I do solemnly swear
by that which I hold most sacred:

That I will be loyal to the profession of medicine

and just and generous to its viembers;

That I will lead my life and practice my art

'' A ^ in uprightness and honor; ,^ fff*AT«\T\ff

That into whatsoever house I shall enter, K' lllivlk.l^JlTj

it shall be for the good of the sick

to the utmost of my jiower,

I holding myself aloof from wrong,

from corruption, from the tempting of others to vice;

That I will exercise my art solely for the cure of my patieyits,

and will give no drug,

perform no operation for a criminal purpose,

even if solicited, far less suggest it;

That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives of men

which is not fitting to be spoken,

I will keep iyiviolably secret.

These things I do promise

and in proportion as I am faithful to this my oath

may happiness and good repute be ever mine —

the opposite if I shall be forsworn.

PREFACE

Bloomington, 111.
Dr. C. R. Parke, Louisville, Ky.:

Dear Doctor Parke: — On September 7, 1904, the McLean County
Medical Society passed unanimously the following resolution:

Resolved,. That Dr. C. R. Parke be asked to prepare a history of
the McLean County Medical Society, which is to be included in the
volume of history now being prepared by the McLean County Historical
Society.

Trusting that you will do us the honor to accept this invitation, I am,

Fraternally yours,

A. F. Kaeser, Secretary

Park Place 2460 3rd Street, Louisville, Ky.
November 1, 1904

To the McLean County Medical Society, Bloomington, III.:

Dear Doctors: — In accordance with your request of April 7, 1904,
I have the honor to report the following condensed history of the or-
ganization of the McLean County Medical Society, with a short
biographical sketch of each member, also a brief history of the physi-
cians who located in Bloomington prior to said organization.

The records of the society having been destroyed by the conflagration
of 1900, I have been at great loss for specific data regarding many
members.

I feel under lasting obligations to Drs. Lee Smith, F. H. Godfrey
and F. J. Welch for their invaluable assistance in collecting necessary
material.

Fraternally yours,

Charles R. Parke, M. D.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

Soon after the organization of McLean County — December 25,
1830 — Dr. John Anderson came to Bloomington (1833) from Kentucky.
He was of splendid character, and devoted to his profession. He did a
great deal of hard work in the newly-settled county and died from over-
exertion during a very sickly season, about the year 1844, lamented by
the whole community, leaving an only child, the wife of our townsman,
J. H. Cheney.

Next came Dr. Thomas H. Haines from Ohio, who entered into
partnership with Dr. Anderson, devoting all his energy to the arduous
duties of his profession, and who also died in a sickly season from the
extra labor he was called upon to perform; honored and loved by the
entire community.

Dr. J. F. Henry was another of the pioneer physicians of Bloom-
ington. He also was a Kentuckian, and an ex-congressman. He located
in Bloomington in 1835, coming directly from Cincinnati, where he
served some time in the Ohio Medical College. He remained in Bloom-
ington about ten (10) years, acquiring an extensive practice. In 1846 he
moved to Burlington, Iowa, where he established a large practice, and
where he died in 1873, full of years and honors.

About the year 1836, Dr. David Wheeler came from New York and
located in Bloomington. He continued in active practice until 1848,
when he moved to Waynesville, Illinois, where he died at the ripe old
age of 89 years, honored by all who knew him.

Next came Dr. Jarvis Gaylord, who practiced here about five (5)
years, when he moved to the northern part of the state.

About the year 1838, Dr. E. M. Colburn came to Bloomington from
Buffalo, N. Y., practiced about two (2) years, when he returned to
New York, came back in a year or two and about the year 1850 moved
to Peoria, 111., where from last accounts he was still practicing his
profession.

Dr. Garrett Elkins, who lived in Sangamon county, changed his
residence to Bloomington in 1845. In 1853 he moved to Iowa.

Most of the above history was vouched for by the late General A.
Gridley, who knew them all, having employed them in his family.

THE DOCTOR'S WIFE

A Toast Written cnid Presented by Huttie Morehouse Vandervort
at an Early Banquet of the McLean County Medical Society.

Years ago it was said, "It is not good for man to be alone," and
what is true of man in general is doubly true of the doctor in particular.

When the new fledged M. D. has finished his studies, chosen his
location, hung out his sign, and is waiting patiently - or impatiently
it may be as time goes on - for the patients so slow in coming, he has
time for thoughts on many subjects, and one is pretty sure to be that
of marriage. After a time of hotel boarding and office rooming he
begins to think of a partner of joys and sorrows, hopes and fears,
success and failure, a silent partner who would make a home for him
which would be a much happier place than the one in which he is now
living, and really, from a business point of view he readily persuades
himself, a doctor ought to be a family man.

Of course the women doctors are not in my subject as they do not
need wives.

Well, out of my experience and the fullness thereof, let me tell
what sort of a woman the young man should search for.

First, a woman of strong constitution - a doctor's wife must never
be sick. He has to hear of people's ailments till his whole head is sick
and his heart faint, and when he reaches his haven of rest, he must
find only smiles, pleasant themes, good cooking, quiet and peace.

He has been battling with the world's ills; at home he ought to
forget that there are any sick people and have a complete change. If
our subject lacks in constitution, then she must be the possessor of
double powers of endurance and make believe when nature gives out.

All this for the doctor's comfort and a great deal more for outside
appearances. No one thinks a doctor's wife has any right to be sick.
If she is, the immediate conclusion seems to be that he is a failure as
a doctor. Did any of you ladies ever by mistake speak of not feeling
well and be caught up by the incredulous look and the awful remark,
"And you a doctor's wife?"

Nerves of steel are also necessary. What would a nervous woman do
if she should see her husband start off driving a high mettled horse —
and after awhile see a man bring his medicine case, laprobe, cushion,
etc. and lay them over the fence and say nothing of the cause of all
this? This would be especially trying if there was a new baby by her
side, not yet a whole week old - but a doctor's wife must not be nervous.

He must visit all sorts of infectious and contagious diseases and
she must "get used to it" and "not worry."

Patience in large abundance must she possess; patience with herself
and her own short comings of which, if she is a true woman, no one
is more conscious than she; patience with the doctor, who will some-
times do imprudent things and foolish things just like any ordinary
man; patience with the patients who will many times annoy and per-

• 25-

plex her; and more than all with the people at large, who will fire
random shots at the doctor's wife they would not dare aim at him or
at any man.

