Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of HygeiA. the Health Magazine
The first monument in this country to be erected
to the memory Of a patient who contributed to the
advancement Of medical science was dedicated on May
80. at Danville. KY. It pays tribute to Mrs. Jane Todd
Crawford who, on December 80, 1909. was operated on
in Danville for the removal OF a tumor.
Kentucky. after the beginning Of the 18th century,
was largely wilderness. In the frontier town Of Dan
Vile. Ephraim Mcdowell a pioneer physician. had his
office. His practice extended over 100 miles around.
Anesthetcs had not yet been discovered. Yet in
the midst Of this wilderness, without any Of the ia
ciities Of modern times. Ephraim Mcdowell p~racticed
surgery and did all Of the operations attempted up to
his time.
Here. for the first time, he did the abdominal oper-
alton which brought him enduring fame. His pa
tient was Mrs. Crawford Of Motley's Glen. so miles
from Danville.
Everyone had said that the removal Of such a
She had in her side a great lump. constantly growing
bigger and bigger. constantly causing pain and dis
tress.
On December Is. 1909, Mrs. Crawford. then AZ years
old. arrived in Danyile. She had Travelled the go
miles on horseback. She was a small woman. The
growth in her abdomen had become bruised against
the horn Of the saddle.
Inc room IN the nome OF Epnrdlm mcdowell was
not the glistening white tiled operating room Of our
present day magnificent hospitals. Just a bleak
space, in the center Of a hard wooden table. covered
with a folded blanket.
There were no fine white sheets. no a~ntiseptic solu-
tons. no Whitehead nurses standing before tables
full Of flashing surgical instruments.
Beside Or. Ephraim Mcdowell stood Charles McKin-
ny, a pupil studying medicine. On the opposite side
Of the table was DR.. James Mcdowell. a nephew; and
at the end of the table was Mrs. Baker. an attendant.
DR.. Ephrsim MCDOWELL marked out the place for
the incision which was then made by DR.. James Nc
DoweIl. AS the operation proceeded Mrs. Crawford
recited numerous psalms.
Five days later she was up making her own bed.
Twenty-Five days later she rode home on horse
back.
In 1918 Mcdowell operated on a negro woman, and
in 1916 he did a similar operation. Finally in 1917 he
published his results.
In Danville stands a fine monument. erected by
the physicians Of Kentucky TO the great pioneer sur
geon. Ephraim Mcdowell. And now the doctors Of
that state have led in the erection Of a monument to
the woman who helped Dr. Ephraim Mcdowell make
this great advance in medical science.
