The Clinical Center... More Than A HOSPITAL

Now there Is In Jeru-
salem by the Sheep Gate a pool,
In Hebrew called Bethzatha,
which has five porticos. In
these, lay a multitude of inva-
lids, blind, lame, paralyzed. One
man was there, who had been
Ill for 38 years. When Jesus
saw him and knew that he had
been lying there a long time,
he said to him DO you want
to be healed?' The sick man
answered him, Sir, l have no
man to put me in the pool
when the water is troubled, and
while / am going another steps
down before me- Jesus said to
him, Rise, take up your pallet.
and walk And at once the man
was healed, and he took up his
pallet and walked. =" John,
Chapter 81
The lovely, quiet "Pools Of
Bethesda" calm, placid, shad-
owed one on each side of
the entrance to the history
Clinical Center of the National
Institutes of Health = are
named for the biblical pool.
Perhaps more than anything
else, they are symbolic Of the
quiet faith in research and heal
ing with which the sick and
afflicted enter the towering
516-bed hospital.
An of the seven categorical
Institutes share the modern
research facilities of the Clinical
Center. 1t was the opening of
the hospital ten years ago that
finally enabled the institutes
and their scientists to round out
their research programs by the
addition of clinical studies.
The Center, which admits
about 1000 patients each year,
only upon recommendations of
their personal physicians and
the determination by NH that
they are suffering from diseases
and ailments currently under
study by the institutes, is more
than a hospital.
In a sense, it looks and sounds
the same the long corridors
with polished floors; the quiet;
the white-garbed nurses and
tecl1nicians; and the incessant
voice of the intercom calling for

tents are conducted In the
buildings several wings.
A typical floor has space for
about a hundred laboratories.
Use of demountable partitions
and interchangeable standard
equipment allows the number
and sizes to be varied, as need
arises. While unity Of operations
is maintained, patients are suffi-
GENTLY separated from the labo-
ratories by the nursing stations
to give maximum comfort and
privacy. The two-corridor plan
north and SOUTH and separate
banks of elevators separate traf-
fic to the patient and laboratory
areas.
Each institute of NH Is
responsible for the planning and
conduct of its own work in the
Clinical Center. OF the 700 medi-
cal doctors in the institutes,
approximately 400 have patient
care responsibilities.
Contrary 10 popular opinion,
the Institutes are not Inter
ested In patients with strange
and mysterious maIadies. Their
interests lie In the major dis
ease categories which affict SO
many. Patients are carefully
selected through Recommended
tons Of their own doctors. The
institutes also recruit patients
for special needs by circuliza-
ton Of . list OF some 1O,000
physicians throughout the coun-
try.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1963-05-16

When a problem Is selected,
methods of approach are deter
mined by research team. This
may include scientists from
more than one institute and
from other research organiza.
tons. Patients pay nothing for
the services they receive. They
are only required to pay their
transportation costs to and from
the center.
The average stay is IS days.
But many studies depend upon
the patients remaining for
longer periods, sometimes three
or four months. The approx
mate length of stay is carefully
explained at the time of admis-
sion. Patients understand, too,
they viii be discharged back to
the care of their own doctor
when their participation in a
study has been completed,
and when their condition per.
mits. After discharge, follow-up
examinations or treatments may
be given periodically for a few
months to 10 years or more -
an important procedure in medi-
cal Investigations.
There are other kinds of pa.
tients at the Clinical Center.
They are referred to as normal
control volunteers" One of the
important phases of medical
research is to learn how and to
what degree various parts and
processes of the body are
affected by disease, or by drugs
or procedures used to diagnose
or prevent, or treat disease.
Thus, II often Is necessary 10

normal, healthy people. From
the need springs the Clinical
Center's normal volunteer pro-
gram The volunteers at the
Clinical Center, about 500 each
year, play . valuable role In the
advancement Of medical knowl-
edge.
Who are these stalwarts who
volunteer to suffer? Many Of
them come from church groups
such as the Mennonites and the
Brethren. Their religious beliefs
require them to give two years
of their lives to humanity; some
are Quakers, others are consci-
entous directors who stil want