Faith also is necessary. One of the hardest things I had to learn
was that doctors are not infallible. During my early years our old
family physician was held in such high regard in my father's family
that to send for the doctor meant sure and speedy relief, and as soon
as we saw him coming we felt better - both the sick and the well.

Love - more than all must she love the man who will henceforth
be her counselor, friend, companion, and family doctor.
No weakling girl, who would surrender will.
And life, and reason, with her loving heart
To her possessor; - no soft clinging thing
Who would find breath alone within the arms
Of a strong master, and obediently
Wait on his whims, in slavish carefulness; -
No fawning, cringing spaniel, to attend
His royal pleasure, and account herself
Rewarded by his pats and pretty words.
But a round woman, who, with insight keen
Had wrought a scheme of life, and measured well
Her womanhood; had spread before her feet
A fine philosophy to guide her steps;
Had won a faith to which her life was brought
In strict adjustment - brain and heart meanwhile
Working in conscious harmony and rhythm
With the great scheme of God's great universe.
On toward her being's end.
Thus a doctor of old describes his ideal woman, and if our young
friend can find such a one - or one capable of growth into such a one -
let him not fear to take her for better, for worse until death them
doth part.

Some women marry a man to get rid of him. They might well choose
a doctor. Invite in a company of friends for a social evening - the tele-
phone will be sure to ring, and the doctor must go five miles in the
country. Roads are bad, he gets back just in time to bid the guests
good-night. Attend a lecture. Doctor is called away; you may get home
the best way you can, alone or with some neighbor who happens to be
there.

Two of my most intimate friends are doctors' wives. One complains
bitterly of the "aloneness" for which she never planned, and that'her
husband's pocket book is about all she sees of him. The other with four
children does not have so much loneliness to complain of, but she longs
sometimes for a little more of her husband's society and time to keep
acquainted with him._

A lady told me the other evening, speaking of an old time physician
long since dead, that he always tried all his medicines on his wife first
before using them in his practice. Of course I said nothing, but I thought
of certain bottles on a shelf at home — marked "sample" and wondered
if I was a sample case.

Speaking of bottles. Oh dear! What a torment they are! There is
not a place in the house too sacred for these same bottles and if you
ever dispose of one, that is the very one needed next. All shapes and

-26-

sizes and colors are ever increasing and accumulating. I wish there was
a bottle man like the ragman, who would come and take them away.

Then there are the books, the magazines, the instruments, the medi-
cine cases; no matter if the house is small, she must find a place and
room for all. But the skeleton ! She must resolutely keep it out of the
house, and find not a nook or cranny in home or hearth in which to
stow even its shadow away.

When the doctor is sick, it's the hardest time in our lives. lie has
no faith in doctors - no faith in medicine - he will not stay in bed or
keep quiet - and when he is sick at all he is pretty sick. We will pass
lightly over this subject - it is too personal - and ask,

"Now what, for all this, do we wives get?" We bear their names,
we share their gains, and - this banquet!

PREFACE

Bloomington, Illinois, May 8, 1934

To The McLean County Medical Society:

Dear Doctors: Agreeable to your request, the committee consisting
of J. Whitefield Smith, A. W. Meyer, and J. H. Fenelon, appointed
to write a brief biographical sketch of the members of the McLear
County Medical Society whose names have been enrolled during the
past thirty (30) years, together with the names of other physicians and
surgeons who have practiced medicine in McLean County, who were
not members of the society, have the honor to present the following
report :

Thirty years ago (1904), Dr. Charles R. Parke, one of the McLean
County Medical Society's well known surgeons, who was a charter
member of the society, was asked to prepare a history of the organiza-
tion, and write a biographical sketch of its members, during the fifty
(50) years of its progress. Dr. Parke, though living in Louisville, Ky.
at the time, undertook the task with great earnestness, and fidelity of
purpose; and gave us a comprehensive and concise history of the
medical society, during the first half century of its existence. The
society will always be grateful and appreciative for this valuable service.

The report which is hereby submitted is the result of a persistent
effort to gather all the data available in order that we might continue
the history of the McLean County Medical Society over a period of
the last thirty (30) years to the present time (1934). We realize that
there are unavoidable errors and mistakes in this tabulation. However,
the committee has endeavored to fulfill its obligation, from the informa-
tion obtainable, at least, in an acceptable manner. We desire to thank
the members of the society and all of those who have assisted in the
collection of the data, for their cooperation which has, in a large
measure, made this history possible.

THE McLean county medical society

1854 - 1934

In the march of civilization, history records the
steps of our progress.

The history of the McLean County Medical Society is an interesting
chapter in the growth and development of the history of the county,
A quarter of a century before the organization of the Society, we find
the pioneer physicians, true to the spirit of their profession, striving
to protect the lives, the health, and the happiness of the early settlers.
Not only this, but we find them assisting in the various organizations
of the local government, and engaged in the development of the insti-
tutional life of the community.

The lives of the pioneer physicians were characterized by a rugged
simplicity, a resolute spirit, and an untiring energy. These men were
courageous, chivalrous, resourceful. They were men of sterling qualities.
It is not a matter of wonder or surprise that the McLean County
Medical Society, born of such lives and characters, should occupy such
an important place in the history of the county during the past years.
Such was its heritage. The spirit of the pioneer physicians has been
impressed on the medical profession of this county for at least three
generations.

Since the organization of the society in the spring of 1854, its
members have kept pace with the progress of medicine and surgery.
The growth of the society has been contemporaneous with the great
discoveries in medical science for nearly a century. The McLean County
Medical Society has been honored many times by the capable services
of its members; not alone for their professional qualifications, but for
the public services its members have rendered the county, state, and
nation. Some have served in the State Legislature; one has been ap-
pointed United States Consul; many have served as presidents of the
Illinois State Medical Society; others were superintendents, or chief
medical directors in a number of our state institutions; while others
have held official positions on the State Board of Health.

As we look backward, we behold a galaxy of distinguished men
and women of this society upholding the banners of the profession.
We see the chaplets of their victories, the garlands of their triumphs,
the laurels of their achievements. They have served their day and gen-
eration. We cherish their memory, and desire to perpetuate their names
in the records of this brief history. And, as we look forward, we see
their mantles falling upon a group of younger physicians; for we take
up our work where others have labored and toiled — we lay it down
for another to take up. The continued progress and success of the
McLean County Medical Society will be determined, largely, by its
heritage from the past, and by the attainments of its physicians and
surgeons of today. When another chapter of its history is written, it
will be of more interest and value, because of the larger opportunities,
the greater accomplishments, and the grander achievements that will
be made in the future, which appear already on the horizon of the
present day.

