We pause to examine this ce a rugacd man, his kinillv face etched and mciils and his hair streaked with the ol advancing vears and responsil.ililics. With purity and holiness ' he carncs out the loltv .deals ol his chnsen art of healing. No night is larU, no storm rages too herccly but that when the call c comes he buttons h,s old coat ab.uit him, pulls on his fraved n .-.nd resolutely goes lorth to stay the grim, col l hand of death. Too olten the only reward lor his sleepless niglits and weary days spent on tter cnilless vigils is that feeling of profound satisfaction that is his when he sees some life snatched back from the very edge of the Great Bevond by his efforts. Tired, overworked, many times underpaid, still he cheerlully carries the caduceus forward on high, not failing to contribute his share to the new discoveries of science, for was it not from such as he that man learned the use of the great anaesthetic, ether? And the cause and methods of combatting dreaded malaria? We ponder over this portrait of a man and then fondly and reverently to that friend and servant of suffering humanitv, the Countrv Doctor, we dedicate this volume of the X-R, v. FOREWORD I T is the aim of the X-Ray Staff to give the student body a volume vithin whose pages will live again the pleasant days of mmgled vork and play at old M.C.V., and vhich will carry on through the years a touch of the glorious spirit, not only of our college, but of that science vhich the Medical College of Virginia represents — the healins: of the sick. GEORGE BEN JOHNSTON, M. D, MEDICAL COLLEGE oF VIRGINIA 1853-1916 13r. GEORGE BEX JOHNSTON, 18.53-1916. was a native of Tazewell. Virginia. Coming, on both sides, from distinguished families of pioneers, lawyers, statesmen, and physicians. Dr. Johnston inherited splendid qualities of mind and body together with the polish and culture of the true gentleman. After studying medicine at the University of Virginia and the University of New York, he started practice in the mountains of Southwestern Virginia. But in a few years he moved to Richmond and devoted his professional life to surgery, becoming in after years professor of surgery at the Medical College of Virginia, president of the American Surgical Association, and the founder of five hospitals. His strength of character and graciousness of personality made him one of the most admired and beloved men of his time.

CHARLES EDWARD BROWX-SEQUARD was born In Port Louis, Mauritius, on April 8. 18)7. His father. EcUvard Brown, was an American but young Charles affixed his French mother ' s maiden name, Sequard, after her death. His graduation thesis at the University of Paris on Researches and E.xperiments on the Physiology of the Spinal Cord gave an early indication of his later attainments in physiology and research but gave no inUling of the restless nature which never permitted him to remain in any of his many teaching appointments. Political difficulties pre- cipitated his departure from France in 1852 and he taught and practiced in New York for a year. He returned to France only to leave for Mauritius during a cholera epidemic on that island. He next appeared at the Medical College of Virginia where he taught the Institutes of Medicine and Medical Jurisprudence during the session 1855-56. Here he did much of the work on the central and sympathetic nervous s stem and the glands of internal secretion which was later to make his name forever famous. Space does not permit a detailed account of subsequent professorships in Paris, London, Boston, again Paris, New York, again London, again Paris, and finally Geneva. On April 1, 1894, his wanderings were brought to an end following a cerebral accident in his beloved Paris. William T. Sanger, M.A., Ph.D., LL.D. NEVER COMPLETE A VITAL institution is never finishetl; that might he called its glory. Some better service, some new avenue of usefulness, or some new physical necessity constantly recurs. Whenever the Medical College of Virginia is thought to be complete, that will be an unhappy day. There must always be new needs to be met. Every student as well as every member of the faculty can play a part in meeting these needs. If each one of us in the next few years should interest someone sufficiently to make provision in his will for the College, and if succeeding generations of students should also accept this simple yet challenging responsibility, the institution would have ample resources for continued development. Whether or not this is done is chiefly a matter of interest and of consequent persistence and tact. To see one ' s College continue to flower in usefulness and prestige is truly reward enough; by some curious compensatory process, moreover, the prestige of alma mater adds to the prestige of her graduates. Conversely, the prestige of alumni sustains and further builds the prestige of alma mater. {17}. BOARD OF VISITORS Stuart McGuire, M.D., LL.D. C hurm.ui Robert T. Barton, Jr., Esq.

Mlgh on a mount gleamed a tiny speck — the caduceus — symbol of our hopes and aspirations, so dimmed by distance that outlines of serpents and staff were scarce discernible. The prize was dear, but the path looked devious, the ascent steep, and the way circumvented with dangers. And so we stootl, shackled by the chains of fear and misgivings. But in each breast burned a strong fire of determination to reach and to claim the caduceus, to break the bonds of ignorance, to attain that knowledge which IS the tather of confidence in oneself, to become skillful because of confidence and ultimately use that skill in the service of mankind. Thus we began the climb. Mazes of Anatomy, Bio- chemistry, Embryology and other fundamental studies confronted us. Deep interest, toil and patience, in due time, revealed their intricacies. One milestone passed. Then, like a dense log. Physiology, Pathology and Physical Diagnosis descended upon us. Slowly the heavy white curtain of obscurity melted away when llametl bv our earnest endeavors. With new energy we prepared for the third mile- DiHicult folk inhabited these parts. Obstetrics, Medi- cine, Pediatrics, Surgery and other strange clans greeted us casually, then lured us on to a closer ac- quaintanceship. Many long hours were spent in learning to understand their individual personalities, and in finally gaining assent to pass unmolested through their lands. Somewhat breathless, but unilaunted, we ap- proached the final mile. Fascinating hazards loomed before us — work on the wards, deliveries outside the hospitals, patients of our own in the clinics. At times Death and Discouragement stared us tauntingly in the face. How little we knew after all! But some- times to the oft-repeated phrase, Well, sir, how are you feeling today. ' would come the happy response, Much better. Doctor. Lines of pain and anxiety were replaced by a cheerful countenance and a hopeful smile. Then it was that the room seemed flooded with a light preternaturally bright, and reasonably so, for atlded to the sun ' s rays were those of the blazing caduceus — radiant symbol of healing — no longer ihmmed bv distance. 1 4 WILLIAM P.

King Jl i ,-lu Edwards Hoover Junior Class History ' T)AINS continue, labor progresses — and nigh ST three years march on! The multiple pregnancy of clinical neophytes has endured long, and pains have been progressive. The embarkment of the great ship, Endea ' or, in the bosom of M. C. V. was marked by obscurity, with endocrine reserves being called into play to glide by the Rock of Gibraltar at Promontory Point. The followers of such crusaders as Pasteur, Koch and Limmelweiss fought valiantly those dangerous cross- currents of Spencerian laws. Eventually, our ship reached the banks of the Great Plains in the distant horizon. A barrier of physiological and pathological processes, henchmen of biological laws, temporarily disputed the progress of our oarsmen, but adequate passports allowed a good representation to continue beyond the famous Os and along the great Canal to those ominous and stalwart spines downstream. Many voices challenge our progress, yet many lilling stations are within reach whereby our ship can store of those cargoes of knowledge and good judg- ment so readily imparted by those original pioneers of human welfare, the Ilippocratians and the Galens, the Osiers and the Halsteads. The good ship Endeacor is consuming numerous supplies along the deep straits with Medicine and Surgery comprising the ma;or equipment. Realism and Pragmatism buck the stern of our wizened vessel, and — harken! — the voice of our ship ' s observer, watchful at his post aloft, comes to us as a resounding clamor to gather in our building stones, to segregate and integrate them, for the far-away call is their judicious application — the molding of an art to combat the most individualized and variable entity — Disease. {i } Olivia Abkunethy, ElUin, N.

HULCHER Athletics Al.LE Moss Sophomore Class History RECOLLECTIONS OF A FrESHMAN MedICAL StU- DENT, Class of ' 41: With September 7, 1957, there came for some eighty-odd a first step. Before the upperclassmen returned with their rather dis- couraging views, there was a two weeks interval in which was nurtured a magnificent feeling of self- importance coupled with that ol complete ]iossession ot the noble M. C. V. Then came the tieluge — our memories now are meager, but these following scanty words may evoke a laugh or perhaps a tear. Anatomy: Delving into the clay to unearth the composition with our all-inspiring friend, Osterud, putting the soul into it. liislology: The minute Anatomy but always wid a little connective tissue t ' rown in. Emhrx ology: A course in the beginning of things with an appropriate and typical, Well, what do you think? Bacterioloiiy: The inimitable Shawsey lectures with a mere mention oi the bugs. Mid-Se.MESTER. — More joys and sorrows. Ihochenii.rlry: Prayers offered for a good memory The never-to-be-forgotten patent medicine side show. . eurat Anatomy: The course which delightfully explains the birth of a headache. P.fyclio-l ' iolofly A self-analysis causing us to wonder if we were enrolled in the correct institution. A beautiful day, that June 4, 1958 — putting the final seal to that common bond so firmly yet uncon- sciously created by eighty hopefuls. The summer ended, the new year finds us somewhat more than medical neophytes, with, however, a lengthy way yet to be traversed. Before observant eyes, strange fields stretch out, yielding fascinating knowledge — excellent cultures for youthful visions. The privilege of studying medicine, now that the aspirants are fairer judges, undergoes a strenuous and complete evaluation. Firm resolutions are made for future years. Frightened at the thought of ignorance, eager for new knowledge, and hopeful of mastering the essentials, we walk forward in the lights and shadows of medicine. ■{44} E. B. AcKK. Jr., Logan, V. Va.