to Serve" About half are
inmates from Federal prisons.
Still others come from homes
for the aged.
The normal control" is not
experimental upon without
regard to his individual welfare.
No unknown drugs are admins
tered and dangerous procedures
are not performed on him.
To safeguard the volunteer is
a cardinal rule at the Clinical
Center. Not every researcher
can tap the normal" pool. A
researcher must first convince
a committee of NIHs medical
board that his work involves no
undue hazards and that the
information he needs can be
obtained in no other way. III the
committee okays the request
for a normal control. the project
passes on to the board itself.
But final approval is required
to be made by the director of
NH. So far, no volunteer has
suffered serious injury.
All Clinical Center normal
volunteers are under hospital
regulations. Once admitted to
the center, they are patients"
During free time they can leave
the Center or use its gymnasium
or arts and crafts shop. But
they must be back in the ward
by 8 pm, or, If on a pass, by
IL pm.

He received his medical degree

NUMISMATIC NOTES
1888 Flying Eagle

The legal birthday Of the
Flying Eagle cent was Feb
ruary 81, 1857. when Congress
passed a law including sew
eral coinage changes.
This act replaced the large,
164-grain copper cent with
the Flying Eagle, 72-grain,
copper nickel coin. 1t d.
rected the Mint to use the
new small cents as needed
for redeeming both large
cents and Spanish and Mex
ican silver coins. 1t also
ended the coinage Of half
cents.
The new Flying Eagle cent,
though convenient in size,
Evening star., 1963-04-21

proved unpopular and lasted
less than two years. Much of
the disfavor came about from
the redemption feature.
In swapping cents for for
eign silver, the silver was ac-
cepted only in packets Of IS
value Qimit $500 with a
packet being traded for q bag
Of 500 Flying Eagle cents.
In this way large quantities
of such cents became owned
by relatively few people.
When such owners began to
pay bills using only hun
dredS Of these cents in some
areas these coins soon be-
came a nuisance to all con-
cerned.
The annoying Flying Eagle
gave way to the Indian Head
design beginning in 1859. The
two-year production Of Fly
ing Eagle cents totaled about
AZ million coins and both
dates are plentiful in worn
condition though uncommon
in choice uncirculated state.
In 1858 there were two va
rieties, the large letter" va

joined in the word AMERICA
and the small letter" vari-

That Arbor Day Stamp Tree
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

Back in 1882 the Post Of
flee Department issued a q
cent red Arbor Day stamp
picturing a boy and girl
planting a tree.
It is one Of the few United
States stamps with a design
including readily identifiable
living persons.
The children are Alvin
Hall, jr., and his sister Ruth,
whose father, Alvin w. Hall,
was director Of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing.
The tree also is identifiable.
1t is a maple still growing
beside the Hall home at 1919
Kalmia road NV.
The Arbor Day stamp, an
nounced early in February.
1892, was a rush Job, honor
ing a noted Nebraskan, J.
Sterling Morton, founder of
Arbor Day, in an election
year. 1t was first placed on
sale in his home town, Ne
braska City, on April %.
The late Michael L. Eds
ness, then head of the Post
Office Departments Division
of Stamps, is credited with
suggesting the design and
also with suggesting that the
Hall children pose for q
photograph which could be
used by A. r. Meissner of the
bureau In the preparation Of
the art work.
Mr.. Meissner made q few
minor changes. He moved
Alvin closer to the tree and
substituted a spade for his
coal shovel. He also shifted
the position of the house in
the background, and used for
his sketch of 1t a photo of the
Hall house taken from the
street side. He made no ef-
fort to modify the features
Of the children, however, and
the issued stamp is as close
to the photograph as is pos
Sible with line engraving.
The Arbor Day stamp was
the last Of the 2-cent COM
memoratives. since the letter
rate was increased to 3 cents
less than three months after
Its release.
Mr.. Hall, who retired as d.
rector Of the Bureau of En-
craving and Printing In 1854,
and his wife still live at 1919
Kalmia road, but the children
have grown up and have chill
dren of their own.