THE EIGHTIETH ANNIVERSARY AND BANQUET

The McLean County Medical Society

May Eighth

1934

Thirty years ago, the McLean County Medical Society celebrated
its "Golden Jubilee" (April 7, 1904). This evening (May 8, 1934) the
Society gathered into the banquet hall of the Illinois Hotel on a similar
occasion. The Doctors at that time were accompanied by their wives and
a number of friends, and after the banquet an interesting program was
furnished by the entertainment committee.

On this event, the eightieth anniversary of the Society, the Doctors,
their wives, and invited guests enjoyed the entertainment and the
banquet which was served at the Illinois Hotel. The banquet room was
beautifully decorated for the occasion. Frequent reference was made
to the Golden Jubilee many years ago —

"O years gone doivn into the jxist,
what pleasant memories come to me."

Dr. James C. McNutt, president of the McLean County Medical
Society, acted as toastmaster. After a short business session, he intro-
duced several of the members of the Society, who spoke in an interesting
manner on the object, the work, and the achievements of the Society.

The honor guest and principal speaker of the evening was Dr.
Logan Clendening of Kansas City, Missouri.

Not all of the members of the Society were present at this anni-
versary: the names of all the members of the Society are printed below,
in order to keep a record of the membership at this time (1934).

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL
Bloomlngfon, Illinois

In the founding of St. Joseph's Hospital, a large measure of credit
is due the Rev. Father Schreiber, pastor of the St. Mary's Church.
At his suggestion in 1879 the Rev. Mother Frances of St. Francis
Hospital of Peoria visited Bloomington vi^ith the view of establishing
a Branch Hospital here.

Dr. John Sweeney and Dr. Chas. Parke were then consulted in
reference to the undertaking, and agreed to lend assistance. Dr. Sweeney,
in company with Sisters and friends of the order, later made a house
to house canvass of Bloomington and succeeded in obtaining sufficient
funds to make the first payment on the property where the hospital is
located. This property is a 7-acre tract near the center of which stood
the Waddell home, an old brick mansion, and here the St. Joseph
Hospital started on its long and successful career on the 22nd day of
March, 1880.

The institution was incorporated at once, and its ownership and
control was vested in the Mother Superior of Third Order of St. Francis
of Peoria and her successors in office. Neither man nor church have the
authority to interfere with her in her vested rights.

Now, four Sisters were placed in charge of the institution and they
selected Dr. Parke to organize a staff. He appointed Dr. A. H. Luce,
Dr. John Sweeney, Dr. T. F. Worrell, Dr. William Elder, Dr. R. Wun-
derlich, and Dr. Lee Smith as members of the first staff.

In 1883 it became necessary to add more space, and a new building
was constructed in connection with the old structure, which then became
the residence and chapel for the Sisters.

In 1888 a substantial addition was built, and the following year
a new chapel added at an expense of $10,000. Having entirely out-
grown the quarters, in 1908 the large east wing was added to the
building, and in 1920 it was necessary to add a west wing still larger.

The hospital as it now stands has a capacity of over 300 beds. It
is strictly modern, the rooms are attractively furnished, and the equip-
ment is the very best including up to date laboratories, diet kitchens,
x-ray, hydrotherapy, and electrotherapy. The operating rooms are of
the highest order, and thei-e are delivery rooms and special obstetric
department. A special ward for children and sun parlors are provided,
and a fully equipped Psychopathic ward.

In 1926 a handsome three-story nurses' home was built to house
the Nurses' Training School which was established in 1921. This insti-
tution has graduated 93 nurses, and has a capacity of 60 beds.

The St. Joseph's Hospital does not discriminate in taking patients.
All races and creeds, the rich and poor alike, find its doors open to them
if they are sick and afflicted. Its charity is without ostentation. More
than 12% of its patients have been treated entirely on charity, and
many more on part charity. Countless meals have been given to the
hungry poor — none are ever turned from the door.

THE BROKAW HOSPITAL
Normal, Illinois

The Brokaw Hospital got its initial start from some members of
the McLean County Medical Society. In the fall of 1894 and the spring
of 1895 a group of medical men met to consider the question of a new
hospital. After a great deal of discussion, five doctors resolved to con-
tinue in this new enterprise, and each subscribed five hundred dollars
($500.00) as a starting fund for the purpose of purchasing ground,
buildings, and equipment. These men were Dr. J. L. White, Dr. D. H.
Nusbaum, Dr. M. D. Hull, Dr. C. M. Noble, and Dr. Ernest Mammen.

The first consideration was to secure a desirable site or location,
provide the necessary buildings, and furnish the proper equipment. The
next procedure was to obtain a suitable management for conducting
the affairs of this hospital. After much investigation, the present
location was acquired from Mr. Henry Danforth of Washington, Hlinois,
for a consideration of six thousand dollars ($6,000.00). The above
mentioned doctors having secured the contract, Mr. Paul Moratz, archi-
tect, drew sketches and plans for the buildings.

The original building was completed and opened for patients in
1896. It was under the management of the Mennonite Deaconess Nurses
with Rev. John A. Sprunger in charge. It continued under this manage-
ment until August, 1897, when it was taken over by the Methodist
Episcopal Deaconess society of Chicago, and operated until the year
1901. At this time the name of the hospital was changed to Brokaw
Hospital.

Mr. Abraham Brokaw and his wife became interested in the hos-
pital in 1901, and contributed considerable financial aid. In 1903 he
placed a fund of $30,000.00 at the disposal of three trustees for the
benefit of the hospital, and later provided in his will a further endow-
ment of $100,000.00 and 320 acres of valuable farm lands. The several
bequests made by him to the hospital have aggregated more than
$200,000.00. Mr. Brokaw died in 1905.

In January, 1902, the directors of Brokaw Hospital established a
training school for nurses, incorporated under the title of the Brokaw
Hospital School for Nurses. This school offers to women desirous of
becoming professional nurses, a course of practical and theoretical in-
struction. The curriculum provide a three-years' course which fully
meets the requirements of the State Registration Board of Nurses.
The training school is under the efficient management of its superin-
tendent, Miss Maude F. Essig. Miss Macie N. Knapp has been the
general superintendent of the hospital for the past ten years, and
under her capable inanagement and skillful direction, the hospital has
shown great progress in realizing its ideal of usefulness and service.

