The event which proved to bethe hit of the day was the mar-ried men's 50-yard dash. Eachof the contestants was in perfectcondition and the time was a lit-tle less than a minute. RobertHoman won this event with DickStritmatter and Nick Gill follow-ing closely behind.

This betters the recordof nine in twenty-four hours,made during the National Osteo-pathic Convention in 1929. Thedeliveries were all uneventful,except for the somewhat hecticmoments on the part of the of-fice force in attempting to getsix complete crews lined up atthe same time.

What Is This Golf?Golf is a form of work made

expensive enough for a man to'enjoy it. It is physical and men-tal exertion made attractive bythe fact that you have to dressfor it in a $200,000 clubhouse.

Golf is what letter carrying,ditch digging and carpet beatingwould be if those tasks had tobe performed on the same hotafternoon in short. pants andcolored socks by gouty-lookinggentlemen who required a dif-ferent implement for everymood.

Golf is the simplest lookinggame in the world when you de-cide to take it up and the tough-est looking after you have beenat it ten or twelve years.

It is probably the only knownRame a man can play as long asa quarter of a century and thendiscover that it was two deepfor him in the first pltce.

The game is played on care-fully selected grass with littlewhite balls and as many clubs asthe player can afford. The balls

cost from 75 cents to $25,.00 sgolfers Pet. to know what tha.tand it is possible to support afamily of ten people (all adults)for five months on the moneyrepresented by the balls lost bysome golfers in a single after-noon.

A golf course has eighteenholes, seventeen of which areunnecessary and put in to makethe game harder. A "hole" is atin cup in the center of a green.A "green" is a small parcel ofgrass costing about $1.98 a bladeand usually located between abrook and a couple of appletrees or a lot of "unfinished ex-cavation."

The idea is to get the golfball from a given point intoeach of the eighteen cups in thefewest strokes and the greatestnumber of woods.

The ball must not be thrown,pushed or carried. It must bepropelled by almost $200 worthof curious looking implements,especially designed to provoke

othe owner.Each implement has a specific

purpose and ultimately some

purpose is. They are the ex-ceptions.

After eac.h hole has heen corn-pleted the golfer counts hisstrokes. Then he subtracts sixand says: "Made that in five.That's one above par. Shall weplay for fifty cents on the nexthole, too, Ed?"

After the final, or eighteenthhole, the golfer adds up hisscore and stops when he hasreached eighty-seven He thenhas a swim, a pint of gin, sings"Sweet Adeline" with six oreight other liars and calls it theend of a perfect day.-(M.L.S.)

"Consider that health is athing to be attended to continu-ally as the very highest of alltemporal things. There is nokind of achievement equal to:perfect health. What, to it, are-nuggets or millions ?"-Carlyle.

In the life of Pepys the wash-ing of feet was such an -eventthat he recorded it as having oc-curred to him on May 30, 1663.

Owing to the length of otherarticles in this issue it was nec-essary to omit the fraternitynotes. They will, however, re-appear next month.

A short historical sketch ofeach of the organizations will beprinted in the July issue of theLog Book. It is hoped- in thismanner to acquaint the pros-pective student with th e oppor-:uniijered at Still for Fra-

ternity or Sorority affiliation.Des Moines Still College of

Radio Station ChampionsOsteopathic Clinic

April 23, 1931, Mr. WrightGadge, manager of W M B C ofDetroit, began to make personalb.ronadcast. of from ten to twentyminutes each during the "Buck-ley Radio Hour" aggressivelyfighting for Osteopathy and im-pending legislation in Michigan.Mr. Gadge is doing this solelyand entirely because he believesin Dr. Walter Gillmore and thework being done in the GillmoreClinic, which is now being spon-sored by W M B C. Mr. Gadgestated in no uncertain terms thatalthough those who receivedsomething for nothing were al-ways the first to find fault, overfour thousand persons had reg-istered in the clinic and the firstcomplaint had yet to be heard.

This is probably the first timein the history of Osteopathy thatany great radio station or publicorgan has championed the Osteo-pathic cause entirely on a basisof appreciation of what some ofour professional members haveand are accomplishing.

O. & O. L. Society Meet

Paresis Cure Asserted

Indianapolis, Ind.-Details ofhow a large number of victims ofparesis are being cured by ma-larial fever innoculation havebeen disclosed by Dr. Max Bahr,superintendent of the CentralState Hospital for the insane.Out of 240 patients treated sincethis method was first introduced,29 per cent have been totallycured and discharged from theinstitution.

Complete cure of paresis canbe anticipated only when treat-ment is instituted in the earlystages of the disease. A largepercentage of the patients werereceived and treated after theyhad reached the second or thirdstages of the disease, thus ac-counting for the large numbernot recovering. Dr. Bahr stated,however, that in a majority ofthe cases a halting of the diseasewas noted.

In most cases improvement isapparent four to six weeks aftertreatment is begun and the pa-tient is kept ill of malaria aslong as such treatment is regard-ed necessary. The malaria istreated with quinine.

One theory underlying thetreatment is that the malariaproduces a fever that destroyseffects of paresis.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Editorial

On page 414 of the June is-sue of the Journal of the A.O.A.there appears a paragraph en-titled "They Are Only Begin-ning to Fight." This is a reprintof an Associated Press dispatchin which Dr. Franklin H. Mar-tin, M. D., director-general of

.....C j 1_ ,- A 2a -- ,~ ' -'-- --- 1 T-geons, was quoted as announcinga nation-wide fight to end med-ical and surgical "cultism." TheDoctor stated that one methodwould be to demand a bas - sci-ence law in every state.

It is apparent that the Osteo-pathic profession is, to self-styled omnipotent medicine,merely a "cult" made up ofquacks and hence must be elimi-nated.

If Osteopathy was not suc-ceeding, if it was not offeringthe sick more than other schoolsof therapy, it would die of itselfwithout any efforts on the partof medicine. Such legislativebattles as were waged in Iowaand other states this past win-ter, and the above stated futurepolicy of medicine, are flatteringto Osteopathy and prove beyonda doubt the ever-increasing suc-cess of Osteopathic Physiciansin the field.

However, we are the minorityand if we are to wage a success-ful defence to future attacks, wemust present a militant and uni-ted front. There are two waysin which thi : accom-plished: first, by every D. O. inthe United States being or be-

.co-omning- ai active member of hisstate and national associationsand, second, by every one in orinterested in Osteopathy seeingthat our schools are full to over-flowing.

There are many D. O's. whodo not belong to the A. O. A. ortheir local organization because,they say, they do not approve ofthe policies of these associations.This is an insidious viewpoint.If one believes changes shouldbe made, the only proper thngto do is to join the associationsand then present his views, notpout and knock from the out-side.

A profession is mainly judgedby the number of newcomers itattracts. Should our schools befilled to capacity each year ourprofession would be providedwith irrefutable proof of thetruth of the Osteopathic conceptand the ever-increasing accep-tance of the Osteopathic Physic-ian by the public.

The senior class just gradu-

ated from Still College joinedthe A. O. 0. 100% strong.Should every alumnus of D.M.S.C.O. maintain active member-ship in his state and national as-sociations and bend every effortto send at least ONE STUDENTto his alma mater each year, agreat step would be taken to-ward placing our profession andschool on a foundation so firmthat no opposition could shake it.

Sigma Sigma Phi

Sigma Sigma Phi is a Nation-al Honorary Osteopathic Fra-ternity. Beta Chapter of D.M.S.C.O. was installed in 1925.Membership is open to Juniorand Senior students only and isselective by a vote of the mem-bers. Requirements for member-ship are: first, a high scholasticaverage throughout the collegecourse, ;ecoiiu, ctuCIrecilmmeLu. tiol

of the president or dean as toconduct in and out of 'school;and, third, extra-curricular ac-tivity.

The purpose of the organiza-tion is to promote Osteopathicactivities and promulgate the A.T. Still principles of Osteopathy.

Square and Compass

Square and Compass is a Na-tional Masonic Fraternity withchapters located in every majorcollege and university in theUnited States.

The Still College Masonic Clubaffiliated with the national or-ganization and became the StillSquare, four years ago. It is theonly square of Square and Com-pass in an Osteopathic school.The members are to be congrat-ulated upon bringing and main-tainin2o a chapter of this greatMasonic fraternity in Still Col-lege.

The national publication is"The College Mason" and thecolors are Navy Blue and Gray.

Phi Sigma Gamma

fPi Sigma Gamma was form-ed April 8, 1919, by the unionof the Phi Sigma Beta and PhiOmicron Gamma. fraternities.The organization thus formedconsisted of five chapters, towhich have been added two ad-ditional, making a total of sevenactive chapters, one in each ofthe Osteopathic Colleges. Thenational publication is "The

Speculum" and the colors areNavy Blue and White.

Delta Chapter is located at3029 Grand Avenue, in one ofthe finest residential districts ofthe city. Ingersoll and ValleyJunction street car lines pass ablock from the house and pro-vide seven minute service to allparts of Des Moines. Breakfastand evening meals are servedduring the school year for theconvenience of the fellows.There were 36 active membersduring the past year. Dr. C. W.Johnson, president of the Col-lege, is a member of Phi SigmaGamma.

If Delta Chapter can be ofservice in any way to a prospec-tive student, feel free to writeand we will do all within ourpower to aid you.

To date we have heard fromBros. Jagn-riw. Morrical, Scatter-day, Toepfer, and Pledge Yaley.We hope the ones not heardfrom have valid reasons for notwriting.

Bro. Schaeffer is so busy withclinic and private practice thathe doesn't get out to see us veryoften. Methinks it is mostly"private."

Bro. Armbrust is thinking ofstarting a barbecue to be calledthe "Red Lantern." Detailed in-formation can be had by ad-dressing inquiries to Box 1938.

Pledge Johnson has returnedto spend the summer at thehouse. Jobs are scarce in NorthDakota and Minnesota. Hope hehas better luck here.

Bro. Stivenson is getting realpopular with the fairer sex, ifinvitations to the Country Clubdances indicate anything. That,with O. B., jobs, and clinics, oc-cupies most of his time. Hemanages to get his averageamount of sleep, however.

The large 0. B. practice ofBros. Cloyed and Olson keepsthem from us most of the time.

We appreciate having Mrs.Cloyed help us in keeping thehouse in order. It is no easytask; if you think so ask Chuckhow .-uch f-- -ftuni-- t--I r th-lawn and clean the house. Bro.Armbust surely made the bath-rooms and kitchen shine.

Celsus, about 25 A. D., wasthe first to mention the fourcardinal symptoms of inflamma-tion. About this time he alsorecommended nutritive enematafor the first time in history. Inhis writings on this we read:"Water for use in irrigationshould be very pure or elseboiled and the hands and nailsof the operator should becleansed."

Physical handicap is as noth-ing compared to those that aman fashions out of the perverse-ness of his own heart. The hand-icaps of ill will, hate, arrogance,intolerance, vengeance, and self-seeking, handicaps which heclamps down on his soul andwhich will, before his day isdone, act like poison in hisblood.

Histology, otherwise knownas microscopic anatomy, bacter-iology, pathology, and clinicalmicroscopy require the almostconstant use of this instrument.

The modern 'scopes consist ofa sturdy metal stand, eye-piece,draw-tube sealed at 160mm,4mm or high dry power lens,16mm or low dry power lens,and 1.97mm or oil immersionlens. The term "dry" indicates

There are coarse and fine focus-ing adjustments.

The total magnification isfigured by multiplying the powerof the ocular by the initial mag-nification of the objective (lens)used.

Population of U. S. In-creases 1 Every 36 Sec.

Some interesting statisticshave recently been given out bythe U. S. Bureau of the Census.

In 1920 the gain in popula-tion was one every 23 seconds.This figure is the net result ofone birth every 13 seconds, onedeath every 23 seconds, an im-migrant arrival every 11/ min-utes, and an elmiigrant depaltueevery 5 1 minutes.

In 1930 the average gain wasreduced to one every 36 seconds.There was a birth every 14 sec-onds instead of 13; a deathevery 22 seconds instead of 23;an immigrant arrival every 12minutes instead of 1 1/2; and anemigrant departure every 7 min-utes instead of 51/2.

Had the 1920 average pre-vailed up to and including 1930the population today would havebeen 124,833,818 instead of124,069,651 as given in the cen-sus of 1930, or a difference of764,167.

Additional figures show thatin 1926 the death rate was 12.1per thousand people and in 1929it was reduced to 11.9 per thou-sand. In 1929 there were 1,386,-563 deaths. Heart disease, theleading cause of death, was re-sponsible for 245,244 fatalities,over twice as many as did can-cer, which was second with 111,-569 fatalities. Pneumonia occu-pied third place with 106,597deaths. The old dreaded diseasesof small pox, diphtheria, scarletfever, etc., have been pushedway down below appendicitis inthe list of casii ge nf 11 th ,nrlare now listed among the "al-most incidental causes."

[Ed. Note: With more peopleeach year coming to recognizethe almost specific action of Os-teopathy in pneumonia, it willbe interesting to keep in touchwith these figures from year toyear throughout the next ten-year period. Pneumonia willdoubtlessly drop in the list ofcauses of death in direct ratiowith the increase in popularityof Osteopathy as the treatmentfor this disease.]

MARY E. GOLDEN, D. 0.

;-l-loHwing a business- courseat Bellevue College. and a coursein Liberal Arts at Drake Univer-sity, Dr. Golden entered D.M.S.C.O. and graduated in 1912.Since her graduation, Dr. Gol-den has taken Post-Graduatework with the Denver ClinicalGroup, the Norwood Rectal Clin-ic, and in Technique, underDowning.

Dr. Golden has been on thefaculty of D.M.S.C.O. for twelveyears. She teaches classes inPediatrics.

Dr. J. L. Schwartz is a gradu-ate of D.M.S.C.O. and practicesProctology in this city. Twoyears ago he took extensive re-search work in Proctology inBerlin and Vienna. Since thattime he has given a special lec-ture course in this work eachsemester. This course is pre-sented supplementary to theregular course offered by Dr. J.P. Schwartz.

We want more schoolhousesand less jails, more books andless arsenals, more learningsand less vice, more constant em-ployment and less crime, moreleisure and less greed, more jus-tice and less revenge-in fact-more of the opportunities to cul-tivate our better natures, tomake manhood more noble,womanhood more beautiful, andchildhood more happy andbright.--(Samuel Gompers.)

Dr. Andrew Taylor Still(An Editorial)

"The mass of men worrythemselves into namelessgraves, while here and therea great unselfish soul for-gets himself into immortal-ity."-Emerson.

August Sixth was the onehundred and third anniversaryof the birth of Dr. Andrew Tay-lor Still, beloved founder of thescience of Osteopathy. It is wellthat we pause and pay tributeto the memory of an immortalgenius-this man whom Emer-son's bit of philosophy so aptlyfits.

Son of an itinerant preacher-physician; a youth whose strug-gles to obtain a good educationrival those of other famous Am-ericans; a young doctor, prompt-ed by a family tragedy to searchfor a better means of treatinghuman ills than medicine; a manwho completely submerged selfand personal comfort and pleas-ure, who bravely withstood op-position and persecution that hemight be of benefit to mankind;all these facts make this man atypical personification of "agreat unselfish soul" who truly"forgot himself into immortal-ity."

Albert Edward Wiggam oncewrote: "Without the few gen-iuses who have, by chance orthe grace of God, discoveredthemselves, mankind would haveno history worthy of the name."To such men as the "Old Doc-tor/_"men who have had thecourage and moral stimina toface established beliefs and bat-tle against overwhelming odds,do we owe our advanced civili-zation. Were it not for thesesouls, the human family wouldstill be mired in the murk ofthe Dark Ages.

The only progress this oldworld has ever made has beenmade by men who have daredto stand for something thateverybody else was not standingfor; by men who stood aboveand beyond their fellows and re-fused to die of dry rot in therut laid down for them by con-ventional people. It has everbeen, in human history, that hewho formulated some new doc-trine or idea revolutionary inscope should suffer persecution,ridicule, abuse, and even death.The one feature redeeming so-ciety is that, providing the newidea possessed worthiness andtruth, mass intelligence eventu-ally caught up to that of the

genius and accepted his brain-child, even though he, himselfmight have long before passedon. We may all be thankful thatDr. Still was permitted to liveuntil he saw his discovery marka new era in the therapeuticworld and become permanentlyestablished in the hearts of man-kind.

The founder of Osteopathywas one of those rare mortalswho left the world a far betterplace for his having lived in it.He unselfishly and courageouslydevoted his life to the alleviationof human suffering; he gave ofhis talents with no thought ofreturn; he strived to adhere toNature's inexorable laws. We,his followers, can do no betterthan to occasionally pause andpay personal homage to thememory of this great man andfrom that memory take inspira-tion to bring Osteopathic truthsto all mankind. Doing this, weknow that the name of AndrewTaylor Still, together with thenames of other great public ben-efactors, will ring with ever-in-creasing resonance through thehalls of time.

Longevity

The longest-lived people inthe world are those who inhabitNew Zealand. The average forthese people is 63 years, forboth men and women.

In Europe the residents ofDenmark show the best figures,60 years for men and 62 yearsfor women.

In France the average life isabout 71/2 years shorter than inEngland. England, Germany andthe United States show aboutthe same figures, the average be-ing about 59 years for bothmales and females. This leavesthe average life in France,about 52 years, the shortest ofthe major nations of Occidentalcivilization.

The statistics for India speaka tragedy. The average life isbut 22 years for males and 23for females.

Out of every 1000 personsonly six live to be over 80 yearsof age. Everyone who lives to be60 has escaped the average.

In Biblical days the averageage was said to be 70 years.However, the infant mortality inthose days was far greater thantoday and was not taken intoconsideration when man's dayswere stated as "three scoreyears and ten." In this day andage, science has given us meansof preserving life in childrenwho, in the days of the survivalof the fittest, would surely haveperished. These children reachmaturity and many of them diebefore reaching middle age. In-surance companies give this asthe reason for the seeming im-possibility of raising the aver-age of Americans and those of;he other leading nations.

He that cannot forgive othersbreaks the bridge over which hemust pass nimselr-for everynan has need to be forgiven.

Physiotherapy in GeneralPractice

(Dr. C. H. Boening)In these articles I will con-

cern myself with the generalprinciples underlying the use ofphysio-therapy in the treatmentof conditions that the generalpractitioner is called upon tohandle. Technique will not begiven as that is readily devisedwhen the general principles areunderstood.

To insure a proper conceptionof these principles it is necessaryto begin with the discussion ofthe physiological action of dia-thermy. Up-to-date physiologyof electro-therapeutics is an un-known quality and there aremany different opinions, as weoften find in the scientific world.However, I will try to discussthe most likely theories of thephysicological reactions derivedfrom this treatment.

Effects of HeatEffects of heat upon the tissue

produced by a high-frequencycurrent. The current heats thetissue through which it passesin direct proportion to the in-tensity of the current and theresistance of the tissue. We alladmit that our body has the fac-ulty to transmit or conduct elec-trical energy and we know fromthe study of physics that everyconductor offers a certain re-sistance to the passage of a cur-rent and that this resistanceproduces heat. Within the tis-sues of the body this heat varieswith the histological compositionof the tissues thus heated, e. g.fibrous tissue offers more resist-ance than smooth muscle. Weknow that the living human tis-sue offers a definite resistance tothe passage of a current andthat the heat produced can bemeasured by ordinary means.Now, what are the effects ofthis treatment and what do theyimply?

First: A general relaxation ofsmooth and straited muscle andrelief of pain due to spasm.

Second: "Dilation of precapil-iary arteries by vasomotor relax-ation producing an increasedcirculation which means an in-creased supply of biologicalmeans of local defense and re-pair, increased elimination, andrelief of pain caused by conges-tion."

Third: "Increase in the rateof local metabolism, dependingupon the principle that all chem-ical reactions increase in speedwith the rise of temperature."

You will think at this pointthat the above mentioned effectscan be brought about by anysource of heat, so why spendmoney for expensive apparatus?Let us consider the differencebetween the effects of diathermyand those of external application)f heat. The word "Diathermy"is derived from the Greek Diaind Thermixomy, meaning "toheat through" or "heat within."This implies the physiologicalpnenomenon or diathermy,-namely to produce heat within

the tissues at any desireddepths. With external applica-tion of heat the highest tempera-ture and the greatest physiolog-ical results are always directlyon the surface and rarely go anyfurther.

Effect on VasomotorsWhat is the effect on the vaso-

motor nerves? It has been ablydemonstrated that the high-fre-quency current has a direct par-alyzing effect on these nerves.This fact can be seen by apply-ing diathermy directly on theskin with a high-frequency elec-trode, an area of hyperemia ap-pears long before enough heathas been produced to be respon-sible. The probability is thatthere is an initial vasomotorstimulation with a decrease incirculation; if we could keep ourcurrent intehsity low enoughthis preliminary contractionwould be recogniged. We alsohave evidence that there is a--slight effect of the same depress-ant nature on the sensory nerves,but the most valuable thing hereis the increased volume of bloodthat is brought to the part thustreated; hence we have an in-crease in local nutrition and me-tabolism and also promote localelimination, a thing needed inninty-nine cases out of a hun-dred. Nature knows well enoughhow to handle the trouble butis in need of reinforcements;she has the proper anti-bodies,phagocytes, and repair materialsbut has difficulty in getting asufficient amount of them to andfrom the place where they areneeded.

Physics of DiathermyAt this point we may raise the

question, how can electrons in-fluence or affect molecules com-posing the tissues? The tissuesmaintain their stability becauseof the powerful forces that areactive within them being in anaccurately balanced state. Themolecules are separated byspaces enormously wide in pro-portion to their size, like theplanets in the golar system. Theymove with great rapidity withinthe limits of their fixed orbits.If-we -i-d sotme sortof vision bywhich we could see into thestructure of a cell, these mole-cules, symmetrically arrangedand moving rapidly in space,would present a wonderful sight.If we could look within eachmolecule we would find its struc-ture very complex hundreds ofatoms, disposed symmetrically,moving in orbits, separated bygreat distances, a play of tre-mendous forces so balancedagainst each other that externalquiet is the result. Within eachof these atoms the story repeatsitself, electrons whirling swiftlyin orbits, covering enormous dis-tances, in mathematical arrange-ments, associated with the playof powerful force. It is uponthis energy content of matterthat life mainly depends. Nowlet us picture a stream of elec-trons shot through this system,first in one direction, then in theother.

THE LOG BOOK

The Study of Pathology(Prof. F. A. Parisi)

Pathology, anatomy, and phy-siology form the isosceles tri-angle of medical science, eachbeing of equal importance anddepending upon each other,these sciences forming the basisof the superstructure that, bygeometric progression, so tospeak, go to complete the knowl-edge that is required for thesuccessful practice of Osteo-pathy.

The Osteopathic curriculumrequires a thorough study ofpathology, that science whichtreats of the human body in amorbid state or condition thatis, disease and its varied mani-festations. This science hasgrown to its major importantposition through keen observa-tion of the beginning of diseasesin the human body and follow-

-i i.ug through their entire courseof recovery, disability, or death.When the cause is understood(diagnosis) a cure is attempted.

Osteopathy, that system ofthe healing art that places chiefemphasis upon the structuralside of the human body, is theform of therapy that has provento be a real success; it dependsupon body physics and commonsense.

Pathology, as a science of log-ical study, is usually divided in-to three parts-General, Specialand Clinical Pathology. Thethird division is known com-monly as Laboratory Diagnosis.

General Pathology considersthe minute changes that takeplace in any localized area andthe general and varied changesoccuring in the degenerations(fatty, hyaline, amyloid, etc.).Microscopical study as well asgross study is considered. Tum-ors, both benign and malignant,are studied. It is seen that gen-eral pathology considers thechanges in the fundamental pro-cesses and structural alterations.

Special pathology treats of thechanges taking place specificallyin an organ or affecting a speci-fic organ.

ical pathology is the applicationof chemistry, biology, and phy-sics to our knowledge of anat-omy, physiology, bacteriology,and pathology by means of lab-oratory diagnosis and improvedapparatus and instruments. In-creased knowledge and thefruit of research has caused thisstudy to become a major spec-ialty, the practitioner beingknown as a pathologist.

..PRACTICE FOR SALEDr. I. N. Thompson of Oska-

loosa, Iowa, announces that hehas his practice and equipmentfor sale. Ill health is forcing theDoctor from practice. Any oneinterested may address him at210 So. First street, Oskaloosa,Iowa.

is composed of electrons of pre-cisely the same nature as thosewhich make up the atoms; theytravel through the constellationof molecules, atoms, and elec-trons, at a velocity beside whicha machine-gun volley is station-ary. What the effect of this ishas not been yet stated in sci-entific measurements but, by thelaw of probability, some of theelectrons will collide with themasses composing the tissues sothat, -- I in g nrl there -. wIl I oe an-that, in general, there will be anaddition of energy to the tissueand a loss of energy from the

stream of moving electrons. Byproper graduation of the num-ber of electrons sent throughthe energy added to the molecu-lar and atomic mechanism mayrange from a slightly beneficialaction to a completely destruc-tive one."-( Helmholtz. )

Tn medical diathermy we usesuch a number and concentra-;ion of electrons that the effectobtained consists of impulses tothe moving body in such a man-ner that their existing motion ismoderately increased without in-terfering with the character orarrangement of the bodies. Wereinforce that activity withoutaltering its character; we in-crease the rate of oxidation andcarbon dioxide elimination; weincrease the bloodflow, etc.

From all the preceding state-ments we can reason toward theclinical applications of diather-my as a valuable adjunct in gen-eral practice.

[Editor's Note: Next monthDr. Boening will discuss the clin-ical applications of this adjunctand will mention the variousOsteopathic Societies devoted tofurthering this type of treat-ment.]

THE STILL COLLEGE BAND

The 30-piece Band of Still College is undoubtedly one of the best of any suchorganizations in any school of comparative size. Dr. H. V. Halladay weilds thebaton in a most efficient manner.

The Band appears at each of the weekly convocations held throughout theschool year and presents snappy marches, classical and semi-classical selections,popular numbers, novelties, and solos by various members. The Band, from time totime, makes appearances at various conventions, in civic enterprises, and at otherschools in the city. It has, for the past two years, provided entertainment at theConvention of the Iowa Osteopathic Association.

An organization within the Band worthy of mention is the "Hungry Five," aGerman Band directed by "Virge," which provides humorous entertainment at as-semblies and at other functions where it is not feasible to present the entire band.

All graduating members of the Band receive a certificate for his service. Thisis the most popular extra-curricular activity at the college and all performers uponband instruments are most welcome to join "Virge and the Gang."

College Enrolls Over

-;:In sj: t -e:of ...t .'i- we -. rai4economic depression the fall reg-istration at Still College hasbeen very gratifying. At thetime of writing over seventy newstudents have been received.Several of these have transfer-ed from other Osteopathic col-leges and have become membersof the upper classes.

The new freshman class ismade up largely of men withconsiderable previous collegetraining. Four co-eds are num-bered in the new group and itis to be hoped that the enroll-ment of girls will increase eachyear.

With the many improvementsin equipment and personnel add-ed by the school the past yearand this large enrollment, itseems certain that the schoolyear 1931-32 will take its placeas one of the greatest in thehistory of the institution.

A number of students whowere compelled to drop out ofschool for the past year have re-turned to swell the total enroll-ment of the college. A verysmall percentage of last year's

turn and this year's student bodyturn and this year's student bodywill greatly outnumber that of1930-31.

The plan is simply texpectant mother firstat the hospital, is exanreceives a "baby book"similar to a savings b;and in which her paynrecorcuec. tine next makes a downpayment, $5 if it is the firstmonth of pregnancy, $10 if itis the second, $15 if it is thethird, etc. Thereafter she visitsthe hospital each month for ex-amination and payment of $5until her confinement period be-gins. Nine payments totalling$45 take care of all prenatalcare and pay in advance for aten-day (average) stay in a ten-bed ward.

Should a patient default anddecide not to enter the hospitalshe gets all except $5 of hejmoney back.

Hospital officials claim theirO. B. business is 50 percentgreater than it was on the oldcash or be-billed basis and addthat by this easy payment planmany mothers who formerlywere denied hospital care arenow able to afford it..

The second farmer said hewas always up before then andhad part of the chores done.

The first farmer thought hewas a liar and decided to findout. A few mornings after, hegot up at 2 o'clock and went tothe neighbor's house. He rappedon the back door and the womanof the house opened the door.

