FAMOUS SURGEON DIES IN BALTIMORE Dr. J. C. Bloodgood, Il for Year, Was Leading Foe of Cancer. By the Associated Press BALTIMORE, October 23.—The in- ternationally famous career of Dr. Jos- eph Colt Bloodgood, noted surgeon and & leader in the long battle against eancer, had ended in death today. Dr. Bloodgood, head of the Johns Hopkins University Laboratory of Sur- gical Pathology, a staff member at Johns Hopkins Hospital and chief sur- geon at St. Agnes’ Hospital here, was stricken suddenly last night at his home. Death was due to coronary throm- bosis. Dr. Bloodgood would have beea 68 years old November 1. Although 1n ill health for more than a year, Dr. Bloodgood had been able to continue his duties. He was stricken while seated with members of his fam- 1ly in the living room of his home. Fought Fake “Cures.” As spokesman for the American So- clety for the Prevention of Cancer, which he helped found in 1913, it was his task to puncture claims made for baseless or fraudulent “cures” of the malady. The society aimed to educate the public on the nature, control and prevalence of cancer, and Dr. Blood- good always emphasized that too much was spent searching for cures and not enough on research for causes and pre- vention. His addresses were made at medical association meetings in all parts of the United States and also abroad. Always they were given to the press, chiefly through the Chemical Foundation, ‘whose president, Francis P. Garvan, was a stanch ally with both effort and money in the fight that Dr. Bloodgood waged. Educating the public was, however, only one half the campaign. The other was devoted to spreading knowledge of the latest methods of diagnosis among physicians and surgeons and X-ray specialists. To that end Dr. Bloodgood, as director of the cancer research fund bearing his name, was the chief spon- sor of a serles of meetings that called cancer specialists to Baltimore from all parts of the country. Born in Milwaukee. Dr. Bloodgood was born at Mil- waukee on November 1, 1867. He was the son of Francis and Josephine Colt Bloodgood and scion of a family prominent as lawyers. His father and two brothers, Wheeler and Francis Bloodgood, jr., formed one of the most widely known legal firms in Wisconsin. He was graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1888 with the degree of bachelor of sci- ence and from the University of | Pennsylvania as a doctor of medicine in 1891. He went to Baltimore the mnext year as assistant resident sur- geon in Johns Hopkins Hospital, where his career was to center. He also studied abroad. How notable that career became was evidenced in 1922, when he was chosen 1 of the 10 selected from 20,000 alumni of the University of Wisconsin for that institution’s hall of fame. He lived to see great progress made in both the prevention and treat- ment of cancer. In 1930 he told a congressional committee considering & measure for a Nation-wide survey of the malady that the percentage of cures was still less than 10 per cent, but that this represented an increase of 50 per cent as compared with 1920. Funeral Services Tomorrow. Private funeral services will be held at his home tomorrow. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Edith Holt Bloodgood; a son, Holt Bloodgood; a daughter, Miss Wini- fred Bloodgood; two sisters, Miss Margaret Bloodgood and Mrs. Frank ‘Turner of Milwaukee, Wis, and a brother, Francis Bloodgood, also of Milwaukee. ——— ARCTIC ROUTE USED Soviet Ships Reach Far East.

C, INADEQUATEFUNDS HITBY RUHLAND Health Needs, Particularly in School Examinations, Pointed Out. ‘Without criticizing the expenditure for education in the District of Co- lumbia, Dr. George C. Ruhland, health officer, last night declared the sums allowed for public health, particularly as it applies to physical examinations in the schools, are wholly out of pro- portion. “What is the use”” he asked, in effect, “to spend almost $14,000,000 annually to educate our children, and then, because we spend only $100,000 on their physical well-being, allow them to die at an early age?” Dr. Ruhland pointed out that nor- mal school pupils, graduates of the public school system, show 27 per cent defects in nutrition and about 50 per cent uncorrected dental defects.

Pectin, a gelatin used for gum, has been extracted from the white inner skin of oranges by Dr. M. Bergmann, a German-Jewish professor at the Daniel Sieffl Institute in Rehoboth, Palestine. The discovery is considered of great commercial value and it is expected to cause a revolution in the orange by-products market. Potatoes have until now been used in Jerusalem to produce pectin.

It may end seriously —in the form of fluor pneumonia. When a cold strikes, strike back with redoubled force. Depend on no mere makeshift remedies. A cold calls for a cold treatment, not a preparation good for all kinds of ailments. A cold also calls for internal treatment, for a cold is an internal infection. Make Grove’s Laxative Bromo Quinine your treatment and you have hit a cold a body blow. Bromo Quinine is effective be- cause it is a cold tablet made expressly for the treatment of colds and nothing eise. It routs colds quickly because it is internal treatment, fourfold in effect. First, it opens the bowels, an advisable step in treating a cold. Second, it checks the infection in the system, a vital measure. Third, it relieves the headache and fever. Fourth, it tones the system and helps fortity against further attack. Be wise and Flny safe! At the first sign of a cold go right to your druggist for a package of Bromo | Quinine. Begin taking the tablets at once, two every four hours. In 24 hours, if ukenvl};rompt- ly, Bromo Quinine will often check a cold. Bromo Quinine containsnothing harmful and is safe to take. When you ask for it, insist upon getting what you ask for. The few pennies’ cost may save you a lot of worry and money. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1933, of which Dr. E. C. Higbie, president of Wilson Teachers' College, is presi- dent. The meeting, the first of a serles planned by the association, was held in Roosevelt High School. Dr. Ruhland also stressed the need for a larger staff of public school nurses, saying that the present stafl averages only one nurse to 7,800 pupils. The situation he character- ized as “shameful.” Dr. Ruhlard was forced to leave the meeting early to attend another of the District Medical Association, which has launched its anti-tuberculosis drive in the District. Health Director Heard. In his absence Birch E. Bayh, di- rector of health and physical educa- tion in the public schools, assumed the speaker’s role and was questioned by the other members of the panel. ‘They include Henry 1. Quinn, chair- man of the Physical Education Com- mittee of the Board of Education; Miss Augusta Kreiner, director of physical education for women at Wilson Teachers’ College; Miss Ruth Atwell, director of physical education for women &t George Washington Uni- versity; Lewis R. Barrett, co-ordinator of District playground and recreational activities, and Chester W. Holmes, principal of Anacostia High School. Bayh defended the stand taken by Dr. Ruhland that more money is need- ed for physical education in the schools and for the protection of the health of school children. He took occasion to repeat his formula for halting over-emphasis of “varsity” remedy is “more games and athletics, for more boys and girls.” A panel discussign of mental health will be held at the next meeting of the assoclation. —,— Largest Diesel Car Ready.