September 6, 1938. — Went down to McGuiro Hall today to see what the rest of the gang looked like. Saw a couple of guys that graduated with me and a couple more from Colton. Also met a man named Mr. Larrick who said that there were eighty of us, but every time I went up to someone and said, Hello, are you a Frishman, too? he said, No, wanna buy a microscope? or Pu Pu Fraternity is giving a little smoker tonight, come on over. Septe.MBER 7. — Classes! They don ' t waste any time. That Anatomy book must weigh a ton and it set me back ten bucks. Swish! September 13. — My landlady went up on the rent. She said that she hatl to clean my room herself since the colored girl found my bo.x of bones under the bed and opened it to see what was in it. October 11. — Just finished a letter breaking the bad news to the family. Dr. Baker gave us the tuberculin test yesterday and I have a red place on my arm the size of a quarter. Come to think of it, I have had a little cough in the mornings, recently, and have tired out easily. Wonder if I ' ll be able to finish out the term ' ' October 12. — Went to .see Dr. Baker and he said that a posidxe tuberculin test did not necessarily men T. B., but 1 (hink he was just trying to cheer me up. October 17. — Chest X-Rays. October 20. — Not the slightest sign of T. B. from the X-Rays. Wired the family the good news. No ' Ember 5. — Fm expecting the roof to cave in any day now. They ' re adding another floor onto McGuire Hall and you can ' t hear yourself think. Every time I start looking through the microscope, they start knocking, and you ' d think those little gram negative rods were Mexican jumping beans. November 18. — School Champions! Guess our class showed everybody how basketball should be played. We haven ' t lost a game this season, and tonight polished off the champions of last season 29-12. And this is only the beginning, folks — only the be- ginning! December 15. — Christmas almost here, and I find myself more interested and excited over medicine than ever. Shouldn ' t be surprised if I turn out to be a doctor in spite of myself. With the sort of instruc- tion we get and the atmosphere of great things which fills the halls of M. C. V., I just can ' t help learning a few things. Here ' s hoping that we can all manage to turn ourselves into u.yejiil medicos! {47). I£ ' «ll H. H. Addlkstoxe. BlacUslmrg, Va. R. I.

Brockmeyer Athletics Powell Trakas Senior Class History A COMPANY of forty-three stalwart recruits marched forth to battle in September, ' 35. Little did they know what was in store for them as they began slinging plaster at the oncoming enemy, who seemed to dart out from the most unexpected places. The toll was thickest on the left flank where the well-aimed bullets from Machme Gun Pitts found eight targets. However, the retreating column was quickly reinforced and the enemy repulsed under the able guidance of Colonel Osterud, forcing the enemy to withdraw into summer quarters. Whde resting, a little foot aid was administered the Jordan way. Hostilities were resumed early in tall of ' 56, when the enemy attacked simultaneously at NegusviUe and Main Junction. A defensive plan adopted, the on- slaught was met courageously by men who stub- bornly refused to give ground. Many casualties were left by the wayside. Just as the weary battle seemed at an end, a surprise attack between Haag and Wil- liams greatly increased the casualty list. Major Shaw tried a Little Morehart to bolster the morale by recalling the Campaign of the Philippines, refreshing the memory of Mabel. A counter attack, lasting well into the summer months, finally forced the enemy back into their own trenches. Of the original forty-three recruits, twenty-seven seasoned veterans with five replacements entered the third phase of the battle on the offensive. And another thing: Lieutenant Fee encouraged the boys to sleep more soundly in spite of pathologic disturb- ances. The enemy began to show definite signs of weakness. But when the Crown Bridge was ap- proached in the Valley of Chevalier, the enemy ' s artillery found its target with surprising accuracy. A gas barrage following brought Nelson to the aid. The wounded were taken care of and order restored. Under cover of darkness, a clever maneuver took the enemy by surprise as the strategic Senior Hill was approached. Feverish summer months were spent in making preparations for the final drive on the D.D.S. objective. As the city was approached, ev d nce )f a desperate fray had been left behind . . . Ward boxes were overflowing with two-for cigars. These would-be explosives were shunned as Colonel Bradenham cau- tiously led his men into the abandoned stronghold. The end of the struggle was only a matter of days, now. The skirmishes were fewer with very little opposition from the enemy. The armistice brought peace for those veterans who for four years struggled with but one goal in sight — fitting them to live a better and more useful life. They fought that others might enjoy this same peace. Those cold, ruthless men who were once a much-dreaded foe were at last found to be human and willing to share their destinies. All bitterness seemed to have lost its unpleasant taste. {52} ULPIAN G.

Edmondson X-Rai Winfree Hughes Jlliletia Junior Class History IN THE fall ol ' 36, a small group of young men, ambitious and eager, arrived at McGuire Airport to learn to fly the good ship DenlLflri to the Promised Land. What a peaceful journey we anticipated! Anyway, it was a beautiful mirage, until Chief Pilot Little took us for a trial flight and threw us into a tail spin. The Anatomy storms didn ' t help any, and we couldn ' t quite analyze the quantative bombard- ments. Our brains were more blurred than the micro- scopes in Histology. The foot-washing technujue in three easy lessons by Jordan only helped to mudtly the field, but those skulls we drew tor Duncan were our masterpieces. Our second flight was more turbulent. We tried to get organized, but barrel-rolled with Bio and Physiology and nose-dived with the microbes antl the drugs. We finally landed, somewhat battered and weather-beaten, with our ranks depleted but with more determination than ever (o reach the goal. At last, one of the happiest moments of our careers — our entrance to the clinic. We were given much ad- vice, instructions and orders, all to the tune of Now You Have to Think in Terms of Human Beings and Not Static Material. Our first patients, the solo. Perhaps we were a little nervous, but after all, there was nothing to be afraid of, as we had made many similar preparations on models. What bitter sweet! We tried the marginal trimmers here, the Wedelstadt there, but we just couldn ' t quite make it. We tried the contra-angle in the upper arch with a mirror and it would go in every direction except the right one. Cold sweat popped out. Rapid thoughts of how we did this cavity in the dentiform flashed by. Rapid glances — no, that wouldn ' t work. The Prof was looking, and he would never permit us to stand our patients on their heads! We had many more solos that session, but under the careful tutoring of the pilots, we became more at ease and hopeful, and finally more confident. { 61 }. Joseph A. Abraham, Newport News, Va. Paul H.

When classes started on September 20th to begin our second year, it was good to find that the class of 1941 had lost only a lew men during its first year. Because it is one of the largest classes to start out in the School of Dentistry, let us hope it will still be intact, when the final day comes around. Although we found the work harder this year, it has been even more enjoyable, because we really have gotten into the work which interested us most. In Operative Dentistry we have learned the care of in- struments and their use in cavity preparations. A brand new e.xperience was offered to us in Crown and Bridge, which was our first work in the technicjue of soldering and casting of gold. The Chemistry this past year was much harder than that which we have hati in previous years aiitl kept us busier. On the whole, our work was very occupying and interesting. We hope that the instructors, who have been so patient with us, will always find the men in our class hard-working and as co-operative as they have been with us. { 63 } William H.

We were all going hither and thither without know- ing exactly what we were going to do, seeing a possi- bility of a D.D.S. in the future. Finally thirty-four of us, long, short, little, big, and all eager to learn, were cornered by our professors who told us that perhaps we would some day reach that goal we had a ken. Never will we forget that day — a march from the organ, cameras clicking, the Seniors marching in with their caps and gowns. How big our eyes were while we sat there not knowine whether we would be here four years, lour months, four weeks, or even four days. How we envied those upperclassmen! We are now more satisfied, for we all seem to have the right spirit and we see that the work at M. C. V. (iraduallii unfoUls before us after days of laboring in a daze. We are still here, fellows (without a fern ), and may we all stay with It to the end, never forgetting that first Anatomy exam, that little wax box one inch square, and that we are the first class to begin a new centurv. {65 1 ill D.