The location comprises eight acres of rolling ground with a beautiful
campus, delightful terraces, walks and gardens. There are three build-
ings with a capacity of one hundred and one hospital beds. In 1909 a

-84-

separate building was erected for a nurses' home which provides for
the needs and recreation of the nurses when not on duty. The average
number in the Training School for Nurses is about thirty-five. The
staff of physicians and surgeons number twenty-six. The staff holds
regular meetings to discuss clinical and scientific matters of interest
to its members, and of benefit tO' the hospital. Brokaw Hospital shares
with the hospitals of Bloomington and Normal a public service of in-
estimable value, not alone to the citizens of the cities in which they are
located, but also to the large groups of individuals of adjoining com-
munities.

THE MENNONITE HOSPITAL
Bloomlngton, Illinois

The Mennonite Hospital Association was incorporated in January,

1919. Its organization was the actual expression of the general religious
conviction that ministering to the physically ill, whether rich or poor
and regardless of creed, is an important function of the church.

As early as 1893 there was in many Mennonite churches intense
interest in this humanitarian endeavor, and under the leadership of
Rev. John A. Sprunger they assisted materially in the organization of
the Mennonite Deaconess Hospital. The Mennonite groups, however,
were scattered and with no organization to hold them together, their
activities but not their interest soon languished. Interest in this work
grew and resulted in an informal meeting early in the summer of 1918
of representatives of a number of the churches for the discussion of the
advisability of the church establishing a Mennonite Hospital. The interest
in the proposal was so encouraging that other meetings followed, and
the Mennonite Hospital Association with representatives from Mennonite
churches was formed. The first officers were: Rev. E. Troyer, Presi-
dent; Rev. J. H. King, Secretary; and John Kinsinger, Treasurer. The
next January the organization was incorporated. The first board of
directors was as follows: Rev. E. Troyer, Rev. J. H. King, Rev. Allen
Miller, and Rev. Benjamin Rupp.

The first officers in charge of the hospital were in addition to the
above named President and Secretary: Rev. B. Rupp, Superintendent;
Miss Florence Burgess, Superintendent of Nurses; and Mrs. Mollie
Flint, Surgical Supervisor.

The standing of the local medical profession and the co-operative
attitude of prominent physicians was the decisive factor in influencing
•the Association to decide to establish the proposed hospital in Bloom-
lngton. The John Harber property at 1308 N. Main Street was purchased
and plans were prepared for the construction of a new building on the
large lot. It was decided to make a very modest beginning in the large
three story house already on the lot. This three story residence was
remodeled, and a medical staff with Dr. E. P. Sloan as chief of staff was
organized and nurses were secured.

The first patients were admitted for treatment on May 1, 1919.
An urgent need for more room was almost at once evident. In January
of the next year the Association, instead of building a new building,
purchased the building and equipment known as the Kelso Sanitarium
at 807 N. Main Sti*eet. Again the facilities for service were found to
be inadequate, and a movement was inaugurated to replace the frame
building with a modern fireproof building of larger proportions. In
January, 1932, a new wing of the hospital was opened and the capacity
of the hospital was increased to seventy-eight.

An accredited Nurses' Training School has been maintained since

1920. One hundred and nine nurses have been graduated, and of these
twenty-eight have occupied executive positions in hospitals since their
graduation.

-86-

Since the first year, when only fifty patients were cared for, there
have been more than fifteen thousand cases admitted for treatment,
and nine thousand operations performed. The medical staff through its
organization has contributed largely to the development of the hospital
program and now has a membership of forty-three practicing physicians.

FAIRVIEW SANATORIUM
Normal, Illinois

At the beginning of this century the results of bacteriological
studies were expressed by better treatment of tuberculosis cases. To get
cooperation among the people a great deal of education was necessary.

The trained nurse was a product mainly of the demand for carrying
out modern discoveries in medicine. At that time the white plague was
everywhere. It took a toll of one hundred and eighteen people in this
county one year. This fact was used as an argument for the establish-
ment of a sanatorium, for it had become evident that tuberculosis
patients could not be successfully treated except in an institution. There
was no unanimity as to how this could be brought about. The state had
passed no law enabling counties to maintain sanatoria, so to get action
on the part of the people fundamental education was necessary.

There existed in this city an Anti-tuberculosis Association. This
association purchased a tent which would seat about seventy-five people.
Ten of our doctors united in giving lectures to the people in this tent.
It was set up in the southeast part of the city for one week, during
which doctors lectured every evening on the diagnosis and treatment
of tuberculosis.

Mr. Edmund O'Connell was engaged to secure a law which would
authorize counties to raise money, purchase grounds, and to build sana-
toria. He was posted in legislative matters, and soon the legislature
passed a proper bill giving us a law under which we are now working.
Then it was necessary to get a vote of the people in favor of a sanato-
rium for this county. Urging this on, the names of Doctors J. B. Taylor,
W. H. Gardner, F.H. Godfrey, E. Mammen, and T. D. Cantrell appear
as very active in trying to influence the votes of the supervisors appear-
ing before them at different times. Finally the supervisors voted on the
question and defeated it. The doctors continued to carry on the propa-
ganda by lectures in school houses, in churches, and otherwise.

The first vote was taken about 1908. The vote of the people authoriz-
ing the supervisors to favor the establishment of a sanatorium was taken
March 7, 1910. In the resolutions passed by the supervisors occurs this
sentence: "There is no question of the need of a tuberculosis sanatorium
for the use of the people of this county, and, although we deplore the
necessity, it is our duty to see the situation as it really is, and to
establish a sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis."

A committee was then appointed as the law provided, and Doctor
C. M. Noble, member of the McLean County Medical Society, was made
a member of that committee.

The supervisors decided to purchase, in March, 1917, forty acres
lying northwest of Normal for fifteen thousand dollars, and proceeded
to erect a building properly adapted to the methods of treatment neces-
sary for the cure of tuberculosis. This was an institution at which all
legal residents of McLean County were entitled to receive treatment
free of charge.

We have now had it in operation about a quarter of a century. It
has cost something, but the money spent is a trifle compared to the
results attained. The death rate which was 118 per annum has been
reduced to 34 for 1933, so that many lives have been saved and many
others made happier by treatment.

The Fairview Sanatorium has proven to be the best investment
McLean County ever made for the benefit of its people's health.

