ofOsteopathy unlimited practice; asa result osteopathic hospitalsflourish in those states and D. O.'scan practice in full the sciencethey spent years learning.

To obtain licensure in SouthDakota an osteopathic physicianmust first pass the Basic Scienceexamination. He must be agraduate of one of the six ap-proved schools of osteopathy andsurgery. Finally, he is examinedby the State Board of Osteo-pathic Examiners, which is com-prised of three practicing D. O.'sappointed by the governor.

In addition to the majority ofstates which show no discrimina-tion between Doctors of Osteo-pathy and physicians of any otherschool, D. O.'s are fully recog-nized by the government. Theyare eligible for appointment asmedical officers in the Army,

Dr. Minnick Co-AuthorOn Alloxan Study

Edward Minnick, M.D., labora-tory assistant in Clinical Path-ology and student at DMSCO re-cently assisted in compiling a re-port published in the Annals ofInternal Medicine, June, 1947,covering "Alloxan in the Treat-ment of a Case of Islet Cell Car-cinoma of the Pancreas withLiver Metastases." The paperwas written by Lewis B. Flinn,M.D., F.A.C.P., Dr. Minnick, andDouglas M. Gray, M.D., Wilming-ton, Delaware.

Their study points out that or-ganic hyperinsulinism has beenrecognized with increasing fre-quency in the last few years, andthat it is most commonly dueto adenomata of the islands ofLangerhans. More and morecase reports appear of successfulsurgical removal of these tumorswith consequent alleviation ofsymptoms. They state that attimes there seems to be a generalhypersecretion of insulin by theislet cells without discernibletumor in which resection of vary-ing amount of pancreatic tissuehas been found effective, but thatcarcinoma of islet cells occursmuch less frequently in whichcase the tumor is often slow togrow and slow to metastasize.They also state that in a few in-stances metastic islet cell car-cinoma in the liver has beenfound in which the metastatictumor cells apparently produceand release insulin. Five suchcases were reported in the litera-ture up to 1941, and a few morehave since been reported.

Various studies of al oxantreatment in such cases on rab-bits and dogs are listed. How-ever, they state that evidence isvery meagre as to the effect ofalloxan on the islet cells andconvoluted tubules in man. Theyreport one case study by Brun-schwig who administered thechemical in proportionally muchlarger doses than had been used

in animals to several patientswith carcinoma. This patient hadan insulin-producing islet cellcarcinoma. This case was re-peatedly but temporarily im-proved clinically by the drug. Forshort periods hypoglycemic at-tacks were much less severe andmuch less frequent and thepatient gained weight. However,in no case, even when the dosehad been increased to 1 gm. perkilogram body weight, was therelater any evidence of significantdamage to the islet cells orepithelial cells of the convolutedtubules on histological examina-tion.

A patient with an issulin pro-ducing islet cell carcinoma withliver metastases came under thecare of Drs. Flinn, Minnick, andGay in August, 1945. They feltthat in spite of the none to en-couraging reports in the litera-ture it seemed worthwhile to ad-minister alloxan to this patientbecause the prognosis was hope-less otherwise, and because tem-porary relief of symptoms mightoccur. They reported in detailthe results of the administrationof alloxan to this patient.

A complete copy of this re-port cannot be given herewith,however, for the benefit of thoseinterested we list the summaryof their report:

"1. A case of an insulin pro-ducing islet cell carcinoma ofthe pancreas with liver metastasesis reported with autopsy findings.

"2. The patient was given

Nervous Tension IsSaid to Be PrimeCause of Stammering

An editorial in the current is-sue of Osteopathic Magazinestates that, "Stammering is a ma-jor speech problem that shouldbe corrected as soon as it ap-pears."

The editorial goes on to saythat most authorities believethere is nervous tension inmost cases of stammering."Many times there is a socio-logical factor, such as a diffi-culty at home which mightcause a feeling of inferior-ity.""Only occasionally is stammer-

ing due to malformation of thespeech organs. In such instances(osteopathic physicians have foundcases in which there was tiltingof the horseshoe-shaped bone atthe base of the tongue. When thedoctor straightened the bone, thepatient could talk normally againbecause tension had been re-lieved."