Jr Jtlitetics Plotki Sli po w Senior Class History Dear Father Larrick: As the old saying goes, I received your letter and was glad to hear from you. It ' s good to hear from an old friend — especially one who can bring back many pleasant memories. Which reminds me, I saw Emily Hudgins yesterday. She ' s still as congenial, pleasant and ladylike as ever. Em told me she had a darned nice time at our reunion yesterday. So had I, for that matter, since it brought back so many recollections and impressions. It reminded me of the swell job Herb Abbitt hail done in leading the Mortar and Pestle Club to a suc- cessful year. . . The pretty girls Albertson and Blachman invariably brought to the school dances. . Of the striking contrast Ormes, Plotkin and Ilirsch would present when walking together, one blond, one red and one jet black head of hair — all bobbing and weaving in perfect unison. . . The three incompatibles we called them. . . Those venerable and respected gentlemen, Rod Lucas and Muriel ' ilkerson. . . The swell handwork Lorena Shephertl could alwavs be counted on to turn in. . . The time Charlie Fore was passing out those two-for-a-nickle cigars in his effort to elect Patterson President of the Senior Class. Pat was elected in spite oi the stogies. . . . The way Dr. Forbes would quiz Barnes, Holmes and Crockett in class. Sometimes they knew Bio- chemistry and sometimes — . . . The way Dr. Reese would tangle Wills up in class and the way Mehfoud would pop out laughing. I missed seeing that gay Lothario, that gallant gen- tleman who was always willing to help damsels in distress. . . Nor did I see Daisy Mae Hughes, Skull and Bones Tommey and Punctual Lazarus. The three Joes — Dodd, Parker and Slipow — were over in a corner having a heated discussion. Each wanted the privilege of announcing the arrival of Mr. Duryea D. Gray, Jr. These and many other things brought hack memories. However, there was one thing I couldn ' t remember: Who was it that, during a Soph year, had finished a stiff e.xam, walked out of the class room, heaved a sigh of relief and went to pull out his handkerchief, pulling out along with it a pint of Cobb ' s Creek halt full? No, it wasn ' t unbreakable. {68} HERBERT M. yXBHlT ' l ' Appomattox, Virginia Kappa Psi Wake Forest College; Historian Class ' 57- ' 58; President Mortar and Pestle Club ' 38- ' 39; Honor Council ' 38- ' 39; Associate Pharmacy Editor X-Ray ' 58- ' 39; Business Manager Pharmacist ■58 - ' 39; Dean ' s List •37- ' 38 HORACE A.

This group now consists of only sixteen members, but these are artists of talent who have applied themselves pains- takingly to master the arts of pharmacy. These young people are under the able and experi- enced direction of Mr. Wortley F. Rudd who has been instrumental in molding the ethics and setting the standarils of many similar groups. Having mastered the allied arrangements of phar- macy and its background, we have now entered into the practical concert stage, l lr. Rudd drills us on internal constructions; Mr. Rowe sees that required notes are learned with mathematical precision. Since Latin terms are sometimes used, a slight knowledge of pharmaceutical Latin is required. Dr. V. G. Crockett is the business manager ot this organization and must be congratulated on having impressed the whole group with the importance of a thorough knowledge of the inner workings ol any organization.

Montgomery, Jr Ithletics Smith Johnson Rhodes Bridges Sophomore Class History ON SEPTEMBER 20, 1938, the Sophomore Class oi the School ot Pharmacy of the Methcal College of Virginia embarked upon its second year of a four- year journey along the highway of knowledge. We knew that ahead of us stood many hardships and trying experiences in the forms of tests, lectures, laboratory work, and practical examinations. Never- theless, we shut our mouths, opened our minds, and stepped into a scholastic barrage with determined, vigorous, and youthful spirit. Although this year ' s work has been rather difficult, it has not been all work and no play. Members of our class have participate tl in inter-class basketball. The Sophomore Pharmacy Class has been represented at practically every school dance given during the past year. It might even be added that many of our boys and our two girls have been frequent visitors of the many movie houses and dance halls located in and around Richmond. Our success this past year can largely be attributetl to the kind, willing, and everlasting aid given us by our beloved professors. To these men who have spent lifetimes learning and teaching a particular sub- ject so that we students could receive the essence of their work, we, this class of I94I, submit our deepest anil sincerest gralituile and devotion. 4 78 G.

These emotions were stirred and intensified by the various addresses of Dr. Sanger, Dr. Adams, and the deans of the College at the convocation e. ercise s on September 19th, in the Monumental Episcopal Church. Their faces were bright and their hearts were happy as they formed the first class of the second cen- tury of teaching in the Medical College of Virginia. When they entered classes, these Freshmen were somewhat stunned at the rapidity with which a college faculty moves. For on the 21st ot September classes were in order, recitations had begun, and they had convinced themselves of the necessity of com- mencing studies immediately. They studied and worked diligently for eight days and then, on the evening of the 29th, all met in Cabaniss Hall i ' or the purpose of meeting and being scrutinized by the faculty. The class turned out in such number, and was so intensely interested in the surroundings, that we wondered if it was the iaculty we e.xpected to meet. The music of Jimmy Hamner ' s orchestra was enjoyed throughout the entire evening by many dancing couples. On the 5th of October, after having decided to place the various responsibilities of their organization on capable shoulders, the class held a meeting and elected their officers, placing President Horace Watts at the tiller, and a group of nine worthy representa- tives as the crew, to guide their ship through the storms ahead. Now, having guided their ship into smoother waters, the Freshmen sail onward toward their objective. They work, study, and play hard, and look ever toward that day when they shall become their own pilots through the tempests of life. {80} K. R. Arritt. Covington. Va. O. B. Avers. Jr.. RoanoUe. Va.

Moore X-Rui George Mutter Wood Gardner Senior Class History A FLOOD of memories overwhelm us as we sit reminiscing upon the past three years, shadowy memories that silently come and as silently go: Those first few months at Cabaniss Hall when one small cap was the goal. . . Steady duty in complete uniform with courageous, it somewhat sporadic, attempts at cheerlulness in spite of longer hours and increased responsibility. . . Black bands which outwardly raised our status and inwardly made us feel inade- quate, unfit. We wondered if our lack of knowledge and ability could balance the equation; those bands implied so much! Through these years there has been work, punctu- ated with such social functions as teas, parties, picnics, dances. . . Duty mingled with laughter, heart-ache, and tears — for nurses, too, find time for romance, and they learn by experience which symptoms contra- indicate digitalis. . . Pride in the progress about us; the desire strong in us to show as much development as our school, for have we not seen built and first usetl the tunnels, the laundry, and the clinic; did we not see the clods broken as work began on the new hospital? . . . Mvriads of memories, some very personal memories, associated with old Memorial, now past its prime and to the outsider ;ust a building, in- competent, inconvenient, and inadequate; likened, however, by us who know, to the rugged, graying old soldier who can sav, with Paul, I have kept the faithl We have made lasting friendships here, with, per- haps, an enemy or two of shorter duration. We have come under the influence of outstanding women in our profession. We have eaten, slept, worked, played — in short, lived here tor three years. As we leave we take with us as evidence of finis on this chapter of lite, a small gold pin, a bit of sheepskin, and the permission to wear long sleeves. . . And, stored away where no one can investigate, we have our memories. . . There are few among us who do not have some regrets as these years draw to a close. May those high ideals instilled in us during this time serve as a bond to keep us together. May it be our common aim to see that through us, nursing reaches its highest pinnacle as we set out to follow the e.xample of The Lady with the Lamp. {S4 ELLA MAE BAILEY War, West Virginia Glee Club ' Se- ' jZ, ' 57- ' 38.

Skail and Bones X-R,j Fagge Holliday Junior Class History ALTHOUGH it has been more than a year since our class first joined the ranks of the Medical College of Virginia, to most of us the lime has seemed short. We came with hearts lull oi hope, eager to begin our new profession. Even though at times we became discouraged, and seemed to forget the real purpose and meaning of nursing, a word or look from some grateful patient has olten helped to brighten both present and future views. During the past year we believe that we have learned a great deal about the care of the sick, yet at times many of us felt that we knew absolutely nothing. In our Junior year we have been kept quite busy with our work in the hospital and class room, llie Faculty Reception, Hallowe ' en Party, Glee Clul) and other student IxkIv acli ' ities, however, will not permit us to say that nursing is all work and no play. We have watched with interest the activities of this year ' s very lively class of Prelims, and eagerly greeteil their arrival on duty. We will continue our work in the hope, and with the determination, that success in all ways will be ours, that the Medical College mav be proud of our Class of 1940. {95} Helen Bigger, York, S. C.