PREFACE

Bloomington, Illinois - January, 1954

To the McLean County Medical Society

Dear Doctors:

To carry on the work ah'eady compiled by foi-mer committees, the
present committee which includes Dr. Fred W. Brian, Dr. Robert G.
Price, and Dr. Howard P. Sloan, presents to you the One Hundredth
Anniversary Edition of the History of the McLean County Medical
Society. The original history of 1904 and the second volume published
in 1934 compose the first two parts in the present edition. To these
have been added the historical record of the past twenty years, 1934-
1954, thus forming a continuous hundred years' history of the Society.

A number of doctors, whose biographical sketches appeared in the
1934 edition, are still practicing at the present time. Their biographies
have been brought up-to-date and incorporated in the 1954 edition.

In an intricate history of this kind, errors may occur, but we trust
that the information we present herewith has been, on the whole,
accurately tabulated from the material we have gathered. We wish to
thank all the individual members of the Society who have helped in
furnishing the data from which this history has been compiled.

Our McLean County doctors of today have traveled a long way in
the knowledge of medicine and the art of healing since the pioneer
doctor of a hundred years ago. One wonders if the doctors of one
hundred years hence will consider the doctors of today as pioneers also
in the long history of medical research.

HISTORICAL SKETCH

Now one hundred years encompass the McLean County Medical
Society. For an entire century the welfare- and health of the men,
women, and children of this community have been in the hands of the
members of this Society, and it is inspiring to read in this new bio-
graphical history of the lives of those who dedicated themselves to this
honored profession of healing.

Everyone reveres the memory of the pioneer doctor with his devo-
tion to duty. Even though the science of medicine was within its cradle-
of-being during his lifetime, his courageous character and his spiritual
longing to heal was deathless, or should we say, that only death could
interrupt his profession?

Following the pioneer doctor and further along in the advance of
medicinal science appears the "doctor of the old school." Ignorance is
still to the fore, but great scientific discoveries as exemplified by the
names of Pasteur, Liston, and later Osier, are just on the horizon.
The doctors of this era were conscious of their incompetence, but their
sense of dedication to the task of developing future revelations in the
field of medicine was still abiding.

In our own time we remember the doctor of the early 1900's. A
list of prominent names in our Society during the first decade of the
1900's bring to our memory Drs. C. E. Chapin, F. C. Vandervort,
J. W. Smith, R. A. Noble, A. L. Fox, F. H. Godfrey, O. M. Rhodes,
Ernest Mammen, W. H. Gardner, J. K. P. Hawks, E. B. Hart, E. P.
Sloan, L. B. Gavins, F. C. McCormick, and A. W. Meyer. All have passed
on, leaving an enviable record of their ability and the excellent work
they accomplished.

The First World War found many McLean County doctors in its
ranks. The following saw active service in the army, navy, and sea
duty: Drs. Harry Howell, R. A. Noble, Wilfred Gardner, A. E. Rogers,
T. D. Cantrell, J. K. P. Hawks, L. B. Gavins, Frank Sayers, Fred W.
Brian, F. C. Vandervort, G. H. Galford, W. W. Gailey, L. L. Irwin,
E. A. Behrendt, A. J. Casner, J. L. Yolton, H. W. Elder, W. L. Penni-
man, D. D. Raber, A. R. Freeman, Paul Greenleaf, C. E. Shultz, Frank
Deneen. Several others remained at home to serve on the Board of
Examiners.

Not only on the war front but on the home front were the doctors
selflessly on guard against disease and death. The influenza epidemic
of this period was most severe and the remaining physicians did a
heroic job administering their services to the afflicted.

The chapter on public health is a courageous one. Each innovation
meant the long, tiring attempt by the medical profession to educate
the public and their representatives in the legislature and in the city
government to bring about the reforms that would protect present and
future generations. Long quarantine laws for small pox, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, and fumigation methods of those days have all passed by,
so that today with immunization procedures routinely given to young
children, these diseases plus whooping cough and tetanus, have almost

-95-

been eradicated. The young physician today rarely has the oppoi-tunity
to see such cases. Poliomyelitis, measles, chicken pox, and mumps now
remain as the major problems for the health department.

The concluding paragraph in the 1934 historical sketch in this book
was prophetic. The young doctors of 1934 are the older doctors of today.
The "larger opportunities, the greater accomplishments, the grander
achievements" which those sentences foretell, did indeed come to pass,
and it is the younger doctors of that day who helped to bring them to
fulfillment. Here in McLean County today are physicians and surgeons
who have achieved greatly; a few are world renowned. All have taken
full advantage of their inheritance and have kept faith with their
pioneer predecessors.

How far they have traveled! From "two courses of lectures of five
months each" and a "reading knowledge of the English language" the
present day doctor must have four years of college preparation, four
years of medical school, besides a year of internship. Thus the medical
road of the modern doctor, though in a different fashion, is as rugged,
perhaps, as that of the pioneer. Even though he does not die of over-
exhaustion in fighting the elements just to reach his patients, look at
the number of modern physicians who succumb to heart attacks. The
physician's life is a dedicated one, despite its hardships.

And now, indeed, the world of medical science has grown up. In
one hundred years we have passed from cough medicine to the iron
lung. Poliomyelitis, especially, in the acute stage, is far from being
conquered. A wooden respirator made by the employes of the Eureka
Williams Company in Bloomington has saved the lives of many through-
out the world. "Popular Mechanics" magazine, the National Junior
Chamber of Commerce, together with modern television carried on the
publicity internationally, giving Bloomington and St. Joseph's Hospital
credit for such an emergency instrument. Bloomington also was made
one of the downstate Polio centers for treatment and management of
the acute cases, and for the monthly out patient clinics under the
Division of Services for Crippled Children of the University of Illinois.
A cerebral palsy treatment and education unit in conjunction with the
Illinois State Normal University has been in action at the St. Joseph's
Hospital since 1951. Federal and state funds were received to help
build a new wing to the Pediatric Department at St. Joseph's Hospital
to be used for the cerebral palsy unit. The Special Education Depart-
ment of the Illinois State Normal University with its new building has
aided tremendously the problem of education of the handicapped child.
Bloomington and McLean County are most fortunate to have such a
renowned school in its midst.

