ZOO Years of Medicine 1776 1976 lt would be inadequate to celebrate our na- tion's Bicentennial without considering America's contributions to medicine. In the short history of our country numerous medical events in the United States have had a bearing on international medicine. Although we cannot boast the epoch-creators such as Pasteur, Koch and other transatlantic workers, America has produced several notable record makers with William Beaumont, Walter Reed, Ephraim McDowell, W.H. Welch and others. However, it must be remembered that the sources of the strength of American medicine are to be found in the studies pursued abroad in Great Britain, France and later Germany. In the early Colonial period there were very few physicians or surgeons. Health conditions were horrendous, with onefhalf of the May- tlower's passengers dying within three months of their arrival. For the most part, the only educated persons in the tloundering colonies were the clergy and it is not surprising that the principle palpators and practitioners of medicine also preached from the pulpit. Thus the first American medical publication, a broadside on smallpox, was written by a physician-clergyman, Thomas Thatcher, in 1677. At the beginning of the National period civilization and cultural wealth in America had proliferated considerably and thus the medical field progressed also. The versatile Benjamin Franklin inspired the establishment of the first hospital in the United States in Philadelphia in 1752. As an inventor, Franklin also contributed bifocal lenses to the medical profession. The most famous doctor of the American Revolution was Benjamin Rush, A typical rep- resentative of the Enlightenment, Rush signed the Declaration of Independence. Besides poli- tics, he also espoused in the areas of psychia- try and anthropology. 6 Bvrimmm Rush H745-18131. Bmiiarnln Franklin 11706-17901