JUNIOR CLASS SCHOOL OF NURSING {% FRESHMAN CLASS SCHOOL OF NURSING History of the Preliminary Class ' P IIK nightmare ot packing was over. The many X trunks were on their way to Cabaniss Hall, and loUowing in close pursuit from North, South, East and West were forty-five Preliminaries. We arrived in various states ot mind and hotly. Some of us had encountered amusing adventures on the way, and in spite of hardships or inconveniences, still had t)ur sense of humor intact. To others the whole experience was far too new and overwhelming to realize any specific feelings. Our ages, temperaments, interests antl previous en- vironments were more varied than the contents of our trunks, but strangely enough, Just as the posses- sions within our trunks had been jumbled together to form a mass, so our group has been firmly united antl bound together. Our aim from the start seemed to lie the survival of the group, and as such we have stood firmly together in spite of the many adjustments which we have had to make. Our hope is that when September, 1941, rolls around we will compose a group of forty-five graduate nurses who will again start out together to face our last antl final examina- tions — the State Boartls. Although our stay at M. C. V. has been so short that we have not been al)le to make a history, we have hail many pleasant and interesting e.xperiences. The Convocation Exercises and the reception for new students afforded us the opportunity of meeting the laculty and mingling with the student body. The Hallowe ' en party, given in our honor by the Junior Class, proved a successful antidote for the remaining pangs ol homesickness. A most impressive Armistice Day service was conducted by Base Hospital 4). It made us realize the deep ties which bind those who fight with courage, patience and love the battle of sickness and despair. November I2th, the facultv and student body (who were not on duty) journeyetl to Bryan Park for the Annual Outing. The autumn woodland provided ample opportunity for delightful walks. The rolling meadows were the scenes of many games and outiloor sports. Doggie and marshmallow roasts held around the glowing fireplaces, and dancing on the pavilion to the strains of a nickelodeon, made a perfect ending to a most successful day. Time rushes on, and so came the end of the basketball season with the inter-class tournaments. Two of the brightest highlights oi the ppeliminar ' class have been th; day we received our uniforms and the day we went on duly. The formsr gave us all a thrill; the latter made an impression upon us, too profound to express in words. Quaking with the con- sciousness of our green inefficiency, we marched forth, under the able and sympathetic guidance of Miss Nicholson and Miss Loope, to take our place upon the wards. We are now climbing the foothills of our nursing- career. The mountains are ahjad of us. Discourage- ment ami impatience may try to stop our ascent, but let us all press onward toward our individual goals and say with the poet, Leigh Hanes, God give me moun- tains and strength to climb up I {97).

Eve, a surueon of great renown in his dav, who invited Dr. Lonn to address the students at the Georgia Medical College in 1848. In introducing the speaUer. Dr. Eve said: I introduce no distinguished individual. Our guest todav comes unheralded. No great honors are heaped upon his head. He is a plain practical doctor. He comes, however, well equipped for the duties ot his profession. . . . He has already mastered a scientific solution that when properly learned will entirely revolutionize the field of surgerv. I introduce to you Dr. Crawford W. Long of Jefferson whom posterity will honor as the very first man to apply practical anaesthesia successfully to surgical operations. . . . To him will be erected a monument of love and honor in grateful hearts, all over the world, more enduring than brass and lasting than marble. . . Born in Danielsville. Georgia, November 1. 1815, Crawford Long received his degree of Doctor of Medicine from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1859. Until his death, June 16. 1878, he remained essentially a country doctor. He performed the first operation under ether anesthesia in Jefferson, Georgia, on Alarch 50, 1842.

' Throughout the year the Admhiisli-atidu ol ' the Student Body has devoted its efforts to the interests of the students, and has attempted to elevate the student morale to a higher plane. There was little endeavor to make radical changes, for it was believed that any such changes of time-honored established customs might prove detrimental. A policy of conservatism was followed by this Administration. The most outstanding accomplishment was the unprecedented action of presenting to the Administrative Council of the College and Faculty a timely and composite picture of student opinion which was obtained from the Student Body at large. Through this orderly presentation a better and closer relationship was engendered between Faculty and Students. A remarkable spirit of co-operation and democracy was prevalent. This very fine spirit was enhanced by the Mem- bers of the College Administrative Council who ha ' e a most thorough under- standing of student acti ' ities and problems. Much credit and thankfulness must be extended to Dr. W. T. Sanger, President of the College; Dr. Lee Sutton. Jr., Dean of Medicine; Dr. Harry Bear, Dean of Dentistry; Mr. Wortley Rudd, Dean of Pharmacy, and Miss Anne Parsons, Dean of Nursing. It was through their splendid attitude that students and faculty were drawn together in a more unified group. In brief the main points brought forward by the students were along these lines. More rigid entrance requirements for admission to this school which will be comparable to those of any graduate school and by this means reduce the number of failures within our ranks. To establish a more personal relationship between students and members of the faculty which will in turn result in more individualistic instruction. In general it was thought that by having a happier student at present, the College wouitl ha c a more loyal alumnus in the future. With the guidance of an untiring, devoted Administration and faculty, new physical plants, and more tlioroughly trained students, it is hoped that a new- era has come for the second century which will (inil the Old Medical College ol Virginia a New and Greater jMedical College of ' irginia, making more progress in the new century than it did in the past one. This year each student event was planned for the enjoyment and entertain- ment oi the entire Student Body. No little effort was put forward to make each student satisfied and happy that he was a member of the Student Government Association. iini . {123} ■•irea i .r l ,e m.

Kvidence ot this is about us on every side. Therefore it is only fitting that the editor should choose, as the untler- lying theme of his publication, the process of transition from okl to new, by honoring time-worn traditions, accepting advanced theories. Chance, by permitting us to be a part of two centuries, has contributed her share towards making us better able to appreciate this evolution. Along with the above, a good effort has been exerted to compile within these pages, for each student, a permanent record of his life here for the past four years; a fair attempt has been made to summarize his activities in a manner acceptable to him. That this was no mean ambition is verified by the scope of the volume itself, but with the excellent material at hand, and the splendid co-opera- tion of an alert and earnest staff, the goal was reached with minimum discomfiture. {VZi} EDITORIAL STAFF Thomas S.

A close check of the building program of the school, of the work of the various departments of the four schools, and of the reports from the administrative office has been kept and faithfully reported by the staff members. In addition, the staff has striven to collaborate in collecting clearly and concisely into one publication matters of interest to each of the four schools, as well as to record events of interest from all fields of science. Old features such as Cap and Cape, Last Week in the Journal, and Pharmaceutical Review have been continued, and to these have been added such new features as Facts Not Rumors, Parade of Opinion, Nursing News and Richmond Today. The editor and business manager of Skull and Boncf deserve a great deal of credit for their excellent work this year.