"Where is your husband?" heasked, expecting to find him inbed.

"He was around here earlythis morning, answered his wife,"but I don't know where he isright now."

Editorial"If a man can preach a bet-

ter sermon, write a betterbook, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, thoughhe build his house in thewoods, the world will make abeaten path to his door."

-Emerson.* * *

The purpose of this editorialis to call attention to the factthat the physician with an Os-teopathic education and a firmresolve to practice Osteopathyas it is taught in our collegescan be a better physician thanone adhering to any other schoolof therapy-that is, he can beif he will. The thing we can notunderstand is why we find anoccasional Osteopthic physicianwho seems to lack the courageof his convictions and as a re-sult conveys the impression ofinferiority. In no way is Osteo-pathy inferior to any other ther-apeutic system and in many re-spects it is far superior; if itwas not, there would have beenno reason for its existence andit would have died a-borning.

We know that if an Osteo-pathic physician makes properuse of his professional educationhe will be a better physicianthan his competitor of anotherschool and, being a better phy-sician, he will find that Emer-son knew whereof he spake-that the world will, literally,"make a beaten path to hisdoor."

However, the Osteopathic phy-sician must bear in mind that hecan't_ e a. better physician thanhis neighbor unless he firmly be-lieves in the superiority of hisprofession and conducts hispractice in such a manner as toprove to his patients that nosuch word as "inferiority" ap-plies to the Osteopathic profes-sion or to its practitioners.

C. H. BOENING(Continued from last month)

* * *

[ED. NOTE: Last month Mr. Boen-ing discussed the physics of Dia-thermy and the effects of thistype of treatment upon humantissues. In this, the second article,he discusses the clinical applica-tions of Diathermy.]

* * *

Much can be said and writtenabout the clinical application ofphysiotherapy but we do notwish to pick an argument or an-tagonize those whose views aredifferent than ours. The authorhas heard bitter criticism frommen who condemned electro-therapeutics in all its forms sev-eral years ago; today many ofthese same men are its loudestexponents. Thirty years ago phy-siotherapy was called quackeryin Europe. The World War, withall its clinical and pathologicalhappenings, proved to the heal-ing profession that electrothera-peutics was a most useful ad-junct in the treatment of dis-ease. At that time Dr. Nagel-shmidt of Berlin, the father ofphysiotherapy,, was hailed as thegreatest genius of his time inthe art of healing, and wasranked with Koch who gave usbacteriology. The labors and in-genuity of both these men wereused in the base hospitals, oneto discover the type of diseaseproducing organism, the otherto combat it. Wounds and lac-erations, common occurance onthe battlefield, healed rapidlyunder the benevolent influenceof the ultraviolet ray. Rheum-atic joints and septic muscularinfections were greatly relievedin short time and the man re-fitted to reenter the trenches.

This, briefly, was the intro-duction of physiotherapy intothe field of healing. It has sincemade rapid strides and is nowused by every practicing physi-cian in Europe and by many inAmerica. If you will pardon mefor this digression we will nowstudy the clinical application ofphysiotherapy or diathermia lo-cally and generally.

General EffectsFirst: Medical Diathermia

will increase the rate of metab-olism and other physiologicalfunctions of the body, such asphagocytosis and the formationof antibodies. (This follows thegeneral law of chemistry, name-ly: heat hastens and increaseschemical reactions.) Since dia-thermia produces heat withinthe tissues ,as we noted lastmonth), it will raise the bodytemperature in the same manneras nature does when it combatsdisease by the production offever. We may call a fever na-ture's diathermy.

Second: Diathermia will in-crease the nutrition and elimina-tion of the treated area by in-creasing its blood supply thruvasodilation and the relaxationof spastic conditions.

Specific ApplicationNow let us apply the above

statement in a more specificway, e. g. varicose ulcers, ec-zema, non-uniting fractures,trophic sores, and other similarCHRONIC lesions which are dueto lack of vitality and nutritionand are LOCAL in origin. Theseconditions Will respond verynicely to diathermia.

As the reader will know, wehave, in a long standing inflam-mation, a condition of equili-brium between the irritating in-fluence and the nutritionalbloodstream. This irritating in-fluence may be a foreign body,an infection, or a toxin. The twomay have the same strength andneither will win in the protract-ed struggle that is waged. Ex-amples of such conditions are:chronic cystitis, nephritis, pro-statitis, uretritis, female pelvicdiseases, arthritis, neuritis, psy-choeurosis, etc. The germicidaleffect in these cases, as far asdiathermia is concerned, is insig-nificant in importance; it is theincrease in blood supply to theaffected part and the stimula-tion of the chemical forces of re-sistance within the tissues bring-ing about a tissue reaction ex-actly like the one by means ofwhich nature normally over-comes infection. Diathermia ismore effective in curing theseconditions and relieving theirsymptoms than any other thera-peutic agent of today exceptingOSTEOPATHY. I believe thattlhe physician with Diathermyand Osteopathy offers his patientfar more than he could hope tofind in any other field of thera-peutic practice.

Purchasing EquipmentDo not purchase equipment

Dr. Johnson ReceivesWord from Dr. Stewart

The following is a letter sentto Dr. Johnson by Dr. Red Stew-art. Further letters in this in-teresting correspondence will bepublished in the Log Book if atall possible.

Dr. Stewart will be remem-bered as one of the leadingmembers of the class of June,1931.

Spencer, West Va.Dear Dr. Johnson:

I have found a Charles City.What do I do :iw?

Yours truly,Dr. F. K. Stewart.

Noise More PowerfulThan Morphine

Noise was to primitive man awarning of danger. The primevaljungle, where the cave manstruggled with gigantic beastsfor the right to live, was sothick and so dark that sight wasof little use. Man has never been

able to smell approaching dan-ger like a dog. So, when thecave man sallied forth armedwith nothing but a sharpenedstick that served as a spear, helistened intently, for only thruhis ears could he learn of thesabre-tooth tiger who might atthat very moment be shadowinghim through the forest with theintent to kill.

Today we walk through thestreets of New York with nofear of sabre-tooth tigers. Infact we are not afraid of any-thing; we are thinking of bus-iness or of dates. But when anautomobile backfires we jump asif we had been struck. Althoughwe do not know we are afraid,the age-old fear reaction thatgripped the cave man when heheard a sharp noise, grips us,his remote descendants. Walkingour paved streets in the year1931, we prepare physically forthe assault of a sabre-toothtiger when the sudden shriekingoi a loud-speaker hits our eardrums. And remember that thenoise that frightened a caveman is nothing to the noise weface in 1931. The roar of a ti-ger could not be heard at all inmany streets through which wepass daily.

The Fear ReactionOne may not be conscious of

it, but when he hears a loudnoise his muscles grow taunt,his hair bristles, he loses inter-est in food, he breathes rapidlyand his heart thumps away at atremendous rate. This is whatpsychologists call the fear reac-tion. The rushing sound of asubway express frightens onedespite himself. Perhaps this iswhy subway crowds push andtussle so much more than is nec-essary. For when one is afraid,he becomes pugilistic.

We all know how harmfulsuch a drug as morphine is tothe human brain. Perhaps we donot realize that the relativelyunimportant noise made by theexplosion of a paper bag raisesthe pressure of the brain morethan morphine or any otherdrug known to man.

Dr. Foster Kennedy, of thecommission, conducted experi-ments at Bellevue with the as-sistance of persons who had inthe past undergone operationswhich involved removing a partof the skull and replacing thescalp. It was possible to get anaccurate record of the pressureon the brain by placing a smalldrum containing a partial vac-uum on the area of the headwhere the skull was gone. Thedrum registered all the vibra-tions of the brain lying beneathit. This, of course, was painlessand harmless to the subject.

Dr. Kennedy found that whena paper bag was exploded behindthe subject's back the noise ofthe explosion raised the brainpressure to four times the nor-mal for seven seconds. Evenmorphine and nitroglycerine donot have so violent an effect.-(James Flexner, Secretary ofthe N. Y. Noise Abatement Com-mission, in the United StatesDaily.)

Sodium Amytal Used AsAn Anesthetic

Sodium-iso-ethyl-barbituratewas first used in 1920 as an ex-perimental anesthetic, consideredunsafe, and virtually abandoned.In 1929 Drs. Zerfus and McCall-um, of the Indianapolis CityHospital, revived it and used itsuccessfully in over 300 cases ofgeneral surgery. Since theirwork, much experimental workhas been and is being done withthis anesthesia.

Sodium Amytal is chiefly in-dicated as a supplemental anes-thesia. Used as such in 3,000cases it has reduced the amountof nitrous oxide, ethyelene gas,or ether necessary by as muchas 80%.

When given intravenously,sleep is produced within threeto five minutes by five grainsgiven slowly at the rate of oneand one-half grains per minute.Optimum dose is from seven toten grains. Morphine is usuallyused as a preliminary medica-tion as it renders the action ofsodium amytal more uniformand almost immediate in effect.The patient becomes drowsy,eyes focus with difficulty, speechbecomes slurred, and he passesinto deep sleep without strug-gling or experiencing any senseof suffocation.

Metabolically there is a slightchange in the C02 combiningpower of the blood; urinary out-put is decreased temporarily butis compensated for in that thepatient can take water and otherfluids much sooner than thosereceiving ether, because of theabsence of post-anesthesia nau-sea; the blood-pressure is low-ered up to 30 points but can be

controlled; breathing is regulaibut slightly decreased.

In coming from under theanesthesia the patient is disoriented and talks incoherentlysoon becomes conscious but isdrowsy and for several hourssleeps at short intervals; there isno nausea or discomfort.

The same results are obtainedby administration orally or rectally but are, of necessity, slow-er in taking effect.

Sodium amytal permits theinduction of natural sleep with-out the disturbing and apprehen-sive struggling of the consciouspatient and with no post-opera-tive nausea and vomiting. Whenused supplemeentary to etherthis nausea is lessened, due tcthe reduced amount of ethernecessary. The prolonged post-operative somnolence lessensshock and retards realization ofpain, etc.

The dangers of intravenousadministration are: too rapid in-jection causes a depressing ef-fect on kidneys, respiration, andblood pressure; it is contra-in-dicated in cases of abnormallyhigh or low blood pressure, gen-eralized arterio-sclerosis, bron-chiectasis, and lung abscesses.Some of these are overcome byoral or rectal injection and theintravenous method may be usedonly in emergency. Extra nurs-ing is required to prevent swal-lowing the tongue and to turnthe patient frequently to preventpulmonary congestion. It may besaid that rectal and oral admin-istration is contra-indicated onlyin cases where other anestheticsare ruled against also.

Experiments as to the use ofsodium amytal in obstetrics andeclamptic convulsions indicategreat possibilities for it in thisfield.

'To summarize: the most use-ful role of sodium amytal atpresent is that of a hypnoticused as a pre-anesthetic agentthus allowing for a reducedamount of ether or other anes-thesia necessary.

Chairsfirst one was a high chair irthe nursery,

And toys and things upon thetrays were laid;

When folks would boost me urto its security,

I was the year-old king of allthat I surveyed.

A little red chair next in kinder-garten

With thirty other fellows ofits kind;

A larger one for teacher as sheschooled us

In things that should andshouldn't shape our mind.

And don't forget the chair inSmitty's,

The first time that I occupiedthat throne;

A little terrifying for the firsttime,

Until Dad bribed me with anice cream cone.

A chair of honor next was onmy schedule,

A college honor student wasmy fair;

The school was proud, and like-wise were my parents,

My name-still honored in therecords there.

A few more years, and hardwork in the meantime,

Hard work and business ethicsthat were firm;

And then the break-I'd slavedso long to get it-

A chair with the directors ofthe firm.

The market next began to woomy talents,

I played, and lost, and stolefrom funds in trust;

One junior clerk alone knew ofmy actions,

And I silenced him forever-dust to dust.

Another chair next carried onmy story,

The judge was seated on it formy trial;

The jury reached the verdict-prisoner guilty,

The sentence was pronouncedwithout a smile.

And now the final chair roundsout my story,

A black hood is my costumefor tonight;

Some straps and things insure aperfect sitting,

That others may distinguishwrong from right.

I've hoped these last short weeksthat He'll forgive me,

When I appear before Him'way up there;

To plead my case, like others bythe millions,

Before Him, in the final judg-ment chair.

Bones

(By A. Freshman)Bones is the lattice work on

which the body grows. If youdidn't have sum bones youwould be shaped like a custardpie. If I didn't have no bones, Iwouldn't have so much shape asI have now, and I wouldn't haveso much motion and teacherwould be pleased. Bones gimmemotion because they are some-thin' hard for motion to cling to.If I had no bones my brane,lungs, heart, and blood wouldbe lying around loose in me. Ifmy bones was stuck togetherwith wire in the right places itwould make me a skeleton. Iam mighty glad my skeleton wasput on the inside before I wasfinished, 'cause it looks betterthere. If my bones was on theoutside and I fell down, I wouldbreak everything in the place.Some animals wear their skele-tons on the outside. I'm glad Iain't them animals. Onct I wentto the circus and seen a livingskeleton. He looked like hisfolks didn't keep house, butboarded sum place.

If my bones was burned, Ishould be brittle because itwould take all the animal outof me. If I was soaked in acidI should be limber. Teachershowed me a bone that wassoaked and I could bend it. Ishould rather be soaked thanburned.

There is a grate many differ-ent kinds of bones. There is thecrazy bone, the wish-bone, thesoup bone, the trombone, andthe back bone. The back bone issituated just inside the peel, onthe other side from the frontand is filled with rubber, at leastthe one what Teacher showedus was.

The back bone is made up ofhumps with places in betweenwhere the humps has been leftout. When your skates fly out infront, and you sit down on theice, one end of the back boneis at the lowest side of thehead, if it don't punch up thru,and the other end is at the upperside of the ice.

There is another bone calledthe skull. The skull has humpstoo. Sometimes there is braneson the inside of the skull.

Bones don't grow solid likethe limbs on a tree 'cause theyhave joints. Joints is a goodthing to have in bones. There isa good many kinds of joints.They grease themselves anddon't squeak. You can move'cause you have joints.

There is a kind of fish calledshad that tastes like a paper ofpins. It is all bones except thepart they don't cook and throwaway.

When bones is ground up finethey make good fertilizer. Itgives me a lonesome, scatteredfeelin' and brings tears to myeyes to think that I might beused on an onion patch -(J. R. F.)

Freshman Class ComesFrom Fourteen States

Sixty-Three Students RepresentThirty-five Colleges

Miss Ava Johnson, of the col-lege faculty, recently completedan interesting survey of theFreshman Class. It was learnedthat 14 states and 35 differentinstitutions of higher learningare represented by the 63 stu-dents enrolled in this class. Atotal of 48 of the new studentscome to us from these 35 othercolleges.

Iowa leads the states with 19students, Michigan is second, andOhio is third. The other statesrepresented are: Pennsylvania,West Virginia, Illinois, SouthDakota, Nebraska, Maine, Mass-achusetts, Minnesota, Indiana,Kansas, and Wisconsin.

Drake U. of Des Moines leadsthe colleges with 9 representa-tives and the U. of Nebraska,Detroit Tech., Des Moines Cath-olic College, and the Universityof Commerce are tied for secondplace with two each. The othercolleges contributing to ourfreshman class are: WesternState (Mich,); Detroit City Col-lege; Rock Island Hosp. Train.School; Oberlin; Michigan State;Albia Jr. College (Ia.); ColoradoU.; Ill. State Normal; PracticalInstitute of Prarmacy (Det.);Columbia (Dubuque); ChicagoTraining School; Iowa State; Y.M. C. A. College (Chi.); WestVirginia Wesleyan; Lake ForestU.

Several of the students havebeen high school or college pro-fessors, three are registeredpharmacists, and so on. All thisclearly demonstrates the hightype of students being enrolledin osteopathic colleges.

Notice! Class of Jan. '29

Dr. Ray E. McFarland sug-gests that a round robin letterbe circulated amongst the mem-bers of this class and would liketo hear from those doctors. Dr.McFarland hopes that a contactthus established may be instru-mental in holding the class to-gether in the future.

Pres. Johnson To SpeakAt Kansas Convention

Dr. C. W. Johnson, presidentof the college, was in Wichita,Kansas, October 13-14 where hedelivered a series of three ad-dresses before the convention ofthe Kansas State Osteopathic As-sociation.

The subjects of Dr. Johnson'stalks were: "The Diagnostic Val-ue o- -Pain n; backache ; and"The Differential Diagnosis ofParalysis."

President Johnson is in con-stant demand as a conventionspeaker and fills as many ofthese engagements as his limit-ed time will permit. During theA. O. A. Convention in Seattlelast August, Dr. Johnson washonored by being selected to de-liver the "Memorial Address" ofthe Association. It is by means ofthis address that the A. O. A.makes its chief contact with thepublic during the convention per-iod and to be selected as thespeaker is one of the highesthonors the association can be-stow.

Dr. Halladay To Fill 3Speaking Engagements

Friday and Saturday, October9 and 10, Dr. H. V. Halladay, ofthe college faculty, appeared aslecturer and demonstrator of Os-teopathic Technique at the con-vention of the Missouri State Os-teopathic Association in SaintLouis. Each year Dr. Halladay'sspeaking services are demandedby various state conv-entiol-s andthe Missouri organization is veryfortunate in securing him for theoccasion.

Monday evening, October 19,Dr. Halladay will deliver a lec-ture on Osteopathy before theParent-Teachers Association ofthe public schools of PilotMound, Iowa. A public contactof this sort is valuable to Osteo-pathy and we know that, in viewof Virge's long proven speakingability, our profession will begreatly benefited by his talk inPilot Mound.

On October 28th, Dr. Halladayis to speak to the District Con-vention at Garner, Iowa. Thedoctor's appearance at these var-ious district meetings are fre-quent and those in attendancenever fail to benefit thereby.

Dismiss Classes in Honorof G. A. R.

Wednesday morning, Septem-ber 16, all classes at Still weredismissed in honor of the agedveterans of the Civil War, whoheld their 65th annual conven-tion in Des Moines, September14 to 17, inclusive.

All students viewed the fam-ous "Parade of the Grand Armyof the Republic." Led by the U.S. Army band, over 500 old sol-diers, the youngest 82, marched

ited steps over the mile-and-aquarter parade route. Over athousand more, too aged tomarch, rode in autos.

It may be that this offered thelast opportuntiy for Still Collegeand its student body to showtheir reverence and respect forthese grand old men. Fast thin-ning- ran-ks an. an. n ,verag e -eof 87 precludes the likelihood ofmany more active conventions ofthe Grand Army.

We of Still College join in ex-tending to the "Boys in Blue"our heartfelt felicitations, andwish them "goodspeed and Godbless you."

The semi-annual FreshmanSmoker was held Thursday, Sep-tember 10. We were gratified bythe large attendance, and aresure that Dr. Marshall's talk on"Fraternity Life" and Dr. Hal-ladays motion picture of the"Halladay Tour of 1931" wereenjoyed immensely by all pres-ent.

The Pledge Dance was held atthe chapter house on Friday,September 25. The largest dele-gation of alumni in many moons,coupled with the almost 100 percent attendance of the brothers,made this one of the most enjoy-able evenings possible. The mu-sic was furnished by the orches-tra from Miss La Cuta's. A fea-ture of the evening was the deli-cious punch made by Mrs. RoyMount and Mrs. Harold Stevison.

We were very glad to have asvisitors during the past monthDrs. C. H. Fedson of St. Ansgar,Iowa; Roy Trimble of Montezu-ma, Iowa; Al Nelson of Ackley,Iowa; and Bernard Jones of Spir-it Lake, Iowa.

An Osteopathic ArticleBy Dr. R. S. Copeland

(Editorial)Without mentioning osteop-

athy or giving osteopathic physi-cians any credit whatsoever, Dr.Royal S. Copeland wrote, in hissyndicated "Your Health" col-umn, Sept 2, as pronounced anosteopathic argument as ever ap-peared in any osteopathic publi-cation. No person in possessionof the facts could fail to readosteopathy between every line inthis article which Dr. Copelandcleverly called "Poor PostureCauses Many Aches and Ills." Noperson who ever had osteopathiccare could fail to see that theDoctor made a somewhat crudeattempt to give to medicine thecredit for the discovery of therelationship of poor posture andstructural deviations to health.

Let us see just what the Doc-tor said in this article:-"It was200 years ago that attention wasfirst turned to the importance ofgood posture. * * * This theorywas never seriously considereduntil about 25 years ago."

(The Doctor seems to forget thatDr. Still preached and practicedthis and more way back in the1870's.)

"Orthopedic surgeons, as wellas baby specialists, have noticedthat many children fail to gainin weight and have marked di-gestive disturbances. Althoughthere is no trouble in the dietand' there is plenty of food, thecomplaints of these children areus a ll1vassociated with poorbody posture. As soon as thebody has been trained to theproper posture and, as thesemen call it, 'proper body mech-anics', there is an increase in theweight and the digestive distur-bances disappear."

("Proper body mechanics" is aterm used by osteopathic physic-ians for many years and the dis-coveries made here by Dr. Cope-land have been commonplace inthe osteopathic profession since itsinception.)

"For many years it has beenknown that sluggish bowels,which are irregular and tend to-wards constipation, become ac-tive and regular when there isimprovement in the body pos-ture. There is no doubt that in-crease in body vigor, as well asmental alertness, go hand inhand with improvement in thebody posture and muscle tone."

(Tf + ~'l I,-, 1~ ue 1ano wn.rv\- ' itnis nas Deen Known for"many years" why has Dr. Cope-

land and his medical brethren sobitterly opposed osteopathy overthe same number of years? Osteo-pathy has been merely preaching

and practicing the very identicathings Dr. Copeland is now espous-ing.)

"Many individuals who donot hold themselves properly andneglect the proper erect positionoften complain of body disordersThey are likely to have actuapain, which is explained by theirritation of the spinal nervesdue to bad posture. These signsall disappear with the correctiorof the posture and the taking ofbody exercises."

(So-called medical authoritieshave maintained, ever since DrStill announced his discovery, thatpressure or irritation upon thespinal nerves as a result of poorposture, or vertebral deviations, ifyou please, was an anatomical andphysiological impossibility! Nowin Sept. 1931, one of the foremostdisciples of medical publicity de-clares that these structural devia-tions do occur and cause diseasesymptoms, but, at the same time,utterly fails to give osteopathycredit for the discovery of thissame fact some 60 years ago!)

"There is no doubt that ifthis condition could be entirelycorrected many chronic disordersof the body could be eliminated."

(Osteopathy has known this foryears and osteopathic physicianshave and are conclusively demon-strating the veracity of this state-ment-yet medicine is hailing itas something new and startling.)

What does all this mean?Simply this: medicine considersitself so omnipotent that it feelsthat it is commissioned from onhigh to say to osteopathy, "youcan not have anything that isours, but we are free to taken-n >TT"-vt *? i cr^ +'hat io w_ i r --„- i -_ _ ,II

IYLI 11116 1malt l yours, taKe ailthe credit for it, and relegateyou to obscurity." It seems hightime for our profession to uniteitself and see that osteopathy re-mains only for osteopathic phy-sicians.

* * * * :

ADDENDUM - After writingthe foregoing comments therecame to the writer's attention avery similar article syndicatedby James W. Barton, M. D., un-der the title "Modern Treatmentof Disease Relies Greatly onThese 'Natural' Methods." Inthis article Dr. Barton says,"The use of heat, massage, bath-ing, careful dieting, exercise,etc., can often do the completejob of restoring health, and it isunwise to use medicines thatmay upset the stomach or over-stimulate the heart, intestines,and other organs." He closes thearticle with this admonition tohis readers: "The thought thenis that if your doctor uses nat-ural methods instead of medi-cine * * * remember that heknows you, knows your ailment,and knows what best to do."Osteopathic? We think so-andyet, Dr. Brady would nevergrant that such was the case.

It is very possible that thesetwo very similar articles, syndi-cated for wide publication bymedical men, are harbingers ofwhat we may expect in the fu-ture on a much greater scale.True, they are black and whiteadmissions on the part of medi-cine of the truth of the ideasOsteopathy has been talking foryears. The thing we must do isto see that Osteopathy gets cred-it for them!

Autocondensation

C. H. Boening

(Editor's Note:-This is thethird article of a series on Phys-iotherapy, written by C. H. Beo-ning. The first two appearedin previous issues of the LOGBOOK.)

In the last article we discussedbriefly the clinical application ofDiathermia, and since some ofthe readers expressed a desire toread something about Autocon-densation, the writer will setforth here the little which isknown about it. There is no lit-erature of value concerning thistherapeutic modality, and theviews expressed in the followinglines are purely practical andpersonal.

What is meant by autoconden-sation? It is an electrical pro-cess by which every living cell inthe body is charged, as it were,with electrical energy. We thinkit can be safely called an electro-bio-chemical process.

Auto is derived from theGreek meaning self; condensa-tion from the Latin condensatio,or better, condensare-to con-dense, to press into smallerspace. At first sight, this termi-nology seems far-fetched andmisleading. Let us see. We haveelectrical condensers - instru-ments with which we store orcompress magnetic energy intosmaller spaces, e. g., radiocon-densers. They consist of electricand dielectric plates and spaces.Now we have the same thing inAutocondensation, the chair ortable pad is made up of a metalsheet the electric and an in-sulation-the dielectric. (So farwe have a one-plate condenser.)We add the living body to thiscombination (a conductor), andwe have a two plate condenser.The reader who is a radio fanwill now get the idea. Very well,if we connect this contraptionto a high-frequency apparatus,and start the thing up, we willcharge this human condenser.----- wh-at -is-the ±difference be-tween Diathermia and Autocon-densation? The source of ener-gy for both is the same, but themode of application and the ef-fects are different.

The patient is placed upon the· ad, which is connected to theHighvoltage or Odin terminal (ifwe want a low milliamperageand high oscillations, to theOdin only), then we give him ahollow metal handle to hold,which is fastened to the metro-outlet. The sparkgaps are closed,the machine turned on, then thegaps are slowly opened, thus in-creasing the milliamperage tothe desired volume. This is donein order to avoid shock to thevasomotor system. The writerprefers to make the electricalcontact on the leg or arm of thepatient by means of block tin forseveral reasons. First of all, itwill take away some of the fearthe patient has when he musthold the contact in his handsand is told not to let loose or

he will get burned; secondly, asa matter of safety and psychol-ogy; thirdly, this manner ofconnection will materially helptowards the complete relaxation,a thing which is very muchneeded for good results of thetreatment thus given, as the cen-ter of heat is near the point ofcontact.

For example, we have a caseof hypertension. The writerstarts with a milliamperage of200 and increases this to 500for a period of 25 minutes, thendecreases it again to 200 millis.for 5 minutes before he shuts offthe apparatus. In this way ourprocess of vasodilation proceedscautiously, the toxitity stirred upby this modus operandi does notcrowd the heart or the portalsystem, causing nausea, and theeffects will be surprising.

In some instances we can re-duce the systolic pressure from10 to 30 Mm. by the first treat-ment. It is generally admittedtoday that hypertension can begreatly benefitted by this modeof therapy. Right here I wantto call the reader's attention to avery important point, namely,hypertension caused by renalsclerosis should NOT be treatedin this way. If we have a dias-tolic pressure of 140 Mm., moreor less, and a systolic of 200 ormore, very little can be accom-plished by Autocondensation. Asa general average, 60 per cent ofall cases of hypertension whichhave not a high diastole (over120) will improve nicely underAutocondensation and Diather-mia through the heart. This ex-pression may shock many a read-er and sound ridiculous, still itis the most used application to-day in France and Germany, ac-cording to the latest reports.The author himself has used thisapplication for the last 5 yearswith surprising results.

However, Autocondensation isnot only used in high bloodpressure but also for the reliefof neuritis, tendosinovitis, amen-orrhea, dysmenorrhea, psycho-neurosis and sciatic rheumatism.Let us take neuritis of the del-told, for example. How wouldwe use this mode here? The pa-tient is placed upon the pad, thewetted block tin is fastened be-low the insertion of this muscle,and the current is turned on, asdescribed above, to the patient'stolerance, 500 to 1000 milliamps,for a period of 30 to 45 minutes.We probably get a light sweat,but that deltoid is relaxed, mus-cular waste products have beencarried off by the increased bloodstream to that point. In fact,a chemical change has beenbrought on in the affected area,the poor sufffferer has got re-lief, and is very grateful and sur-prised. He will be a booster forthe doctor.

