inal surgery in America.
Plans for the stamp were
first announced last Friday
in Danville at the dedica-
ton of the Mcdowell Apoth-
ecary, a small building next

Requests for a stamp for
DR.. Mcdowell go back to the

two physicians, DR.. Craw-
ford w. Long. credited with
the first successful use Of
anesthesia, and DR.. Walter

ical groups developed consid-
cradle support from surgeons
outside the State and had
the active assistance Of Ken
tucky's two Senators, Thrus-
ton Morton and John Sher-
man Cooper.
DR.. Mcdowell was born in
Rockbridge County. Va, in
It'll and taken as a child to
Kentucky. He studied medi-
cine in Staunton, Va, and at
the University of Edinburgh
before establishing his prac-