One of many institutions of human well-being, our own buildings and her products lie em- bosomed in the immortality of the spirit of scientific progress, so well exemplified in the drama of medicine begun long ago in the days of Egyptian and Assyro-Babylonian rule. In every department of advancement in this era of progress, recognition of the fundamental strife in producing sturdy stepping-stones for the various specialties is emphasized. Indeed, in every page of M. C. V. ' s century of progress, we pay tribute to our basic scenes and their productiveness in the course ot medical history. Perhaps our earliest basic materials were unraveled in the minds of Egyptians and Assyro- Babylonians long before 450 B. C. ' e find their knowledge embodied in different compends or encyclopedias inscribed in Hieratic script or papyri. The text of Eber ' s Papyrus is well arranged, containing prescriptions and recognizable accounts of parasitic infections, also a very sensible paragraph on the treatment of fatty tumors. Even then a small pediatric section was written. The Oath of the Hindu Physician is one of the earliest medical codes of ethics. Its opening words are indicative ot the highest ideals in human well-being, viz.: You must be chaste and abstemious — speak the truth — not eat meat — devote yourself to the healing of the sick even if your life be lost by your work. Chinese medicine had been static at this time, having followed for four thousand years the aphorisms of Hoang-ti, who died 2600 B. C. The true pioneering period of medicine began with the Greeks, the founders of medical science. Aesculapius was associated with its earliest development, to be followed later by Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. Aesculapius lived before the Trojan War, 1200 B. C, to which his sons went as surgeons to the Grecian army. The Temples of Aesculapius were founded and scientific knowledge was assembled, consisting of certain hygienic rules and the use of a few medicines such as emetics and cathartics. Hippocrates introduced the immortal spirit in medicine which is now a part of every physi- cian. He established for mankind the basic principles of medicine, making very careful and extended observations and constructing theories only upon the basis of proven facts. Hippocrates ' teachings to his many followers were an emphasis in a physician ' s guiding himself by theories, but also to notice symptoms closely and to treat each indication. This basically is the principle (hat Osier taught and practiced at the bedside in the nineteenth century. Some of Hippocrates ' works dealt with such subjects as hygiene, catharsis, wounds, fractures, dislocations, and epidemics. His two principles of treatment were the expectant and, to a subordinate extent, the cure of like by unlike — conlrarla conlrariis curanhir. Although definite progress had begun, dissection was still forbidden and only women took care of obstetrical or gynecological cases. Some historian t)nce said that this was a great oppor- tunity for womanhood ' s bid for scientific achievement. Aristotle ' s advances in natural sciences also play a part in this drama. His aphorism, The philosopher should begin with medicine and the physician should end with philosophy, is well rooted in medical minds. The scene shifts to the Alexandrian School, 324 B. C, when the Ptolemies reigned over Egypt following the death of Alexander the Great. The Alexandrian library was established with Aristotle in charge. Study, investigation and experiment were carried on with unwearying activity. A medical school was organized which lasted so Umg and gained so great a reputation that even in the time of Galen, five hundretl years later, it gave one the greatest prestige to have studied at Alexandria. Dissections were allowed and under such stimulation two great anatomists arose who made remarkable advances in that science. These men were Herophilus and Erasistratus, the former of whom dissected over two hundretl human bodies and was first to distinguish the nerves as organs of sensation. He described the brain with great accuracy, and his name is made familiar by the Torcular ilerophili. Erasistratus, the latter of these anatcmiists, discovered the tricuspid valve and was a keen observer in medicine and surgery. Celsus, who Ined in Rome in the first century A. D., was a notable scholar, thoroughly acquainted with the work of his predecessors. He compiled many volumes which supply us with events that took place at that time. Wo learn that operations for hernia, calculus and cataract were performed and that the ligature had been introtlucetl to stop hemorrhage in wounds. Hydrocele was treated by excising the part; aneurysm, by ligature above and below the lesion; hare-lip was cured by a special operation, and amputations were performed in cases of the greatest necessity. From the purity and elegance of his Latin, Celsus has been named the Medical Cicero. Dioscorides of Alexandria wrote the first authentic treatise on Materia Medica. The physicians of Rome were too fond of creating a sensation, and received too tamely the theories of their predecessors so that no progressive steps were made in Rome. Some of these physicians of this great city would set up small schools and lecture to all the pupils they could gather. It was the custom to bid for a great number of students by prcmiising to fit them for practice within six months. At that time, too, the system of poly-pharmacy, which originated with the empirics at Alexandria, was greatly in vogue at Rome. While medical science was in this state, Galen, the Wonderful Man, came to Rome in A. D. 166. Galen mentions that the spirit of Apollo came to him in a dream and guitled him into the study of medicine. He was an indefatigable experimenter and a prolific writer. Galen tried to arouse an interest in anatomy and dissection and to improve the scientific and moral status of his profession. He followed very closely the physiological anil pathological theories of Hippocrates. Inflammations, to Galen, were caused by the introduction of the blootl into a place where it did not belong. Galen ' s contributions in anatomy, physiology and pathology, with the principles of ' { 150 ' Hippocrates, represent what was taught and accepted unhesitatingly for the next fifteen hundred years — with the exception of certain advances made in anatomy and some contributions to medicine by the Arabs. The Post-Gallenic Period marked the ebbing of the spirit of medicine. Following Galen, trom this time on into the fifteenth century, the Age of Coma in medicine prevailed. Medicine tell into the hands ot the clergy, who depended fully as much upon prayers and relics as upon physic, and otherwise used their knowledge to impose upon ignorant and superstitious patients. The prac- titioner was regartletl with scant respect and the law required hard and degrading things of him. Italy alone survived to carry on in medicine. Her sixteen unixersities ot learning and her various cities as Milan, Padua and Venice patronized letters and learnin g, and the art ot medicine was encouraged. The famous schools at Salerno and Monte Cassino were then brilliantly sup- ported. Dissection was not allowed and teaching was entirely from the works of Hippocrates, Galen and Avicenna. The Greek minds were still active during this Age of Coma. Oribasius made compilations of medical knowledge. Aetius, followed by Alexander of Tralles in Lydia, and Paul of Aeglnia, helped preserve and add to medical achievement. The Arabs helped treat this Age of Coma with such antidotes as the Academy of Bagdad, founded by Haroun-al-Raschid, the Charlemagne of the East. Rhazes in 900 A. D. was put in charge of the grand hospital of Bagdad and conducted it with great skill for many years. His great work is entitled Continens and contains selections from ancient writers upon nearly every branch of medicine and surgery, as well as his own observations and wisdom. Rhazes was the first to describe measles and smallpox. Avicenna, Prince of Physicians, of Khorasson, was almost as great a contributor as Galen. He wrote the Canon, a classic and elegant work, the textbook of physicians for six hundred years. The Arabs In Spain were also active In medicine al their school In Cordova. The Cordovan Library was then the largest In existence, numbering 225,000 volumes. Two of the most prominent medical writers at this time were Alblcus and Avenzoar. The former was distinguished as a sur- geon and obstetrician. The latter, Avenzoar, was the most original observer ot the Arabs. He added to the knowledge of diseases of the chest, describing pericarditis and inflammation oi the mediastinum. The Renaissance of Medicine followed revival of the noteworthy teachings ot the past. Universities grew in number, Greek writings were published widely, and the universities oi Paris, Montpellier and Bologna now gained great reputation. In Englantl Thomas Linacre founded the CoUeije of Physicians and Surgeons in London and established Chairs tit Medicine at Oxford and Cambridge. In anatomy the ban upon dissection was raised and Mondino, a professor at Bologna, in 1315 dissected a human body before his pupils. This was the beginning of anatomy as a science, and Sylvius, Vesallus, Fallopius, Fabrlclus and Eustachius followed with their great discoveries. Vesa- lius was the master spirit of anatomy, and he made himself the greatest anatomist of the age. Colombo, then Servetus, who discovered the pulmonary circulation, followed. Great contributors were the artists and painters of this era, such as Leonardo da Vinci, the creator ot artistic anatomy and ot anatomical illustration. Phllippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus Paracelsus was a great believer in Independent thinking. He introduced chemical therapeutics and associated many diseases with condltums oi nature, such as my.xoedema and Alpine goiter. Raynalde, Roslen and Maurlceau peered into the problems of obstetrics. Surgery really begins with Ambr oise Pare who brought new ideas and infused new life Into surgery. Starting as a barber boy, he finally arose to be surgeon to four kings. He became famous for using the ligature in wounds and thus facilitated amputations. He added greatly to the treatment of gun-shot wounds, and even made important contributions to obstetrical science. Cardan and Gesner introduced many teachings ot the past. Sanctorius then invented the trocar and cannula and tracheotomy was then done. William Harvey in 1615 lectured to his students on the circulation of the blood at about the time of Shakespeare ' s death. Sydenham analyzetl those choreic jerky movements noted in young girls. John Hunter advanced surgery and put this field on an equal basis with medicine. Jenner ' s victory over smallpox and introduction of Immunization was a great step in pre- ventive medicine. Philip PInel and Dorothea Dix added to the solution of mental disease. Auenbrugger ' s anti Laennec ' s names are well known to every medical student. Crawford Long ' s ether anesthesia was discovered following the significance of ether parties then in vogue. Semmelweiss was the great savior of the expectant mother, by putting puerperal sepsis to shame by using sterile operative procedures. Pasteur, Koch and Lister are In the minds of mankind universally. Entering Into the latter part of the nineteenth century in our own United States, we cannot forget the surgical contributions of William Halsted, first professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins. Asepsis, blood transfusions, the Halsted operating table, and various operations will keep the name of Halsted alive as long as surgery prevails. And finally, we wish to have with us in these hundred years of progress the name of a physician-teacher whose principles and practices of medicine are eagerly followed by medical students throughout the country, namely. Sir William Osier, a Canadian by birth. His great con- tributions include diligent observation ot ' the patient at the bedside, a new style in medical litera- ture which simulated essay-writing, which proved interesting and more instructive. Students at Pennsylvania and Johns Ilopklns, and then at Oxford also, received the practical Instruction at the bedside which stressed keen observation, palpation, auscultation and other Investigations of disease. Thus we note the fundamentals of Hippocrates were stressed by Osier and may such evidence lead us to always remember antl pursue those benevolent teachings of great men In the scene of the field of medicine wJiich reallv discloses the endeavors anil search for advancing human well-being. { 151 } SJn Spp ' ciation Indiviclual hiding untlor the book — Chid Bnlton, arlisl oi X ' lrginia Engraving Company.