The osteopathic approachfor the cure of stammeringincludes correction of facultybody mechanics, normaliza-tion of nerve and blood sup-ply to the neck and head andrelaxation of the muscles ofthe spinal region, the edito-rial states.

alloxan intravenously for nineconsecutive days with a totaldosage of 1.16 gm. per kilogramof body weight.

"3. No clinical effect was ob-served attributable to the alloxan.

"4. Histological examination atautopsy revealed slight evidenceof tumor cell damage in the livermetastases as compared withbiopsy findings taken beforealloxan therapy was begun. Someshrinking of islet ce ls not in-volved in the tumor was found.The changes noted, however,were not nearly so marked asthose reported in laboratory ani-mals and their significance there-fore is not clear."

Hospital Notes

Some interesting statistics arecompiled in relation to the firstyear of operation of the hospital.At the Homecoming ceremoniesit was announced that the hos-pital had admitted over 2500patients for care since the open-ing a year ago.

The ratio between medical andsurgical cases is a little unusualin view of the fact that mosthospitals today carry a higher per-centage of surgical entries, butthe report shows a well balancedmargin in favor of medical cases.Such a ratio makes Still CollegeHospital attractive as a train-ing center for future physicians.

The Obstetrical departmentcontinues to be popular in thecommunity. While the percent-age of twins seems toi be belowthat of usual years, the con-sistency of the daily averages ofbirths is high.

The mortality rate as of June1st was .085, and that same ratiohas continued to maintain itself.'The surgical death rate is bet-ter than 200% below the nationalaverage-an enviable record!

Training facilities at the hos-pital have increased to the pointwhere residencies in all of thespecialties are opening up rapid-ly. Volume of specialty work hasincreased to such an extent thatinteresting statistics should beavailable by the end of the sec-ond year of operation.

Old grads were welcomed, andall agreed that the hospital wasindeed more than they had antici-pated. To express their pleasurewith the hospital, many of thealumni made new pledges to theendowment fund or else in-creased those previously made(UNSOLICITED).

Dr. Teskey: "What do we callthe removal of the appendix?"

Chapman: "Appendectomy."Dr. Teskey: "Right. Now what

do we call the removal of thetonsils?"

Dockum,: "Tonsilectomy."Dr. Teskey: "Right again. Now

what do we call the removal ofa growth on the cranium?"

Plotnik: "A haircut."

During World War II, Dr. Benzserved in the United States Navyas a Chief Pharmacist Mate,making for himself an enviablerecord in the South Pacific.

Dr. Benz is the first OsteopathicPhysician appointed to theMedical Staff of the VeteransHospital, and Des Moines StillCollege is proud that one of hergraduates could meet the rigidrequirements for this importantappointment.

While a pre-osteopathic studentat Grinnell and a student at thiscollege, Dr. Benz was well knownfor his athletic ability through-out this section of Iowa.

We wish Dr. Benz the great-est success and happiness in hisimportant appopintment.

During the week of October5th Dean John B. Shumaker ap-peared on t1he Fall circuit of theIowa State Society of OsteopathicPhysicians and Surgeons speak-ing on the subjects of "AminoAcids" and "Modern OsteopathicEducation."

This circuit is held annually bythe Iowa Society, a meeting beingheld on consecutive days in eachof the six districts of the state.This year the meetings were heldin Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids, MasonCity, Milford, Jefferson and RedOak. Dr. J. R. Forbes (DMS '35),of Council Bluffs, president ofthe Iowa Society, and. Mr. FrankMiles, Des Moines, public relationscounselor of the society also ap-peared on the program.

Through the efforts of the new-ly created department of publicrelations of the Iowa organiza-tion, radio time was secured fromfour of the state's most power-ful stations for osteopathic broad-casts. This represents a new at-tainment in osteopathic publicservice broadcasts in Iowa, andit is planned to enlarge the scopeof radio presentations in thefuture.

On Monday, Oct. 6, Dr. Forbesand Mr. Miles presented a pro-gram on station WMT, CedarRapids, entitled "Periodic HealthExaminations - A Program forBetter Health." The script waswritten by Dr. Forbes from ma-terial supplied by the AmericanOsteopathic Association's depart-ment of Professional and PublicWelfare.

On Tuesday, Oct. 7, Dr. Forbes,Mr. Miles and Mrs. K. M. Dirlam,Des Moines, president, of theWomen's Auxiliary of the IowaI'


society, apppeared before themicrophone of station KGLO,Mason City, broadcasting a pro-gram on ,"Child Health and Wel-fare." This script was preparedby the radio division of the A.O.A.

