Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Years of Medicine and Surgery in Missouri: Historical and Biographical Review of the Careers of the Physicians and Surgeons of the State of Missouri, and Sketches of Some of Its Notable Medical Institutions In the production of this work, issued under the auspices of the St. Louis Star, the publishers claim the honor of presenting the first comprehensive history of the origin, development and progress of the medical and surgical sciences in the State of Missouri. With the united co-operation of a carefully selected staff of contributors and the painstaking efforts of the compilers, data, events and reminiscences have been collected and arranged with special regard to their chronological sequence, embracing the development of these fields of science from their earliest periods in the history of this good State and tracing them through the nineteenth century to the present day. To include in one volume the many scattered facts relating to the physicians of Missouri, biographical points of interest, landmarks of medical institutions in the early days of Missouri's development, has involved the exploration of untrodden ground. There have been no works of predecessors in this field of medical chronology to consult, and the editor and publishers realized the difficulties of their task. As a source of information we have drawn freely from the records of the State, from the pages of the early newspapers and medical periodicals, writings of illustrious physicians, now dead, and the reminiscences and recollections of some of our old and much esteemed living medical confreres. We are cognizant of the many shortcomings which this first collection of historical data of medical and surgical importance to the State of Missouri must present, and we most respectfully ask the indulgence of the reader. Whatever credit may attach to this work is due largely to the conscientious work and hearty co-operation of the selected staff of contributors, a list of whom appears on another page. The publishers extend to these gentlemen a grateful appreciation of their valued work. To the generous criticism and the appreciation of the physicians and surgeons of Missouri, and to the interested laity, we commend this work.

Download or read book Quinine and Quarantine written by Loren Humphrey and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2000-04-05 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a fascinating overview of medicine in Missouri from the early days of epidemics to present-day technological advances, Quinine and Quarantine approaches the history of medicine as an integral part of the state's development. Examining the changing environmental risks and diseases that threatened Missouri over the years and the role of the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers as prime routes for the spread of diseases and innovations, Loren Humphrey discusses the efforts of citizens, legislators, and health officials confronting various medical challenges. He offers intriguing medical details of the past two centuries interspersed with the stories of significant historical figures and Missourians' personal accounts. He tells of the pioneers' struggles to use natural remedies acquired from Native Americans, the gory and unsanitary attempts to treat early gunshot wounds, and the common afflictions and diseases such as "swamp fever," measles, mumps, consumption, dysentery, smallpox, and typhoid that seemed beyond medicine's effects. Humphrey also discusses the significance of the discovery and reluctant acceptance of the "antifever" breakthrough now famous as quinine, as well as the lessons learned as a result of Civil War medical techniques. Quinine and Quarantine takes readers on a remarkable journey that concludes in the present, arguably the most exciting and controversial era for medical advances. Humphrey explores new imaging techniques, laparoscopic surgery, and research on ways to overcome bacterial resistance to antibiotics. He challenges the reader to consider such compelling issues as the escalating cost of health care and the threats posed by environmental hazards. He also identifies topics over which Missourians will likely struggle well into the next century, such as transplants, managed care, abortion, and assisted suicide. Organized chronologically in fifty-year segments and written in language free of jargon, Quinine and Quarantine offers readers a broad historical view of the medical problems and solutions faced by the people of Missouri, preparing them to cope with medical issues of the new millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Readers will find in his biography an extraordinary tale of the travails of twentieth-century railroading through the career of this one man.” —The Annals of Iowa After graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, John W. Barriger III (1899–1976) started his career on the Pennsylvania Railroad as a rodman, shop hand, and then assistant yardmaster. His enthusiasm, tenacity, and lifelong passion for the industry propelled him professionally, culminating in leadership roles at Monon Railroad, Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad, Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad. His legendary capability to save railroad corporations in peril earned him the nickname “doctor of sick railroads,” and his impact was also felt far from the train tracks, as he successfully guided New Deal relief efforts for the Railroad Division of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation during the Depression and served in the Office of Defense Transportation during World War II. Featuring numerous personal photographs and interviews, John W. Barriger III is an intimate account of a railroad magnate and his role in transforming the transportation industry. “Thanks to Roger Grant’s latest book, Barriger and his amazing legacy endures, waiting to be rediscovered by a new generation of readers. Trust me, you’ll learn a lot.” —Classic Trains “H. Roger Grant’s biography, John W. Barriger III, offers a new and much needed perspective on this prominent individual. Grant brings together an overview of Barriger’s career developments with an appropriate balance of insights into his early life and introduction to railroads.” —Journal of Transport History
