Talk Of war these days IL not con-

Discussion Of the Philippine bill yes
terday afternoon resulted in a clash be-

in It some aspects Of belligerency.
Senator Reed attacked former Presi-

''The peaceful banks Of oyster Bay
are about the safest place in the world
from which to issue a declaration OF
war;" said he.
He compared the colonel with o fero-
cious bulldog securely chained in his
own yard, where he knew he couldn't
get into a fight. This led Senator Fal

he thought oyster Bay was safer

Keokuk as a Medical Center
[9y s. w. Moorhead, M. d.

Those files of early medical journals
afford conclusive proof that the men
engaged in teaching medicine in Keo-
kuk in ante-bellum days were masters
of their art. AS practitioners of the
healing art they lacked many of the
instruments of precision which are
, now part of the equipment of every
physician, but this lack seems to
have developed in them an almost I'M
canny prescience in the use of the
unaided eye, ear and hand. Fever
thermometers, for instance, were then
unknown. but so skilful did the aver
age practitioner become that he could
determine the temperature of a
patient within fraction of degree
by noting the feel of the skin and
the rate and resistance of the pulse.
So, too, he learned volumes from the
presence or absence Of the "buffy"
coat of the blood.
Another noteworthy feature Of the
writings of those engaged in the work
Of medical education in Keokuk In
pioneer days was the originality dis
played. Perhaps there was larger
opportunity for originality then than
now. However this may be, pioneer
medical educators in Keoliuk made ex-
tensive and systematic investigations
for themselves, analysed their IND
ings with rare skill and liz their con-
illusions forecasted many OF the later
important discoveries in medicine
and surgery They were really great
men in their line of endeavor. The
! most widely known among them was
DR.. J. c. Hughes, Sr. He was dlstln-
guished not only as teacher, but
| also as one of the foremost surgeons
in the country in his time. He was
nuoted as an authority in the leading
text-b book on surgery in his day ana
enjoyed a reputation that extended
| beyond the confines of the united
states During the civil war he held
| the responsible position OF surgeon
| general of Iowa and discharged Its
duties with noteworthy ability ana
success. Among his associates were
others almost equally well known.

Keokuk enjoys the unique distinc-
ton of having been for more than
half century the smallest city in
the country ranking as an important
medical center This was because of
the loundlng here of a medical col
lege as early as I849 to meet the
educational needs of the rapidly de-
yeloping Mississippi valley. AT that
date there were medical schools in
Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati,
New Orleans, Buffalo and Chicago,
but none west OF the Mississippi river
outside of ST. Louis. The few rail
roads then in existence were limited
to the Atlantic seaboard and trans
portation facilities were or the most
primitive character. Travel was also
quite expensive. The OK cart, fiat
boat and steamboat were the common
carriers most in use. With the great
influx Of population and its rapid In
crease along the streams and upon the
prairies of the middle west there
arose real need for physicians to
conserve the health Of the people.
The far-seeing fathers Of medicine in
those days saw that the best way to
meet this need was to educate some
OF the ambitious sons of the early
settlers rather than depend upon an
uncertain supply of medical talent
from the shores Of the Atlantic or
from foreign countries. The wisdom
OF this decision was amply confirmed
by results. The diseases most preva
lent in the middle west in the early
days of its settlement were of dis
tlnctive type. They differed from the
classic diseases described In the text
books OF the day in that they were
more virulent and required more ener
getic treatment. Medical practice in
accordance with the conservative
teachings OF the eastern schools
would have been futile. In the Keo
kuk school the students were taught
by men who had actual personal
everyday experience with diseases
not as analysed in the laboratory and
described in the textbooks, but as
encountered in daily practice in the
Mississippi valley. In consequence
the west was steadily supplied with
young physicians intimately acquaint
ed with the types of disease they
We're destined to encounter and
wholly capable Of encountering them
successfully. More of this kid Of
practitioners were sent out from the
keokuk school than any other like
institution in those days.
1t was my good fortune recently tc
peruse copies of medical journals puo
hshed in Keokuk in the early So!
and COS. What impressed me mos
was the signal ability that character
lied their contents. Editorials ant
contributions were Of an EXCEPTIONAL!
high order throughout. The advance
In medicine has been so great in re
cent years that we are apt to lool
upon our predecessors Of sixty ant
seventy years ago as having had only ;
limited acquaintance with disease
rbere could be no greater mistake