Wednesday, Oct. 8, found Dr.Forbes and Mr. Miles present-ing the script, "Periodic HealthExaminations," on station KICD,Spencer. This broadcast was ar-ranged for the Spencer stationwhile the 5th district meetingwas being held in nearby Milford.

The highlight of this series ofradio broadcasts was the appear-ance of Dr. Forbes and Mr. Milesat station KFNF, Shenandoah,Iowa. The facilities of this sta-tion were made available to theosteopathic profession while the2nd district meeting was beingheld at Red Oak. The subjectof this broadcast was "The Pro-gress of the Osteopathic Profes-sion" and the program time was25 minutes. Mr. Miles assumedthe role of lay interviewer andasked Dr. Forbes questions con-cerning the founding of osteo-athy, Dr. Still's concept of theosteopathic lesion and the rela-tionship of structural integrityto health and disease, osteo-pathic education from 1892 tothe present, advantages and op-portunities in osteopathic educa-tion, and many others. Thisbroadcast was highly commendedand well received, and gave theprofession an opportunity to pres-ent, osteopathy to the listeningaudience of KFNF.

Electrical transcriptions havebeen made of each of these broad-casts and the society is estab-lishing a radio bureau which willmake them available to all sta-


tions for broadcast when it isinconvenient to appear in per-son.

These broadcasts and the trans-scriptions are not limited to Iowa.They can be duplicated in anystate. Anyone interested in thisprogram can write Dr. Forbes orMr. Miles and secure full details.Furthermore the society will bepleased to loan these transcrip-tions to anyone who wishes them.We are sure that a great op-portunity exists for a most worth-while public relations service tothe profession through themedium of such radio broadcasts.We earnestly trust that all stateswill inaugurate a similar program.

CRANIAL COURSES AGAIN SUCCESSFUL

Pictured above are the faculty and 31 members of the Advanced and Intermediate groups of the Post-graduate course in Cranial Osteopathy held last month at the College. Dr. William G. Sutherland, whoheads the Cranial teaching group, is shown holding an occipital bone (front row, center), and at the extreme leftis Dr. Edwin F. Peters, President of D.M.S.C.O.S. The carved stonework above the group is the new hospitalname-plate recently erected over the entrance to the Out-Patient Clinic and X-Ray Department of the in-stitution.

DMSCOS to CelebrateGolden Jubilee

1948 is the Golden Jubilee Yearof the Des Moines Still Collogeof Osteopathy and Surgery, Dr.H. V. Halladay, the highly esteem-ed Professor of Anatomy of thisinstitution for many years, writes:"Dear Dr. Peters:

In the back of my head is aglimmer of an idea about this50th anniversary next year. Itseems to center around the or-ganization of the Alumni into a"'Give gold for the Golden An-niversary." Suppose the few ofus here in Arizona decide to lookthru our old jewelry and findsome articles that we will neveruse. These could be sent to thecollege as our "gold" contribu-tion. It seems to me that thiscould be worked throughout the48 states, Alaska, and any other

place where an appeal could bemade on that basis. Let me haveyour reaction to this idea. Thoseof us here will be glad to startthe ball rolling even though weare few in number."

The president feels that Dr.Halladay's splendid suggestion isone of merit and sincerely truststhat every Alumnus of this in-stitution will support his plan tohelp make the much needed OutPatient Clinical Building a reality.

Dr. Woods Speaks toCanadian Osteo. Assoc.

On October 24, Dr. John M.Woods, of the teaching and clini-cal faculty of the college, spoketo the Canadian Osteopathic As-sociation, Niagra Falls. The topicof his address was "Problems inDiagnosis".

Dr. Parisi GuestLecturer at Des

Moines StillDr. Fiore A. Parisi of Yar-

mouth, Maine, D.M.S.C.O.S. '22,for the past two weeks, com-mencing on Monday, Novemberthe third, has given a series oflectures in Pathology to the stu-dents of this institution. Dr.Parisi is an outstanding authorityin the field of Pathology havingdevoted his professional life tothis specialty. For fifteen years,Dr. Parisi has served his profes- -sion as a Pathologist at theOsteopathic Hospital at Yar-mouth, Maine, as well as havingbeen a visiting lecturer through-out New England in his chosenfield.