The older doctors of yesterday could never imagine the changes in
the type of practice the young man sees today. Mastoid, surgery, em-
pyema of the lungs, abdominal infections, pneumonia, meningitis, acute
upper respiratory infections, and typhoid fever under treatment with
the wonder drugs of today are diseases cured and the patient home
from the hospital in a matter of seven to ten days or less, with rarely
any remaining complications. Sulfa drugs in 1936, penicillin in 1944,
aureomycin, terramycin, Chloromycetin, dihydrostreptomycin and others
too numerous to mention, with many in the making, will no doubt con-
tinue to save many lives while at the same time these are being replaced
by more valuable ones. Malaria and tuberculosis are also almost com-
pletely under control.

-96-

Hormones such as ACTH and cortisone have changed entirely the
field of arthritis, rheumatic fever and allergy. What these fields alone
have in store for us no one actually would dare to predict. Atomic
medicine is in its mere infancy and seems a dream too fantastic to
realize now.

Yet psychiatry and its branches bring untold and unpredicted prob-
lems still unconquered. In other words, medical science seems to have
passed what the human mind can control. The physicians of tomorrow
have an enviable yet worrisome world ahead of them which will still
require training and the diligent and honest work of each and every
one. Specialized medicine, we hope, will still remain conquered. To
lose the personal contact and confidence of the patient and doctor re-
lationship, one can't help but feel, would be disastrous.

Who knows what wonders the next one hundred years will bring?
The young doctors of yesterday, who are the older doctors of today,
again spread their mantle over a group of young physicians who are
just starting on their life's work. They will carry on the achievements
that a century of McLean county doctors have fostered to this day.
They will become the physicians and surgeons of tomorrow. The future
is unpredictable. From now on, another history, no doubt, should never
go past a ten year period.

WOMAN'S AUXILIARY

of the
McLEAN COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

In 1927 the Illinois State Medical Society decided that a Woman's
Auxiliary would be desirable. The organization was completed, and Mrs.
G. Henry Mundt, wife of the president of the State Medical Society,
was chosen as president of the new organization. Dr. Harold M. Camp,
secretary of the State Medical Society, sent a letter to the secretaries
of the various county societies asking that the medical societies organize
the women in the counties.

Acting upon that suggestion. Dr. Ralph P. Peairs, secretary of the
McLean County Medical Society, brought the matter before the local
medical society. The medical society approved the plan and authorized
Dr. Frank Deneen, the president, and Dr. Peairs, the secretary, to
invite the wives of the physicians to a luncheon for the purpose of
forming an auxiliary. About twenty-five ladies responded and attended
the luncheon which was held at the Y. W. C. A. in September, 1927.
Mrs. Mundt, the state president, and Miss Jean McArthur, secretary of
the educational committee of the State Medical Society, attended the
meeting and were instrumental in organizing the McLean County Med-
ical Society Auxiliary. McLean county was the first county in Hlinois
to form such an auxiliary,

A nominating committee was selected and reported at a later meet-
ing. Mrs. Myra S. Peairs was elected as the president of the group. The
women were active as delegates to the state and county meetings, sold
the health magazine "Hygeia" and had many interesting speakers for
their monthly programs. The organization continued until 1940, when
it disbanded.

The present auxiliary was formed in May, 1949, with an advisory
committee from the McLean County Medical Society present, and ap-
proving the action. The group's main project has been the establishment
of Student Nurse Loan Funds available to students in St. Joseph's,
Mennonite, and Brokaw Hospitals' schools of nursing.

The members of the Auxiliary have continued to sell a health
publication "Today's Health"; assist once a month at the immunization
clinic at Raymond School; keep informed of current legislation affecting
the medical profession through the A. M. A. newsletters; and contribute
financially to the Crippled Children's Camp held each summer, and to the
State Benevolence Fund. The monthly meetings of the Auxiliary during
1954 will be centered around the National Auxiliary's program theme —
"'Know Your Community."

The officers of the Auxiliary elected May 3, 1^49, at the time of the
reorganization were: President, Mrs. Eugene Taylor; vice-president,
Mrs. Edwin Rypins; secretary, Mrs. Gordon Shultz; treasurer, Mrs.
George France. Present officers of 1954 are: President, Mrs. Stanley
Nord; president-elect, Mrs. Harold Shinall; vice-president, Mrs. J. L.
Bailen; secretary, Mrs. Preston Houk; treasurer, Mrs. John France.

MENNONITE HOSPITAL EYE BANK

Established by
The Watson Galley Eye Foundation

The Watson Gailey Eye Foundation was established by Dr. Watson
Gailey of the Gailey Eye Clinic in 1948 as a non-profit organization
having for its purpose the channeling of funds into the organization for
improving the quality of ophthalmology; the education of the blind and
partially blind; the education of teachers who wish to take up their
profession as instructors for partially-sighted children; the education of
deserving medical students, most particularly those who are taking up
ophthalmology as their life work; the sponsoring under the direction
of the McLean County Health Department of the first free eye clinic
for indigent families whose childi'en need glasses and eye care (the clinic
being in operation two years) ; and the establishment of an Eye Bank
for the purpose of furnishing human eyes for transplant operations to
ophthalmological surgeons throughout our state for the purpose of sight
restoration.

The date, August 7, 1952, marked an epoch in ophthalmological
surgery in Bloomington, Illinois. The first operation for corneal trans-
plant, which was done in downstate Illinois, was performed on this
date at the Mennonite Hospital by Albert C. Frell, M. D., a member
of the Gailey Eye Clinic staff. The eye was furnished by the Foundation
Eye Bank.

The Eye Bank is now in its second year of operation. Up to the
present time, ten of these corneal transplants have been operated upon.
The results laave been quite gratifying and the visual improvement has
been considerable in each instance. The donor eye has been obtained
from several sources, viz: The Buffalo, New York Eye Bank, The
Chicago Eye Bank under the management of the Illinois Society for
the Prevention of Blindness, and from Bloomington physicians who have
convinced the family of the deceased person that it would be a wonder-
fully generous gesture to permit the donor's eyes to be enucleated
within two hours following death.

The eyes from Buffalo are flown to Peoria by the Eastern Air-
lines where the container is picked up by the local Red Cross and
delivered to the Eye Bank at Mennonite Hospital. All of this excellent
service is done without charge, through the generosity of the president
of Eastern Airlines - Mr. Eddie Rickenbacker.

At the present time the patient waiting list who would be benefitted
by the corneal transplant is considerably in excess of twenty.

Unquestionably this surgical procedure bids fair toward becoming
more and more an instrument in returning sight to thousands of cases
throughout th« states, when more surgeons learn this technique.