IVA CHILD READS PAPER ON PREG- NANCY, LABOR, AND THE PUERPERIUM Famed Chest Specialist Addresses M. C. V. Group Tn an auditorium filled to ca- pacity, with Sophomores crowd- inii, out all available standing room, Dr. Lobar P. Neumonia. noted diagnostician and chest specialist, addressed the M. C. V. student body and faculty. Dr. Neumonia, a graduate of the Havahart School of Diag- nosis, received his pcst-graduate training at the Ushomee Hcs- pital in iMissouri. During the war he devoted all his energy to the French Front. His work is the topic of every progressive school- The methods of physical diag- nosis, as outlined by Dr. Neu- monia, are, to say the least, revo- lutionary. At the same time, it must be said in fairness to the students at M. C. V. that at least the present Seniors have anticipated this great work and have shown definite tendencies in the direction ot this new and improved method of diagnosis. Briefly, the secret of success in the diagnosis of any disease lies in the development of a super- super-sense. In order to ac- complish this, the student must train himself for years. The first essential is to get a divorce of the common ordinary iive senses we are supposed to have (divorces at student discount rates can be had in Reno) from the atmos- phere of the diagnostic room. In order to aid the novice, a navy blue scarf folded thrice upon it- self is secured around the eyes by means of jiffy-baby-diaper-pins. A clamp or clothespin is then applied to the nose; divers plugs do very well to shut off the membrana tvmpani from the ethereal vibrations. Nothing need be done really about the gustatory sense. The hands are protected by a pair of heavy gloves — preferably such as are ordinarily seen in a fluoroscopy room. The examiner is now- ready for the patient. For best results, the patient should be placed in a room as far removed from the consulting room as possible. It adds greatly to the patient ' s peace ot mind and comfort. A system of amplifiers and telephones connects the con- sulting room with that of the patient. The examiner now attaches a small instrument to the mastoid process of his left ear and, through his phone, in- structs the patient to tell his story. Of course the doctor cannot hear what the patient is saying, but that little gadget on his left mastoid can. The (Tarn lo piit]e 4, column 2) HEART DISEASE IS DISCUSSED GYNECOLOGISTS SPOT NEW DISEASE OF WOMEN Those morbid creatures who read the obituary columns in JAMA have probably been im- pressed with the frequency with which Heart Disease, Coro- nary Arteriosclerosis, Hyper- tension and iMyocardial In- farction appear as the cause of death among physicians. We have tried to determine the cause for the frequent appear- ance ot heart disease in this noble profession. The literature has helped us but little Being noble (?) Seniors now, however, very old and very wise, we think we can explain this high mor- bidity. We personally feel quite confident that our theorv is right. It has often been said by learned men that worry and care predispose to hvpertension and heart disease. Of course, every- one worries and cares these days. But let us consider the evolution of the medico ' s troubles. You will soon agree with us whole- heartedly—unless you, too, are a medico and have no heart left. Our story goes back to dear old high school days. You just came proudly off the platform following graduation exercises. Mother and Sister and Grand- mother and Cousin Cora are all there, their hands red trom un- necessary applause, and all insist on kissing you — also unneces- sarily. You get home, and in the evening Father takes vou to his office to have heart or man-to-m you. Of course y on to college, John, before very long yi back here and ta Y. heart-to- talk with practice!

College is not as much fun for you as ft is for Bill. While Bill pUiys football and becomes the idol of every campus qvieen, you spend your time with flasks, crucibles, impossibly small weights and odorous fumes. But somehow the years pass and you are a Senior. Your record in college is not too worse — you worked hard. You begin your Senior year with an extensive correspondence, and without knowing why, you are exc ited. Good schools, bad schools, two- year schools, and four-year schools, in town and out of town — all receive requests for {Turn to paoc 4, column J) Every interne is familiar with the type of female patient com- monly referred to as a Crud (or Moravian Crud, to use the generic name). When asked what is wrong, she usually makes a wide sweep of the hand w hich covers head, neck, chest, abdo- men and extremities, and then proceeds to rattle off a list of symptoms which fully describe every conceivable type of intra- thoracic and Intra-abdominal pathology, with a few pains in the legs thrown in for good measure. Inside the hospital, she materially shortens the life of the house physician, who lies awake nights thinking how he can best sneak past her bed when making rounds. Outside the hospital, she drifts from doctor to doctor, adding a bitter drop to each man ' s cup of expe- It is intereslina to hear that 01i ' er Wendell Holmes, equally renowned as a man of letters and as a pioneer In American medi- cine, has this to say about his encounter with a member of the species : What I call a good patient is one who, having found a good physician, sticks to him till he dies. But there are many good people who are not what I call good patients. I was once re- quested to call on a lady suffer- ing from nervous and other symptoms. It came out in the prellminarv conversational skir- mish, half medical, half social, that I was the twenty-sixth member of the faculty into w hose arms, professionally speak- ing, she had successively thrown herself Not being a believer in such a rapid rotation of scientific crops, I gently deposited the burden, commending it to the care of a number twenty-seven, and him. whoever he might be, to the care of Heaven. — T h- Interne.

The cervix is then soft. The blood pressure should be taken at intervals; once a week is not too often. In private prac- tice, but if you are working in the clinic, it is all right just to check up every six months or so. Likewise, the patient ' s urine must be examined regularly in order to determine whether she has been having convulsions or anything. This Is usually done before delivery, but if necessary it can be done during the puer- perium Instead. Incidentally, pregnancy urine is loaded to the scuppers with all kinds of fancy gonads and things, known as A. P. L., but vou can ' t make anything out of ' this. I know; I once walked all over Canal Street with a gallon bottle of it, and all I could get was a dime for the bottle. It is moreover very important to make a thorough examination of the patient ' s pelvis in order to know what may be expected at delivery. The standard meas- urements should be made, and If possible an X-ray study, using three-, four-, or even five- dimensional pictures. It will be seen that the patient falls into one of the following classes: (1) Anthropoid — A friendly type; likes peanuts, also pop- corn; kind of sleazy, especially around the edges; usually mar- ried, however, and likes home life.

A colored woman expecting a child dlil not liave tlie time to make the usual arrangements for the services ol a mldwile before the arrival of the baby. A city ambulance quickly carried her to the hospital where her child was born. Returning to her home In two weeks, iinxious Iriends antl neigh- bors gathered around the woman and baby. The woman conversa- tionally said to them: You colored folks are foolish having mid- wl ' es come to the house and pay them for their services. Why, I went to a nice wdilte hospital and young white doctors and nurses took care of me. They do e ' erything for you and don ' t charge you a nickel. Why, they even name your baby for you!

The CROSS RAY TIMES PATHOGENESIS OF THE DOUBTFUL RALE EXPLAINED Perhaps it would be well to outline the different tvpes ol rales and their origin before dis- cussing in detail the topic ot this paper. There are many difterent types ot rales: The coarse, the hne, the moist, the dry, the sibi- lant, the crackling, the musical, the sonorous, and many different combinations ot the above. Each has a different origin, so we are told, and from the diagnostic- prognostic standpoint, it would l)e wise for the Seniors who read this article to consult any ot the standard textbooks on acoustics as related to chest-sounds. (The Juniors can wait until next year. ) The coarse rale is an old-time iavorite. Sometimes when it becomes coarser than ever you hear it reterred to as a rhonchus. That gives you a clue — it is usually formed in a bronchus. Once you hear it you know that you have heard something. The Senior student with this finding fresh in his mind can look through Cecil, Norris and Landis and possibly Cabbot, and after reading these three short pamph- lets can come to a diagnosis of the case. Laboratory work (when confirmed by a techni- cian) will aid greatly in ruling out certain things. The moist rale Is present when there is moisture in the lung, like after drowning or in pulmonary edema of other origin. The dry rale is not an entity in itself; it usually has some other qualifica- tion. The musical rale is ex- tremely interesting. Since we moved into the new dormitory, we prefer spending an hour with the stethoscope planted on a musical-rale-chest than sitting in our room and listening to the radio. On the whole, the sounds in the two situations are about the same: You hear a mixture of musical notes, high pitched, low pitched, whistling, wheezing, rattling, all mixed up: they fasci- nate you and you listen. The pathology behind the musical rale is varied. Sometimes it is caused by the swallowing, or rather inhaling of a whistle. Sometimes it is allergic; when in doubt, do skin tests. We left the discussion of the fine and crepitant rales to the last because thev are closely re- lated to the ' loubtful rale which is the topic of this paper. The hne rale is characterizea by its unusual shyness when con- fronted with a brand new stetho- scope of a brand new Senior. It ' hides in the most obscure corners where no one would ever think of looking for it. such as the infraclavicular region and supra- scapular region. Consequently, the patient with a history of night-sweats, loss of weight, spontaneous pleurisy and hem- optosis shows a completely nega- tive examination of the chest and the Senior makes the diagnosis of neurasthenia. When the con- ( Turn lo page 5, column 3) PATHOLOGISTS FEAR BANKRUPTCY OF CULINARY TERMS Food and edibles make up a large part of medical lingo — not onlv when vou are telling Mamma how to fix Baby ' s for- mula, but even in learned circles of white-bearded profs. The case is one of cervical adenitis: You begin bv describing the gland involved as situated In such and such a place, the size of a goose- egg or a small orange. Then the surgeon arrives and incises the thing; on the chart appears a note — 5cc of creamy pus ob- tained. Then in any circle of clinicians you are bound to hear such ex- pressions as: Coffee-grounds vomitus, or anchovy paste vomitus; Pea-soup stool and rice-water stool; Prune juice sputum; Cafe-au-Iait complexion, and olive complexion; Port-wine stains; Strawberry tongue and beety tongue. If you are in the habit of visit- ing the morgue you are no doubt familiar with expressions such as: Chicken-fat clot ; Sugar-icing Iner and honev- comb liver; Strawberry gall bladder; Nutmeg liver; Caseous tuberculosis; Swiss-cheese endometrium; Bread and butter pericardium; Sago spleen; Chocolate cysts. And then they want to know m e tl i c a 1 students lose weiliht!— Or do thev? I don ' t like the looks of your husband, said the doctor. Neither do I, the wife re- plied, but he ' s good to his children. Insurance Doctor: How old was your father when he died? A p plicani (determined to to pass) : One hundred and four. Insurance Doctor: What did he die of? Applicant: Strained his heart playing football. The doctor was ' lslting Rastus ' wife to deliver her twelfth offspring. While riding along with Rastus he saw a duck in the road. Doctor: Whose duck is that? Rastus: That ain ' t no duck. That ' s the stork with his legs worn off. Many a hiccough is a message from departed spirits. A scientist says it is the lower part of the face, not the eyes, that gives away one ' s thoughts. Especially when one opens the lower part of the face. Specialist: I ' m sorry, but I cannot do anything for you, as vour complaint is hereditary. Mv fee is ten dollars. Caller: Thanks.

