fronted with rare tropical and
foreign diseases, since our
armed forces operate on a
global basis.
In 1947, the museum was
renamed the Army Institute
of Pathology and its work
divided into four distinct
sections. These are the mu-
scum itself, the Department
of Pathology, which is
strictly for review, research
and consultation on patho-
logical problems; the Ameri-
can Registry of Pathology,
which correlates the insti-
tute's findings with those Of
civilian medical societies.
and the Medical Illustration
Service, whose basic job is
visual education in research.
Two years ago, the institute
became the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology and

and Air Force.
For many years, the insti-
tute's findings and educa-
tional facilities have been
available to the civilian medi-
cal profession; hence its
work, somewhere along the
line, probably has reached
into all our lives.
The institute still occupies
the building built in 1887,
but the museum now is across
the street, on the south side
of independence avenue.
Despite the fact its work
is of vital Importance, the
museum had only 10000 Wis
itors last year. During the
same period, the Smithso-
nian Institution was visited.
by 1887 ,544 persons, the Lin
coin Memorial by 1,614,222,

brine, and other pathological
samples were arriving at the
museum. Shattered limbs and
diseased tissue were ex-
amined in countless numbers.
Many of the original speci-
mems still are on exhibition
and one of the most interest
ing is the shattered legbone
of Brig. Gen. Daniel E. Sick
les, who shot Philip Key, son
of Francis Scott Key, in one
of the Districts most sem
sational slayings.
Gen. Sickles lost the leg at
Gettysburg. He attached a
tag to the amputated portion
and had it sent to the mu-
scum with his compliments"
For years he visited it an
nually.
The museum had a tiny be-
ginning on the second floor of
a downtown bank, and after
two moves, settled down in
Ford'S Theater in 1867.
It was there that it first
was opened to the public.
Visitors to the theater in
which Lincoln was shot also
wanted to see the medical
exhibits.
The museum moved again
in 1887, this time to Seventh
street and independence ave-
nue. S.W.
Through the Indian wars,
the war with Spain and two
World Wars, the work has
gone on and its progress is
a parallel to the general ad-
vance of medicine and sur