How about sciatica? I don'tspeak here of the chronic or theshopper, we all know there aremany of these. But even theycan be very nicely helped by theuse of Autocondensation. Thewriter very seldom uses theSampson technique. Instead, we

place the patient on the pad asdescribed above; if the painshoots 'way down below the kneeor to the foot we place the barefoot in a basin of hot water inwhich we lay a piece of blocktin (Water is a good conductor);this is connected to the meter-side, and we treat this way for45 minutes. If the milliamper-age is too high, the patient willcomplain of increased pain, dueto the rapid vasodilation andchanged muscular chemistry.Lower your milliamps till hefeels comfortable. Some of thesecases do not respond at all tothis form of management, butthe first treatment will tell thetale; if there is more pain after,stop your treatments right there.(Perhaps Galvinism would be thenext treatment of choice.) Thewriter would like to go moredeeply into this matter, but spaceand time prohibits. Should anyof the readers desire more infor-mation on this subject, we willbe very glad to respond. Justwrite to the Editor of the LOGBOOK.

Osteopathy Barred FromProgress Exposition

American Medical Associationdomination over so-called "pub-lic" affairs was clearly illustrat-ed in a letter to the A. 0. A.from C. W. Fitch, Acting Direc-tor of Exhibits, Century of Prog-ress Exposition, Chicago.

Mr. Fitch stated in this letterthat all medical exhibits wouldbe^ cfined to 0thosethings whichwere recommended by the scien-tific advisory committee, which,in turn, was appointed by theAmerican Medical Association.By way of apology, Mr. Fitchadded, "Without pretending up-on the merits of the question,the arrangement will precludeexhibits by any cult or groupwhich practices special sorts ofmedicine. It will, therefore, beimpossible to admit osteopathicexhibits."

In other words, an exhibitiondesigned to bring to the publicthe progressive things man hasaccomplishedin the past centurybars the only real progressive de-parture in therapeutics! Thisplanting of A. M. A. members ina systematic manner in all en-terprises of the day is a thingwhich the osteopathic professioncannot afford to allow to con-tinue. That such an antiquatedstructure as orthodox medicineshould be permitted to dominatean exhibition of "progress" is, ofcourse, ludicrous. Nevertheless,that is precisely what is happen-ing and what has happened.Might we suggest that you watchthe Journal of the A. 0.

Psi Sigma Alpha ToInstall Chapter Here

Psi Sigma Alpha, nationalhonorary osteopathic fraternity,is happy to announce the instal-lation of its Gamma chapter atStill College. This organizationis one of the two honorary fra-ternities recognized by the A. 0.A., and has chapters at Kirks-ville and Kansas City. Duringthis year,, tw new cha.pters. areto be organized, of which the lo-cal group is one. It lists amongits honorary and alumni mem-bers Drs. A. C. Hardy, GeorgeLaughlin, Charles Still, ArthurBecker, president of the A. 0. A.,W. M. Pearson, and Yale Castlio.

Psi Sigma Alpha is primarilya scholastic organization, and assuch requires high scholastic at-tainments of all its candidates,pledges, and members. With thisin mind, the Alpha Chapter sentCharles Still Jr., Arthur Crow-der, and Carleton Towne to in-vestigate the eligible men and se-cure the endorsement of the in-structors. As a result, the follow-ing men were pledged and willbe considered charter members:H. H. Kestenbaum, Howard Gra-ney, Lou Kestenbaum, J. RobertForbes, Dene Moore, WilliamBlackwood, Ed King, HowardToepfer, E. C. Brookman, Rus-sell McLaughlin, Winston Law-rence, and John Stivenson. Dr.J. R. Beveridge has been selectedas one of the honorary facultymembers.

The national organization lim-its each chapter to one man forevery twelve registered in thecollege, hence Gamma Chapter

men. Faculty membership is lim-ited to three men. Candidatesare selected solely on their sco-lastic averages and attitude inthe classroom, and must have theunqualified endorsement of theirinstructions.

The formal installation will beconducted by a degree team fromthe national chapter, of whichDr. Earl Laughlin, Jr., is presi-dent, and will be followed by abanquet

Sigma Sigma Phi ToSponsor Dance

Beta Chapter of Sigma SigmaPhi, honorary fraternity, an-nounces that it will sponsor anall-school dance at the Commo-dore Hotel, November 20. Lastyear this organization sponsoreda similar function, which wassuch a great success that it wasdecided to continue the dances.

This band has an envi-able reputation in the MiddleWest, and the musical portion ofthe program is certain to be ofthe best. Admission will be onedollar per couple. Every studentin the college is cordially invitedto attend the party and a royaltime is assured.

President C. W. JohnsonAbolishes Assemblies

Due to the apathetic attitudeof the student body and the lackof representative attendance atthe weekly convocations, Dr. C.W. Johnson, president of the col-lege, announced Friday, October30, that these functions wouldcease, and full class scheduleswould be in force each Fridayfrom that date. This means thepassing of the only student-bodyfunction of the college.

While Dr. Johnson's decisionis not unexpected, it is deploredby those students who realize thegreat value to be derived fromsuch a function. It is entirely dueto the grade-school-like attitude

had never had previous experi-ence in the contacts and broad-ening influence of all-student get-togethers.

While this unexplainable atti-tude on the part of over fifty percent of the student body was theimmediate cause of this move,the faculty members were ad-monished by the President fornot securing speakers and enter-tainment of such a character asto make the assemblies more of adrawing card.

It is to be hoped that the stu-dents quickly realize the magni-tude of their error and unani-mously request that this onlystudent-body function be re-stored. Without it, the schoolloses many valuable contacts, andthus suffers , as well as the stu-dents themselves.

The first issue of the XiphoidBulletin brought in a very grati-fying group of letters. Amongthose heard from were Drs. Ken-ny Moore, Bobby Homan, FrankDornbush, Barton Treat, L. P.St. Amant, and Bro. Reggie Sut-ton. Brother Sutton is absentthis semester but hopes to beback in January.

We received a very welcomeletter from Donald "Army" Arr-ington of Spencer, Iowa. Armywas to have been back with usthis fall but the great Spencerfire last summer removed hisplace of employment and hiswages suddenly ceased. HoweverArmy promises to be here asqrorn a o nna.rihl and Twox honn

theatre party at the Princess.The first five rows were reservedfor the boys and a 100% turnoutwas recorded. This party was ahuge success; the show was 0.K.-especially the fourteen chor-us girls-and all hope to repeatthe function soon.

Casey Kessler is now a full-fledged cowboy. While enroute tohis home in Radcliffe a fewweeks ago, Casey was picked upas an assistant by a cowherderwho happened to be driving hiscattle the direction of Casey'shome city (?). Brother Kessler,ever willing to be of assistance,plunged wholeheartedly into thework. As a result of his zeal aspecial award or decoration ofdistinction was bestowed uponhim. For further particulars, seeCasey.

Oct. 31 we held our annualHalloween party. The house wasdecorated in an appropriate man-ner and the "Gold Bar", tendedby Barkeep Mount, functioned inan imposing manner. The partywas a hard-time masquerade andthe ingenuity shown in povertycostume manufacture was amaz-ing. However, popular opiniongives the first prize for costumes,a calico bicycle, to Harry Taylor.Decorations and program wereentirely in the hands of thepledges, under the chairmanshipof Hasselman and Baird andthey did a right good job of it.All agree that thiswas one ofthe outstanding social events ina number of seasons, all thanksto our pledges. Dr. Fred Camp-bell was present as our alumniguest of the evening.

Pledge Andreen has not beennoticed falling for anyone thisyear but he did fall majestically,pompously and completely infront of a beautiful blonde onthe street car. Tiny's story isthat he was watching a firetruck and fell for it; that's hisstory and he sticks to it. How-ever, the patrons of the streetcar company were well enter-tained and, judging from themirthful response, appreciatedClemmy's solo dive.

It is with the greatest ofpleasure that we welcome Ed-mund Baird, Shelby, Ohio, andWarren Hasselman, Oskaloosa,Iowa, into the brotherhood ofthe Atlas Club. Brothers Bairdand Hasselman were mid-yearpledges last year and completedtheir second degree November 2.

If it is impossible to organizein its present condition the Blueand White Club will discontinueuntil its membership is increasedto the necessary number. Theclub feels that the present nameis fictitious and that it is use-less to continue under it; ourrightful name will be more ofan incentive to accomplish ourpurposes for organization. Wehope and expect a favorable re-ply.

DELTA OMEGA(By Vi)

The evening of October 22, theDelta Omega actives, field andhonorary members entertained+1th freshman girls at Dr. IrmaTownsend's country home with a"Dutch Supper." After consum-ing everything edible (leave thatto Norma, Rachel and Harriette)the field and honorary membersheld a brief business meeting,and elected officers to fill thechairs for the coming year.

The actives, field and honorarymembers decided to have apledge dinner before Christmas.

One of our members is surelydoing her bit for athletics. Goover to the Y. W. some Thursdaynight and watch Rachel do herstuff.

We wonder how Norma Leeenjoyed her date with CharlieStill.

Vi entertained Charles Still,Jr., Art Crowder, and CarlTowne, of Kirksville College, ather home for lunch last Friday.

Delta Omega finds some likelymaterial in the freshman classthis year. Announcements later.

Rachel entertained her boyfriend, Harold Harryman, of

Delhi, over the week end. Theysaw Des Moines from the skies,and, oh, everythin'.

It has been called to our at-tention that Delta Omega wasfounded in 1904, instead of 1909as stated in the Log Book lastsummer.

IOTA TAU SIGMA(B. Herbert)

The inevitable is here again.The freshmen seem to take greatdelight in looking through bookscovering the toughest subjectspossible, memorizing a few bigwords and then questioning theupper classmen as to meaning,cause and cure. Somewhere, I be-lieve, there is a cure for that!

We have just been informedthat Brother Hall has madespecial arrangements with theU. S. postal authorities for thedelivery of mail from Xenia, O.It is believed that from now oncharges are to be made accord-ing to the weight. The lettersare to be stacked and deliveredtwice a day. Brother Hall hasn'tdone right by the boys here, itwas formerly thought that hewas quite an authority on wo-men but-well, for further in-formation, see table five in dis-section any afternoon.

As is the usual custom, Hallo-ween was celebrated in the formof a dance. The house was beau-tifully decorated with trimmingsin accordance with the season ofthe year. Corn fodder, pumpkins,colored lights, and weird posterswere much in evidence. All thatwas lacking was a few cows andother farm-like animals. Every-one wore old clothes and whentwelve o'clock rolled around,everyone was sorry to go. It wasa great dance. We had the pleas-ure of having for our guests Dr.Ray McFarland of Blockton, Ia.,and two of our co-eds withfriends from the Kirksville Col-lege of Osteopathy.

It is with a great deal ofpleasure that we announce thepledging of two more men, Ed-win Ramsey and Robert Hazel-wood. These men are by nomeans strangers, both being up-per classmen. At any time thisfraternity can be of help tothese men, we certainly are will-ing to cooperate to the fullestextent.

Brother McLaughlin has gonein for trapping. This can be ver-ified by Brother Cichy and thestatement "mousy got caught ina trap" brings tears to his eyesat any time it is stated. How-ever, it should be said in a darkroom for the greatest effect.

This is just a reminder to Bro.Hurd that he is expected to tellus more about his intimatefriend "The Duke."

Thanksgiving is just aroundthe corner and this fraternityhopes everyone in the college en-joys it to the utmost.

PHI SIGMA GAMMA(R. F. Allen)

The annual Pledge-Halloweendance was held at the house onFriday, Oct. 30, amidst corn-stalks, pumpkins, leaves, etc. The

Once more the boys are pound-ing the maples at the Grand Al-leys. The Sigma Sigma Phi Inter-fraternity match is well under-way. Our boys are in first placeand we hope that they will beable to repeat their fine per-formance of last year and winthe cup again. The men who arebowling are: L. E. Jagnow, M.J. Schwartz, W. Brace, R. W.Wilburn, and H. R. Seelye.

Professional Enthusiasm

(An Editorial)

Every great and command-ing moment in the annals ofthe world is the triumph ofenthusiasm. Nothing was everachieved without it.-Emerson.

* * *

This is the third editorial inwhich I have used a bit of Em-erson's wisdom as a text. Onecannot read Emerson withoutfinding countless rare gems suchas the one above. Emerson wasa genius-why? Because he wasfull of enthusiasm, he believedin and worked for his chosenwalk of life.

Osteopathy stands today be-cause of the enthusiasm of A. T.Still, Wm. Smith, M. A. Lane,and hundreds of others. It livestoday because of the enthusiasmof the several thousand osteo-pathic physicians who are do-ing things, who are sending stu-dents to our colleges, who notonly are members of their stateand national organizations, butwho get behind these organiza-tions and fight for their profes-sion.

All osteopathic physicians inthe field should be behind theirprofession in this manner, butmany of them do not seem to re-alize that the little cog they

push; if you are, try and sparea little more time if possible.

Read that five-year plan forosteopathic development andthen go to work. The next fiveyears will see the most deter-mined opposition to osteopathyin all its history. Osteopathy,with your 100% enthusiastic anddetermined support cannot falteror fail. Let's have that support,and, by the way, one of the easi-est and best ways to begin is tosee that the mid-year class atStill College is the-largest in thehistory of the institution.

Polk County AssociationDines at Smouse School

Over 75 members and guestsof the Polk County OsteopathicAssociation gathered at SmouseOpportunity School, Friday eve-ning, Oct. 30, for a banquetmeeting of the group.

Following the dinner, MissJohnson, superintendent of theschool, spoke on "The GeneralPlan Followed at the SmouseSchool." Before a child may en-ter the school he must show anintelligence quota of over 70.Five types of children are taken,orthopedics, infantile paralysis,cardiac, vision, and deafness.The children are made to feelfree and unhampered by theirweakness.

Miss Anderson, who hascharge of the Physio-Therapy de-partment, next spoke of herwork in the school. All types ofphysio-theraphy are used at theschool and the best of healthcare is maintained.

THE LOG BOOK


After a popular selection en-titled "I Found a Million DollarBaby" by the band, the meetingwas turned over to Dr. C. F.Spring.

Without further ado, DoctorSpring introduced Mr. Powe-shiek, an Indian of the tribe ofthe Sacs and Foxes. Mr. Powe-shiek said that there are over200 different tribes of AmericanIndians, all with different speech,dress, customs, etc. The Sacsand Foxes were sent to a reser-vation in Kansas shortly afterthe Civil War, but the climatedid not agree with them, andthey were rapidly decimated byillness. These Indians then pro-ceeded to raise enough money totransport themselves back toIowa to a spot near Tama, wherethey purchased enough land toset up their private dwellingplaces. The government then re-fused to pay the tribe its annu-ity, on the grounds that the peo-ple had forfeited this right whenthey left the reservation in Kan-sas. Today the Sacs and Foxeshave more than $400,000 in backannuity due from the FederalGovernment, and are waging afight to get this sum. At presentit appears as if they might besuccessful this winter.

Poweshiek went on to tell howhis father was much hated onthe reservation because he wasthe government policeman, and itwas his duty to compel the chil-dren to go to school. In the ear-lier days the Indians resentedbeing forced to send their littleones to the government schools,and would try every means tokeep them out. Today this haschanged, and the education ofIndian children is fast approach-ing the perfection of the educa-tion of white children. Powe-shiek was 7 years old before heknew a word of English andwhen he went to the govern-ment school in Flandreau, SouthDakota, he could understandonly the simpler English wordsand expressions. This would not

Government Indian schoolscover a course of three years.Academic subjects are taken inthe mornings and the afternoonsare devoted to occupationaltraining. The government paysall expenses at the college butall trips home during the threeyear period must be paid by thestudent himself. The schools areconducted according to militaryrules and drill is compulsory.Mr. Powesheik's talk was thor-oughly enjoyed by all present.

The assembly closed with theband-orchestra playing Purdy'sfamous "On Wisconsin."


The harmonious (?) strainsproduced by the band-orchestrain opening this meeting were ofthe now popular "When YubaPlays the Rumba on His Tuba"or, as Ballyhoo would have it,"When Yuba Plays the Rumble

on His Tummy." The secondnumber was the old favorite "Pa-gan Love Song", featuring achorus by Joseph Devine on thebanjo.

Dr. John Woods, officiating forthe third consecutive time, in-troduced Dr. Paul Park of DesMoines as the speaker of themorning. Dr. Park is vice presi-dent of the Iowa Osteopathic As-sociation, and last year hadcharge of the legislative commit-tee which waged such a valiantbattle on Capitol Hill.

"There is a decided move onfoot in the A. M. A.," Dr. Parksaid, "to stamp out Osteopathyand establish themselves as acomplete therapeutic monopoly.Now is the critical time; themedical men are now organizingcounty "Medical Units" whichbecome a part of the stateor county departments ofhealth-hence Osteopathy wouldbe excluded from all officialcontact with schools andother public organizations. Theonly way to battle such a ma-chine is to get behind all Os-teopathic organizations and makea great effort to elect only suchpublic officers as are open mind-ed and will vote for favorableand not class legislation.

"Injunctions against osteo-pathic physicians," continued theDoctor, "are now being obtainedin many states. If these in-junctions are fought and won,the decision is as good as a law,and would conclusively outlinethe scope of practice. '

In speaking of the state or-ganizations Dr. Park said, "Re-member that your state associa-tion is responsible for all therights and privileges you enjoy.It fights all your battles and isworking the year around for theprofession." All were urged tojoin their own state organizationas soon as they have graduated.

This assembly, probably thelast of the year, was one of themost valuable offered in sometime.

Although "Should Auld Ac-quaintance Be Forgot" wouldfirave'beenf a-ppropriate, iLhe band-

orchestra closed with the oldstirring march of Bagley, "Na-tional Emblem."

Freshman ReceptionHuge Success

On the evening of October 16,the student body of Still College,friends, and faculty gathered atHoyt Sherman Place to welcomethe new freshmen to the school.The attendance this year was thelargest recorded in several years,and conviviality permeated theatmosphere.

Bernie Lowe and his famousPatti's Cafeteria Orchestra fur-nished the syncopated strains forthe dancers. Bernie's music andentertainment was declared wellnigh perfect by those attendingthe function.

The double dance floor wascomfortably crowded during theentire evening. Refreshments in

the form of fruit punch wereserved to all.

This reception will undoubted-ly be one of the outstandingfunctions of this school year, andthe freshmen may well feel hon-ored that the college officiallygreets them in such a pleasura-ble and auspicious manner.

Resolution Adopted ByMichigan Board

The following resolution wasadopted by the Michigan StateBoard of Osteopathic examiners,October 27, 1931.

"It is the unanimous sense ofthis board that physicians regis-tered under Act 162, Public Actsof 1903 or amendments, have theunrestricted right to obtain reg-istration and recognition for al-coholic permits as it has in thepast approved of their narcoticregistration.

"It furthermore approves theadministration and prescribing,for internal and external use, ofantidotes, antiseptics, narcotics,parasiticides, or other means,measures or agencies in the pre-vention or alleviation of humansuffering and disease.

"Further, it is the sense ofthis board that there exists nolaw prohibiting the use of anymeans or measures whereby os-teopathic physicians and sur-geons may prevent disease orsave human life.

"Further, although the prac-tice of osteopathy is understoodto be that practice of the heal-ing art, and that school of medi-cine, which places chief empha-sis on structural integrity in thecausation of disease and whichemphasizes adjustment as thechief therapeutic measure, yet itholds that osteopathic physiciansand surgeons not only have theright, but are in duty bound totheir fellowmen to use every in-dicated scientific measure, includ-ing surgery, prescribing, diet, hy-drotherapy, and the use of rays,glands and psychological meth-ods as may prove necessary, forthe benefit of the patients, andthat all the above means are in-corporated in the curriculums ofof the approved colleges of os-teopathy accepted by the board.

"The Michigan State Board ofRegistration in Osteopathy andSurgery still further holds thatno sect, school, or group of menhave any corner, monopoly, orcopyright upon knowledge orupon the truth."

Resolution passed unanimously.Dr. Mark Herzfeld, Pres.Dr. John Wood, V. Pres.Dr. H. Conklin, Sec.Dr. L. Verna Simons.Dr. W. S. Mills.

This means that each stu-dent graduating from Still actu-ally attends seven or more cases.This is not sitting in a pit orother room and watching theprogress of the case with some-one else making the delivery.Actual contact and doing thework just as if you were in prac-tice is a part of the training ofevery Still College senior.

The list of over 2,000 refers tocases handled by our seniors inhomes. It does not include thecases that, for various reasons,are taken to the hospital, andwhich would add to the total anadditional 152 names for thefourteen-year period.

In looking through the figures,some of the facts are outstand-ing. Only three mothers havedied as a result of pregnancy, inmore than two thousand cases.This is unique in such records.There was a total of 52 babiesborn dead, a percentage of 2.63.Excluding all fetal deaths occur-ring before the onset of labor,and including the deaths duringthe first ten days, gives a fetalmortality of less than 1.5 percent! This is another remark-able fact. All through the reportthere are figures that make youstop and think of the value ofosteopathy in work of this kind,and also what organized and sys-tematized departmental work canand does do. Dr. Bachman is to becongratulated for this fine rec-ord, and Mr. Armbrust is deserv-ing of our sincere gratitude forthe excellent way in which hehas presented this important con-tribution to our literature. Thiswork not only represents an en-tire summer's work in time, butalso painstaking care and initia-tive in tabulation.

Dr. Marshall is com-pleting his tour of inspection ofall the chapters of the AtlasClub.

Dr. Robert Bachman spoke tothe assembled membership onthe evening of Nov. 30. He dis-cussed the theory of OsteopathicTherapy and demonstrated var-ious types of technique. Dr.Bachman always presents a mostinteresting and instructive bit ofwork and we very much appre-ciate having had him with us.

Fiveyears later they moved to Mary-ville, Mo., where they lived un-til they came to Kirksville tostudy osteopathy. Both weregraduated from the A. S. O. in1895 and in 1898 Dr. Still help-ed found the Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy and serv-ed as its president until it wassold in 1905. He practiced inDes Moines, until the fall of1913 when he and Dr. Ella re--u-i- -n---.- T2o.Kl-irkX-11-e A fter thedeath of his son, Dr. GeorgeStill, on Nov. 23, 1922, he be-came president of the AmericanSchool of Osteopathy, servinguntil 1924.

During his years of teachinganatomy in the colleges, Dr.Still was recognized as an in-spirational guide to many youngpeople taking up the study ofosteopathy, encouraging themin that first year when entranceinto technical study seems par-ticularly difficult. Since 1924 hehad lived in retirement.

Dr. Still was an omnivorousreader and for about eight yearswrote a weekly column, "Com-ments", for the KirksvilleGraphic. Even to the last heproduced his copy and the finalcolumn was pulished the day hedied. He received a degree inlaw from Drake University and,although he never practiced,maintained a live interest inlaw, devoting a great deal oftime to reading cases.

His hobby was in thoughtfulacts for others, particularly thepoor.

Still CollegeD.M.S.C.O. was founded in

1.898 by a group of educators,led by Dr. S. S. Still, for thepurpose of establishing an os-teopathic college in a centrallylocated city where clinical ma-terial would be virtually unlim-ited. Their purpose was to raisethe educational standards ofthe profession and put osteop-athy on an equal footing witholder schools of the healing art.

Prominent among the spon-sors associated with Dr. Stillwere Col. A. L. Conger, an Ohiostatesman, Dr. Ella D. Still, wifeof Dr. S. S. Still, and Prof. Wil-fred Riggs, previously a memberof the faculty of the IdahoState Normal School. The col-

lege as organized at that timewas known as the "Dr. S. S.Still College of Osteopathy."

Still College sincerely regretsthe passing of this great man.Always, in future growth anddevelopment, will the firm prin-ciples and traditions laid downby Dr. Still guide this college togreater service to the profession.

Endocrines and the Os-teopathic Physician

[Editor's Note: The follow-ing articles are a transcrip-tion of a lecture by the samename delivered before the A.O. A. Convention of 1929, inDes Moines, Iowa.]

* * *

I believe the osteopathic phy-sician is atrafficking in endocrinetherapy and does not know it! Itis very apparent that osteopathictechnique has a direct bearingon endocrine physiology whichno drug, or even extract feeding,can approach. It cannot be de-nied that extracts and dessicatedmaterials must lose at least aportion of their potency in prep-aration, hence, if the natural se-cretions are stimulated by osteo-pathic treatment, far more prom-ising results are obtained by thismethod.

One of osteopathy's foremostscientists and research workerssaid that he believed much of theremarkable achievement in oste-opathic therapy was the result ofinadvertent endocrine stimula-tion and control. For instance,an osteopathic physician special-izing in cervical technique alonemay modify liver conditions, re-lieve certain anemias, and bringabout a change in distant condi-tions which nervous control alonecannot account for. Thus theendocrines affected by cervicaltreatment alone are worthy ofstudy.

A medical physician said to agraduate of Still College a fewyears ago: "I would admire andappreciate what you people (os-teopathy) are accomplishing, ifyou knew what you were doing.I see what you are doing me-chanically, but I don't know whyit results as it does, and none ofyou can tell me." The implica-tion is that the science whichyou, as osteopathic physicians,are practicing, is greater thanthe practitioner knows. Further-more, endocrine control is onebranch in which you are supreme-and you don't know it! Thenext time you give a treatment,give some thought to the endo-crine angle of it, see if you can-not readily explain some of yourresults by the control you exertover this complex system ofglands.

Another thing worthy of studyis the close association betweenendocrines and vitamines. Thisassociation is almost only pre-monition now, but the writingis on the wall-watch for it, anddo not be surprised. When firstsuggested it was scoffed at, be-cause there were but threeknown vitamines and eight endo-crines. In the spring of 1929 themedical magazines began report-ing findings leading to the beliefin the existence of eight vita-mines, to be numbered from A toH inclusive. This story is notnearly all told as yet.

The secretions of the endo-crine glands are essentially chem-ical catalysts, or equilibrizers,

poured constantly into the bloodstream, and reaching and con-trolling far distant cells in thebody. Their importance is in-dicated by the influence theywield over the three followingsides of every individual.

CURRICULUM


just passed, Still College seniorstok care of the four local highschools, the Catholic Academy,Valley Junction High School andthe Freshman Squad at DrakeUniversity. During the basket-ball season which is about toopen we will take care of teamsin these same schools togetherwith several local commercialteams. In the Spring this workwill turn to track and baseball,and during the Drake Relays wewill send about twenty seniorsout to take care of collegeteams that are visiting here inDes Moines and competing inthat great national track andfield meet.

Last spring, during the bas-ketball tournaments, we hadcalls from several outside teamsfor help in caring for injuredplayers. Some of these coachescame with letters from their lo-cal osteopathic physicians whocould not accompany the teambut who realized the importanceof treatment in some cases andappreciated the service we areglad to offer at such times. Dur-ing the past football season ourseniors not only worked withthe boys on the home fields butmany times were taken on tripswith the team, acting as theofficial physician in each case.

Every type of acute traumat-ic injury has come under the ob-servation of our seniors. Weknow what to expect in the wayof pathology when we send ourboys out to care for a team and,for this purpose, we give a spec-ial course in the "Treatmrt-85-,Athletic Injuries" in the Junioryear before the student is allow-ed to enter the clinic. Thiscourse not only covers the diag-nosis and treatment of the var-ious injuries but also takes upthe ethics and methods of mak-ing contacts with the athleticcoaches and managers. It is ourplan to train each student thor-oughly in this most importantof our specialties and our suc-cess in this line is plainly evi-dent by the success of our stu-dents in the field. They leaveStill College with a confidenceborn of actual experience-theyknow that Osteopathy is essen-tial in the successful care oiathletes and they know how toapply their knowledge.

Weekly AssembliesReinaugurated

After an absence of twomonths our weekly convocationsare once again a part of thestudent activities. Many letterswere. received from the alumnideploring the fact that it wasfound necessary to dispense withthese gatherings and, followingthe circulation -of petitions ireach of the classes, it was de-cided to start them again onFriday, January 8.

In the meantime the assemblyroom has been completely re-decorated, the stage has beenmoved and rebuilt, velvet drapeswere hung as a stage back-ground and to enhance theacoustics of the room, and last,but not least, a complete newset of opera seats was installed.Still College now boasts of oneof the best and most modernconvocation halls to be found inany college near its size.