WHERE TIME STANDS STILL According to the newest mag- azines in our doctor ' s outer office, business was never better, and 1959 may prove even a bigger year. ETIOLOGy OF PREGNANCY I was talking, just previous to her discharge from the hospital, to a colored woman who had re- cently given birth to her six- teenth child. Well, Aunt Susan, I said, we will be looking for you again in about sixteen or eighteen months. Na w, suh, ' ' she replied . Ain ' t goin ' to be no more chil- lun at our house. But why? I asked, as if not thinking sixteen quite enough. ' Cause. she retorted, me and my ol ' man done toun ' out what ' s causin ' ' em. MODESTY MIXED UP A patient was told to buy some pills of assatetida. She sent her young daughter to the drugstore tor the pills. The daughter, not wishing to say assafetida. asked the druggist for some rumptiietida pills. SURE HE WASN ' T When 1 was graduated from medical school, I was only twenty-two and looked younger. My first interne assignment was obstetrics. A patient in labor was admitted and I was to ex- amine her, which included a rectal examination tor cervical dilation. The patient doubted me when I assured her I was a full-fledged doctor. On attempt- ing a rectal examination, she said: I thought so. You aren ' t a doctor; you don ' t even know where the baby comes Irom. Imagine my embarrass- ment when she ordered me out of the room and asked that only a real dt)ctor examine her. THE HANDICAP A young wife, wishing to an- nounce the birth of her first child to a friend in a distant city, tele- graphed: Isaiah 9:6. Which passage begins: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is ■liven. Her friend, not familiar with the Scripture, said to her hus- band: Margaret evidently has a boy who weighs nine pounds and six ounces, but whv on earth did they name him Isaiah? NOT A DROP IN THE BUCKET Is that man rich? Is he! He ' s so rich he doesn ' t know his son ' s in college.

PHONETIC LATIN A student in a New England school had flunked in Latin. In the quiz the student was called upon to give a written transla- tion of the verse below. There are Latin scholars reading this who will be moved to tears: Isabili. Heres ago, Fortibus es in arc. Noces, Mari, Thebi trux Vatis in em paz a dux. After weeks of eff ' ort, the student came forth with the following. It is not surprising that the instructor read it to the class: I say, Billie, here ' s a go, Forty busses in a row. No, says Mary, they be trucks. What is in em? Packs o ' ducks. {Continued from paijc 1) physician can thus take a two- hour nap. When the patient is finished telling all about his symptoms, he is of course greatly relieA ' ed — they call it mental catharcis. The examiner then proceeds with the examination. With the gloved hand a very impartial impression is gained of the patient ' s general habitus. Inspection is done away with — the factor of personal error is too great and would only serve to prejudice the examiner; that ' s why he is blindfolded. Since no one really can tell very much by percussion, this procedure is also eliminated. The super-super- stethoscope is then used — an instrument designed to convey what it picks up not to the ears, but directly to the gray-matter of the frontal lobe. The examination over, the pa- tient proceeds to dress and the doctor to undress. The new method requires practice, ol course, but is really much sim- pler than the older cumbersome method. The resulting diagnosis is about as accurate as that ob- tained by any other means. And since the Rx will be pheno- barbital anyway, it really doesn ' t matter. Hungry persons drive fast and dangerouslv. savs a doctor. Also those who are no longer thirsty. {Continued Jrom page 1) application blanks, and they all send them. You spend time and money tor pictures that don ' t look like you and then you go to work filling out blanks and mail- ing them. Then you go around annoying your best and your worst friends and profs with re- quests for letters of recommen- dation. That done, you begin to wait. Every day becomes an adventure and your blootl pres- sure ri ses so many millimeters as you near home — is there or is there not a letter for you? Soon after Christmas the fun really begins; now not only does your blood pressure rise, you begin to lose weight, get cranky; you have nightmares. Interviews here today, rejections from there tomorrow — so on until April (if you are lucky). You finally get an acceptance; all is well and you get drunk to celebrate the occasion (thereby lowering your resistance). And just about the time when all looks nice and peaceful, the one school where you really wanted to go to all the time sends you an accept- ance — and, having already signed one contract, you cannot take it (another tug at your heart-strings). Then it begins — but really. Your first year at medical school ; it ' s so very exciting, but, oh. those bones! Anatomy has you in a dither, chemistry is all mixed up, and as for neuro- anatomy — better stop. So you worry instead of working and up goes your B. P. and stretch goes mvocardium. (Whose law Tsthaf?) The second vear, vou begin calmly and conYidently. Noth- ing can faze you now. Then a Dr. Main is on your trail — you hear dogs moaning and frogs croaking in your sleep, and dream the little red blood cell borrow- ing chloride ions from neighbor plasma. And when you think that you have mastered physi- ology, along comes pharma- cology: Mr. John. Mr. John, how manv minims in a barrel of water ? (All said with a smile. ) And when the merry month of May arrives you find to your horror that for two semes- ters you had meant to open Boyd or whatever pathology book you bought, but somehow you ne ' er got around to it. There is no sense in talking about the Junior year. We sug- gest that all Juniors have electro- cardiograms and blood pressures taken in September and then again in May — just to prove our point. We just summarize by saying: Juniors worry a great deal about a great many things, especially about heart trouble and labor. And then you alwavs hear it said that the years ot hardship are over after your third year, that Seniors were created for the sole purpose of enjoying them- selves and annoying Juniors. Well, we know otherwise. The Senior ' s mission in life is worry, and then more worry. Your first two months of Senior life are busy; you again start extensive correspondence. First you write for application blanks for in- terneships. then you fill them out and send them out; you haunt all those gracious profs who made the mistake of being friendly with you and give them a long list of places where they have to send letters of recom- mendation. You storm the office for transcripts — you are, on the whole, a very undesirable soul. The rest of your Senior year is devoted exclusively to worry. In the first place — will you get the interneship you have your heart set on? In the second place — will vou get an interne- ship? In the third place (last but by no means least)— will you graduate? Assuming your worries on counts one and two have been relieved (you lucky guy!) and you have an interne- ship, the third count still looms high and mightv up to and through the last day at medical school. You are afraid to breathe (practically speaking) lest you be called up for orals; and those days between final exams and the final decree — you ' ve got to have what it takes! And when you come back from commencement exer- cises, proudly waving your di- ploma, you suddenly remember State Boards! Alasl- — who can remember the branches ot the external carotid? (Where are those precious pneumonics?) By the time you are ready tor your white uniform you have insulted your coronaries no end. They would probably forgive you if you could live a sane lite — but can you? Ask Johnny! The interne ' s life is not the happiest lot. We won ' t go into the grue- some details — but just to men- tion a few items: Attempts to make your three-year-old suit do a fourth year; attempts to get a decent residency and not getting it : attempts to ' tell Mabel that you still love her but are too doK-tired to go walking in the park; attempts to tell the folks back home that you are just an ignorant M. D. and not a magician. And then the fun begins when you open your office and begin waiting for pa- tients to flock in and try to dodge the bill collectors! But, of course, we are not complaining, even though the coronaries are. We reallv love it (?) and would do it all over again — mavbe!

