DR.. E. A. Graham, Expert
On Lung Cancer, Dies

ST. LOUIS, Mar. S (P).-Dr.
Evarts A. Graham, famous inter-
nationally for his work on lung
cancer, died yesterday of lung
cancer.
The 73-year-old surgeon had
retired six years ago, but con-
tinued his research work. 1t was
not determined until six weeks
ago that he had lung cancer.
DR.. Graham insisted there is
"a link between it and cigarette
smoking. He himself had smoked
cigarettes, but almost none in
the last 10 years.
Cites Positive Evidence
DR.. Graham told the Inter-
American Congress Of Surgery in
1919 he suspected cigarette
smoking might cause lung can
Ger. In 1853 he and two asso-
Iciates reported that two years of
laboratory work on mice showed
positive evidence cancer could be
produced by the tars in cigarette
smoke.
The surgeon gained widespread
fame in the l920s for his use of
X-ray photographs in the study
Iof gall bladder diseases. In 1888
he became the first surgeon to
remove an entire human lung
successfully. The operation.
which since has saved the lives
OF numerous cancer victims,
took place at Barnes Hospital
on April S. 1888. The patient
was DR.. Robert Gilmore, a
Pittsburgh obstetrician, who fully
recovered.
DR.. Graham. a blunt, out
spoken man. rerlred in 1851
after 80 years as chief surgeon
Of Barnes Hospital and also as
head of the Department of Sur
gerry at the Washington Univer-
sity School Of Medicine. At that
time he was named professor
emeritus at the school and re-
manned active in research.
Gets Lister Medal
DR.. Graham helped found the
American Board of Surgery
which determines competence in
the field. He was president of
the International Congress of
Surgeons in 1858. He was the
second American to be awarded