MEMORIAL LIBRARY

OF THE

McLEAN COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY

The Memorial Library is located in a pleasant room on the base-
ment floor of the new annex to the Mennonite Hospital. The room is
equipped with glass enclosed bookcases, an enclosed built-in file case
for medical journals, a long reading table, and ten large arm chairs
upholstered in red leather.

For many years the collection of books owned by the medical
society was housed in the Withers Public Library. On February 8, 1937,
at the regular meeting of the society, a motion was made and duly
seconded and carried that the medical books belonging to the society
be transferred from the Withers Public Library to a room in the Illinois
Wesleyan University where they would be catalogued and accessible to
any member of the society. Shortly after this the library became inactive.

On June 10, 1947, during the meeting of the society. Dr. A. E.
Livingston made a motion that a county medical library be established
at Mennonite Hospital. Dr. E. M. Stevenson moved that the library be
called the Memorial Library. The library was created at this time
through the generous contributions of individual members of the medical
society.

The present collection of books consists of year books on different
medical subjects; many files of medical journals; about two hundred
fifty new and standard books on medical science; and a complete series
of "The Index Medicus" (Quarterly Cumulative Index of the A.M.D.).
On November 14, 1950, the McLean County Medical Society moved
that an annual budget of $250.00 be allowed for the maintenance of the
Memorial Library. Many of the volumes are donated in memory of
deceased members of the society, and members of the community at
large.

Dr. A. Edward Livingston has been chairman of the Library
Committee since its creation in 1947. The committee selects new books,
either through direct suggestions by medical society members or through
knowledge of current publications. Books and non-current journals may
be taken out of the library by society members provided they sign a
card of information.

The Library Committee encourages donations to the library, espe-
cially in memory of former members, but also of any one who might
have appreciated such a memorial.

ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL. 1934 - 1954

Historical Sketch

Following the completion and occupation of the Nurses' Residence
in January of 1929, no major construction was undertaken for the next
two decades. Rather, the twenty years of the '30's and '40's were devoted
to improving present facilities.

A number of steps have been taken to facilitate patient care and
nursing service. In 1939 the private duty nurses adopted the eight hour
day. During the war years nursing service took on new importance
which it has not. relinquished. The training of the large nurse cadet
corps in 1944; refresher courses conducted for graduate nurses; training
of volunteer nurse aides and the Gray Ladies; all were instituted as a
part of the war program.

In 1939, St. Joseph's Hospital along with other hospitals was desig-
nated a depository for the "new wonder drug" penicillin. Fourteen
years later, gamma globulin was the scarce drug and slated for careful
distribution.

With the gradual return of our doctors from military to civilian
status, the hospital was able to develop departments long marked for
progress. In 1946, the Radiology service consisted of two sisters, one
of whom was a registered technician, one student technician, and a part
time secretary. A total of 4,426 procedures of which some 3,385 were
X-rays, 363 fluoroscopes, and 678 X-ray treatments was the record.
Today, under the department's present direction, a staff headed by a
radiologist has two registered technicians, four student technicians, and
a full time secretary. They do some 9,724 procedures — 6,679 X-rays,
825 fluoroscopes, 2,220 treatments. The out patient department has
tripled in seven years. The service was recently expanded to occupy
five rooms on the second floor of the hospital. Equipment includes G. E.
X-ray for diagnosis and treatment, a motor driven radiological table,
a spot film device attached to the fluoroscope. The cystoscopic room
has been equipped with the latest model table. St. Joseph's Hospital,
Department of Radiology, received authorization from the United States
Atomic Energy Commission for the procurement of radio active isotopes
on May 25, 1953. This authorization applies to the use of Iodine 131
for the diagnosis of thyroid function.

Paralleling the development of the Radiological Department is that
of the Pathological Laboratory. In 1946 the present director established
the blood bank, the first such depository in this section of the state.
Through the years, the laboratory has grown not only in size but also
in skills. In 1943 routine tissue examinations were first started. From
an average of 1000 tests per month at its inception, the laboratory now
does 10,000. In the eight years the school for technicians has been in
existance, fifty students have been graduated. These students are work-
ing in the other hospitals of the community as well as some of the
doctors' clinics of the two towns. The laboratory now occupies the south
wing on A floor of the hospital, in rooms recently redecorated and with

-105-

106

equipment comparable to that of larger laboratories. Probably the out-
standing feature of the laboratory is the excellent quality of the bio-
chemistry section.

St. Joseph's Hospital's registered pharmacist, Sister M. Veneranda,
has, during her nine years' tenui'e, planned and carried out the refitting
of the drug room with modern cases, sink, and proper refrigeration for
the storage and distribution of drugs.

In 1946 the polio ward was established. Standard equipment consists
of two iron lungs, a portable respii'ator and the famous wooden lung,
the Eui'eka-Williams model, built in a single night by men of the factory
for use during the 1949 epidemic. This "lung" has had wide publicity.
It was approved by the Council on Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
An article on its use appeared in the February 17, 1951 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association. Specifications for its con-
struction have appeared in national magazines. This department in
cooperation with the physical therapy department has helped many post
polio patients back to normal living.

The physical therapy department occupies the entire west side of
the south wing on 100 floor. It is strategically situated adjacent to the
polio ward. Under the direction of a qualified registered physical ther-
apist, the department cares for referral cases as well as post polio,
cerebral palsy, and orthopedic cases. The department has the usual
electro and hydro therapy machines as well as the Hubbard tank.

Late in 1949, and 1950 the hospital chapel was remodeled, redeco-
rated, and refurnished. The rededication service was held in March of
1950. This achievement, under the administration of Sister M. Celine
was a proud accomplishment for all the Sisters of the St. Francis
community.

Along with other hospitals of Bloomington-Normal in 1951, St. Jo-
seph's -Hospital undertook the reorganization of its staff to conform to
the standards of the American College of Surgeons. As a result of this
effort the hospital has full approval of the American College of Surgeons
and is also approved by the American Medical Association and the
American Hospital Association of Chicago.

The spring of 1951 also marked the organization of the hospital's
first Woman's Auxiliary, The organization chose for its project the
Cerebral palsy unit and subsequently has been very active in raising
funds. A gift shop is maintained off the reception room at the hospital,
the proceeds going to the Cerebral Palsy fund.

