The San Francisco call., 1896-04-19

purpose of the Government to establish a
United States marine hospital at Oon-
alaska with the doctor in charge. The hos
pital will be specially constructed for the
use of the feet.
This will not be DR.. Kierulff's first visit
to the Alaskan territory, he having been
member of the governmental exploring
party OF 18S9-91, which was sent out to de-
fine the boundary line between Alaska
and Canada. The company was known as
the Porcupine River Party, and during
their stay in the frigid regions went $500
miles inland, and spent several weeks in
close proximity to the Arctic Sea.
1t was largely through DR.. Kierulff's
knowledge of the Alaskan territory and
his familiarity with the language and the
manners and customs of its people that he
was appointed surgeon of the feet. Dur
ing the black plague in China the doctor
had an opportunity of visiting the public
hospitals and of administering aid to the
Chinese.
DIR. Kierulff is but 80 years of age, and
though he has been graduated from med
ical college for but a few years he has.
gained considerable distinction in the med
ical world. Much Importance and consid-
cradle honor are attached to the Office to
which the young physician has been ap-
pointed.