Our scholarship idea is now areality. We are announcing thiscontest publically and expect analmost nationwide response. Thealumni have not rallied about aswell as they could have butthose who did, responded insuch a liberal manner that thealumni quota was almost filled.To Grand Noble Skull Marshallmust go a great share of thecredit for the realization of thisplan. We expect all of you to en-ter prospects in the contest-write now for blanks.

Larry Theberge has beenelected official letter-mailer forthe Club. His nightly call "anylettahs to mail" usually elicits adeluge of epistles to be sent tothe "deah ones."

Every one seems to be crack-ing the old books a bit harderand a bit later than has beencustomary for some time. Per-haps imminent finals are a guid-ing factor in this extra expendi-ture of scholastic energy.

We regret to see Bros. HarryTaylor and Marion Crawfordleave us at the end of the se-mester, but we rejoice withthem upon the attainment oftheir collegiate ambitions. TheSemi-Annual Banquet in theirhonor will be held in the Kirk-wood Hotel, Wednesday evening,January 13.

The annual Christmas Party,held December 16, was a grandaffair. The house decorationswere elaborate and beautiful,Santa had a gift for each ladypresent, Walt Woods presentedhis incomparable dance music,and nihe evening went aown inAtlas tradition as one never tobe forgotten.

Bro. Harold MacDonald, hav-ing taken the fatal leap duringthe holidays, is no longer withus as a house resident. We ex-tend to Mac and his bride ourheartiest congratulations andour best wishes for a lifetime ofhappiness and prosperity.

Our New Year Reso-lutions

Urged by a sudden and uncon-trollable desire to reform our-selves, it is quite customary atthis time of the year for us hu-mans to make various and sun-dry "Resolutions." We oftenwonder whether this customoriginated years ago when manfirst lifted himself into higherplanes and began to measuretime, whether or not it is com-mon to all races, or whether ornot it is merely another mani-festation of "Americana." In thelight of some of the resolutions,the latter seems quite probable-it would very well go hand inhand with such brilliant Ameri-can customs as flagpole sitting,marathon dancing, and jig-timejazz.

These resolutions, so gliblymade at the start of each newyear, are the subject matter formuch of our humor of the sea-son and, as a rule, are not takenseriously either by the resolv-ing one or his friends or his rel-atives. Of course there are ex-ceptions, no doubt many personshave made resolutions at the newyear, kept them faithfully, andbettered themselves thereby.

We are going to follow thecrowd and make two resolutions.We hope they will be the excep-tion to the rule, and, with theco-operation of our readers, weknow that they will be.

First, we resolve to bend everyeffort to increase-the -news valueof the LOG BOOK. We hope thateach issue will contain items ofinterest to students, students-to-be, alumni, and friends.

Secondly, we resolve to do ourbest to make the LOG Book ofgreater service to the profession.This we hope to accomplish bymeans of an active editorial pol-icy and by the publication ofvaluable and interesting scientificarticles such as the present se-ries by Miss Johnson.

There are four remaining is-sues of this volume of the LOGBook. Perhaps this does notgive us much chance to carry outour resolutions to their utmostpossibilities, but we do hope tomake a great stride toward theattainment of our ambition.With your assistance, the papershall grow in value and impor-tance with each subsequentissue.

Even the "father of medicine"Hipnpocrates, taught the value offresh air.

Convocation, Jan. 8To Dr. R. B. Bachman goes

the honor in presenting the firstin the new series of convoca-tions. A goodly turnout waswell entertained by Chief LoneStar, a Cherokee Indian. TheChief opened his entertainmentby singing. He is the possessorof a rich baritone voice, andplays his own piano accompani-ments. He next whistled a med-ley made up of "Drink to MeOnly With Thine Eyes" and"Mighty Lak a Rose." As a spe-cial encore he closed by singingan old Cherokee Pow-Wow andSun Dance.

Chief Lone Star next toldsome very interesting anecdotesconcerning his difficulties inlearning the English language.He then told us some facts con-cerning East Indian philosophywhich were instructive as wellas interesting. He closed by say-ing: "Develop a beautiful per-sonality, believe in yourself andin your goods and you will haveno trouble in creating a placefor yourself in the world. Themagnitude of your place in theworld is up to you; as a manthinks within himself, so willhe be."

I _Physiology and Histology

By Ava L. Johnson

The general physiology course(excluding nervous physiology)at Still College is a thoro andacademic study of the science ofthe normal processes of thebody. The structure of theparts, the chemistry, the physicsand the physiologic control oftheir functions come under care-ful survey. It is the belief of theinstructor that a group of stu-dents entering a professionwhich uses so challenging a slo-gan as "Nature's Way" shouldbe well grounded in a workableunderstanding of physiologicalactivity. To this end, action andinteraction and relation and in-terrelation are studied. Especialstress is laid upon those factorsin physiology which make thebackground for understandingfunctional disorder and the nor-mal which must be approxi-mated by the corrective meas-ures. The physiological princi-ples which must underline intel-ligent, selective and successfulOsteopathic therapy are empha-sized.

The Fall semester includesphysiology of the circulatory,respiratory and muscular sys-tems. A study manual of ques-tions over these systems hasbeen developed which is used asa basis for daily quizzing, forreference and for review. Thelaboratory manual has beencompiled to follow the lecturework closely and to exemplifyand emphasize the didactic prin-ciples. During the second semes-ter, physiology of digestive andendocrine systems is studied inthe same manner.

* * *Histology is considered in

this course not only microscopicanatomy but a necessary foun-dation for understanding physi-o-ogiea-lF-fu-tio-a--dl--i-a-t -iog-ical change. The tissues and or-gans of the body are groupedunder main divisions. In study-ing the structures of each div-ision, the similarities are notedand the differentiations empha-sized. Daily lecture and quizz isaugumented by use of the mi-croprojectoscope, by means ofwhich a slide of the materialunder discussion may be thrownupon the screen for classroomobservation and study.

Laboratory study parallelsthe lecture and classroom work.Here use is made of a manualwhich contains in outline, forreference, the smallest featuresof each structure in its properrelationship, and complete direc-tions for thoro microscopicstudy and recording of findings.

We've heard of postmen tak-ing a hike on their holidays-but when we saw, the other day,an osteopathic student at a bur-lesoue show-Well!

"Training is one thing, edu-cation another-but it is an-other which presupposes a suf-ficient amount of the first. Bothare purveyed by our institutionsof learning, and many a studentthinks that he is educated afterhe has submitted to a rigoroustraining. The judgement to dis-tinguish the one from the otheris something that comes withthe education itself.

"The process of impartingthat maturity of judgement bywhich th__ABeducated person dif-fers from the one who is merelyinformed, cannot be hastenedgreatly and can never be accom-plished in a hurry. Speed intraining is fine, admirable, andmuch to be desired. And it ispart of the business of ourschools to train. It is also partof their business to educate.And speed in education is nomore possible than speed in thebreeding of hogs.

"Education is an appreciationof excellence-a sense of values.An educated person is one whois capable of distinguishing theexcellent from the inferior, themore valuable from the less;and the process of getting aneducation is the process of get-ting the judgement to discrim-inate.

"The getting of a sense ofvalues is a process which cannotbe hurried. It is easier to hurrythe ripening of fruit. Fruit fre-quently ripens before it rots.But the judgement is alwaysrotten until it is ripe."

THE LOG BOOK

"Body Mechanics" and Pthe Medical Profession r

(An Editorial) ESome time ago the LOG BOOK t

printed an editorial entitled "An rOsteopathic Article by Dr. R. S. rCopeland." In this editorial the ewriter quoted Dr. Copeland tothe effect that he admitted therelationship of posture andfaulty body mechanics to health.The Doctor told of children Sshowing remarkable return to (health after correction of defec-tive body mechanics, he told of Ethe effect of said improper body Nmechanics on the digestion, bod-;ily vigor, resistance, and various ichronic conditions. In that edi-torial it was predicted that suchdeclarations on the part of med-(ical men were but harbingers of Iwhat might be expected in thefuture.

There recently came to the ed-itor a transcript of one of Dr. W. 1M. Pearson's speeches, in whichhe made reference to this very lthing. The following quotationsfrom a bulletin printed by theMedical Committee of the Na-tion Child Health and Protec-tion Committee were given byDr. Pearson:

"Clinical evidence may becomecumulatively impressive. A briefsummary of this evidence in re-lation to the association of goodbody mechanics with good healthin children may be stated asfollows:

"1. Failure to gain weightand disturbances of digestion inspite of appropriate diet and fa-vorable living conditions are fre-quently associated with poorbody mechanics.

"2. If there be present no or-ganic lesion, weight tends to in-crease and digestive disturbanc-es to disappear as poor body me-chanics is changed to good bodymechanics.

"3. Irregular and insufficientbowel movement tends to becomeregular and ample with the ac-quirement of good body me-

"4. Cyclic vomiting and cer-tain presumably toxic crises haveceased concomitantly with thecorrection of poor body me-chanics.

"5. Increase in alertness, re-sistance and a sense of well-be-ing are usually associated withthe change of poor body mechan-ics into good body mechanics.

"The Subcommittee on Ortho-pedics and Body Mechanics sub-mits the following recommenda-tions as to what ought to bedone to make adequate trainingin body mechanics available tothe children of the United States.

"A. In Medical Schools."1. That the instruction in

body mechanics be made an in-tegral part of the required courseof study in all medical schools.

"2. That instruction in bodymechanics be given as an inte-gral part of the course in anat-omy and continued under one ofthe major departments of theschool, either in general medicineor pediatrics and be again em-

)hasized in the instruction givenLnder the department of ortho-)aedic surgery.

"3. That this instruction beplaced both upon the prevalence X)f poor body mechanics and uponthe probability that the mainte-nance of good body mechanicsnay exert a preventative influ-rnce upon poor functional health.

"B. Schools of Physical Edu-cation. (

"1. That Docy mechanics ashould be made the basic prin- sciple of all physical education rand that these principles should salways underlie instruction inwhat are knowns as calisthenicsand games, and should be exhib-ited while these exercises and (games are being carried out. (

"2. That instruction in thedetailed methods of correction ofpoor body mechanics should be iconsidered a major course in tphysical education schools. i

"3. That the personal ac- 1quirement and retention of good Ibody mechanics by all students Iof physical education should be (required for a diploma of grad- ]uation.

"C. Schools of Nursing."1. That instruction in the ]

principles of body mechanics be 1made a part of the requiredcourses of education in all nurs-es' training schools and an inte-gral part of their instruction inanatomy.

"2. That clinical instructionshould supplement didactic in-struction.

"D. Hospitals and HealthCenters.

"1. That clinics or classes inbody mechanics and posture beestablished in all children's hos-pitals and in general hospitalstreating children, and in allhealth centers, and that theseclinics or classes be conducted atleast once a week.

"2. That the conduct of clin-ics or classes in body mechanicsbe under the supervision of aphysician."

As we stated in the editorialreferred to in the opening para-graphs of this article, medicinei_ a-nonl v adopting -the osteo-pathic concept, but camouflagingit behind so-called "scientificmedicine." The thing now being"discovered" by medicine hasbeen a part of osteopathy forover fifty years, but, of course,osteopathy will never be givenone iota of credit for it. Dr. A.T. Still discovered these facts,worked them out and demon-strated them to his own satisfac-tion and to the satisfaction ofmany others some half centuryor more ago-yet today, in 1932,the medical organization is hail-ing the effects of poor body me-chanics upon health as a greatnew revolutionary discovery of"scientific medicine."

Again we state that these factsare purely osteopathic and thatwe must see that Osteopathy isgiven full credit for them. Wemust not stand by and see thedominant school take any partof our therapy, hail it as theirown discovery and take it beforethe public and the schools assuch.

Structural InfluenceI. First, the structural side.

)ur entire body form, structureand growth, the way we are built ]and the composition of the mate-rials of which we are made are11 largely due to our endocrinesystem. :

If the thyroid is congenitallyabsent, mal-formed or destroyed,or inhibited by early childhoodliseases, we have "cretinism".The cretin is the stunted, mis-shapen, and warped dwarf. Ifthe gland secretes some, the pa-tient may live, but if the glands absent, death is inevitable un-less the sustained administra-tion of thyroid substances or ex-tract is resorted to. Many casesof cretinism have responded veryremarkably to this treatment.

The parathyroids control cal-cium metabolism. Hypofunctionresults in a malformation ofbones, defective teeth, violentmuscular tetany, diminished im-munity and diminished coaglabil-ity of the blood. If entirely ab-sent, death is certain. Any de-crease in blood calcium is an in-dication for parathyroid therapy.When the parathyroids are hy-perfunctioning, calcium is depos-ited in muscles and tendons;there is arterial calcification, re-nal calcification, and increasedblood calcium.

If the pituitary is congenitallyabsent, mal-formed, or destroyedor inhibited in childhood, wehave the midget or perfectlyformed dwarf. This dwarf willnot present the grotesque or un-proportioned features of the thy-roid dwarf; he will be a normalindividual in all ways except size.If the pituitary is hyperactivebefore puberty, especially theanterior lobe, we have the con-dition known as "gigantism"; orif over-activity is stimulated inthe adult, "acromegaly". In thisdisease, the patient becomes agiant, his bones are over-devel-oped, high cheek bones are typi-cal, he may reach seven to ninefeet or more in height, and hisbody is more or less unsymmet-rically formed,

Functional InfluenceII. Second, the functional side.

Our response to stimuli, our re-sistance to infections and our re-pair of injuries are all largelydue to the working balance ofour endocrine system.

Biochemistry and animal ex-perimentation show that the ef-ficiency and effectiveness ofevery cell is in direct proportionto its tone. All other things be-ing equal, the normal healthytone of cells and tissues dependsupon the concentration of theinternal secretions in the bloodand tissues. Without the normalconcentration and balance of in-ternal secretions the cells andtissues lose their tone and theirefficiency is either impaired or,

in extreme cases, lost altogether.That immunity to infection andspeed of repair after injury isspecifically regulated by internalsecretions has been proved manytimes in animal laboratories.

An osteopathic physican of myacquaintance told me that hegave his child osteopathic treat-ment every night and eventhough the child had been ex-exposed in several epidemics ithad not developed any disease.While this is not possible in100% of the cases, it conclus-ively proves the action of osteo-pathy in controlling endocrinesecretions.


Open Hospitals OrderedBy Gov. Murray

There has been much wide-spread comment on the order ofGov. W. H. (Alfalfa Bill) Mur -ray of Oklahoma to the statehospitals forcing them to opentheir doors to practitioners ofthe so-called "irregular" schoolsof practice. Governor Murray'ssteadfast stand on this matterin spite of the powerful pressurebrought to bear upon him is tobe highly commended.

The Governor's statements onthe question are characteristicand leave nothing to the imagi-nation. He. said, "The hospitaldoes not belong to the doctors.It belongs to the people ....The hospital is a public institu-tion and should admit all phy-sicians, surgeons and other prac-titioners having remedies recog-nized and licensed by law. Hos-pitals built and supported bythe people, belong to the peo-ple." When the staff of the statehospital and faculty of Oklaho-mama Medical School threaten-ed to resign if he enforced hisorder, the Governor replied,"The world is too full of goodphysicians to give any consider-ation to----or anyone else inthat institution."

Mr. E. K. Gaylord, editor ofthe Oklahoma City Times andthe Daily 0-klar-h - a. --- Lf it1 . .-pertinant editorials on the ques-tion in which he staunchly de-fended the Governor's position.Mr. Gaylord wrote in part:"The Governor holds that aninstitution supported by thepeople should be open to all thepeople. He holds that since thebelievers in various schools con-tribute to the support of theUniversity hospital they shouldbe free to enter that hospital fortreatment and should be per-mitted to say what character oftreatment they desire. He deniesthe right of any school of heal-ing to assume control of any in-stitution supported by the tax-payers and exclude from thebenefits of that institution allmethods of treatment excepttheir own."

ing and the alarm clock was onlyset for seven."

LOGPUBLISHED MONTHLY BY THE DES MOINES STIL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 9 FEBRUARY 15, 1932 Number 9,

Dr. Mary Golden SpeaksAt Local Church

Dr. Mary E. Golden of thefaculty of D. M. S. C. O. spokeat the meeting of Unity Circleof the First Unitarian Church ofDes Moines, Wednesday, Febru-ary 10.

Dr. Golden's subject was "Asa Man Eateth, So Is He." She-ep>o-ke in -the-- c..hurcb- parlors-an.dthe lecture, which was open tothe public, was illustrated bymeans of slides.

Those of us who have had thepleasure of being in class underDr. Golden are well acquaintedwith her speaking abilities andher almost unlimited knowledgeof the subjects upon which shespeaks. Those in attendance atthis meeting undoubtedly werethe recipients of much valuableknowledge upon our dietaryhabits and the methods of cor-recting them.

Anent Our NewAuditorium

During the past two monthsthe college has expended ap-proximately $1,500.00 in refinish-ing and refurnishing the schoolauditorium. A. new stage wasbuilt in the west end of the halland draped with plush curtainsof a rich maroon color. Similardrapes were placed on runnersover each of the windows in theroom and when closed afford fa-cilities for motion pictures orlantern slides. These curtainsand drapes also greatly enhancedthe acoustics of the hall.

The stage is illuminated by atriple set of flood lights, oneset of blue, one of red and one ofwhite. The band pit immediatelybelow and in front of the stageis well lighted by these floods.

A complete new set of late de-sign opera seats were installedand thus afford ample accomo-dations for several hundred per-sons. Additional space is avail-able for overflow crowds andportable chairs are at hand tohandle any such an audience.

Last but not the least of theimprovements was the enamelingof the walls with a glossy whiteenamel. This finish aids greatlyin diffusing and disseminating anequal amount of light to all partsof the auditorium and placingshadows to a minimum. All inall we are very proud of four con-vocation hall and extend a cor-dial invitation for each of you tocome and spend a Friday morn-ing with us at our regularweekly convocation.

Commencement

Commencement exercises forthe Class of January, 1932, wereheld in the College Auditoriumon the evening of January 22,1932. A large audience of rela-tives and friends assembled topay their respects to the ninemembers of the class.

The processional was played-by- Mr.- Rapl-i Nioman Deal' asthe members marched to theplatform. Rev. C. L. Young gavethe invocation. Mr. Ronald A.Wilburn, a Freshman student atStill College, presented two vocalsolos, Handel's "Total Eclipse"and "Star Eyes" by Cuoci.

The Rev. Charles J. Dutton,pastor of the First UnitarianChurch of Des Mioines, deliveredthe Commencement Addre-ss.Rev. Dutton read 'excerpts froma graduation address given atHarvard University in the year1814, which, among other things,contained the statement that thethen graduating men were en-tering a perfect world, a worldin which the absolute height ofscientific and intellectual attain-ments had been reached, a worldin which further progress wasimpossible. "Realize that the big-gest thing in life to seek is tounderstand men and women,"said Rev. Dutton, "there are fivesteps to the attainment of thegood life; first, love your work;second, make friends-no oneever succeeds without friends;third, cultivate a hobby-youneed it to relax from your work;fourth, cultivate a great cause-something to believe in. linkyourseif with something; biggerthan yourself; and fifth, be sym-pathetic". In conclusion thespeaker admonished the gradu-ates to "face the world realistic-ally, seek knowledge always, betolerant, and be willing to seethat everyone in the world hashis fullest measure of happiness-all people are worth saving andmaking happier."

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Dean ofthe college, presented the classto President C. W. Johnson, whoconferred the degrees. Follow-ing two vocal solos by Mr. Wil-burn, "A Brown Bird Singing",by Wood, and "Requiem", byHomer, Rev. Young spoke thebenedition.

Class of January, 1932:Fred William Benz, Francis

Marion Crawford, Gordon Ells-worth DuBois, Charles FrancisGowans, Earl Wesley Hewlett,Ambrose William Muttart,George Alan Purdie, Frank Will-iam Shaffer and Harry D. Tay-lor.

Students Thanked ForAthletic Services

The following paragraph ap-peared in "The Railsplitt'er",student publication of the Lin-coln High School of Des Moines,a few weeks ago.

"Railsplitters of Lincoln Highwish to thank Drs. J. Koch andC. Routzahn, of Des Moines StillColl-ge of Osteopathy, for thrcsplendid work done for our foot-ball squad the past season.These two young doctors spentevery afternoon during the weekall through the football seasoncaring for the injuries of ourfootball players."

These students, members ofthe Senior Class, are to be con-gratulated upon receiving suchflattering appreciation of theirwork.

Miss Johnson SpeaksAt Cedar Rapids

Miss Ava Johnson, of the D.M. S. C. 0. faculty, deliveredan address on "Psychology andthe Physician" before a conven-tion of the Osteopathic Physi-cians of Cedar Rapids and sur-rounding territory at the Mont-rose Hotel in Cedar Rapids onFriday evening, February 5.

Miss Johnson told how neces-sary it was for the successfulphysician to have a workingknowledge of psychology in or-der that he might, first, knowhimself and, secondly, know oth-ers.

"Th e.. phvTsieian b "... .. . id d th Oespeaker, "must realize that it isnecessary for him to possess areserve of manner which the pub-lic likes and expects of him. Weare all republicans but we adorethe aristocrats. The personswith whom the doctor associatesmust not be from the so-calledlower strata of society; a club-man may get drunk with hislawyer but he will not toleratesuch conviviality with his sur-geon; manners of dress andspeech will not get the desiredprestige and may, in some casess,

We are receiving a goodlynumber of applications for entryin our scholarship contest. How-ever we want as many as pos-sible to take advantage of thischance to win a portion of theirFreshman tuition at Still. Doc-tors, if you have not yet enteredyour prospects do so at once.Write us and you will receivefull information and applicationblanks.

Saturday evening, January 30,Cookie Moore, in celebration ofhis election to the presiding of-fice of the chapter, gave a "Pres-ident's Ball" and invited each andevery member and his femininecompanion to attend. The radiofurnished the music, a goodlycrowd was there and everyoneenjoyed a whopping big time. IfCookie will promise to celebratewith a Ball each time we willelect him to something or otherevery week or so.

Our valiant bridge team, leadby John Anderson, B. E. (BridgeExpert), emerged from the firstweek's play with a full amountof glory and velry few injuries.Rigid training rules are in effectand Coach Anderson promises toseverely reprimand any playerbreaking training. We are pull-ing for the team and hope to seethat ol' bridge trophy nestlingon our mantel after the smoke ofbattle clears away.

We are conducting a nocturnaldeclamatory contest for bothprofessional and amateur ora-tors. The defending professionalchampion is Red Tannehill, andFh-uc far Ploryld erl Tn rrlish i.e.-his ...only opposition. These two pro-fessionals have great capacitiesfor orating while in slumber butRed's experience appears to be alittle too much for Lodish toovercome. In the amateur divi-sion we have Casey Kessler andPledges Hutson and Andreen.Spoon seems to be the most pow-erful and Clem the most persist-ant, but Casey's frequent out-bursts of wit and wisdom makehim the favorite in the betting.If Kessler can defend his ama-teur standing against the accu-sation of professionalism he isalmost a cinch to win. Cy Pot-ter, a recent and belated entry,claims that he will soon overtakethe amateur field and win by atleast ten minutes fervid oratory-however his abilities have notyet been properly proven. Theresults of this contest will be an-nounced from week to week inthe Congressional Record.

Dr. Larry St. Amant sent usa most welcome letter a few daysago. We were all glad to hear

that Larry, who is in RiverRouge, Mich., is doing well andhas builded himself a large prac-tice. Come again, Larry.

Monday evening, Feb. 8, sawthe reorganizing of the Fratern-ity table. We have secured amost capable cook and the oldfamiliar "miss a stroke and passme the butter" may be heard eachand every evening. We serveevery evening at 6:30 and Sun-days at 1:30. We extend a cor-dial invitation to all alumni tocome and have dinner with us.

We take great pleasure in an-nouncing the extension of pledge-ship to Edward Leininger ofCreston, Iowa, and Paul Isaac-son of Denver, Colorado. PledgeIsaacson recently transferred toStill from the Chicago Collegeof Osteopathy and was a pledgeof Hyoid Chapter of the AtlasClub at that school.

DELTA OMEGA(Rachel and Vi)

The new semester finds a calmfollowing the storm of examina-tions. At present all of us areawaiting grades to be sure thatwe have convinced our professorsof our worth.

Rachel and Norma claim to en-joy the Y. W. C. A. dances verymuch There must be some rea-son for this.

The actives met February 4thto discuss plans for future workand good times and there appearsto be much in store for the DeltaOmega girls this semester.

Vi says she is content againnow that her old black dog cameback from its visit to Minne-sota.

There is something mysteriousabout Norma lately. Maybesome day we will know what.

Stella must have learned a lotlast semester, anyhow she has abright look on hoer face and lotsof enthusiasm.

Lillian says there are somegood Osteopathic Physicians inthis school. I guess she oughtto know!

IOTA TAU SIGMA.. ...... (. (B. Herbert)

Up out of that deep, dark holehe staggered. It was once awhite man but now he is cov-ered with a strange, dark sub-stance and a liquid commonlycalled perspiration. He was mur-muring to himself "curses (well,something like that) what is thatstrange odor I smell?" Upchirped that ever present fresh-man, "Oh, Doctor, maybe it'sfresh air." Bro. Routzahn, witha little extra help, is now strug-gling with that hungry mouth inthe basement, endeavoring topacify it, with suggestions frommost of the chapter, with what isknown in this state as that fastburning lump (yes, you bet).Several of the brothers are try-ing to devise a plan wherebymost of this stuff can be keptoriginally placed instead of onties and white collars. Doesn'tthe air seem heavy this winter!

Brothers Herd and Hurd seemto be having some difficulty withthe germ theory. Doc claims thata germ becomes dang'erous only

after it has a foothold. Johnsays that this isn't at all pos-sible due to germs having nofeet. Anway the ground hogdidn't see his shadow.

Bro. Hurd recently reportedthe loss of a pair of shoes. Itwas later found that one of thenew men was using one of themfor a bookcase and the other todo some pressing on. It was onlyan accident that Doc wasn'ttaller.

Bro. Lyle has recently acquiredthe new name of "putty". Mosteveryone knows the characteris-tics of that substance. Wonderwhat John has been doing lately ?

The house recently had a newform of amusement in the formof a bridge party followed by aradio dance. Sounded like a typi-cal bridge party or possibly aladies' aid. Of course, most ofthe Brothers didn't have muchto say, but there certainly wasa lot of chatter. Anyway every-one had a great time and as aresult we are looking forward toanother lone.

Bro. Whetstine can now beseen getting up an hour earlierevery morning, going through aseries of strenuous exercises andrunning several times around thesquare to improve his wind, be-cause he is the new bridge cap-tain. We're all rooting from thesidelines, captain, and may youhave ]ots of luck and comethrough without a scratch. Don'tforget your shoulder pads whenyou buck the dummy.

Bro. MacLaughlin recentlybought the equipment for hisnew, shiny kit. Among severalother things were an amputatingknife, a pair of bone shears andenough wire netting for splintsto fence in the Equitable build-ing. Oh, well, Mac always didsay he wouldn't live long.

PHI SIGMA GAMMA(M. J. Schwartz)

The following men were electedto guide the destinies of ourchapter for the coming semes-ter: LeRoy E. Jagnow, President;Charles E. Stoike, Vice Presi-dent; Maurice J. Scliwartz, Cor-responding Secretary; Charles L.Nay]lo, Treasurer; and ArthurL. Montgomery, House Manager.With such a fine staff of officerson deck and an especially finecrew we are sure to weather theperils of the semester success-fully.

We extend a hearty welcometo Bro. G. Albert Noble of NewBrunswivk, Canada. Noble is anupper Junior and transferredfrom the Kirksville College.

We congrastulate Pledge HaroldSeelye on his venture into therealm of matrimony. Miss MarthaSutherland of Des Moines wasthe happy bride.

01son, Purd.e, Stivenson adlStoike burned some of the well-known mid-night oil preparingfor the Iowa mid-year StateBoard. We are confident thatour doctors were successful. Atany rate, they are now fully ac-quainted with the exact locationof the Iowa State Capitol build-ing.

Freddie Schaffer deserves a

big hand in a big way for keep-ing our domicile properly heatedthese frigid days. However, wecan't say much, paddling is moreeffective for. the pledges to whomFreddie occasionally delegateshis duties while he is takingcare of his more or less lucra-tive practice.