The Seventh Biannual Post-graduate Course in Cranial Osteo-pathy was held September 29 toOctober 25, 1947. A total of 59physicians representing 23 statesand two provinces of Canada wereenrolled for this postgraduateprogram. According to all re-ports, each returned to his prac-tice with renewed enthusiasm anda vaster comprehension of thisrelatively new osteopathic cranialconcept.

The original founder of cranialmanipulative therapy, Dr. WilliamG. Sutherland, as in previouscranial programs at Still College,headed the well-qualified facultyof doctors who so ably presentedthe abundance of scientific dataand practical applications oftechnic to the members of thepostgraduate student body. Dr.Sutherland's inspiring lectures arenot soon forgotten; they indeedoffer much food for thought.

Heading the list of lecturersfor these courses was Dr. Paul E.Kimberly, Chairman of the De-partment of Cranial Osteopathyat Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy and Surgery and formany years Chairman of the De-partment of Anatomy. Dr. Kim-berly's lectures are always asource of much amazement andwide-eyed astonishment becauseof his ability to extricate moreand more detail and structuralsignificance from such abviousanatomical regions as the nose,the hard palate and even the ears.Other lecturers in anatomy andtechnic included Dr. Rebecca Con-row Lippincott, Moorestown, N.J.; Dr. Raleigh S. McVicar, TheDalles, Ore.; Dr. Kenneth E.Little, Kansas City, Mo.; and Dr,William A. Newvland of Seattle,Wash. The remainder of theCranial faculty included Drs.Chester L. Handy, Thomas F.Schooley, and Harold I. Magoun,demonstrators of technic.

The three courses offered '-Basic, Intermediate and Advanced-each presented a somewhat dif-ferent aspect of the various prob-lems facing the physician whomay be only beginning to use thisnew osteopathic tool, or who maypossess varying degrees of adept-ness in the therapeutic applica-tion of this concept.

In addition to lectures anddemonstrations of technic andmanipulative practice, numerousclinical cases were presented be-fore the several groups, each with

|I Hospital Notes

The hospital is very happy toannounce the organization of theDepartment of Pathology so thata direct-by-mail Pathology Diag-nostic Service is now available toall members of the profession.This fills a long felt need forvarious smaller institutions thatdo not employ a full-timepathologist. Arrangements arenow possible by which individualphysicians, clinics, and small hos-pitals may have a completePathology Diagnostic Serviceavailable on a case basis so thatall specimens removed in surgerymay have a Registered Path-ologist's report to back up a sur-geon in whatever community hemay be practising. Mailing con-tainers are now available so thatregardless of distance, specimensmay be mailed to the PathologyDepartment of the hospital and acomplete report may be returnedto the referring physician in amatter of hours. A full time resi-dency in Pathology has beencreated which cooperates with theprofessional training program forthat specialty so that morepathologists can be trained andcertified.

Understanding Others

Every organized professionowes to a major degree its pro-fessional advancement and growthto the members of society whoare not affiliated with that par-ticular organized group. TheOsteopathic Profession is no dif-ferent than any other organizedprofession. If interested laymendid not make a contribution tothe efforts of organized osteo-pathy, our glorious professionwould not have achieved therecognition that it has today.

It is imperative that people ofall walks of life develop a high-er degree of UNDERSTANDING.An understanding not only ofthemselves but of the problems ofothers. Many are the reasons forthe lack of understanding, yet itis surprising how few people havea true understanding of the needsof others in the various fields ofprofessional pusuit.

Understanding must be accom-panied by tolerance, happiness,and a willingness to work. Theday has passed in American life

when we can simply live andwork unto ourselves. We mustnecessarily associate ourselvesclosely with people of all walksof life; people of every profes-sion and vocation. We mustunderstand them as well as beunderstood by them.

A few years ago the Des MoinesStill College saw the need forenlargement and advancement.Two of our local doctors had adream. A dream of a new hos-pital for the teaching of our stu-dents. But this dream could nothave been realized without theaid of an outsider who had anunderstanding of our problem. Hewas willing to give many hoursof his valuable time towardsthe realization of this dream.

