PODOPEDIATRICS We all realize some of the possibilities of the advancement for Chiropody in the field of children's work, but it was not until Dr. Sharp presented his lectures that we could envision the full gamut of opportunities in this branch of our profession. Methods of child examination and child psychology were presented in a manner that may be applied to the foot. We were given a detailed consideration of the various phases of diagnosis and treatment of foot lesions in the child, and we now appreciate how many of the complicated affections found in the feet of adults con be eliminated if corrected during childhood. With both the practical and theoretical knowledge that we received in this course through Dr. Sharp’s instruction, we are well equipped to diagnose and treat foot disorders occurring in children. “ediairict RFORD. ° s C- A na orr l MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS This subject is thot in which Dr. Harford adeptly taught us to answer and recognize the why's , what's , and wherefores of the various diseases manifesting themselves in the lower extremities. Indeed, we should prove poor chiropodists if we were unable to diagnose a rheumatic ailment from a Freiberg's infraction! We are confident that the many hours we spent in learning fevers, focal infections, rheumatic ailments, etc., have given us the general knowledge which members of our profession must know for a successful future practice. We shall long remember Dr. Harford and his precise and thorough teachings of Medical Diagnosis. OFFICE PRACTICE It has often been said that nothing can take the place of experience. but fortunately, we were put in a position to gain from another man’s experience. In our senior year, Dr. Gamble discussed the many difficulties that are encountered by the young chiropodist with suggestions os to the manner in which to overcome these difficulties. Every phase of the office procedure was touched from the planning of our office for efficiency to our personal professionalism. Through Dr. Gamble's lectures we began to realize the relation between the clinic and our own private offices—where they would differ and where they would be similar. Our time in this course was well spent, for it will save us hours of needless worry, a great deal of needless work, and, in general, pave the way toward c smooth, well-run office. m FELTON O. GAMBLE. D.S.C.. F.A.S.C.R. Professor of Office Practice

FRANK H. EBY. PKor.D.. G.Cp. Profavtor ol Materia Medico, Pharmacy and Therapeutics MEDICA, HD TOXICOLOGY PHARMACY, MATERIA One of the most important phases in our professional study is a thorough understanding of the many and varied medicaments used in chiropody. Dr. Eby. assisted by Dr. Cornfeld, presented us with o complete survey of this specialized field. In our course in Pharmacy, we considered the principles of the pharmaceutical world. Specific instruction in the techniques employed in the preparation of the more common classes of remedial agents used in practice proved to be absorbing demonstrations. We discarded our old system of weights and measures and learnt modern ones. The hours which we spent in learning crude drugs, purified drugs, and synthetic drugs were well worth their while, for without this knowledge a student could never hope to become a successful practitioner. Solubilities, concentrations, preparations, indications, and contraindications become second nature to us. Prescription writing was thoroughly mastered. In Toxicology, we discussed the various poisons, their properties and antidotes. We cannot value these courses too highly and we are graTetul to Dr. Eby for his excellent presentation. They are basic studies and necessary for our future work. HARR'f G. CORNFELD. Instructor in Materia Mcd.ca mechanical orthopedics, shoe therapy and cast making To pad or to brace! That is the question. Under the guiding hand of Dr. Carleton, the various phases of these all-important branches of Chiropody were discussed with all their ramifications. We shall never forget the coses of a young pretty girl who had a sedentary occupation and the two hundred fifty pound shipbuilder. The many hours we spent perfecting our technique in cost making in our Freshman year have since proved their worth, for we realize thot without on exact replica of the foot with which to work, all bracing would be futile. Dr. Carleton skillfully coordinated these three subjects throughout our school years with practical applications and demonstration. We were given all the considerations of the mechanical principles for the correction and alleviation of foot abnormalities and were shown thot by correlating these principles we would arrive at an intelligent and conclusive diagnosis and treatment.

JOHN ROYAL MOORS, A.B., M.D., F.A.C.S. Professor of Chiropodiol Orthopedics IUKE JORDAN. • Mf :■ o-'k»Pld'“ tiinrmts The importonce of our study in orthopedics is second to none but chiropody. Under the expert and able guidance of Dr. Moore, assisted by Dr. Christ and Dr. Jordan, the diagnosis and treatment of all foot abnormalities were taught to us. Complete lectures on the techniques of strappings, paddings, costwork, ond brocework filled our second year; while the third and fourth years were devoted mainly to the evaluation of a complete subjective and objective examination for a comprehensive diagnosis, and the treatment of the e conditions whether they be congenital or acquired. Peripheral vascular diseases are now recognizable and any deviation from normal, either muscular, tendonous. osseous, or arthritic is easily recognized and categoried. It is in this branch of our work that the progress of chiropody is most evident. We leave with a full understanding of this subject; secure in the knowledge that we have studied and thoroughly mastered all of the known afflictions of the human foot. CHWSI. ».$■. 0 ; ....1 cw«H'w' THOMAS M. LOO AN, A.B.. Protajor of Pomology IMIHDim Since pathology is o study of the nature of disease, we may reodily reoliie its importonce, for only by o proper understanding of this subject will we. os practitioners, be enobled to moke correct diognosis of diseased conditions os compared with tissues of normol condition. Dr. Logon ond Dr. Sharpe heightened our interest in this imporfont object by giving us the fundamentals of general pathology in order thot our further work ond study in special pathology os opplied to the lower extremities reached o proper culmination. Our work in the laboratory with slides of diseased tissue micro-scopicolly exomlned, ond the lontern slides during our lectures made our course most voluoble to us for scientific diognosis in our future practice, The proficient method In which our course in pathology wos ought to us will enoble us to hove poise, confidence, ond ability in vgnostlc services for our patients.