Bro. George A. Purdie is nowpracticing in Clarion, Iowa, andBro. Frank Schaffer is interningat the Southwestern OsteopathicSanitarium at Wichita, Kansas.We wonder how the doctor is pro-gressing in his endeavor to teachthe fair nurses the subtilities ofchemistry and allied subjects.

Burton and his jallope, BobAllen and his car, and Dave Grauand his automobile have weath-ered the cold spell in fine shape.Mere trifiles such as having toturn a crank for 10 minutes or be-ing pushed for several blocksleft the boys undaunted and,warm or cold, rain or shine, theyboard their trusty chariots andget to school like that Rock Isl-and train to Chicago, about fiveminutes late.

We extend our condolencesto Bro. Blech on the death ofhis grandmother. Carl left forMilwaukee on Tuesday to behome for the funeral and re-turned to Des Moines the follow-ing Tuesday.

Bro. Withrow is pulling hardat the traces these days andwants to go home to Milwaukee.My desires anent going homehave been taken care of as Mrs.M. J. has informed me that shewill visit Des Moines and myselfover Washington's birthday.

Greetings alumni! Let's hearfrom you. We promise to an-swer your letters.

After Graduation--What?(An Editorial.)

Nine men last month closedtheir collegiate careers and areentering the field of Osteopathy.Some of these will spend theirfirst year interning and otherswill directly enter practice, eitherin city, town, village or ruralcommunity. Perhaps the hard-est months of their entire liveslie before them; some, of course,will be more fortunate than oth-ers, but we do not doubt the ulti-mate success that will sooner orlater come to each of them.

When we are in school we areprone to consider practice en-tirely from a monetary aspect,that is, we measure the resultsof the practice we hope someday to own by dollars and cents.If one does not lose this view-point by the time he graduateshe will never be an asset to theOsteopathic profession. The stu-dent who plans on amassinggreat wealth in the field had bet-ter get into some other line,brokerage, business, manufac-ture, or some such calling inwhich great fortunes are made-there may be millionaire physi-cians but they did not gain theirwealth by their practice alone.Of course, the practicing physi-cian must make every attempt toattain some degree of financialaffluence in order that he mightfill the niche reserved by conven-tion for the doctor, however, thisshould be a secondary thought tothe new graduate.

What, then, should the newman aim for? What should behis ultimate ambition if it benot to acquire some personalwealth? The answer is serv-ice. If the young doctor wins areputation for service, he will bea financial success in spite ofhimself.

In the first place the physicianowes willing service to his pa-tients. The man who wins therespect and admiration of hisclientele will always find a num-ber of new patients seeking hiscounsel. Do not assume a hard-shelled business attitude towardthose who come to you, take aninterest in them, make them feelthat you are sympathetic andanxious to help them. In thisas in selling a commodity it isthat "extra something" that winsand holds the majority of per-sons. Remember, a satisfied andadmiring patient is your best ad-vertisement.

In the second place the physi-cian owes service to his commu-nity. No matter where you may

be, you, as a doctor, occupy asomewhat elevated position inthe estimation of those livingabout you. Always support thecommunity enterprises, be theyhome talent theatricals or char-ity drives. With;out losing thatprofessional reserve, which peo-ple expect of you, learn to meetfolks on their own ground. Knowsomething of what each ,one isinterested in and be able to talka bit intelligently on what eversubject your conversationalistmay wish to discuss, be it bonds,art, architecture, agriculture,stock raising or what have you.In other words, see that you areadmired not only as a physicianby your patients but as a manby those not your patients.

This, we think, constituteswhat should be the first thoughtand ambition of the new man-be of real service. Of course,service alone will not suffice, butit is the greatest single factorin achieving success.

Remember-"H-,e who serveshimself best serves othersmost."

Exchanges

This year the LOG BOOK in-augurated a new policy, that ofinstituting a department of ex-changes. Consequently the va-rious college and state associa-tion publications were solicitedand the response was very grati-fying. The editor is anxious toexchange copies with as manyosteopathic publications as pos-sible, it is only in this way thatthere can be a much needed cor-relation of our literature and aninterchange of worth while andvaluable thoughts.

We are pleased to announcethat we are at present enjoyingthe benefits of exchange withthe following publications: TheAxone, published by the studentsof the Philadelphia College ofOsteopathy; The Stilletto, pub-lished by the students of theKirksville College of Osteo-pathy; The College Journal of theKansas City College of Osteo-pathy; The Northwest Bul-letin of the Minnesota StateOsteopathic Association; TheJournal of Osteopathic Medicineand Surgery, published by theMichigan State Osteopathic As-sociation; The Bulletin of theIowa State Osteopathic Associa-tion; and The Osteploath, pub-lishled by The Williams Instituteof Glendale, Cal. We of coursereceive the publications of theA. 0. A. but do not classify themwith our exchanges.

We are anxious to enlarge thisdepartment and would welcomenew exchanges to add to theabove list. If your publication isnot in this list the editor wllbe glad to hear from you.

If you cry "Forward" youmust without fail explain inwhat direction to go. If you fireoff this word simultaneously ata monk and a revolutionary theywill proceed in precisely the op-nDoite directions.- (Anton Che.k-hov).

Senior Day, January 15The semi-annual senior day

assembly was presided over byGeorge Purdie, President of thegraduating class. As the firstfeature of the program Dr. Pur-die introduced Mahatma Novo-caine, famous Hindu seer andsoothsayer. Th e Mahatma(whose maiden name is MauriceJ.) proceeded to peer into thefuture of each member of theclass of January '32 and a goodlypercentage of our beloved facultymembers. Some of the dis-closures were little short of sen-sational.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Dean lofthe College, next presented thevarious members with awards ofdistinction earned by them duringtheir collegiate year. Theseawards were as follows:

Obstetrics: Gordon E. DuBoisand F. Marion Crawford (As-sistants).

General Clinic: (800 treat-ments) Gordon E. DuBlois and F.W. Shaffer.

Pediatrics: Gordon E. Du-Bois and F. W. Shaffer.

Following the awards the stu-dent body was entertained byBernie Lowe and his Patti Cafe-teria Orchestra. Their group oftunes and vocal features includedsuch popular hits as: "The Pea-nut Vendor", "Shine !on HarvestMoon", "I'll Be Glad WhenYou're Dead, You Rascal You","Confession" and "Chinatown".

This most enjoyable convoca-tion was closed with a few an-nouncements from President C.W. Johnson.

Nature Best Doctor

Following is a paragraph fromthe International News Servicewhich was printed nation wideby all leading newspapers dur-in ' the Dnast week:

BOSTON (I. N. S.)-"Naturecures nine diseases to every onecured by science; and the humanbody is its own best doctor, ac-cording to Dr. Richard Cabot,of the Harvard Medical Schooland the Massachuetts GeneralHospital."

Dr. Cabot is the man whohas written one of the outstand-ing text books on Physical Diag-nosis and whose researches alongthis line are-accepted by all greatauthorities as being the out-standing work on the subject. Tous it is merely one more greatmedical man finally arriving"for himself" at the same identi-cal conclusions and facts thatDr. A. T. Still presented somefifty odd years ago!

CURRICULUM

Physical Diagnosis, Clinics, Com-municable Diseases(L. L. Facto, D. 0.)

The course in physical diag-nosis is presented to the lowerJunior students and covers anentire semester. The text used isElmer and Rose with Cabot asa reference text. In this work weattempt not only to give thedidactic or technical side of thesubject but to present to theclass, for individual examination,such cases from the clinics asmight be typical of the conditionbeing studied at the time. Itis in this course that the studentfamliarizes himself with the useof the stethoscope, blood pressuremachines of various types, auscu-lation, percussion, palpation, in-spection, etc. The significance ofthe various normal and abnormalphysical signs or diagnosticpoints and tests are explainedand demonstrated thoroughly.

The Proctology Clinic is heldeach Tuesday afternoon fromthree to four o'clock. The am-bulatory methods of treatinghemorrhoids and fistulae is usedand, while some cases of externalhemorrhoids and fistulae aretreated, the majority of ;our pa-tients are found to be sufferingfrom the internal type of hem-orrhoid. The number of treat-ments necessary for any one casedepends upon the number of in-jections given at each session.As a rule I infiltrate two regionsat each visit, and, by this method,five or six treatments usuallycures the case. The patient re-turns for examination in a monthor six weeks after he has beendischarged in order that we maykeep check on his condition.

THE LOG BOOK

As Others See Us?

During the present tryingtimes it is comforting to re-ceivle an occasional letter froman old frend complimenting uson our efforts to keep up the pepand to hold things together untilthe corner is turned. Then inthe next mail we get a letterthat almost upsets our belief inthe brotherhood of man. Notlong ago we received two let-ters in the same mail that weresimilar in intent but decidedlydifferent in approach. Each wassoliciting the college for funds topay for space in their state or-gan. The courteous letter merelystated rates and other informa-tion relative to the publication,the other went so far as to statethat if Still College did not takespace in their journal that thestate association would "black-mail" the college. We are surethat the word was intended tomean "blacklist", as the infer-ence was that no more studentswould be sent to Still Collegefrom that state unless we cameacross with an ad in the statepaper.

May we explain our attitudenot only to this particular statepaper, but to others also. Inthe first place, the trustees ofStill College are obligated tospend the money taken in in sucha manner as to continue to im-prove the institution, the idea be-ing that we will thus be givingbetter instruction in every de-partment. No provision has beenmade for such an emergency asthis and under our policy wecould hardly class money paidout for such a purpose under thehead of improvements. Withjust so much to spend each yearwe find it impossible to takespace in state journals. We dofeel obligated to the A. O. A.and we also mail to the profes-sion each month without chargea copy of the Log Book. Theseexpenditures are all that we canallow under the present condi-tions. When we get to the placewneire' we ihave--Sutiip'luS-o

-01 iili

and have perfected our institu-tion to the point where no moreneeds to be spent on faculty,building or equipment, then wewill feel like supporting the statejournals.

There is one other way to lookupon the situation. If Osteo-pathy is to survive the collegesmust be supported. At presentwe have only six recognized col-leges of Osteopathy. None arefull to their capacity. If any oneof these institutions is compelledto close it will be a blow to Osteo-pathy. Our colleges are not hav-ing an easy time at present andyet we get this letter, expectingus to take money that has beenpaid to us by students for in-struction and pass it on to one ofthe state societies to help sup-port them when they should bemaking every effort to supportnot only us but the other collegeswithout prejudice. When yousend a student to one of the col-leges you are not supporting thatparticular institution but adding

to the strength of your own pro-fession. It seems to us that theprofession could better do with-out this attitude on the part ofa state association. Some col-lege gave you your professionaltraining and at a cost that wasnot unreasonable. Some of youwent through school on a noteand haven't paid it off yet, thisis not true of the individual thatwrote the letter, but the writerdoes know of a few of that type.

We sincerely hope that this ex-pression has not offended any ofour friends. We do make youthis offer-any time you thinkthat you can conduct the businessof the college better than thepresent trustees, I am sure thatthey will be glad of the oppor-tunity to be relieved of a jobthat means many extra hours ofwork without one cent of com-pensation, and in many caseswithout thanks, from those whoshould be vitally interested inmaintaining higher standards inour colleges.

Miss Johnson SpeaksAt Cedar Rapids

(Continued from page 1)preclude against this attain-ment. In order to successfullyapproach and build up this pres-tige, the doctor must cultivatea good speaking voice and choiceof English, his movements mustbe those which the public expectsfrom a professional man, his at-tire must be neat and clean, hemust be well groomed and hemust choose his place of homeand office in keeping with whatthe public expects.

"The physician must know themental and emotional side ofothers. He must be cognizant ofpsychic upset being as trulysymptomatic ,of. disease as ap-parent pathology. He must rec-ognize types and know the dan-gers and pitfalls of their psyco-logical make up."

Convocation, Feb. 4

A special assembly was heldon the morning of Thursday, Feb.5, in order that the student bodymight enjoy the privilege ofhearing Dr. Charles E. Still, sonof the "Old Doctor", speak. Dr.Still was visiting in Des Moinesand kindly consented to appearbefore the student body.

The convocation was opened bytwo numbers by the band-orches-tra, Hall's "New Colonial March"and the popular "Good NightSweetheart".

Dr. C. W. Johnson then intro-duced Dr. Charlie who proceededto present some intensely inter-esting and valuable data con-cerning the trials of the, earlyosteopathic days and paid tributeto the many prominent peoplewho, among many others, gavefreely iof their time and moneythat legal osteopathy might liveand prosper. Among thoseprominent laymen who greatlyaided in securing recognition forour science were Mrs. Hubbard,

wife of a Governor of Minnesota;Governor Nelson of Minnesota;Gov. Fiske of Vermont; Gov.Briggs of No. Dakota; Gov.Stevens of Mo.; Gov. Pingrey ofMichigan; Gov. Shaw of Iowa;Senator Foraker of Ohio; Colo-nel Conger, who aided Dr. S. S.Still in founding D. M. S. C. 0.;Mme. Campiani, famous operastar of the day; Richard Mase-field, great actor; Tom Platte,N. Y. political boss; PresidentTheodore Roosevelt; WilliamJennings Bryan; Gov. Taylor ofTennessee; Mark Twain; OpieReed; Gov. Yates ;of IllinoisPresident William H. Taft;Madam Schumann'-Heink; Gov.Hoak of Kansas; George BernardShaw; William Cody (BuffaloBill); Arthur Brisbane; ElbertHubbard; Ella Wheeler Wilcoxand many others. Dr. Still suc-ceeded in bringing home to thestudents the type of persons re-sponsible for the victory of osteo-pathy over inconceivable oddsback in those first few years. Weall hope that Dr. Charlie will bewith us again soon, he can't cometoo often.

The assembly closed with theband-orchestra playing "PaganLove Song".

The value of the lymphaticpump is not doubted. One of itsgreatest values has been in in-creasing lymphatic circulationthrough the pancreas and drain-ing excess insulin from theIslets of Langerhahns, thus giv-ing them a chance to function ifthe damage is not too severe.However, what right have we tosay that the pump is drainingthe pancreas only? The 'rate ofhealing in diabetic ulcers whenthis treatment is inauguratedpoints clearly to the increase inspeed of body repair when thecause is removed and the endo-crine system stimulated.

It is interesting to notice thatat the end of the first week offoetal life the thyroid is recog-nizable, the pituitary may bedemonstrated at the end of thesecond week, the gonads at thethird week, and the thymus bythe fourth week-all by thetime the embryo is but 1/4 inchlong! This demonstrates thenecessity and ultimate control ofthe endocrines over structureand function of the individual.

Effects on CharacterIII. Third, the psychic or men-

tal characteristics. The works ofBerman and Huntington in thefield of effects of glandular up-sets upon the psychic or mentalcharacteristics are outstanding.These authors are well worthreading. Examples are:

A. Hypo-thyroid. If the thy-roid is hypofunctioning due tosome external cause, such asbacterial infection, continuedhigh fever, pregnancy, or some

great strain, we have a conditionknown as "Myxedema." This dis-ease usually occurs during orafter adolescence and is char-acterized by abnormal depositionof fat, defective speech, mentalchanges resulting in hallucina-tions in both sight and hearingwhich appear at intervals in adefinite cycle which, once start-ed, always go in the same direc-tion, i. e. left to right, etc. Thepatient shows a desire to be leftalone and his mental coordina-tion is interfered with. A myx-edematous person appears imo-bile, shows no emotions andlooks ignorant. The administra-tion of iodine is of great valueand the administration of thy-roid rarely fails to be of markedbenefit.

B. Hyper-thyroid. The patientwith a hyperfunctioning thyoidis living a fast pace, all bodymetabolism is sped up, he losesweight, his body temperature isincreased and he speaks rapidly.The patient is irritable to slightsounds and odors, he has insom-nia, muscle tremors, the heartrate is increased from normal to140 or above. The hyperthyroidicknows no peace, the mind isflighty, nothing seems right.Prognosis is bad, the heart is aptto give out, especially at a mo-ment of shock or excitement.Sometimes the patient is strongenough to wear out the gland, inwhich case he becomes myx-ed-emic. Treatment is surgical ifpossible, otherwise a simple dietexcluding any food with even atrace of iodine, tannin, or caffe-ine, rest, phycho-therapy andguarded exercise.

C. Anterior Lobe of Pituitary.This lobe of the hypophysis cere-bri governs the male character-istics of an individual. The bonydevelopment, egotism, masculineemotions, etc., are due to thisportion of this gland. The mas-culine female is due to the overfunctioning of the anterior pitu-itary.

D. Posterior Lobe of Pitu-itary. This lobe governs the fem-inine characteristics of an indi-vidual. The tender, gentle,sweet, dependent, emotional,clinging-vine type of female isdue to the hyperfunctioning ofthis portion of the pituitary Theeffeminate male suffers from asuper secretion of the posteriorlobe.


We build our future thoughtby thought,

For good or ill, yet know it not.Yet, so the universe was

wrought.

Thought is another name forfate;

Choose, then, thy destiny andwait,

For love brings love and hatebrings hate.

More Improvements InCollege Building

The latest improvements madeby tne -Board in its campaign toiaie the building a handier andimore satisfactory educational in-stitution are the following:

The book store has beenmoved from the fifth to the thirdiioor where it is handy to themajority of the classrooms andwill be much more easily acces-sidie to the students.

The microprojectoscope roomhas also been moved from thentith to third floor and has beenenlarged to accommodate largerclasses. Several rows of oldseats which used to be in theauditorium have been installedin this room, thus increasingtne seating capacity and com-fort.

The women's lounge has beenmoved from the tifth floor to thelanding room on the stair casebetween fourth and fifth floorand the O. B. room now oc-cupies the old location of thelounge.

These changes serve to makethe building a bit more compactand handier for the studentbody.

Dr. Rhode Cares ForBall Club

Dr. Richard J. Rhode, SouthBend, Indiana, has been electedteam physician to the Columbus,Ohio, "Red Birds" of the Amer-ican Association. He will bewith the team at all timesthroughout the 1932 season,stated an article in the ColumbusCitizen.

Next fall theseJuniors will be assigned as phy-sicians to the High School andCollege teams of the city andwill thus finish their work alongthis line with practical exper-ience with the teams. Still Col-lege is probably the only schoolin the country presenting thiswork in such a thorough man-ner.

Here are the questions askedin the final examination. Howmany of you field men who aredoing athletic work could passit with a grade of 90 per centor above?

1. Give five rules of conductin making contacts with coachesand teams.

2. Classify muscle injuriesand state reason for this classi-fication.

"After all, it is in terms of un-dergraduate life that the frater-nities must be viewed. The longlists of distinguished alumni thatplay such a great part in mostrushing seasons mean practicallynothing in comparion with thequestion of the undergraduatechapter itself.

Backs

Following is an excerpt froman article entitled "An Anatom-ical Sahara" which appearedsome time ago in CurrentScience and was reprinted in theLiterary Digest.

"Our backs are the largestarea of our body that is un-broken by important anatomicalstructures. In contrast with,other portions of our anatomyour backs are arid deserts.

"Backs have fewer nerves offeeling. In the tips of yourfingers the ends of the nervesare but a few hundredths of aninch apart.

"Backs have fewer nerves ofheat and cold. The sensations ofpressure, heat, cold, have sep-arate nerve endings in all areasof our skin. On the back of thehand, and on the cheeks, thesenerves are rather close togetherat the surface; on the back theyare widely scattered.

"Backs have fewer blood-vessels in their skin. Other por-tions of the body surface areabundantly supplied with capil-laries carrying the blood. Thiscirculation is distinctly scantyin the back.

"Even the sweat-glands arenot so abundant in the back.These active evidences of honesttoil-the pores through whichsweat oozes during muscular ac-tivity or in heated surroundings-are most plentiful in thepalms of our hands and thesoles of our feet."

We are often asked why os-teopathic treatment is directedquite largely to the back andmany times, perhaps, we are un-able to give an intelligent an-swer. The above quotationshould give us good and valu-able information in explainingthis part of osteopathic technic.It is true that the back is anerve Sahara and thus we di-rect perhaps the greatest shareof our general treatment to thearea. Remember Head's Law?Therein lies the explanation ofthis question-"When a stimulusis applied to a point of low sen-sibility in close central relationwith a point of high sensibility,the effect may be felt at thepoint of high sensibility ratherthan the point of low sensibilitywhere the stimulus was ap-plied." What could be simpler?We apply our treatment to theback, it being a point of lowsensibility our stimulus, in keep-ing with the law of Head, is feltor has its effect at points ofhigher sensibility, i. e. viscera,etc.

A Hospital Gave Service

It happened in one of the NewYork hospitals. A man, unan-nounced and without a card ofadmission, forced his way intothe presence of the doctors. Hedemanded to be examined. Neverhaving been faced with a similarproblem, one of the doctors madea thorough examination.

"You're in fine shape," he an-nounced. "Nothing the matterwith you at all.'

The man looked disappointed."I know there is something

the matter with me," he said. "'--don't think you know muchabout your business."

The patient walked around fora few minutes and then he ap-proached another doctor. Theresult was the same. Nothingwas the matter with him and thedoctor told him so. But that did-n't satisfy him either. He hadmade up his mind that some-thing was the matter with himand he didn't intend to leave thehospital until there was. Hemade a nuisance of himself try-ing to persuade the other doc-tors, all of them busy, to exam-ine him again and tell him whatthe troaubl was. Pinally one ofthe doctors, tiled of having theman in the place, called himover.

"Let me examine you," hesaid.

He went through all the mo-tions with a serious face.

"You're right," said the doc-tor. "You are suffering from'myotomic ideopathic muscularatrophy. You are in a neuropath-ic state produced by a localizedperipheral excitant. I also finda biochemical instability of theneuroses. Your bacterial invasionof tissues is characterized by amigration of polymorphonuclearleucocytes. There is as well aformative hyperplasia of cell tis-sues, epithelial and conjunctive."

But the patient didn't wait tohear the whole sentence. He leftrapidly to make his will and saygoodbye to his family.

The doctor heaved a sigh of re-lief and went on with the im-portant work of the day-(Fromthe New York Sun.)

CrnT^pti; nnon Feb. 12

This assembly opened with aband rehearsal. Dr. Halladaystated that the organization hadbeen unable to get together fora satisfactory rehearsal so hewould conduct one in public.Three popular songs of variousvintages were practiced withmore or less success, "Some ofThese Days," "Betty Co-Ed,"and "Good Night, Sweetheart."

Dr. J. P. Schwartz presentedas the main attraction a magi-cian known as "Trix Cooney."Mr. Cooney has had many years'experience on the boards as apurveyer of conjury and gives abaffling and entertaining recitalof slight-of-hand. His tricks in-cluded the famous water-jartrick, wand disappearance act,rope and twine bafflers, variouscard and coin sleight-of-handworks, etc. This was undoubt-edly one of the best enjoyed as-semblies in many moons and allwish to think Dr. Schwartz forpresenting Mr. Cooney to us.



(Continued from Last Issue)* * *

Emotional CharacteristicsIV. Fourth, the emotional

characteristics of the individual.Here we get into a subjectworthy of great thought and weshall quote from Louis Berman,Columbia University.

Berman's definition of emo-tion is: "Emotion is the registra-tion in the voluntary of the sys-tem of reflexes in the involun-tary system. Energy is releaseduntil a balance is struck or theindividual is exhausted."

Now, bearing the above defi-nition in mind, let us considerBerman's hypothesis of the makeup man and the subconscious:

A. "The organism as a wholemust deal with two worlds: first,the environment-registered onthe cortex; and second, theworld within-the tissues, or-gans, etc., under the control ofthe vegetative nervous system.This second world is the subcon-scious, its changes and life arebut dully recognized except incases of extreme unbalance inoutbursts of emotion, etc. In thissecond world lies the conditionedreflex.

B. "Temperament- registersthe history of the vegetative ner-vous system, that it, the sym-pathetic or subconscious.

C. "The Intelligence-mirrorsthe history of the animal system,particularly in the cortex. Thatis, the touch with environment."

The importance of the effectof endocrines upon intelligenceand temperament is profound be-cause it offers a practical meansof control. Suggestion will affectthe vegetative system, educationwill affect the animal or con-scious nervous system, but theendocrines are more profoundthan either of these because theyact upon the roots of both in±bc6 followi-g t-w.Qn. .ays: __

Effect on Will PowerFirst: the effect on chemical

constituents and cell reactionsof the nervous system. For ex-ample let us take willing, or theso-called will power of man. Toquote Berman: "Willing may bedefined as consciousness becom-ing energy. The greater the rel-ative gray matter the greaterthe consciousness and willing.Man is Lord of Creation merelybecause he remembers and cancontrol his environment. Theability to remember and tobring back memories to bear onconduct is the distinctive func-tion of the nervous system.This power depends partly onenvironment but mainly on theCHEMISTRY of blood and nerv-es. This chemistry is, in turn,regulated by the glands of in-ternal secretion.

"How do these glands in gen-eral affect the nervous system?A case has been reported oftheir effect on dreams. A wo-man was being treated for low

blood pressure alternately withpituitary and adrenalin. Afterseveral days of pituitary treat-ment her dreams became color-ful, happy and charming. Whenthe adrenalin was administeredthe dreams changed to blackand white, terrifying and domi-nated by quarrels and conflict.Another example is the greatsimilarity in composition of graymatter and the phosphorus con-taining substance manufacturedin the adrenal cortex. It looksas if the adrenals provided ma-terial from which the brain ismade as well as providing thematerials for daily repair. Whenan ament is born (one withoutcerebral hemispheres) the ad-renal cortex is either very de-fective or lacking entirely. Fur-ther evidence is that man'sbrain is larger than that of anyother animal and his adrenalcortex is also larger in the sameratio.'

Effect on PersonalitySecond: the effect upon indi-

vidual personality. We have al-ready noticed the effect hypoand hyper secretion of the thy-roid and further mention is un-necessary.

If whole pituitary secretion isdeficient the patients lack inhib-itive power, judgement and mor-al sense. These are the patho-logic liars and thieves, delin-quents and incorrigibles. Thereare many cases of children whohave been transformed physic-ally, mentally and morally, bypituitary feeding alone.

No doubt some one of your ac-quaintance is gifted with a re-markable memory, one who caneasily and without study recallcomplete pictures, whole scenes,whole scores of music and soon. Such a person is known asan "edietist", the condition re-sulting from a slightly hypo-functioning parathyroid. RuthDraper is an excellent exampleof an edietist. Miss Draper mem-orizes the lines of her many var-ied readings and characteriza-tions with very little effort onst .pr..nart a thing impossible

with most of us. These personshave a somewhat weaker resist-ance to disease and seem tohave a predisposition to StatusLymphaticus. Their hair is fineand beautiful and their skin isfair and of perfect complexion.The hypofunctioning of theparathyroids is not enough how-ever, to cause the muscle tetanyand other distressing symptomsnoted heretofore under hypo-parathyroidism.

In cases of hypogonadism inthe male at or after puberty, wenotice a loss of aggressivenessand will power, a lack of normalemotions, and see the patientbecome dull, relaxed and clum-sy. In the female we noticegreat nervousness, states of anx-iety, depression, particularly atmenses, and psychoses.

No attempt has been made topresent an exhaustive discussionof the entire endocrine system.I have attempted to bring outsome of the typical and morecommon conditions illustrating

the great forces exerted bythis intricate glandular hook-up.


Trichomonas Vaginalis

One of the meanest prevailingdiseases of women has beenfound to be Trichomonas Vagi-nalis. This organism gives a re-action in the human vagina verysimilar to Gonococcus; in fact, itis often mistaken for gonorrhea.This is a rather painful mistakefor the patient as the treatmentis different and the Trichomonasis not eradicated with the samesubstances as the Gonococcus.

If a greenish-yellow pus with astrong characteristic odor ex-udes from the part, Trichonomasshould be suspected. The lab-oratory method of diagnosis ofthis organism is as follows:Take one drop of the suspectedmaterial and mix with one dropof physiological saline solutionon a glass cover-slip. Make avaseline ring on a slide and withthis ring on the under side, cov-er the drop on the cover-slip.Carefully and quickly turn the'slide over without causing thedrop to spread. Examine underlow and high power.