Mr. Nelse Hansen, of the Cityof Des Moines, realized the prob-and of the Des Moines Still Col-lem of the Osteopathic Professionlege. Mr. Hansen assumed athankless task; he assumed anundertaking that required greatunderstanding. Understanding ofwhy pledges were not paid at thedate of maturity; understandingof the problems of the purchas-ing and the securing of materialsfor the completion of the hos-pital; an understanding of frail-ties and the weaknesses of thosewith whom he was working. Overa period of more than four years,Mr. Hansen has averaged betterthan four hours a day of his time,given freely without recompenseor remuneration, so that an or-ganized profession might moveahead. Mr. Hansen truly had anapproach to the understanding ofthe difficulties of others, andthrough his efforts this institutiontoday has a hospital. His effortscannot be described in words; hisefforts can only be considered asa monument to a noble char-acter.

At the HQmecoming Banquetat the Hotel Savery, on October4th, 1947, Mr. Gibson Holliday,Chairman of the Board of Trus-tees, presented to Mr. Hansen abeautiful gold Hamilton wristwatch. The value of said gift ismeaningless as compared withthe services rendered by Mr.Hansen. However, the spirit ofthe presentation showed in partthe appreciation of the whole pro-fession for the services renderedto organized osteopathy. Thewatch bore the inscription "ToNelse from D.M.S.C.O.S., October4th, 1947," and while we ap-preciate beyond words the serv-ices which were rendered, we aremore deeply appreciative of thespirit of understanding that Mr.Hansen had for organized osteo-pathy. It was through that spiritthat our hospital was made pos-sible. We salute personalitieslike Mr. Nelse Hansen, and maywe all develop more qualities likeMr. Hansen.


Alumni Honored byFlint Hospital Staff

Dr. H. H. Kesten and Dr. L.R. Kesten, graduates of DMSCOS,were honored by the Staff ofFlint General Hospital and friendsat Dor-Lou estate, Flint, Mich.

The occasion was to celebratetheir election as senior membersof the American College of Osteo-pathic Surgeons at the recent con-vention in Los Angeles.

Osteopathic Pharmace

Dr. Wmn F. Tesky, of the De-partment of Pharmacology, lec-tured at the October 3rd sessionof the Symposia of the DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy and Surgery. The title ofhis address was "Drug Standardsin Osteopathic Phairmacy." Thevarious Standards of the Ameri-can pharmaceutical organizationswere carefully outlined in Dr.Tesky's. address as well as therequirements for membership inthe U.S.P. 'Convention.

To quote from Dr. Teskey's ad-dress: "The term Pharmacy hasbeen considered by some to beantagonistic to Osteopathic prin-ciples. In the modern conceptof Osteopathy, pharmacy con-stitutes an integral step in Osteo-pathic Treatment, being coor-dinated with Osteopathic Mani-pulative Treatment, - presentinga new field of 'Modern Osteo-pathic Pharmacy'."

Dr. Edward Minnick, labora-tory instructor in Clinical Path-ology and student at DMSCOassisted Dr. Teskey at the Sym-posia. Dr. Minnick spokeprimarily on the fallacious use ofantibiotics.

the history, examination findings,x-ray studies and reports, diagno-sis, and treatment as outlined.Several of these clinical studieswere given neurological examina-tions, and both the procedure andthe results were discussed. In-cluded in the cases presentedwere such conditions as progres-sive muscular dystrophy, platy-basia, Parkinson's disease, muiti-ple sclerosis, and other neuro-logical and structural disorders.

The Des Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy and Surgeryis indeed proud to be able to offerto the profession such an ex-cellent and well-received post-graduate program as thesecourses in Cranial Osteopathy.Much of the credit is due tothe ever-present guiding influenceof the originator of this concept,-a benefactor whom we areproud to have on our faculty-Dr. W. G. Sutherland.

Already plans are underwayfor another banner postgraduatecourse in Cranial Osteopathy nextSpring. Consult the Log Bookfor future announcements.

Dean's Letter

Now that the Fall semester iswell advanced it seems ap-propriate to present some gen-eral enrollment figures to you,that you may keep abreast withthe progress of your College.

At the opening of the semester,71 new Freshmen were enrolled,of whom 69 remain in school to-day. This fine group of youngmen and (one) women has beencarefully selected for their gen-erally outstanding ability as stu-dents and for the sincerity oftheir desire to become Osteo-pathic physicians. They con-stitute 40% of the total enroll-ment of the college.