The patient should be exam- met! on admission with the view to determining what degree ot dilation ot the cervix has been accomplished. Some operators like also to determine whether t iie presentation is ' ertex or breecn. but this can always be learned by examining the baby alter delivery. It is called caput succedaneum. A rectal examination should be done, except in certain in- stances: (a) In rural districts, it ' you once attempt a rectal, you will be discharged immediately tor making such an obvious mis- take; (b) in certain institutions, a rectal examination overly ex- cites the visiting staff, so that a sterile vaginal may be don e in- stead. The idea is simple: With a sterile glove on one or both hands and a potato-sack tied around your teet, make a run- ning start, blow your nose rapidly, sweep your arms across the tloor, avoid the rectum, and quick-like-a-mouse reach in and pat the baby on the head, of course without introducintj anv germs. {That ' s why it should be done so rapidly.) If you have any furuncles or chancres on any part of your body, it is better to drape the patient be- lorehand. Thus you will determine that the patient is pregnant, or else that she is not ; or that the cervix is almost fully dilated (this gen- erally peps up the house staff, whether it ' s so or not, and is good to say in a pinch; anyhow, nearly every patient will pass through this stage sooner or later, it she lives, provided she is really pregnant); or that it is a breech presentation; or that the prostate is hypertrophied; or that the baby has a darned bm nose; or that the mother lufs a darned big. With this iniormation you are ready for the delivery. The modern technique in- cludes analgesia, which is to say, atl ministering certain medica- tion for the purposes of (a) (|uietinii the ward, (b) showing the baby where it gets off at, (c) getting some sleep tor a change, (d) because you read about it in a magazine, or (e) because one of those salesmen was here again. In fact, modern mothers have come to expect a certain amount of real pleasure out of labor; but remember, women have been delivering themselves naturally in the oods and in the fields tor thousands of years. Don ' t let the civilization angle carry you ofi ; look at Europe. If you must do something, though, you can keep pretty busy with rectal ether, without much danger of getting any- where. It doesn ' t alter things much but introduces the bright, pungent odor ot ether into the labor room, together with some not necessarily bright or pun- gent. In addition, there are ilifferent colored capsules, which the patient generally vomits, so that vou can be guided bv the color ' of the labor room walls. Now you wait. It takes quite a little time, as a matter of fact. just wait. However, if there is something troubling you — if a thirteen- year-old baby is trying to give birth to a twelve-year old mother, for example, you should call in a consultant. This is known as dystocia — from dys, meaning Can ' t, and tocia, meaning Imagine. The con- sultant will go over the case carefully, and then he will wait. He wilfsay: It takes quite a little time as a matter of fact. lust wait. The nurses will call you when the perineum begins to bulge, or in any event, when caput begins to appear. Anyhow, you ' re sure to be called if the baby is deliv- ered in bed. Above all, do not worry. Remember, women have been delivering themselves natu- rally in the fields, etc.. for years. Meanwhile, decide how you can aid the parturient. It is up to you to determine, not how much she can endure, but how much she can accomplish; how much sleep you can still get; how much she can pay. You will then apply forceps, or do an episiotomy, or something; you may even do a version, if neces- sary, unless it is already a breech, in which case you must follow the first version by a second version — too often one forgets this. Do not apply for- ceps to the breech, if avoidable. Above all, do not interfere un- duly; remember, women have been delivering themselves natu- rally tor some time. If nothing else works, do a section — either the classical sec- tion or the low flap. (It isn ' t quite clear what this low flap thing is, but I hear them advo- cating it right and left; in gen- eral, I suppose, it is somewhat lower than a high flap — what- ever the hell that is.) By all means, give something to produce a third-stage uterine contraction a marvelous phe- nomenon which appeared only with the advent of the chemical industr — but, above all, make sure there is nothing in or near the uterus when you do so. for whatever there is, is doomed to stay, possibly for years. A colleague of mine once used a product called Neosuperhetero- dyne, and the next thing he knew the uterus had clamped down mightily on the baby ' s ankle, a couple of sponges, three fingers of his left hand, the placenta, and a piece of baked apple left o ' er from lunch. He never re- covered any of these objects until postmortem. The perineum must receive your close attention, for upon your skill here depends the pa- tient ' s marital happiness. (She would hardly know what this signifies, but her husband does, and you may go far toward re- ducing the incidence of lues — if it is not already too late.) Always put in a plenty of su- tures; however, patients regard stitches as vaguely contume- lious, therefore always assert that she had only one stitch. It doesn ' t make much difference where vou put the sutures — in tact, I don ' t suppose anyone could tell, anyway, except those who understand the anatomy of the perineum, and he ' s been dead for many years. The main thing is to avoid harp-stringing the rectum, for this on later examination will give an em- barrassing pizzicato, while at other times the effect is posi- tively Aeolian. The chief contraindication to whatever you ' re doing is letal distress. Place the ear to the abdomen and listen intently. If you hear an angry shouting, or If there are murmurs of plebis- cite, plebiscite, then you must give way at once. Remember, women have been delivering themselves naturally In the fields, etc., for vears. —From TlwTcxthook Xa ' cr Puhllslu-d. Chapter III.

The doubtful rale has made its appearance on the examination of all patients who follow one with the fine crackling rales. No one but the Senior student hears them. The consultants all shake their heads, and under the Senior ' s impression of apical tuberculosis with recommenda- tion for chest X-ray, write a very ungrateful note that there are no findings suggestive of pul- monary pathology at the pres- ent; X-ray can be delayed. The doubtful rale is therefore the product of a doubtful Senior. The acoustics of this rale are not widely understood because no one but Seniors have ever trou- bled to untangle it. It seems to us that following prolonged ear- strain, which necessarily follows when a Senior is trying to hear a fine rale which the consultant has just pointed out and which he completely missed, the stu- dent lowers the threshold of his hearing mechanism. Every time the stethoscope is placed in his ears, he begins to hear a fine crackle (the bell of the stetho- scope need not necessarily be on a patient ' s chest). lunior students on the whole are quite unaware for the time beinii of the existence ot the doubtful rale. They still have the advantage of doing physical examinations on their patients after everyone on the service has done so and written down their findings. We have no doubt that next year at this same time a second article on the further development of the doubtful rale will appear in this column when our present Juniors will be bewildered Seniors. Dr. Barnhart: Ah, you are looking very much better today, Mr. Potter Potter: Yes, Doc, I followed the instructions on that bottle of medicine vou t;ave me. Dr. Barnfxart: Indeed? That Is fine. But let me see — what were thev? Potter] Keep the bottle well corked. Mrs. Axtater: My. It must be lovely having your beautiful daughter home from college all during the summer months. What special studies has she been taking? Jlrs. Stubbiefield: Weil, she never tells me anything about her college work, but jutlging by the way she acts at home. I would say she has been special- izing in cigarette Inhalation, high-ball construction and gen- eral cosmetics. Ofice Boy: There ' s a lady outside to see you, sir. Boas: Tell her I ' m engaged. OtTwe Boy: That ' s what she ' s come to see you about. She claims you were to have marrieil her today. A surgeon was asked why it was that God made Eve out of Adam ' s rib instead of from some other part of his body. He replied: She was not taken from the head of man, lest she should rule over him; but she was taken from his side, that she might be his equal; from under his arm, that he might protect her; from near his heart, that he might cherish and love her. Mrs. Gappy (thinking of Geneva) : Let me see — what Is the name of that place where so much has been done to promote the peace of the world? Gappy: I suppose you mean Reno? Mikhail: Harefoot. clo you still act toward your wife the same as you did before you were married? Harejoot: Just the same. I remember when I first fell In love with her. I would lean over the fence In front ot her house, and gaze at her shadow on the curtain, afraid to go In. And I act exactly the same way now Jlr. Jones: Young man. I just saw you kiss my daughter, and I want vou to understand I just can ' t stand that sort of thing. Matt Fatretl: I ' m sorry, sir, but— er, Just try it. Yoii have no idea how nice It is. Did they take an X-ray photo of your wife ' s jaw at the hospital? They tried to. but they could only get a moving pic- ture. A girlie whose name doesn ' t matter Found that she got fatter ami fatter; But she dieted well, And she now looks like hell. And there isn ' t a place you can pat her. The human brain is like a freight car — guaranteed to have a certain capacity, but often running empty. Your wife needs a change, said the doctor. Salt air will cure her. The next time the physician called he found the Scotchman sitting by the bedside fanning his wife with a herring. {157} { li« Tr (i etti6ement6 PHOTOGRAPHS ' COMMERCIAL WORK FRAMES MINIATURES Foster Studio RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Nothing Missing But The Voice OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE X-RAY PORTRAITS TELEPHONE IN OIL 3-2711 { 1(,0 } POWERS ANDERSON, Inc. i.nm Si[fi,m Far of Floor Spaa Headquarters for Surgical, Ho ifital, ami Dental Supphrx OUR NEW BUILDING 2 South 5th Street (Just Below Main St.) RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Associated Firms and Branches — POWERS ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY (In Above Building) RICHMOND, ' IRGINIA POWERS ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY Colonial-American National Bank Building ROANOKE, VIRGINIA POWERS c ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY Allied Arts Building LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA POWERS ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY 521 Boush Street NORFOLK, VIRGINIA POWERS c ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY First National Bank Building CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA POWERS ANDERSON DENTAL COMPANY Raleigh Building RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA • POWERS ANDERSON SURGICAL INSTRUMENT COMPANY 523 Boush Street NORFOLK, VIRGINIA { 161 STUART CIRCLE HOSPITAL RICHMOND, ' IRGINIA MEDICINE: Alexander G.