The presence of TrichomonasVaginalis can be readily seen bythe fact that these organismsmove with great rapidity. Theyare about the size of pus corpus-cles, and when at rest are pear-shaped, but during action itsamoeboid movements cause it toassume various shapes. The sizevaries from 12u. to 25u. longand 8u. to 15u. wide. The proto-plasm is finely granular except-ing for two rows of larger gran-ules which begin on either sideof the nucleus and converge pos-teriorly. From the anterior partproject three or four flagella,which seem to begin at a basalthickening at or near to or con-nected with the more or lessoval, indistinctly vesicular nucle-us. From the origin of the fla-gella an undulating membraneextends backward.

This organism, though rare,has been found by some observ-ers to be an inhabitant of thevagina of all ages.-Dr. SamuelM. Stern, in The Northwest Bul-letin.

Each organiza-tion is urged to enter a team inthe hard ball tourney and an-other in the kitten ball com-petition. Kitten ball is a in-ovation in Still College this yearand, while it will in no way re-place regular baseball, it willoffer playing opportunity to anumber of additional men aswell as providing a new cup forcompetition.

Following the above tourna-ments there will be the annualgolf meet and after that the finalevent of the year, the trackmeet.

Dates have not been set forthese contests but they will beannounced in the near future.Fraternities are urged to gettheir teams in shape and be pre-pared for fast and keen compe-tition. The golf and baseballcups are at present held by theAtlas Club and Iota Tau Sigmaholds the track trophy.

Convocation, March 25On this day we were very for-

tunate in having Dr. Yale Cas-tlio of the faculty of the KansasCity College of Osteopathy andSurgery with us. Dr. J. M.Woods introduced Dr. Castlio tothe student body and requestedthat he give us data upon thestudent experimental work onthe spleen now being done bythe students of the Kansas CityCollege.

"Anatomical, lesional, struc-tural, and other types of re-search are now being done with-in the Osteopathic profession,"said Dr. Castlio, "but there is aspecial field of research thus farleft undone which the studentgrprllTc r ,nif' 1 i nl a n 11 ' tol a 1 of l an r, 1, U o titUJUI t t x, ~1tUt:ut, I ii~.

successfully do. One form ofthis research is now being doneby Beta Chapter of Psi SigmaAlpha at our college-that ofstudying the physiological re-sults of specific splenic stim-ulation.

"Thus far we have exper-imented upon about 60 healthyindividuals. Five minutes of bi-manual alternate compressionand relaxation of the spleen isthe type of stimulation nowbeing studied. Before treatingttlusly we seethat the subjectdoes not eat or take vigorous ex-ercise for at least four hours be-fore stimulation. Just prior tothe treatment a leucocyte countis taken, then the five minutestimulation, five minutes after asecond white count is made andthirty minutes after a thirdcount is recorded.

"We have found that this will,in 80 per cent of healthy indi-viduals, increase the white countabout 3,000 in five minutes, thethirty minute count shows a de-crease from this number but thefigure is still higher than thattaken before the stimulation.

"Our next step will be to takedifferential counts and determinethe effect upon the opsonic indexof the subject. We have foundthat this splenic stimulation hasa tendency to reduce the red cellcount, thus showing an R. B. C.destructive activity on the partof the organ."

Dr. Castlio closed his most in-structive discussion by stating

that similar exhaustive workshould be done on the thyroid,liver, etc., and made an appealto the students of the variousosteopathic colleges to undertakesome form of research work.

Convocation, April 8

Sigma Sigma Phi, HonoraryFraternity, was in charge of theassembly and presented the Lin-coln High School band in athirty-minute concert. The bandshowed a snap and execution notto be expected of a school bandand the director, Mr. Engels, de-serves no little praise for thetraining of his young musicians.

The first number was a march,"Officer of the Day." Followingthis Mr. Engels stated that theband would compete on Friday,April 15, in the Iowa State HighSchool Band Contest finals atDirak0egt Field House in DesMoines. As a final bit of sea-soning Mr. Engels said that theywould play the music required inthe contest. The first was Men-delssohn's "Overture to RuyBias." This number is far aboveanything that should be requiredof an amateur- school band,nevertheless the whole overturewas played in a style showing in-terpretive genius on part of thedirector and a most surprisingsincerity and understanding onthe part of the voiin nDerfnrm-ers.

Next came one of Filmore'strombone atrociticies which, asusual, depicted an episode innegro existence-this time it was01' Mose at the Revival Meetin'.The writer, being one of the fra-ternity, always feels sharp pangsof pity for his fellow slide en-thusiasts when it falls to theirlot to foist upon their audienceone of these things. However, itwas well done and your reporteris undoubtedly prejudiced.

The Larghetto from Luigini's"Ballet Egyptienne" was next.One would not believe that itwould be possible for youngstersin their teens to become adept-eouh-4-i tw- ' a--y-eais or so toplay the woodwind parts of thisnumber. Yet the clarinets, flutes,piccolos, oboes and bassoonsseemed to be the best trainedsections in Mr. Engel's band.Following was the famous over-ture to Rossini's "Barber of Se-ville." Again the band was at-tempting something more in therealm of professional bands, yetthey did far better than onewould expect. The clarinets par-ticularly deserve special mentionfor their handling of some ofthe difficult woodwind passagesRossini so loved to write.

A march closed this musicalprogram. We can not praiseeither the director or the bandmembers too highly for their ac-complishments. We wish themall possible success in the futureand hope that they return toStill College again and again.

Exceeding the feed limit, aswell as the speed limit, makesbusiness good for the hospitals.

THE LOG BOOK



(Continued from Last Issue)Summary of Specific ActionIn closing these articles I will

present the briefest possiblesummary of the outstandingcontrolling function of each ofthese glands.

1. THYROID. This gland isthe great energizer of the body.It controls metabolism, affectsgrowth, exerts great power inregulating detoxification and im-munity. Deficiency producescretinism or myxedema. Oversecretion results in "Grave'sDisease" and various profundnervous disorders. Enlargementis known as goitre and may beof several types.

factors in calcium and phos-phorus metabolism, importantfor proper bone and tooth struc-ture. They have a close relation-ship with nevre irritability,nervous excitability increasesfrom 500 to 1000% in greatlyinhibited parathyroid and deathresults when the glands are re-moved in toto. Edietism,.causedby a slight hypoparathyroidism,can be decreased by feeding codliver oil, which increases Caretention. Night terrors in chil-dren have been traced to para-thyroid hypofunction.

3. ANTERIOR PITUITARY.Stimulates growth of bones, es-pecially the long bones, pro-ducing the perfect dwarf, thegiant, or acromegaly, dependingupon the condition of the glandand the amount of increased ordecreased secretion. This por-tion of the pituitary exerts aprofound control over the otherglands and its tonic effect onthe brain governs reason, judge-ment and deduction. The personwith a fairly active anterior pi-tuitary possesses the agressiveand progressive type of mind.

4. POSTERIOR PITUITARY.Produces Dituitrin which is the

tonic of the involuntary orsmooti muscle cells. This por-tion of the pituitary governs thegentle, tender, feminine type ofmind. It is in close relationshipwith the genitalia and if it isunderfunctioning before puber-ty there is a failure of normaldevelopment of the reproduc-tive system.

5. THYMUS. This gland is thepre-puberty check on the gon-ads. It is normally atrophied atpuberty but when it persiststhere is a gonad upset whichunderlies much homosexualityor which causes a sexual rever-sion to the opposite sex-i. e.the male become effeminate andvice versa. This gland is veryclosely related to Status Lym-phaticus. An interesting medico-legal sidelight is the fact that in21 autopsies on criminals in theCalifornia penitentiaary, nine-teen were found to possess per-sistent thymus glands.

6. ADRENALS. These glandspossess the reserve energy and

tonic needed by the body understress and in emergencies. Theyare the seat of all emotionaloutbursts and reactions. Whenthey are overtapped we have thetypical neurasthenia or, as theforeigners call it, "Americani-tis." The cortex of the adrenalsis closely related to the gonadsand is associated with skin pig-mentation-"Addison's Disease"being an involvement of the cor-tex.

7. PANCREAS. Everyone isfamiliar with the action of in-sulin, the secretion of the Islesof Langerhahns, on sugar metab-olism.

It will not be necessary to dis-cuss the endocrine activity ofthe gonads, corpus luteum,mamaries, etc., but I do suggestthat you do some reading on thesubject. My purpose has been toshow what a great thing thisglandular system is and toprompt a little thought and re-search on this fascinating sub-ject. For that reason I herewithpresent a bibliography that,while not extensive, is represent-ative of the work and knowl-edge of endocrinology.

Answers to Athletic Quiz

Several inquiries have comein for the answers to the ques-tions published last month in anexam over the lecture workgiven in the Athletic Clinic atthe college. In order to not haveto repeat these several times weare giving you what we considerthe correct replies without thecomplete detail with which thestudent is familiar but more inthe form of an outline. If thoseof you who are interested in thiswork will attend the lectures anddemonstrations of the AthleticSection of the A. O. A. at Detroitthis summer you will have theanswers to these questions andmany more.Question-

Give five rulesmaking contactsand teams.Answer-

of conduct inwith coaches

1. Remember that you are thephysician and not thecoach.

2. Be one of the gang but ex-ert your authority.

3. Do not swear, smoke orchew while with the boys.

4. Be careful of your lan-guage.

5. Show a sincere interest inthe work.

Question-Classify muscle injuries and

state reasons for this classifica-tion.Answer-

1. Toxic. Due to overuse. Nostructural change. Recov-ery early. (From a fewminutes to a few hours.)

2. Primary Traumatic. Due toindirect or direct strain.Slight tear of tissue andhemorrhage. Small circum-scribed area of infiltration.No superficial discoloration.Heals in 24 to 48 hours.

3. Secondary Traumatic. Se-vere direct blow. Largearea affected. Superficialhemorrhage evident butslight. Many torn fibers.Excessive pain and spasmof adjacent muscles. Re-covery slow, extending overseveral days to two weeks.

4. Tertiary Traumatic. Verysevere trauma. Capsule ofmuscle and fibers torn.Area of infiltration not nec-essarily large but presentsindentation in center show-ing evidence of torn cap-sule. Hemorrhage extendsbeyond margins of swellingand into superficial fascia.Healing slow and may notmake complete recoveryduring the season.

Question-Outline treatment for muscle

injuries.Answer-

1. Hot and cold packs. Threeminutes hot followed byone minute of cold. Keepup for 30 minutes.

2. Light massage around edgeof injury. Never in center.

3. Strapping to keep hemor-rhage from spreading andto help in approximatingthe torn fibers.

4. Mild heat for several hours.Rest and followed by pas-sive movements.

5. As case gradually improvesthe treatment is changed toapply to improved condi-tions.(Above is routine and var-

ied with the diagnosis.)Question-

What principle is used in tap-ing?Answer-

Tape should be crossedwhen applied to protect a lig-ament or other tissue. Thisinsures a pull in all directionsand is more effective than taperunning in one direction only.

Question-Name the most common joint

injury, and explain why.Answer-

Torn ligaments are found inevery joint injury of trauma-tic origin. These vary withthe articulation and the forceof the trauma. External liga-ments that are already ontension give first. These arefollowed by any internal liga-ments the joint may have.

Question-Name five conditions that may

occur in the shoulder region.Answer-

1. Epiphysis separated at out-er end of clavicle.

2. Acromio-Clavicular lesion.3. Sub-Acromial bursitis.4. Teno-synovitis involving the

long head of Biceps.5. Traumatized muscles.The above answers are a sort

of a composite of the papershanded in by the class. Thegrades averaged above 85. Afterthis class has its clinical workbeginning next fall it will be wellprepared to go out in the fieldand take care of any sort of anathletic team and give the bestservice along that line in theircommunity.

Quoting from a letter recentlyreceived from Dr. E. MarvinBailey of Huston, Texas:

"The Texas law grants theright of an examination of anapplicant who is a graduate of arecognized reputable school ofmedicine. This includes Allo-paths, Homeopaths and Osteo-paths. If this applicant is agraduate from either of theschools of medicine having fourterms of eight months each,there is no requirement of a pre-medical education in the Texaslaw, therefore you are entitled tomake application for examina-tion."

This plan works much bet-ter for the work is done muchmore efficiently and the studentknows where he is to report andwith whom he is to work.

Friday A. M.-Met Dr. Huffof U. of Mo., his assistant Mr.Youngblood and the members oftheir team. They informed methat they have been using Os-teopathy and were glad to getOsteopathic service here.

Friday P. M.-Taped ankles oftwo boys. One reported troublewith his foot in region ofTibialis Anticus. Examinationshowed restricted movement ofarticulations in foot and tender-ness at Tibio-fibular articulation.Osteopathic manipulation ob-tained free movement in thejoints, resulting in relief fromthe condition previously existing.The boys reported the crosstaping of ankles felt better thanthe basket type to which theywere accustomed.

Through this work I metBrocksmith of Indiana, whoasked for a relaxing treatmentprior to his race. He ran a 4:17mile.

Saturday P. M.-Met the teamat the stadium. The assistantcoach had given them massagesat the hotel and they felt thatthey did not need any more be-fore the race. However, they didwant me to tape their ankleswith the cross taping.

In the first race their anchorman, Duncan, pulled a muscle,resulting in a third degreeCharlie Horse. Hot and cold ap-plications were given for 30minutes, then taped with crosstaping and on request of coachtook Duncan to doctor's office fordiathermy treatment.

The boys and coach reportedthat they were much pleasedwith the service. Let's hope so,for Osteopathy's sake.


ville Drowns

Just as we are going to presswe have the sad report that Dr.Petermyer, member of the fac-ulty of the Kirksville College,accidentally drowned Mondaynight, May 2. The report statesthat after a May day celebrationat the college the doctor wentout to the lake west of the col-lege in Dr. Charlie's pasture andstarted to swim across. Forsome reason he sank when nearthe middle of the lake. Due tothe depth, his body was not re-covered until after 5:00 p. m.the following morning.

Kirksville suffers a great lossin the death of this young manfor he had already made a namefor himself in obstetrics andsurgery and was one of the mostpopular of the instructors there.The Log Book extends sympathyto the family and expresses sin-cere regret in the profession'sloss of this brilliant young Os-teopath.

We, at Still College, were veryhappy to have met Dr. YaleCastlio from Beta Chapter, whoaddressed the assembly lastmonth on "Osteopathic Re-search."

At this time, which marks thecompletion of Psi Sigma Alpha'sfirst semester at Still College, wewish to announce the principlesand policies on which this or-ganization was founded.

Wesincerely hope that with the op-portunities and the training thatthey have had in our present-day efficient Osteopathic col-leges that they will continue touphold the standards of Os-teopathy. In the teaching of ourscience we stress the place thatOsteopathy has made for itselfin the eyes of the public. Wetry to demonstrate in clinic andwith lecture work the need forOsteopathy as a therapy.

Assembly April 22

Under the auspices of theSigma Sigma Phi fraternity,Major Harding Polk of DesMoines addressed the school as-sembly Friday morning, April22. Being a graduate of WestPoint on having been in themilitary service for 26 years,Major Polk's interest in the in-ternational situation is verykeen. "War; Its Causes andSome Preventative Measures"was the subject upon which hespoke.

"Peace on earth is a lovelyidea," Major Park said, "but itcannot be attained by wishingfor it. There is conflict at everylevel, in the school ground andin business. If individuals strug-gle against each other, nationswill. Modern thought has triedin every way to devise measuresof peace; and since peacefulmeasures have failed we arebound to have war, according tothe speaker. As long as there isselfishness in the world, therewill be war and there must bedefense."

The pacifist, Major Polk feels,is one who is not informed, whois ignorant and is only courtingdisaster. The country cannot beled by uninformed, untrainedmen and women. He repuditedthe thought sometimes ex-pressed: that military men wantwar for self aggrandizement."One must think us craven," hesaid. "I cannot wish for myfamily what I have gone throughand hope I shall never seeagain."

Defense must be consideredand maintained, for in the nextwar, Major Polk believes, it isthe strong nation, well placedgeographically with p r o m p tstrength and force which willwin. Initial preparedness will bethe deciding factor.

Assembly April 29

Russell Morgan, acting asmaster of ceremonies for theIota Tau Sigma, had charge ofthe regular Friday morning as-sembly. The introductory num-ber was a clarinet quartet fromNorth High and proved that ourcity school system is developingsome high class musicians.

Assembly May 4

This being Delta Week, thegirls were given the honor ofpresenting to the student bodyone of our best known Osteo-paths. Rachel Hodges introducedDr. Della Caldwell, who in turnintroduced Dr. A. G. Hildreth ofMacon, Mo., president of theStill-Hildreth Sanatorium. Dr.Hildreth spoke on the value ofOsteopathy in the world oftherapy and cited several inter-esting cases proving the effic-iency of Osteopathy when everyother method of healing hadfailed. We need an old timer totalk to us once in a while to getus out of the rut of thinkingwithin our own little circle.

Dr. Hildreth issued a verykind invitation to the studentbody to visit the sanatorium atany time as his guests. We hopethat each of our students takesadvantage of this offer to seejust how our therapy can domore for nervous cases than anyother.

Dr. Hildreth will always bewelcome at Still and we con-gratulate the Deltas for securingsuch a notable member of theprofession for their program.

Osteopathy at the DrakeRelays


REPORT BY H. G. WITHROW ONTEAM FROM MARQUETTE

I was assigned to look afterthe Marquette University teamof Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Theircoach, although not very wellacquainted with our form oftherapy, consented to let me tryand help his star sprinter.

This sprinter's main complaintwas his back and right leg. Hisback ached when he got downto take his mark, and his rightleg seemed to ache and feeldead. I looked him over, butcould find no boney lesion, butthe muscles in the lumbar regionwere very rigid and tender.After using pressure relaxationtreatment, starting lightly andincreasing the pressure untilcomplete relaxation was ob-tained, I then manipulated hislegs, instructing him to keep offof his feet as much as possibleand to rest.

The next day, about an hourbefore his race, I gave him thesame treatment. In fact, he toldhis coach that he felt so muchbetter that the coach asked meto take care of this sprinter andto treat him between the relaysin which he was to run.

This athlete won the hundredyard dash in 9.5 seconds, equal-ling the world's record. He alsowon two relays for his team, byrunning anchor man on eachteam.

The athlete to which I havebeen referring is Ralph Metcalf,one of this country's outstand-ing dash men. Incidentally, heis almost sure to be one of therepresentatives for Uncle Sam inthe coming Olympic games atLos Angeles this summer.

I also treated and cared forother members of the team.They all seemed well pleased andimpressed by the work.

Their coach, on leaving, shookmy hand and thanked me, want-ing to know if I or some otherosteopath would treat his teamnext year. He was very wellpleased with the service renderedhis team by Still College.

Osteopathy made many newfriends at the relays.REPORT BY JUDD KOCH ON

TEAM FROM TUSCON,ARIZONA

The annual Drake relays heldrecently brought a newcomer inthis international event in theUniversity of Arizona track teamwho made their first appearanceat the relay carnival this year.

It was my good fortune to act.in the capacity of their physicianduring their stay in Des Moines.There were five representativesof the Arizona track team andthe track coach, David S. Davis.

The men were in excellentphysical condition with the ex-ception of "contracted muscles,"a "bad knee" and needed footcorrection. It was their intro-duction to Osteopathy and meth-ods of our care of athletes.

Although they did not qualify

in every entered event they weresatisfied with their venture, asfor the results obtained in theirinitial osteopathic attainment, Iendeavored to put forth my bestosteopathic education in themanner of foot correction, mus-cle contractions and cartilage ad-justment.

The team was very apprecia-tive and pleased with the resultsobtained by the osteopathic careand proclaimed their use of os-teopathic practice in otherbranches of athletics in the fu-ture.REPORT BY W. E. HINDS ON

MISSOURI U. TEAMThe Drake relays are over for

1932, however they will long liveto those many young athletes.They will have their stories totake with them and tell backhome. One of these wil be olfthe Osteopathic care given eachman by the senior students ofStill College under the super-vision of Dr. Virg Halladay, Di-rector of the Athletic Clinic.

Coach Merriam's University ofChicago track team fell in undermy care. There were eight ofthem, the pick of material ofthat great university. Each ofthese stars lined up to be put inshape to do their best. Aftercompeting they were again givenOsteopathic care so that theirbodies would overcome thestrenous taxing received on thecinder path.

In my scrap book will be theautographed picture of JohnBrooks. John was very greatfulto us for helping him prime hisbody with Osteopathy. Thisrecord breaking broad jumperspiked his hand badly and afterhaving it dressed went back tobeat Dehart Hubbard's 1924record by flying through the air24 feet 83/ inches.

All of the men and coacheswere well pleased with our serv-ices and wanted to be sure ofOsteopathic care next year.

Short Course in FootTechnic

Dr. E. P. Kane of Toledo,Ohio, well known Osteopathicfoot specialist, on April 27 and28, gave a course in foot technicto about 80 doctors at the DesMoines General Hospital, whowere so enthusaistic over it thatit was extended to the studentsof the school at a very specialstudent rate. The course wasrecommended to the studentbody by Dr. J. P. Schwartz andabout 30 students availed them-selves of the opportunity, all ofwhom are more than satisfiedwith the results.

This course is a very simplIbut effective method of caringfor the feet. Its great feature

I as compared with other osteopathic methods, is that it is lesspainful. In teaching this methodthe doctor stresses over and oveithe absolute necessity of relaxation on the part of the operator. If this can be accomplished, claims are made thamore relaxation on the part o

r the patient is to be had and alsc

that the technic is more easilyexecuted.

Dr. Kane is scheduled to ap-pear at the Iowa State Osteo-pathic Convention at which timehe will hold three of four moreclasses, especially for the stu-dents, to complete the course forthem as well as review all thework already carried out.

Dr. Kane is one of the fewOsteopathic Physicians who hadthe honor of serving in the latewar in the Medical Corps, whereover 16,000 pairs of feet passedthrough his hands in less thantwo years.

Pathe-Logic

During the illness of WalterWinchell a representative of thecollege was sent around to thehomes of the various members ofthe faculty in the guise of amovie operator getting shots forthe weekly news reel. It was en-joyed by all and since a fabuloussum was expended in collectingthese bits it is no more thanright that the public as a wholeshould profit by the facts thuslygleaned.

Bob Bachman, in addition tothe possession of a wife, two finechildren and a dog, specializes inmusic. The operator managed toget the piano, harp, cello andBob's cornet in the picture.Fortunately the sound apparatuswas not working. Bob also hasa penchant for building thingsamong which is a complete houseon wheels. We say complete, forit even has part of a bath roomneatly concealed from the eye ofthe visitor.

John Woods has recentlymoved into a better neighbor-hood and is chesty over theownership of a wife, three chil-dren, a cat and a canary. Thelast mentioned were two separateanimals when we made the visit.John now weighs 200 even andevidently doesn't know thatthere is a depression on. Fernsays that they had to move intoa larger place to accomodate theincreasing size of the family.

C. W. Johnson, by growing hisown vegetables, is able to retainpossession of his old home onBrattleboro. The 1000 wattsused in lighting the room forthe picture disclosed three mi-croscopic flecks of ashes in thefireplace. This worried C. W.Ava, who also took part in thepicture, and is all steamed upover another conquest of Europe.

Lonnie Facto and wife have acouple of Facto-rs in the form oftwo lively boys. They acted per-fectly in front of the camera buta neighbor who happened in toldus that Lonnie, Jr., likes to pulltailfeathers out of all the chick-ens in his coop. Where could hehave learned such tricks? Wewill have to see what Lonnie, Sr.,does during his evenings off.

Successful State Con-vention Held

The Iowa State OsteopathicAssociation held a very success-ful State Convention in DesMoines, May 17 to 19, at the Ft.Des Moines Hotel. About 200physicians were in attendance tohear the various conventionspeakers.

Trustees Banquet Seniors

Graduating Seniors were hon-ored at a banquet given in theirhonor by the Board of Trusteesof the College, the evening ofMay 25, at Hoyt Sherman Place.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, presidentof the College, and Dr. J. P.Schwartz, dean, gave short talkswhich were responded to by Da-vid Grau, president of the grad-uating class.

Tables for the banquet werearrainged in unique fashion. TheBoard of Trustees occupied acentral table, while other tableswere arranged diverging inwheel-fashion, at which wereseated the guests of honor.

Our Clinics

This being the last edition ofthe Log Book during the collegeyear it is proper to report re-garding the work of our clinicsduring the past several months.There follows a brief resume ofsome of the work done. Addi-tional reports will be made inthe following numbers of thispublication.

Geneeral ClinicRegardless of conditions the

general clinic has continued tocarry on its usual yearly averageof patients. Over 19,000 treat-ments have been given since thepresent Seniors started theirwork. This report compares fa-vorably with the number givenlast year with a larger classgraduating. The variety has cov-ered the field, completely givingthe students an insight into whatwill be encountered in practice.

As usual, Dr. Johnson and Dr.Facto have examined before theclasses. In addition, the pastseveral weeks we have been for-tunate in having the services ofDr. J. Woods on Wednesday atwhich time the classes were com-bined.

A marked improvement in theappearance of the Seniors hasbeen effected by the majority ofthem wearing white treatingcoats. We hope that this prac-tice continues.

GynecologyUnder the supervision of Dr.

Johnson the Gynecology workhas increased greatly. About 150patients have been taken fromthe General Clinic and placed inthis special department. Thesize of the Junior class has madeit necessary to divide the workof this department into three sec-tions so that each will have anopportunity to make examina-tions and more thoroughly un-derstand these special patholog-ical conditions.

ProctologyThe lecture work in this de-

partment is given by Dr. J. L.Schwartz and the clinic con-ducted by Dr. Facto, assisted byLane Moore. During the yearthe Seniors had the opportunityof seeing and assisting in thetreatment and care of nearly 100cases referred from the GeneralClinic. The range of variety wascomplete from the very simpletypes of hemorrhoides to cancer.Remarkable results have beennoted in more than 75 per centof the cases treated. EachSenior takes care of the case as-signed under the supervision ofthe head of the department.

PediatricsPediatrics is one of the most

interesting subjects in the cur-riculum of the first semesterJunior student. The course,which includes diseases and careof infants and children, is underthe direction of Dr. Mary Golden.

The baby clinic is held once aweek. A student, chosen by theCollege Board, is in charge ofthe clinic under the supervisionof the college examining physi-cians. An accurate record of theweight, height and general con-dition of each little patient iskept and advice pertaining tothe care and feeding of the childis given to the mother.

The Still College PediatricClinic is a comparatively newclinic and is increasing in sizeand popularity. Carl V. Bleck ofMilwaukee is in charge of theclinic this year under the super-vision of Dr. Mary Golden.

Eye, Ear, N'ose and ThroatThe eye, ear, nose and throat

course given at Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy offersgreat possibilities to the studentwho wishes to major in head dis-eases. It consists of didactic lec-tures of one hour each threedays a week. Class clinics areheld two days a week.

In some two hundred cases ex-amined in this clinic we havewitnessed such cases as the fol-lowing: Acute and Chronic

Dr. C. W. Johnson introducedDr. A. D. Becker, who made anappeal to the Seniors to workfor organized Osteopathy for thegood of the profession and tojoin their local, state and na-tional associations.

Dr. Becker said, "You have agreat background built by thosein practice. The public has con-fidence in the modern Osteopath.In the future Osteopathy will bejust as big and just as successfulas the people in this room makeit-as you make it, so shall it be.After visiting all the Osteopath-ic schools in the United States,I am convinced that never beforehave the schools been so wellequipped, never before has thespirit and morale been so goodas it is today. I have no time forthe Osteopath who goes out withan inferiority complex-I be-lieve the profession is facing agreat future."

Diet

Methuselah ate what he foundon his plate,

And never, as people do now,Did he note the amount of the

caloric count;He ate it because it was chow.

He wasn't disturbed, as at din-ner he sat,

Destroying a roast or a pie,To think it was lacking in gran-

ular fat,Or a couple of vitamines shy.

He carefully chewed every spe-cies of food,

Untroubled by worries orfears,

Lest his health might be hurt bysome fancy dessert

And he lived over NineHundred Years!

Still College, directed by Dr. J.P. Schwartz, is one of the mostthorough courses offered by anyof the Schools of Osteopathy.

The academic course is con-ducted by Dr. Schwartz, whoseexperience and knowledge ofsurgery is literally "poured on"the students in such an inter-esting and forceful manner thatone would have to be imperviousto knowledge not to assimilatemost of it. A series of motionpictures of major surgery, il-lustrating various operations, areused each year in addition to theregular course.