VeteransNearly 80% of the Freshman

class are war veterans, who showa seriousness of purpose in pur-suing this course of professionalstudy. Many are married andhave families.

StatesThe Freshman come to us from

21 states and Canada. The great-est number (18) come from Iowa,followed closely by Michiganwith 14, Ohio with 7, and NewYork with . Canada sends us 2new students.

Preosteopathic EducationThe average student in the

class has spent more than threeyears in college. Seven studentspossess A.B. degrees, and threestudents have B.S. degrees. OneFreshman has the degree, M.A.They come to use as representa-tives of 47 pre-osteopathic schools,all of which are recognized andreputable colleges, and distributedthroughout 21 states of the unionand Canada.

It is a notable fact that manycolleges now have pre-osteopathiccounselors as well as pre-mediccounselors who assist students inplanning their studies preparatoryto the study of osteopathy.

Members of the profession mayfeel gratified in knowing that theschools from which they receivedtheir D.O. degrees are function-ing on a high instructional leveland are continuously producinghighly trained young people toaugment the professional ranks.

Local StudyGroup Formed

The newly organized DesMoines Cranial Study Groupheld the first of a series of weeklyevening meetings at the Collegeon Wed., Nov. 19. The secondmeeting was held on Nov. 26, anda third on December 3.

This group is composed ofDrs. John H. Fox, Beryl Free-man, Mary Golden, C. Ira Gor-don, Faye Kimberly, C. E. Sea-strand, Anna Slocum, and in ad-dition, four members of the fac-ulty of D. M.. S. C. S .: Drs.Rachel H. Woods, Byron E. Lay-cock, Paul E. Kimberly and Gor-don L. Elliott.

The Des Moines Cranial StudyGroup was instigated and organ-ized primarily by the membersof the College faculty becausethey felt the need for just sucha group to work out together themany problems which arise dailywith regard to this phase of os-teopathy.

On December 11, all the mem-bers traveled to Fort Dodge totake part in the regular monthlymeeting of the Iowa Cranial As-sociation.

The Freshman "B" class cre-ated their own Thanksgiving at-mosphere recently with a turkeyraffle and party. The ten centtfckets were sold to students,faculty, and friends. The drivewas well under way three weeksbefore the holiday with fresh-men students dispensing ducatswith an amazing display ofsalesmanship. Drs. Peters andShumaker started the drive offwith an initial purchase. Four bigtom turkeys weighing an aggre-gate of 86 pounds "on the hoof"were given away-three of themto lucky ticket holders, and thefourth to the best salesman inthe class.

Members of the hard workingcommittees were: Ticket sales:Bud Barnes, chairman; JackHesse, Sid Adler, Sturgis John-ston, and Phil Di Salvo; Adver-tising: Bruce Thayer, chairman;Mike Angnos, Bill Harmon, Char-lie Updegraf; Social: Elena Parisi,chairwoman; Bob Henderson, BobHindman, Chuck Chambers, Ger-hardt Fitz, and Bill Becket. Fin-ancial: Norm Bomengen and DickDe Bard; Turkey catcher: EdReuter.

The drive was climaxed onNovember 22 with a Thanksgiv-ing party at the Y. W. C. A. BruceThayer of the Freshman classprovided one of the highlights ofthe evening by rendering twentyminutes of song for the group.Dick DeBard accompanied Bruceon the piano. The raffle took thespotlight at 11:30 with eight yearold Corine Thayer drawing thestubs and Paul Panakos acting asM. C. The winners were Mr.John Lund, 609 6th Ave.; MarthaE. Galbraetter, 305 Hillside; Mr.Frank Klein of 2308 S. W. 9th St.;James McKeever of the fresh-man class received a turkey forselling twenty-one books contain-ing 630 tickets.

Adding up the profits foundthe class quite a few dollarsricher. This was quickly takencare of, however, by three lecturerooms being provided with muchneeded fluorescent lighting overthe blackboards. The remainingprofits ear-marked for futurefunctions and improvements.

Postgraduate CranialCourse Announced

Dr. John B. Shumaker, Dean,and the other members of thecommittee on postgraduate edu-cation at Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy and Surgery an-nounce the dates for the eighthbiannual postgraduate course incranial osteopathy. Two courseswill be given; the basic coursefrom April 5 to 17 and the ad-vanced course from April 26 toMay 8, 1948.

The College is proud to offerthe profession such excellent andwell-received programs as thesecourses in cranial osteopathyhave proven to be. Those of theprofession who have had any con-tact with these courses realize the

caliber of the instruction pre-sented.

As in our previous courses inthis subject, the faculty group isheaded by the founder of thecranial concept, 'Dr. Willia,n G.Sutherland. A competent groupof cranial lecturers and assistantswill assist Dr. Sutherland, includ-ing Drs. Paul E. Kimberly, Rebec-ca C. Lippincott, Harold A. Lip-pincott, Harold I. Magoun,Thomas F. Schooley, and others.It is the aim of the cranial facultyto have at least one instructor forevery four physicians taking thecourse. Consequently a maximumof individualized instruction willbe given in the practice sessions.

The major change in the pro-gram next spring will be theelimination of the intermediatecourse. The basic group, April 5-17 incl., is open to any physicianwho has the desire and initiativeto further his knowledge andscope of manipulative therapy.The Advanced group, April 26-May 8 incl., is limited to thosewho have had previous cranialtraining (basic, intermediate oradvanced) at this institution.

A trial innovation was insti-tuted at the October 1947 sessionwhich included the presentationof numerous clinical cases beforeseveral groups for the purpose ofobserving methods of examina-tion, treatment, neurological pro-cedures, etc. This was well re-ceived by all in attendance, andby request will be repeated atthe advanced course n'ext spring.

By special arrangement, ad-vance appointments may be madethrough this institution forcranial examinations by Dr. W.G. Sutherland and the variousother members of the cranialfaculty, during the week ofApril 19-24. This is a new servicewhich is being provided for thosephysicians who have patientspresenting definite problems indiagnosis and treatment. De-tailed reports, including x-rayand examination findings will befurnished to all referring physi-cians.

For further information regard-ing this unique diagnostic service,and for applications for theApril-May cranial course, pleasewrite the Dean, Dr. John B. Shu-maker, Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy and Surgery, 722Sixth Ave., Des Moines 9.

President Edwin F. Peters andDean John B. Shumaker spentDecember 12-15, in Chicago at-tending the American Associationof Osteopathic Colleges.

Dr. Kenneth M. Dirlam, Assis-tantChief of Staff of the CollegeHospital, was a visiting lecturerat the refresher course held atthe Chicago College of Osteo-pathy last month.

Amino AcidsIn Pregnancy

On September 19, 1947, theCollege Symposia heard a talkpresented by Dr. E. A. Hughes.The material for this address wasderived from a paper on aminoacids in pregnancy by Dr. E. A.Hughes and Dr. Genevieve Stod-dard.

The subject material for thispaper was taken from a case ofeclamptic toxemia of pregnancyadmitted to DMSCO Hospital inJune of 1947. The patient'seclampsism was treated withroutine conservative measures.She went into labor spontaneous-ly and within the next 12 hourswas delivered of a stillborn in-fant. The mother, who was inan extremely critical condition forthe next 48 hours, was treatedwith parental blood trans-fusions and plasma. Her condi-tion improved slowly during thenext 7 days. The 8th day, how-ever, she suffered a severe re-lapse with peripheral vascularfailure, and demise seemed but aquestion of time.

All standard methods oftherapy suggested or advocatedby present day authorities hadalready been attempted withoutsuccess or with transient bene-fit at best. Hence, amino acidtherapy* was suggested. The ra-tionale entails knowledge of cer-tain basic factors:

1. Close relationship betweenprotein metabolism and thespecific toxemias of pregnancy.

2. Pregnancy and parturition,even when normal, place heavystrains on a woman.

a. These strains are many timesincreased by the development ofcomplications and abnormalities.

b. The prognosis is dependentoften upon the patient's nutri-tional status.

The patient was therefore ad-ministered oral amino acids as alast resort. Within 12 hours herresponse was rapid and dramaticwith a complete change noted inall respects. One could hardlybelieve this to be the samepatient. Amino acids therapywas continued throughout herhospital stay. She was dis-charged 5 days later with no ap-parent ill effects from her un-fortunate experience.

Rather than completing an ad-vance in application of moderntherapeutics, this has merelyserved as a stimulation for theunfolding of much broader ex-perimental, clinical, and thera-peutic realms of basic proteinanabolism and catabolism. Actual-ly there are at present severalother projects of similar natureunder active investigation by ourstaff.