The surgical clinics are heldat the Des Moines General Hos-pital. This department boasts ofa clientele of tonsular and ade-noid cases which numbers intothe thousands each year. Thosecases which may be removed bylocal anesthesia are usuallytaken care of by Dr. H. J. Mar-shal, while in those cases re-quiring general anesthesia thetonsilectomy is done by Dr. J. L.

--Schwartz -or- -one -.of the hospitalstaff physicians.

The major surgical clinic isconducted by Dr. J. P. Schwartz.In these clinics he thoroughlyexplains and illustrates eachmovement as he proceeds wituthe operations. The clinic pa-tients of the school are admittedto the hospital and receive thesame excellent care as do allpatients of Des Moines GeneralHospital.

The senior students acquiretheir hospital technic at theseclinics and are allowed to assistwith some of the operations andto give anethesias under the su-pervision of the hospital staff.A certificate of service is award-ed to the senior of each gradu-ating class who has given themost time and service to thehospital during his matricula-tion.

Obstetrical DepartmentStill College has for many

years taken considerable pridein its Obstetrical Department

The work of this department hashad a phenomenal growth in thenumber of cases cared for. Muchof this growth and efficiency isdirectly due to the untirihg effortand conscientious work of Dr. R.B. Bachman, head of the depart-ment and Professor of Obstet-rics. Under his most able guid-dance and direction the obstet-rical clinic has set an enviablerecord for volume of cases andan unusually low maternal andinfant mortality. Dr. Bachmanhas established a close associ-ation of class room lectures andactual practice at bedside and<-------------

in the operating room. The im-portance of this to the studentcannot be emphasized too much.He thus develops confidence anda degree of clinical art in ob-stetrics which can be obtained inno other way. Obstetrics at StillCollege is extremely practicaland thorough in every detail.

The work in obstetrics is givenduring the second semester ofthe junior year and the first se-mester of the senior year. Juniorstudents are permitted to witnessdeliveries and assist in variousways. Not infrequently a juniorstudent may witness as many as

15 to 20 deliveries both in thehome and at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital. Only seniorstudents are permitted to makedeliveries. Many seniors haveto their credit 10 to 15 deliveriesat the time of their graduation.Cases are assigned to the stu-dent during the early months ofpregnancy so that he may makefrequent calls and observation ofthe patient and follow the courseof pregnancy to them. By fre-quent observations the studentgains an intimate knowledge ofhis patient before delivery, andhas ample opportunity to note

---

the high percentage of uncom-plicated cases under Osteopathiccare. After delivery the patientremains under his care for sixweeks, thus he gains consider-able experience in postpartumcare of the mother and infant.

At each delivery the seniorstudent in charge of the case isassisted by another senior andtwo junior students. Each oneis given specific duties such aspreparation of the delivery roomand instruments, giving of an-esthetics and care of the newborn infant. Their work as wellas the work of the student doing

the actual delivery is under thecareful supervision of an exper-ienced licensed assistant whoserves in an advisory capacityand in difficult cases may aidthe student obstetrician.

All unusual cases are underthe direct council of Dr. Bach-man. At any time during preg-nancy, during delivery or fol-lowing delivery the student isguided by his advice and re-ceives the benefit of his extensiveexperience.

All operative deliveries such asforceps deliveries, versions, per-ineal repairs and other com-plicated cases are cared for byDr. Bachman personally with thestudent in charge of the case as-sisting. Caesarean operations arecared for at the Des Moines Gen-eral Hospital by Dr. J. P.Schwartz, chief surgeon. Incases of this character the en-tire senior class is permitted toobserve the operation from theamphitheatre.

Each semester two senior stu-dents are selected to serve asobstetrical apprentices. After thecompletion of one year of classroom work these apprenticesserve as student assistants andtwo other senior students are se-lected to serve apprenticeships.Thus each year several studentsparticularly interested in obstet-rics are given an unusual oppor-tunity for intensive training andexperience in this branch ofpractice.

At the present time the" fol-lowing two Senior "A" studentsare serving as assistants: 0. E.Campbell and E. R. Keig. Thoseserving apprenticeships are Rus-sell McLaughlin and VerdellNewman. These men are receiv-ing a degree of training and ex-perience in obstetrics we believeequal to an internship in a ma-ternity hospital.

The Detroit Convention

Thursday morning I sat on astool behind the registrationdesk and watched the crowd. Itcame to me that our annualmeeting has developed into amulti-ringed circus. Fourteensections, a general assembly,trustees, house of delegates, as-sociated colleges, technic advis-ory committee, secretaries asso-ciation, several women's divis-xjiis, - tlhe exhibitoris, fraternitycouncil and chapter meetings-and innumerable inter-commit-tee meetings, etc. The localcommittee in charge of all of'this deserves commendation thatit will never receive for it is im-possible to please everyone.

I think that the conventionwas a great success. There wasa good crowd in spite of thefinancial condition of the coun-try. Almost everyone seemed tobe in a good humor. Detroit didnot charge us extra rates. Theaccomodations were not high-priced and the arrangementswere well taken care of. Somecomplained about the inabilityto find things, but the informa-tion desk was on duty all thetime and not hard to find.

Registration was well arrang-ed. Having the whole floor toourselves, we found no othervisitors getting in our way. Myown personal criticism is sum-med up in this statement. Nev-er again will I allow myself tobe billed for a talk on the 4thof July. I missed a magnificentparade with bands galore andbeautiful floats of all kinds-while talking in one of the sec-tional meetings. This was not amistake on the part of the pro-gram committee but my ownpersonal error in accepting anhour when something of thatkind might happen.

From what I heard, the pro-gram was well arranged and fa-vorably accepted. The arrange-ments were better than in someplaces and not as good as someothers. We will have this againand again. To some in the pro-fession, one convention thatthey especially liked will alwaysstand out as the ideal one.

I went to the convention toattend to some business relativeto the College and two fratern-ities. I also appeared on theprogram twice. By workingevery minute of the time, thesethings were all; done 'and wewere ready. to: come home onThursday immediately after ourlunch. With Dr. :C. W.

Reverses Birth ProcessTo Watch Life

Embryonic animals growingon outer portions of their moth-er's bodies were described to theAmerican Association of An-atomists recently by Prof. J. S.Nicholas of Yale University.

"By this unique method,'.' saidProf. Nicholas, "science is ableto see for the first time amongmammals many of the heretoforehidden processes of life at its be-ginnings. Heretofore studies ofdevelopment have been mainlyconfined to those species inwhich normally the eggs de-veloped outside of the parentbody. This new method has de--veloped to the point at which theyoung mammal embroys, rats,which are less than the size ofthe head of a match, can be suc-cessfully transplanted to otherparts of the animal body than

May I suggest to the commit-tee in charge of setting the timeat which the meeting in Milwau-kee is to be held next year, thatthey give us the Fourth to cele-brate as we have always doneand would like to continue to do,and have the convention eitherfollow that day or preceed it. Ihave lost a Fourth of July thisyear and it doesn't seem justright.

May I personally thank themembers of the local committeefor the many courtesies extend-ed to us and for the many littlethings that they did to make ourstay more pleasant. We shouldbe proud of the Detroit Osteo-paths and their helpers fromover the state. They put acrossa fine convention!

dent, real reasons for thatchoice.

Consider the faculty. It ismade up of teachers who arewell known and authorities intheir work. Are they graduateOsteopathic physicians and dothey teach Osteopathy withtheir subject.

Consider the equipment. Doesthe college have the buildings,laboratory and other equipmentnecessary for the demonstrationof the work.

Consider the clinic. Does thestudent have the opportunity toactually see the results of Os-teopathic care and producethese results himself, in allphases of Osteopathic work.

These are vital factors in theeducation of our future Osteo-paths and you should appreciatethem. Boost for more students!

Summer ClinicsSuccessful

The advantages of OsteopathicTherapeutics have again :beendemonstrated by the large num-bers of people in attendance atthe various clinics held duringthe summer weeks at D.M.S.C.O.

Several students have beenmore than repaid for their so-journ in Des Moines during theperiod, by getting in a greatnumber of treatments and wit-nessing a large variety of cases.

The Obstetrical Clinic has hadall the cases that it could possi-bly handle on the summer sched-ule. Since the first of June theclinic has had twenty-eight de-liveries with plenty more casesin the offing before school opensagain in the Fall.

Drs. C. W. Johnson and L. L.Facto have been in daily attend-ance, examining and supervis-ing the work of the students.They report that the wide var-iety and large number of caseshandled point to the ever in-creasing reception by the publicof Osteopathic principles oftreatment.

I. O. A. to Hold ClinicAt State Fair

Through the courtesy of theIowa Osteopathic Association,the people of Iowa will be ac-corded the opportunity of a com-plete free physical examinationat the Iowa Osteopathic AdultHealth Clinic to be held duringthe Iowa State Fair, Des Moines,Aug. 24 to Sept 2, inclusive.

A committee appointed by Dr.R. R. Pierson, Muscatine, Iowa,President of the Iowa State Os-teopathic Association, has beenworking for more than, a yearon plans for the coming clinic.

The clinic has been dividedinto nine divisions, with menand women physicians on thesectional examining staffs whowill examine adults at the clinicheadquarters in the ExpositionBuilding at the Fair Grounds,daily from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m.,with the exception of Sunday.

"This is the first time a clinicof this kind has ever been heldin the State of Iowa and we areexpecting the unified support ofevery Osteopathic physician inthe state," said Dr. Della B.Caldwell, chairman of the com-mittee. "Iowa Osteopathic phy-sicians are offering their servicesgratis to the people of Iowa dur-ing this clinic and we are de-pending on every physician inthe state to send us as many pa-tients as possible.

"The death rate of adults isnot being lowered very much.Heart disease and cancer are cer-tainly on the increase, the onecausing more deaths among menand the other among women,

Xthaen, f ansy -other -disease .-.... Manycould have been saved had anearly diagnosis been made. Thesame can be said of diabetes,kidney trouble, and many otherdiseases. Every year shows anincrease in infant mortality, thatis, under one year of age, and itis reasonable to suppose that atleast some of these could havebeen saved had the parents beenin better physical condition-for after all, healthy parents arevery apt to have healthy child-ren.

"No treatments will be givenat the clinic; no hurried exami-nations will be allowed, andabove all, no 'pet theories' willbe tried out-this is an adultclinic for the people of Iowa-and as such will be conductedfor their benefit. Any patient re-ferred to the clinic by an Osteo-pathic physician will be instruct-ed to return to his home physi-cian for treatment."

How Much Osteopathy?Occasionally we hear the

statement that the present-dayOsteopath is not as good a doc-tor or not as good an Osteopathas the the old-timer. This setsus to thinking and wonderingwhether or not the subjectswhich of necessity have beenadded to the schedule, have tak-en away or detracted from theoriginal deep interest in thetherapy itself. We think not.Let us review what is offeredthe present-day student in theway of specific Osteopathic edu-cation.

In looking over the new fallschedule for the students of StillCollege we find that in the verybeginning of the work, in theFreshman year, each student isgiven a course of eighteen hourson the History of Osteopathy.This covers not only the earlylife and activities of the OldDoctor, but takes up the historyand development of the profes-sion, its legislative pursuits andthe growth of the course in thecolleges from the two-year up toour present four-year require-ment.

In the Sophomore B. class thestudent at Still College takes upthe study of Theory and Princi-ples of Osteopathy. This coversthe entire field of therapy intheory with the stress on the Os-teopathic and with facts to provethe contention that Osteopathyis more useful in the care andcure of disease than all othertactors added together.

After the student is firmlygrounded in the above, his nextstep is a thorough understand-ing of the mechanics ce thebody. The Sophomore A class isgiven a full ninety hour coursein Osteopathic Mechanics. Thistakes up the study of the articu-lations and all factors that in-fluence joint activity. Stress islaid on the three primary tissuesfrom our standpoint, that is:bone, ligament, and muscle. Aspecial division of the work ex-poses the mechanics of the vas-cular, nervous and visceral sys-tems of the body.

This work of body mechanicsis preliminary to the Junior Bclass in Applied Technic. It is inthis class that the student be-gins to correlate History, The-ory, Principles and Mechanics,in their application to actualmanipulative work on a subject.Applied Technic is exactly whatthe name implies. Straight Os-teopathic work is demonstratedand discussed. The use of me-chanical devices is a part of thecourse. Technic is applied to the

Leeches Lose MedicalStanding

In literature hearkening backto the days when medicine waslargely a hocus-pokus affair,leeches were bloodletters.

Then the leeches, what withthe rushing advance of scienceand the passing of country doc-tors to gi-ve -away- to 'specialists;.veil, the leeches rather passedout of the picture.

But when the druggist met re-cently for their state convention,it was brought out there aresome left.

Dr. P. W. Baker, head pharm-acist of a drug store, revealedthe last stand of the leeches inBirmingham. He had a family ofthree of them in a porcelain jarupstairs over his store.

"These came from Hungary,"he said, exhibiting one. It wasgrayish-black and wriggly.

"We sell about 150 of them ayear, where we used to sell 500to 600 a month. That was about20 years ago. Now we sell themlargely to old people, foreigners,or victims of fights.

"The leech takes hold of theskin and sucks out bad bloodthat is causing discoloration. Asthey feed they swell up, liketrue epicures. Pour salt water on'em and they'll let go." he said.

Still College is required to givea minimum of six hundred treat-ments. He may give many more.

The above resume proves thatOsteopathy is now being taughtfour years instead of two, butthat is not all.

In the teaching of each of theseveral divisions of the work theinstructor in that subject dis-cusses the Osteopathic Theoryand Technic of caring for thecondition. Thus Osteopathy istaught in Communicable Dis-eases, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, Gy-necology, Practice, Nervous andMental, Eye, Ear, Nose andThroat, Proctology, Urology andSurgery.

The Osteopathic Concept ofAnatomy is constantly being call-ed to the attention of the stu-dent. The intimate Osteopathicassociation of Physiology isbrought out. Osteopathic factsare interwoven with Pathologyand Osteopathic methods natur-ally become a very importantpart of Physical Diagnosis.

Each year the Trustees of theCollege make a special effort toimprove the course and this hasbeen the policy of the Collegefrom its beginning. We believethat we are offering more Osteo-ptthy than ever before and webelieve that our students are get-ting it. We know that you canlead a horse to water, etc., butwe believe with the constant of-fering of such an excellentdraught that the horse is in nodanger of death from thirst.

THE STILL COLLEGE BAND

THE D.M.S.C.O. Band, under the direction of Dr. H. V. Halladay,is undoubtedly one of the best of any such organizations in

any school of comparative size.The Band appears at each of the weekly convocations held

throughout the school year and presents marches, classical num-bers, popular pieces, novelties and solos by various members of itspersonnel. The Band, from time to time, makes appearances atvarious conventions, meetings and at other schools.

All graduating members of the Band receive a certificate ofservice from the organization. This is the most popular extra-curricular activity at the College. Anyone that plays an instru-ment is welcome to join "Virge's Gang."

Phi Sigma Gamma* * *

Phi Sigma Gamma was form-ed April 8, 1919, by the unionof the Phi Sigma Beta and PhiOmicron Gamma fraternities.The organization thus formedconsisted of five Chapters, towhich have been added two ad-ditional, making a total of sevenactive Chapters, one in each ofthe Osteopathic Colleges. Thenational publication is "TheSpeculum" and the colors areNavy Blue and White..

Delta Chapter is located at3029 Grand Avenue, in one ofthe finest residential districts ofthe city.

vail of accouchement. Said sheto the nurse, "Please, Miss, tellcat cullud man out in de hall datif married life am anything lakdis, ouah engagement is off rightnow."

Iota Tau Sigma

The history of OsteopathicGreek Letter Fraternities beganwhen a group of male studentsattracted the attention of theCollege by organizing a GreekLetter society or fraternity,namely, Iota Tau Sigma. Thiswas May 12, 1903, at the Kirks-ville College of Osteopathy,Kirksville, Mo. Since that periodsix Chapters have been added tothe mother Chapter. There is aChapter at each of the Osteo-pathic colleges. The nationalpublication is the Iota Tau Sig-ma Magazine edited each month.The colors are green and white,and the flower is the white car-nation. Although the fraternityis still in its infancy, it is wellknown throughout the field ofOsteopathy.

Beta Chapter is located at 692Seventeenth Street, one blockfrom the University Avenue carline. There were 29 active mem-bers during the past year. Drs.Beveridge and Cash of the Col-lege faculty are members of IotaTau Sigma.

Beta Chapter of Iota Tau Sig-ma at this time welcomes allfuture students of Osteopathy toStill and will gladly aid anyprospective student who maywrite us.

ATLAS CLUB

With the opening of schooland the excitment of getting lo-cated over, everything is gradu-ally getting into full swing againand everyone will be settleddown to the books this week.

We were glad to get back andto be able to again hear thenightly discourse from a certainfew brothers in the dormitory.We have noticed a few additionsto this happy group and we be-lieve the infliction must be con-tageous from year to year.

Brothers Dierdorff and An-dreen have acquired cars duringthe course of the summer. Bro.Dierdorff has a Model "T" coupeand says he averaged twenty-seven miles to the gallon of gason the trip to Des Moines-andabout the mileage per hour.

Brothers Dierdorff, Mount andAndreen made a trip to FortDodge, Sunday, to visit Bro. BobForbes. We were glad to get thereport that Bob is doing nicelyand we hope that we will seehim soon.

Brother Dene Moore tells ushe spent most of his time at theDenver Osteopathic Hospital dur-ing his vacation. Bro. Harry Tay-lor of the January, 1932, classis interning in the Denver Hos-pital.

Pledge Zick Isaacson has beenon the go again this fall. Hehitch-hiked from Denver the lastof August, then went on toYoungstown, Ohio, before schoolstarted, to visit friends and rel-atives.

We were pleased and surprisedto see Bro. Jim Donovan comein last week and without any re-sults of the operation, which itwas rumored he was to have. Hiseyes are the same as ever andJimmy seemed to be in the bestof health, but tired out from thetrip.

We are very sorry to hear thatBro. "Gus" Porter, Kay Davis,and "Spoon" Hutson will not bewith us this year. Brother Por-ter says that he is planning totake some Post Graduate workin Lansing. We will miss all ofthese men at the house.

We have had no definite wordfrom Brother Earl Moore, but hewill probably be unable to cometo school this year.

Xiphoid Chapter takes greatpleasure in announcing thepledging of Schiller Frazier, DesMoines; John V. Wilkes, Detroit,Michigan. Ernest O. Bowman,Nampa, Idaho; and Dick North-rup, Detroit, Michigan.

The general trend of affairshere at the house is again underway with most of the Brothersbeing back. Brothers Herd,Hurd, Whetstine and MacLaugh-lin stayed here at the house mostof the summer taking advantageof the extra work which theycould get in through the schoolclinic. However, Doe Hurd andJohn Herd spent a few days athome in the old country com-monly known as Maine. Johnwas lucky enough to drive backa new Plymouth.

The other day several of theBrothers found Brother Herdlistening to a lecture on theradio on "The Care of the Hair".It is believed that he will prob-ably use this added knowledgein the future in his professionaladvice since his worries alongthis line are almost at an end.

Out of a cloud of dust andsmoke a car drove up stoppingwith a groan. Brother Lyle hadjust returned from the highestpoint between the Appalachiarand the Rocky Mountains com-monly known as BellefontaineOhio.

We Are SorryIn the August 15 issue of

the Log Book, under the gen-eral heading of "Student Ac-tivities" all the histories ofthe Osteopathic fraternitieswere given. In the Iota TauSigma history the fraternitywas referred to as being "inits infancy." Several lettershave been received by the ed-itor objecting to the reference.

Each year every fraternityis asked to give a brief re-sume of its individual history.These articles are preparedby an appointed member ofthe fraternity and handed infor issuance in the Log Book.The article referred to was areprint of the history of IotaTau Sigma from the August,1931, issue of the Collegemedia.

We are indeed sorry thatthe reference as printed wasfound objectionable and has-ten to assure our readers thatthe article was not intendedas a slight on the fraternity.We are always glad of an op-portunity to correct any errormade.

THE LOG BOOK



President -C. W. Johnson

Faculty Adviser __H. V. Halladay

Editor --------- F. J. McAllister


A New Discovery?

Only recently Dr. H. H. Mc-Clellan of Dayton, Ohio, ex-plained the causes of insanity.Today, Dr. A. P. Faukhauser ofFairfield, who at one time wasin charge of the army X-ray lab-oratory at Otten, North Carolina,adds his study to the discussion.

"Dementia praecox is alwaysdue to spinal nerve pressurewhich in turn causes poison todevelop in the body. This poi-soning is known as auto-intoxi-cation. Some people are subjectto poison ivy while others areimmune, and both may beequally healthy. The apparentreason for this is that in somepeople the body glands secrete achemical which protects the bodyagainst poison ivy.

"It is therefore a foregoneconclusion and a fact, regardlessof method of doctoring, thatboth insanity and epilepsy arecaused directly by spinal nervepressure. The only cure is to re-move the nerve pressure."

Osteopathy Pays

Dr. H. V. Halladay received aletter from his daughter, Fran-ces, in which she states that shehas just received the highestphysical examination rating ofall Frehmen women at the Uni-versity of Arizona. She receiveda rating of 95.75% and wouldhave received 3% more, if shehad been vaccinated.

Naturally, Miss Halladay hasreceived Osteopathic care all herlife. She is majoring in Anthrop-ology and Archaeology at theArizona University this year.

Successful Clinic Held

(Continued From Page 1)

I. Gordon, J. M. Woods and F.A. Parisi. Students assistingwere: Norma Abolt, RachaelHodges, Poundstone, Dennis, Mc-Allister, Meyer, Withrow andseveral others.

Plans are already under footfor next year's clinic. The 1933clinic will be enlarged in boththe number of examinatingphysicians and the size of thequarters. It is planned to makethe clinic an annual affair. Theentire osteopathic profession hasadvanced in the minds of thepeople of the state as a result ofthis work.

I Dear Doctor: IThe faculty of Still College is

constantly being complimentedby the increasing number of let-ters containing questions. Thishas, a number of times, broughtup the question as to whether ornot the Log Book should attemptto incorporate these answers intoarticles or should the more com-mon questions be answered inthe somewhat informal mannerof the usual reply that you re-ceive.

We do not want this columnto assume the style and tone ofa well-known advertisement. Wedo not want to get into discus-sions with the field over ques-tions that may bring in the per-sonal element. We do not wantto encroach upon the work be-ing done by our scientific jour-nals of Osteopathy, but we feelthat if the answers that our staffsends out to the individual areof value to that one, they willalso be of value to others.

The Editor of the Log Bookwill be glad to receive questionsfrom the field. These will beplaced in the hands of the fac-ulty member best fitted to givethe answers and the results willbe published. This, we hope, willprevent repetition or the neces-sity of writing the same answerto several. As an example, weoffer below the answer that onemember of the faculty has writ-ten to four in the field duringthe past week. It is a seasonablequestion and an excellent one.

Question: What do you knowabout "Shin Splint?"

Ans. Shin Splint is the nameapplied usually by athletes to asevere pain felt mainly over theregion of the anterior part of theleg. It is usually found aftersevere strain but should not beclassified with the common Char-lie Horse condition which is dueto trauma of some type. ShinSplint is a nerve condition. It isnot accompanied by swelling orredness. The muscle fails to re-spond to the usual voluntary impulse and the entire leg feel;weak, altho the pain is not gen-eral. Any strenuous leg work onthe part of an athlete may brin.Lthe condition on, it being com-mon to all types of games. Someof the most severe cases havebeen seen in the sports that arethe least trying on the muscles.

Examination of the patientshould take into considerationevery possible anatomical devi-ation along the path of the nerveto this region. The first articula-tion to examine is the superiortibio-fibular. This is more com-monly found to be a slight for-ward displacement of the fibula.Hypertension in this region maybe responsible for an irritationto the external popliteal nerve.Lesions may occur in the popli-teal space, the back of the thigh,the sub-gluteal region and with-in the pelvis. Contracted pyri-formis muscle has been found ina few cases. Sacro-iliac lesions

and lumbar lesions as high as thesecond have been noted. Sincemany athletes go thru the entireseason without developing thiscondition, we believe it to be dueto a previous lesion which haslowered the power of the nerveto accommodate itself to extrawork, the result being that Na-ture demands a rest for the nerveitself.

The routine treatment is tocorrect any lesions that may befound along the path of thenerve. Light manipulation, andwarmth, but not severe heat, restand a support if the patient mustbe out of bed. Snug, but nottight, spiral taping will makethe patient easier. Examine thefeet for lesions that may pro-duce reflex effects and allow thereturn to use gradually.

X-ray shows no bone pathol-ogy. Examination convinces usthat the muscle and ligaments inthe neighborhood have not suf-fered from trauma. We mustaccept the diagnosis of a neuros-is and treat accordingly. It is notthe common thing to find a caseresponding in one treatment.Recovery takes from three orfour days to two weeks.

Casa Anna Maria


of Smockie, as we called her afew years ago when she wasstudying at the old school.

If you have a patient thatneeds an ideal atmosphere fromboth the climatic and environ-mental standpoints send them toCasa Anna Maria and put themin care of Dr Smock. Every-thing will be in their favor.

We had a wonderful two daysthere. A Mexican dinner overin Nogales, Sonora. Riding inthe morning, swimming in theafternoon and friends in for adinner in the evening. A wafflebreakfast at ten Sunday morningand the opportunity of renewinga friendship of many years ago.A former officer in the MedicalCorps of the Army whom we hadnot seen for twenty years.Wouldn't you like it? Well, wedid and we will never forget thedelightful hours.

The beautiful Casa and itssurroundings, the homey feel ofthings, the excellent food, thereally nice people it was a pleas-ure and a privilege to meet andSmockie who is radiant all overthe place.

We are going back when weare not in a hurry and take ourtime enjoying this outstandingfeature of our trip this Summer.

Drinking Women'sDaughters

Last fortnight a eugenist re-ported that women loaded withlactic acid would bear daughterswhile alkaline women bore sons.

Last week three Yale investi-gators-Drs. Harold Edwin Him-wich and Louis Herman Nahum,assited by N. Ratieten - re-ported to the International Con-gress of the Federation of Socie-ties for Experimental Biology atRome, that alcohol loads thebody with lactic acid. If drink-ing women bear daughters andabstainers bear sons, thencearises a problem in progeny foreugenists and sociologists to re-solve.

A notable fact is the increas-ing number of students enroll-ing each year that have hadprevious college training beforeentering D.M.S.C.O. This yearwe find several with Bachelorsdegrees in either Science or Artsand one Master's degree. A highpercentage of these studentshave had from one to threeyears college training beforecoming here; in fact those whohave had previous training ofsome description, beyond highschool, are in the majority.

Previous occupations listed areinteresting to note. Among themwe find some of the following:a chemist, college professor, ele-mentary teacher, merchant, salesexecutive, painter, interior dec-orator, wholesaler, reporter, gar-age owner, salesman, cafe own-er, and a large number of peoplewho have been in school as stu-dents at various places through-out the country.

The entire student body andfaculty have settled down to an-other big year at D.M.S.C.O.-no more rest periods until theannual Turkey Day in November.

Upon reaching Kirksville wewere impressed once more bythe fact that the town and theschool are almost one and thesame as evidenced by the deco-rations in the business section.Flags, banners and pictures ofthe Old Doctor were stretchedacross the streets and every sig-nal post was decorated by plas-ter plaques of Dr. A.

Upon reaching the collegeauditorium we found the pro-gram in full swing. Dr. GeorgeLaughlin welcomed the guests tothe celebration and to the meet-ing of the Missouri State Assn.beginning Oct. 6.

Dr. John Rogers Visitsthe College

Dr. John L. Rogers of Oskosh,Wisconsin, official representa-tive of the A.O.A., visited thecollege October 3 and 4. Thecollege takes a distinct pride inDr. Rogers, since his record inDes Moines includes teaching atWest High School, later gradu-ating from Still College a ndI;ater:-teac'hing in the college. Dr.Rogers arrived Monday, withoutwarning, stopping in Des Moineson his way to the pageant atKirksville. He made his pres-ence as inconspicuous as possi-ble, but even then caught someof the faculty teaching Osteo-pathy to the students.

The entire day was spent inmaking contacts with the mem-bers of the faculty. In the eve-ning the Phi Sigma Gamma, ofwhich Dr. Rogers is a memberof the Grand Chapter, entertain-ed him at dinner. Tuesday hecontinued his observations andat noon met with the faculty andthe local Osteopathic group at aluncheon at the ChamberlainHotel. It should be mentionedhere that Des Moines was in galaattire for the visit of the Pres-ident, and Dr. Rogers had theopportunity of seeing the down-town district under most favor-able conditions. Some of localgroup went so far as to makethe claim that the decorationswere in honor of Dr. Rogers,but he spied a banner across thestreet that indicated that Pres-ident Hoover was the premiervisitor of the day.

Dr. Rogers wants it distinctlyunderstood that he is not an in-spector, but merely contactmember of the A.O.A. We carenot what his office may be, weare always glad to see him andwelcome his constructive criti-cism. May we add that he is al-ways welcome and does not needto advise us ahead of his appear-ance. Still College is ready anytime for this visit, whatevername it may be assuming.

We noticed that Bro. Mountwas very conspicuous by his ab-sence last week. We were gladthat his wife could be here forthe Pledge dance and spend theweek-end with Roy.

Brother Schefold had a verypleasant surprise Friday night,when his parents came to DesMoines to spend the week-endwith him. Sheff has been unableto go home since he came to DesMoines last fall and he has beenanxiously looking forward tothe visit.

Brother Dierdorff returnedlast week from Minneapolis, hav-ing finished and passed the Min-nesota Basic Science Board. Wecongratulate Verne, also BrotherOgden, who passed the boardlast June.

We understand Brother Pot-ter enjoyed the Drake-Oklaho-ma football game a great deal,but upon returning home decid-ed that he should not have goneto see it. How about it, Cy?

Brother Kessler wishes to ex-press his appreciation to Bro.Schefold for acting as his valet.We thought Sheff was throughhis pledgeship, but possibly hewanted to continue for a longerperiod.

Brother Halladay is with usagain, having been detained inKewanee by the illness of hisbrother-in-law. Jay tells us hespent a good summer and seemsto have improved his golf gameto some extent.

Our table begins again thisweek. Brother Potter has beenappointed Steward and anyonewho doesn't believe he knows agood meal when he sees one, orrather, when he eats one-justask him. We expect a good num-ber to be able to take the eve-ning meal at the house thisyear. Mrs. Gertrude Merrill willbe back with us again to pre-pare the evening meal and actas house mother.

At a meeting of the AmericanLegion Post at Wahoo, Neb., Dr.WVm. K. Stefan of that city toldthe assembled throng what hethought about a certain situa-tion. Following is a reprintfrom the "Wahoo Wasp":

"Dr. Wm K Stefan was thespeaker for the occasion and hegave some very interesting factsrelative to his profession as anOsteopathic physician.

"Dr. Stefan gently scolded themembers for having not includ-ed the Oosteopaths in their'physicians' night" which washeld some time ago, and wentoni to remind his listeners thatan Osteopath is a physician, andpart of his speech he devoted toexplaining to his hearers the ac-tual meaning of the Osteopathicschool of thought and told themof the difficulty in educating thepublic to the real meaning of Os-teopathy.

Dear Doctor:

Some comment has been maden the article in the August is-ue of the Log Book pertainingo the teaching of more Osteopa-hy in this College. Severalaave written in asking us justvhat this new course in "Osteo-athic Mechanics" is and what ilovers.

In the first place in the Sopho-iore B class the student takes.p the study of Theory andPrinciples. (This course hasollowed the course in History ol)steopathy.) This course covershe entire field of therapy inheory with the stress on the)steopathic and with facts to)rove the contention that Oste-)pathy is more useful in theare and cure of disease than11 other factors added together.After the student is thoroughly

ThisLakes up the study of the articu-ations and all factors that in-luence joint activity. Stress isaid on the three primary tissuesfrom our standpoint, that is:)one, ligament, and muscle. Aspecial division of the work ex-poses the mechanics of the vas-cular, nervous and visceral sys-:ems of the body.

It is the belief of the facultyof this College that Osteopathyshould be taught all four years)f the college curriculum. Thework in the Junior and Senioryears is largely clinical but atall times is accompanied by tlieactual teaching and demonstra-tion of Osteopathic concepts.More Osteopathy is being taughtthan ever before and the beliefif general that the students aregetting it better as a result.

time is spent in one continuousround of conraries and misun-derstandings. In his infancy heis an angel, in his boyhood adevil; in nianhood he is every-thing fron a lizard up. In hisduties he is a fool. If he raises

Elephant's Job?

Although Nov. 8th provedconclusively that the donkey wasthe winner in the big NationalSweepstakes, the majority of thestudents at D.M.S.C.O. were con-vinced that the elephant wouldwin and some even ventured awager or two that the pacydermwould cross the finish line aheadof the one with biblical antece-dents.

At an assembly two weeks before the election, the Log Bookconducted a straw vote to testthe power of the various candi-dates that were running for thePresidency. At that time IHoo-ver carried the field easily withThomas running a poor third.

Hoover carried the Freshman.

while Roosevelt won by one votein the Senior class. The entirefaculty was not in attendancebut the majority of those pres-ent favored the Republican can-didate.

Of the twenty-four states rep-resented in the poll, Hoover car-ried all but Missouri, IllinoisMassachusetts and South Da-kota. When the ballots werepassed out, everyone was in-structed to place his choice, hisschool classification and hishome state on the ballot. Of thenumber who failed to do so,Roosevelt was the winner.

Since the result of the electionmany have remarked that theychanged their mind about theirchoice so that in the final out-come they were really victoriousFrom the overwhelming resultsaccorded President-Elect Roose-velt we are inclined to believethat such was the case.

A Few Figures

A prevailing question of theday is: "Shall Osteopathic in-stitutions increase their entrancerequirements to one year ormore of college work to includeChemistry, Physics, English, Bi-ology and other pre-osteopathicor pre-professional subjects be-fore ..permitting students to en-ter the professional schools J-,trse?"

In this article we are not go-ing to attempt a general discus-sion of the merits or advisabilityof such a venture but will con-fine ourselves to the facts asthey exist in the Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy.This question is being askedmore often every day.

The Registrar's office of thiscollege reports the following tab-ulations at the present time. Ofthe total student body, 65% ofthe enrollment have had collegetraining of some description-that is to say they give record ofhaving attended some institu-tion of higher learning aftertheir graduation from HighSchool.

Of this 65% group, more than16% have credits in PhysicsChemistry and Biology from rec-ognized institution and over 8%are holders of degrees such asB.A.. B.S., M.D., M.S., etc.

Taking the records over a pe-riod of years it is easily demon-strable that every year sees moreand more of our students com-ing from Colleges and Universi-ties. Practically all of our pres-ent Freshman class presentedCollege credits with their otherentrance requirement sheets.Each year has shown a markedincrease in students coming tothis college with a degree ofsome description.

T Dear Doctor: {Constipation

(By L. L. Facto, D. O.)

Constipation may be definedas the voiding of insufficientamounts or the abnormal reten-tion of fecal material.

There are a few things aboutthe etiology that should be men-tioned before taking up the diag-nosis and treatment. Constipa-tion is caused by improper foods,because of insufficient residue,lack of fluids, bad habits, suchas restraining from stool, atonyof the bowel, general weakness,fecal impaction, pelvic tumors,uterine misplacement, stencsis ofthe rectum, fissures and internalhemorrhoids.

Symptoms and DiagnosisWhen a patient comes to you

complaining of not having nor-mal bowel actions, has headache,nausea, tired feeling, the thingto consider is whether you aredealing with constipation or ob-stipation. It is necessary tomake a complete digital, ano-scopic, proctoscopic and sig-moidoscopic examination. Ifthe cause is not found by thesemethods an X-ray after a bar-ium, enema, or fleuroscopic ex-amination after a barium mealwill show whether there are anyabnormal kinking or obstructionof the intestinal tract.

The prognosis depends uponthe cause of the condition.

TreatmentThe first thing to consider is

the type of individual sufferingfrom the condition. A muscu-lar athlete who is suffering fromconstipation would not like theadvising of exercise to relievehis condition, because his consti-pation is due to the loss of lluidfrom excessive perspiration andmuscular fatigue. On the otherhand the individual who suffersfrom chronic intestinal indiges-tion and who cannot digestrough food such as cabbage, as-paragus or cauliflower, wouldnot be relieved by advice whichinvolves the partaking of largequantities of vegetables of thistype. These cases, of course, arenot the average case, so I wiloutline the treatment for theaverage case.

Because diet plays such an im-portant part in constipation thedietetic errors and excessesshould be ascertained and cor-rected and the patient instructedas to the diet best suited for hiMcondition. Form the habit ofgoing to the stool at a certaintime each morning. He shouldbe advised to drink from six toeight or more glasses of water aday, taking a full glass uponarising and retiring, this may beeither hot or cold, to take acertain amount of outdoor exer-cise of which long walks is thebest. Exercises which willstrengthen the muscles of theanterior abdominal wall wilt bebeneficial.

Local conditions, such as ul-cers and fissures must be re-'

Dr. J. F. Bailey DiesWord has reached the Col-

lege of the regrettable death ofa very prominent graduate-Dr.John Forrest Bailey. Herewithis a reprint from a daily paperin Waco, Texas, where Dr.Bailey had practiced for manyyears.

"Death came Sunday night at8 o'clock to take Dr. John For-rest Bailey, prominent in Wacomedical circles and fraternal andcivic worker, at his home, 2703Sanger avenue.

"Dr. Bailey, who had residedin Waco for 30 years came herefrom Kentucky in 1902, and hassince been connected with in-numerable civic enterprises andfraternal order activities.

"Born and reared in SimpsonCounty, Kentucky, Dr. Bailey re-ceived his education at the A.and M. College at Lexington, af-ter which he was graduated fromthe school of Osteopathy atFranklin. He held a diplomafrom the Des Moines school andalso an eye, ear, nose and thoratdiploma from Chicago.

"Dr. Bailey ranked high instate medical circles and was orthe state medical board of ex-aminers of Texas under fourgovernors, and at one time waspresident of the board. He wa:well read and knew human an-atomy thoroughly and enjoyeda successful practice.

"A devout Christian since theage of 17, Dr. Bailey was amember of the M. E. church,South, and a member of AustinAvenue Methodist church.

"He was a member of manylodges and orders and was anactive worker in all of them.He was a thirty-second degreeMason, was a past high priest ofRoyal Arch chapter, past thriceillustrious master of council, aScottish rite and a Shriner.

"In civic work Dr. Bailey wasknown for his co-operation invarious movements, as directorof the old Y. M. B. L. and mem-ber of the Chamber of Com-merce. He was founder of anorphan's home in Bowling Greenand the home is still in exist-ence.

lieved by surgical means or localtreatment. 'I mention here thatwhen we have a tight sphincterdue to irritation from a fissureor ulcer of the anal canal a di-vulsion should be done.

Lesions may be found in thespinal column from the fifthdorsal to the coccyx, but thelower dorsal and upper lumbarare the regions most involved.therefore, Osteopathic treatmentto correct the lesions is indi-cated. Lesions of the uppercervical may interfere with theimpulses being carried by thevagus. Manipulation treatmentthrough the abdominal wall fol-lowing the course of the largeintestine and stimulation of theliver often gives marked relief.

I do not have patient takelaxatives or cathartics becausemost of them have taken every-thing that they have heard of forthe relief of constipation.

Chicago Doctors TestHypnotism

Tests were conducted by ahypnotist before 20 Chicago phy-sicians recently to determine ifhypnotism might be used insteadof anesthesia for operations, butthe results, the doctors said,gave no grounds for such a be-lief.

The hypnotist was Capt. JasP. O'Donovan, a psycho-analyst,who appeared before a medicalround table with four subjects,three girls and a man.

After putting his subjects intowhat he described as a "cabalis-tic sleep" one at a time, CaptainO'Donovan attempted to haveeach dilate the pupil of one eyewhile the other remained itsnormal size. The test failed.

He next tried to have his sub-jects lose their reflexes, buttheir legs jerked with normalreaction to the thumping of thedoctors.

New Dietetic Principles

For Tuberculosis


berculosis as in other fever con-ditions. This may be due to thefact that in tuberculosis theremay be a high fever with rela-tively little toxic complicationIt is true also that high toxicdisturbance will produce amarked increase in metabolicrate even with little or no fever.Such factors must modify one'schoice of diet; for it means thatin most cases tuberculosis doesnot require as much increase infood as is necessary for otherfevers. McCann has shown alsothat in tuberculosis carbohy-drates materially increase respir-ation and metabolism. One hun-dred grams of cane sugar willincrease pulmonary ventilation60%. This interferes with func-tional rest. With this factor inmind the dietician will makeconservative use of carbohydrateeven though feeding to producea gain in weight. McCann hasfurther important data. Fatdoes not so markedly increaserespiration. One hundred andforty grams of fat will yield1302 calories and increase res-piration but 12%. And fat hasthe added advantage of being avitamin carrier.

Even the concept of feeding

to produce a gain in weight

needs to be given careful con-

sideration. Clinical study is

showing, as McLester words itthat "increased weight followsimprovement; improvement doesnot always follow increasedweight". Actually in cases ofrecovery from tuberculosis, thelean persons are the most ro-bust. Patients should be wellnourished, maintain weight atthe ideal weight or a few poundsover, but they should not be fat.Obesity proves a disadvantage.

Following such principles, Mc-Lester has developed three rulesfor diet in tuberculosis. 1-Letthe diet be ample, slightly morethan the estimated calorie re-quirement. The physician shoulduse his clinical judgment in de-termining this and be guided bythe appearance, vigor and senseof well being of the patient.2-The diet should be well bal-anced, not lacking in vitamins,roughage or minerals. The pro-tien should be liberal but notexcessive averaging 1.5 to 1.75grams of protein to each kilo-gram of weight. Carbohydratesshould make up 50% of the en-ergy supply of the diet. Fat andminerals should be abundant andgreen vegetables, fruit juices,tomatoes and milk used for thevitamins. Rule 3-The food

must be simple, well preparedand attractively served.

In protest against the diges-tive troubles which arise fromoverstuffing the tubercular pa-tient, Hawes has developed thefollowing equally valuable sug-gestions: Arrange for a simplewell balanced diet. Food be-tween meals is inadvisable; care-ful observation has shown thatthe tubercular patient will eatmore and with more relish atthree meals a day. Hawes dis-approves the innocuous egg noggand believes that cooked egg ismore valuable than raw. Onequart of milk a day is sufficient.And Hawes emphasizes the im-portance of rest before and aftermeals as aid to digestion.

Serious Accident ToDr. J. M. Woods

The morning of November19th the College was shocked tolearn of the accidental death ofM-rs: - Fern- Woods, wife of Dr.John M. Woods, member of thefaculty, and graduate of D.M.S.C.O. in the May class of 1923.

Dr. and Mrs. Woods accom-panied by Mrs. Marguerite Bev-eridge had started hunting thatmorning and had traversedabout 15 miles of their journeywhen a car approaching themstruck their car in a head on,collision. All three were re-moved to Des Moines hospitalsseriously injured. Mrs. Woodsdied the same evening. Dr.Woods and Mrs. Beveridge havejust been released from DesMoines General Hospital and areconvalescing at the present time.

Besides Dr. Woods, Mrs.Woods leaves three childrenand a host of friends to mournher parting. Funeral serviceswere conducted from a localfuneral home and were attendedby a large number of friends.Mrs. Woods had been active inlocal club work and civic en-terprises and was widely knownthroughout the entire osteopath-ic profession.

Dr. Woods and Mrs. Beveridgeare now convalescing at their re-spective homes. Dr. Woods ex-pects to resume his practice andteaching activities some time af-ter the first of the year.

Atlas Club Leads in B. B.Tourney

In the Sigma Sigma Phi Intra-mural Basketball Tournamentnow in progress, the Atlas Clubis leading with two wins. Twogames are being held each Wed-nesday night at which the stu-dent body of the College are be-ing treated to some fast gamesof "casaba ball". These gamesare increasing in popularityweek by week and teams in theleague are working hard to winthe tournament which will con-sist of seven games.

In the curtain raiser gamesthe Atlas Club defeated the Non-Frats by a score of 25 to 17 andthe Iota Tau Sigma quintet lostto the Phi Sigma Gammas by ascore of 14 to 8. Both gameswere hard and fast.

The second frame found oneclosely fought battle betweenthe Non-Frats and the Iota TauSigs. The score was tied backand forth most of the time theteams were on the floor and itwas anybody's game to the lastminute of the struggle. TheNon-Frats emerged victoriouswith a score of 24 to 21. Thegame between the Atlas Cluband the Phi Sigma Gammas wasbeautiful basketball but a ratherone-sided struggle. When thefinal whistle blew the Atlas Clubwas found victorious with a 35to 5 win in their favor.

Campus chatter has it dopedthat the next pairings will see abloody contest and a big crowdis expected to jam the gymna-sium. Dopesters have pointedout the advantages of the underdog, the over--confidence of thewinners, the fact that sore mus-cles are loosening up now andthat the arena will be filled withwild shouts, much gore, andmany arguments-this all be-ing true the admission price isnot nearly high enough.

Osteopathy's ChristmasStocking

Old Man Osteopathy is look-ing out of the window. Histhoughts are of his many chil-dren scattered over the earth.He looks back over the pastforty years of his life and re-views the many events. He seescolleges dedicated to his name.He has pictures of many institu-tions that care for the sick in hisname and he is happy in thethought that his work has beeninstrumental in this advance-ment. But is it a fair exchange?What has he given. to the work-ers who are listed under hisbanner?

Independence, a family, ahome with all the comforts thatmodern science can offer, honorsand an important place in thelife of the community. And forthese privileges what have yougiven back to Osteopathy? Per-haps you feel that you havedone your part but your duty isnever done if you are sincere.What can you do?

At this time the professionneeds new life. Each of ourcolleges can take more students.The profession needs them inthe field and if you are to keepOld Man Osteopathy alive he willhave to be fed with the newblood entering our colleges.Many of you have sent students.Some of you have never in yourentire Osteopathic life sent astudent to any of our colleges.The finest present that Osteo-pathy can ask for is a new groupintensely and sincerely inter-ested in the science and fullyconscious of the responsibilitiesof a professional life.

Osteopathy has given you allthat you have. Check this overand add to the total the pleasureyou have had along with yourwork. In return for these favorsthat Osteopathy has bestowedupon you, do your part to makethis the Merriest of Christmasesand the Happiest of New Yearsfor OSTEOPATHY.

Elected To StateLegislature

Dr. Mike Prather, Denver,Colo., will represent Arapahoeand Elbert Counties in the 29thGeneral Assembly of Coloradoas a member of the House ofRepresentatives.

Dr. Prather is a graduate ofD.M.S.C.O. in the May, 1923,class.

T Dear Doctor: Iv-

l (<*

Since the appearance of ourlast ad in the Forum listing thenumber and sequence of obstet-rical cases in the College wehave received a number of let-ters like the one quoted below.This makes us wonder if youpeople in the field think we aremaking claims that cannot bebacked up in actual experience.If you doubt for one second anyof the statements made either inthe Forum or any other publica-tion where we of the College au-thorize the statements, all weask of you is to make us a visitand see for yourself or ask anyone of our graduates. We donot publish the name of theyoung man who wrote the letterfor he is a student of Osteopathybut not in our College of course.We are sure that it would proverather embarrassing to him tohave his name and the name ofthe college mentioned.

Nov. 30, 1932.Des Moines Still College of Oste-

opathy,Des Moines, Iowa.Gentlemen:

Please send me your catalog.Do you allow all students to

witness OB and operations orare clinical cases restricted tothe Juniors and Seniors?

Do students in 'your collegeactually make deliveries beforethey graduate?

Are your laboratories equip-ped well? Are they in charge ofregular instructors or in chargeof students?

Thanking you, I am(Signed.)

Dr. C. W. Johnson replied tothis letter as follows. We canadd nothing to Dr. Johnson'sreply.):-ar Sir:

Replying to your inquiry ofNovember 30th respecting ourschool will say that we are mail-ing you a catalog which will giveyou pretty thorough informationas to the school.

In regard to obstetrics willsay that it represents one ofour large departments, that is,our clinic is divided into a num-ber of sections, the general, ob-stetrical, surgical gynecological,pediatrics, eye, ear, nose andthroat, proctological, athletic,etc. There is an experiencedhead who directs all the prac-tical work coming under thatparticular division. I must sayfurther that all work done inthese departments is on actualcases. The student thereby notonly does the work but must as-sist in the department's activity.

As to obstetrics our studentsare subject to the regular medi-cal educational laws pertainingto it, which is, that a student be-fore graduation must have de-livered two cases and been inattendance upon seven. Whilethis is the minimum require-ment, yet, our students are per-mitted to make as many deliv-eries as the conditions will al-low. There are students in theDresent Senior B Class who have

made from eight to twelve todate. I think there are nonewho have delivered less thanthree or four. The delivery isactual work at the bed-side. Ourstudents are assigned in groupsof four, under the direction ofa licensed osteopathic practi-tioner. The student does thework and he the supervising.One of our students made overfifty deliveries before complet-ing his work a year ago. Oneof our present assistants has al-ready attended one hundred andnine deliveries. I discussed thevariety of cases with one of theassistants today and he informedme that he had been in attend-ance at practically every knownobstetrical complication.

No one but the students in thelast three semesters' work arepermitted on the obstetricalgroups. You can judge theamount of experience from thefact that from October, 1931, toOctober, 1932, there was deliv-ered two hundred and forty-twocases by the students.

What is true of the clinicalpractice in obstetrics is true inall the other departments. Thismay sound a bit like boasting,but nevertheless I am makingplain statements of the facts. Avisit to our school and the ob-servance of our students at workwill convince you of the authen-cicity of the above.

As to our laboratories, theyare completely equipped for thework demanded by a medical col-lege. We have not run to anyexcess for the mere purpose oflaboratory display; the thingwhich is not necessary for usto do.

Hoping I have answered thequestions asked, I am

Very truly yours,C. W. Johnson, President.

Band ReorganizesAt a recent assembly a new

type of Still College Band blos-somed forth under the able di-rection of "Virge" Halladay.The old band was completely re-organized and cut down and af-ter much judging of talent a newband has been born.

In the language of the daythis new band is both "hot andsweet" and has been a source ofenjoyment to the entire studentbody and has done more to pro-mote good assemblies than anyother single factor this semester.The "Stillonians" even boast thatthey have a "crooner" andback up their boast by producingRonny (Rudy Still) Wilburn,who has been megaphoning eachweek.

The members of the new or-ganization include Blech, piano;Eckleman and Green, violins;Kestenbaum, Douglass and Rob--inson, saxaphones; Twadell,bass; Gnau, trombone; Slaterand Devine, banjos; Winslow,drums and Wilburn, singer.

Special arrangements, noveltynumbers, etc., are worked outeach Thursday afternoon at theweekly rehearsal and presentedeach Friday at the regular

.-,-eklv a.sembly.

Jack, Porter, Noble and Agnewwho, for once, have a legitimateexcuse for not being in class.

Moore has discovered musclesthat he didn't know he had, afterthose basketball games.

The O. B. army should beproud of its two new captains,Whetstine and Newman.

Devine floored us with his 97in Nervous and Mental.

Nelson forgot his tonsils whenleaving the hospital last week.

King had an Ohio Thanksgiv-ing dinner.

Its about time Blech andWithrow were leaving for Christ-mas.

ner.According to the telephone

call pad it looks as though Mey-er's wife is checking up sort ofsoon.

Joe impresses his patientswith his name Devine Dr. insteadof Dr. Devine, it works, too.

Freshman Notes

Well into the last six weeks ofthe first semester and our classstill intact. That sounds good.

"W. J." (Mr. Facto) was lategetting back to school after theThanksgiving vacation. He wasdown with the flu or something.Bob Hoeffer was also confinedto his bed for a few days.

A number of Frosh have beenshowing their stuff on the dif-ferent basketball teams in theschool league, namely: Spaul-ter, who has been playing abang-up game for the non-fratsin the center position, Gnau, alsoof the non-fraternal organizationat a guard, and who in the lastgame with the ITS was injuredsomewhat, chipping off part oftwo front teeth, banging up hisnose and hurting his side. Gib-son also plays a guard for thesame team.

For the Iota Tau Sigma quin-tet Bob Gerow has been strut-ting his stuff at guard.

Out at the P. S. G. house wehave Goode, a forward thatplayed the first round with thenon-frats, Crewse, forward, andBartram.

About all that is heard duringspare moments is "Going homefor Xmas?" From the waythings look most of the boys andthe girl are going. to take ad-vantage of the interlude. Any-way it will give them a chanceto catch up on all their studying,if by chance any of them happento be in arrears. Mattern andSwedberg can't decide whetherto make the trip home or waituntil spring.

This will be our last chanceto wish every one a MerryChristmas and a HIappy NineteenThirty-three so we do that littlething now.

New Dietetic PrinciplesFor Tuberculosis

(By Ava L. Johnson, B. H. Ec.,B. S., M. S.)

(Continued from Last Issue)So much as resume of dietetic

principles in general in treat-ment of tuberculosis. A fewyear's ago some German physi-cians arrested the interest of theworld with a diet built to speci-fic conditions in tuberculosis.Heretofore the method had beengeneral; these men were rigidand specific in their regime offeeding. The diet was inaugu-rated by Gersen, of Bielsfeld,Westphalia, and was based large-ly upon results from experimentswith animals. He proved thata protein diet reduced suscepti-bility to infectuous disease, andthat a preponderance of carbo-hydrate favors infection with tu-berculosis. He learned that anincreased ingestion of fat resultsin a greater resistance to and anearlier cure from tuberculosis.He proved that liberal vitamincontent and reduced sodiumchloride are favorable to the ar-rest of tuberculosis. From theseresults, Gersen built a diet whichwould fulfill their requirements.In it appeared high fat averageamount of protein, reduced car-bohydrate abundance of vita-mims and the minimum of NaC1.

Sauerbruch of the clinic forsurgical tuberculosis in Munich,attracted by the logic of thismethod, incorporated it into hisclinic regime. Here he, Gersenand Hermandorfer developed thediet which has ben given to theworld under their collectivenames: The essentials of theirsystem are: (1) All but com-plete exclusion of NaC1 (thediet is entirely salt free in theGersen plan) with a halogen freevegetable kitchen salt prepara-tion call "Eugasal" making aneffective substitute. The NaC1is diminished to the extent thatthe urine elimination is 2.3grams daily. If the output isgreater there is still further re-striction in the diet.

(2) Fresh, uncooked vegeta-bles and fruits figure largely inthe diet. An extract is used bypressing fresh carrots, beets,spinach, turnips, etc. And themenu include many fresh vege-table salads, fresh fruit and fruitjuices.

Nineof the members will receive "O.B. Certificates". Two memberswill receive "Assistant's Certifi-cates". The smallest number ofdeliveries participated in by anyone member is 15 and the larg-est is 12. Of the total of 201cases there were four sets of

twins. The class reports fourCaesarians, six breech deliveries,six forceps deliveries and tenhospital cases.

THE OBSTETRICAL DEPARTMENT operates

a clinic of over 200 cases each year. This number

of cases gives the student an opportunity to study and

care for patients that present practically every phase

of this important subject.This work is given during the last half of the third

year and first half of the fourth year. The class room

work includes assignments from text books, lectures,

quizzes and demonstrations with charts, as well as work

with the manikin. The clinical work includes complete

physical examination, routine check-up on blood pres-

sure, urine, and weight, prenatal treatments, deliveries

in the home or hospital, and after care.The practical work is so arranged that each eligible

student in his turn is assigned cases, and under the

direction of the head of the department, directs her

period of gestration. The student makes the delivery in

the home, assisted by three other students, a post grad-

uate student, and supervised by the professor of obstet-

rics or a licensed obstetrical assistant. Those in at-

tendance, in turn, make the after calls each day until

the patient is discharged.Under this training the student has an opportunity

to receive his instruction at the bedside by personal

touch, first as an assistant, and second as a practitioner,

enabling him to conduct cases as he meets them in gen-

eral practice. The hospital cases are delivered by the

head of the department, with 15 or 20 students in at-

tendance. During the time of delivery a lecture is

given on conduct of labor, technic, and hospital routine

for obstetrical cases.Our graduates have gained theoretrical knowledge

and practical experience qualifying them to act as com-

petent obstetricians.