In January, 1952, the Cerebral Palsy Unit was officially opened
with temporary quarters on 500 floor. This department, third of its
kind in the state, is under the direction of the Department of Welfare
of the State of Illinois and of the Special Education Department of
I. S. N. U. It is devoted to the rehabilitation of educable Cerebral Palsy
children. The department is gradually building up the necessary ortho-
pedic, physical, and occupational therapy equipment so essential for
treatment in cases of this type. The department will be permanently
housed in the new building in the fall of 1953.

In the early part of 1953 the Doctors' lounge was moved across the
hall to the front of the building permitting their old quarters to be added
to the Record Library. With Sister Cyriaca, registered medical librarian,
and a staff of four typists, the record library now handles dictation

-107-

from phone connections at strategic stations throughout the hospital.
These larger quarters provide ample space for the filing systems.

It has long been the policy of St. Joseph's Hospital to keep the
hospital efficient by adding new equipment. This necessitates constant
changes and long range planning. New O.B. and O.R. tables, incubator;
washers and dryers for the laundry; kitchens and diet therapy quarters
renovated; conversion of the heating unit from coal to oil burners;
incinerator, sprinkler system, and electrical changes are some of these.
In 1953 the hospital was partially rewired and a new electrical panel
and substation installed. The hospital contains two hundred thirty-five
beds plus thirty beds in the new addition.

In July, 1952, a new service was created, that of public health co-
ordinator. This is a direct effort for follow up care of the patient. In
this connection a series of expectant parents' classes and pre-natal
clinics are conducted.

The new wing of the hospital, extending north west from the present
west section is scheduled for completion in 1953. This unit devoted to
convalescent patients will also house the Cerebral Palsy Department
and Crippled Children's Clinic. Modern in every respect, with piped
oxygen, solarium, and furnishings it is planned to accommodate twenty-
eight patients. When the move is accomplished, hospital authorities
look forward to the expansion of the present Pediatric Department.

The School of Nursing, a vital part of the hospital program, has
been under the leadership of only two directors in the past twenty
years. Sister M. Theddea served from 1933 - 1939. During this period
Sodality and Student-Faculty government were formed. Dramatics and
the student newspaper were activities of the school. Sister M. Loyola,
1939 to date, has seen marked progress in nursing education. The school
is now listed in the temporarily approved list 1953 by the National
Accreditation Agency. The school has had affiliation with DePaul Uni-
versity of Chicago, Peoria State Hospital for psychiatry, and Illinois
State Normal University for physical and biological sciences. In recent
years the school and community have been more closely united under the
Nursing School Committee.

All of these developments during the past twenty years have taken
place under the guidance of four administrators; Sister M. Cecelia,
1936-1942; Sister M. Brigitta, 1942-1945; Sister M. Celine, 1945-1951,
and the present Superior Sister M. Bonaventura, 1951 - to date.

BROKAW HOSPITAL. 1934 - 1954

Historical Sketch

Brokaw Hospital's efforts in behalf of the ill and hurt of the
community have continued since 1895, and recent decades have per-
mitted its building expansion program to materialize in a real way.
Progress has also been made in accreditation with the American College
of Surgeons. The year 1936 was the first year when full approval by
this group was given. Brokaw Hospital has had full approval since
that date, the medical staff being reorganized in 1947 to conform with
standards.

In 1934 Brokaw Hospital had ninety-six beds and a staff of twenty-
six doctors. The present picture of Brokaw Hospital in 1954 offers a
different aspect, as the building now includes one hundred twenty beds,
and the staff numbers sixty-three doctors and fifty-six nurses. In the
project for expansion. Dr. Herman Smith of Chicago was the consultant
on building plans, and Schaeffer, Hooton and Wilson were the archi-
tects.

A program of fund-raising was begun in the fall of 1948, and under
the leadership of George A. Washburn, now deceased, the original goal
was reached. Due to increased building costs, the effort to raise money
has been continued, and at the present time popular subscriptions from
Bloomington-Normal and McLean County total an approximate $1,100,-
000.00. W. A. Matheson is general chairman of the campaign.

During 1951-1953 the new four-story wing of the hospital was con-
structed with a total outlay of more than a million dollars. The building
activities were launched on October 11, 1951, with breaking-of -ground
ceremonies. The wing was completed, and open house was held on June
11-14, 1953. Patients were moved into the new hospital on July 15, 1953.

The new facilities consist primarily of a four-story wing which in-
cludes a new laundry, kitchen, dining-rooms, business offices, emergency
room, sixty-six new rooms for patients, and a chapel where the nurses
hold their 6:45 A, M. daily devotions. A call system with microphone
equipment has been installed for instant communication between patient
and nurse. The patients' rooms are light and spacious, decorated in
cheerful colors, and equipped with built-in dresser, wardrobe, toilet and
lavatory. A supply of oxygen is piped to each room. Future plans call
for the construction of a one-story surgical wing which would bring all
administrative and out-patient services, including surgical. X-ray and
laboratory, to the ground floor of the hospital with all nursing service
on the three floors above.

The administrators of Brokaw Hospital for the past twenty years
have been — Miss Macie Knapp, 1934-1938; Miss Maude F. Essig, 1938-
1939; Miss Helen Bierman (Mrs. J. E. Willman), 1939-1944; Miss
Frances Mix, 1944-1946; Miss Evelyn G. Johnson, 1946-1948; and W. V.
Herrin, January 1, 1949, to date.

Brokaw Hospital's Board of Trustees, consisting of two trustees
elected by each Protestant congregation of McLean county meets quar-

-109 -

-110-

terly. The Board of Directors, a smaller group, holds monthly meetings,
and determines the policies for the operation of the hospital. During
1951 and 1952 Brokaw Hospital spent approximately $30,000.00 annually
on free services to the needy of the community.

During the past two decades R. O. Ahlenius, in 1941, completed
twelve years as president of the Board of Directors; Parke Enlow served
one year; Sumner Goodfellow, three years; Hudson Burr, one year;
W. J. Bach, six years; and George P. Davis is in his first year in
this office.

The School of Nursing at Brokaw Hospital celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary in May and June, 1952, with a Golden Jubilee program, and
issued a booklet of its history which included a directory of personnel.
The directors of nurses for the past twenty years were: Miss Maude F.
Essig, 1934-1939 (she began in 1924) ; Miss Helen Bierman (Mrs. J. E.
Willman), 1939-1944; Miss Frances Mix, 1944-1946; Mrs. Evelyn Lantz,
Mrs. Martha Rypins, and Miss Ailleen Keckler for short terms; Miss
Margaret Mae Cheek, December, 1946, through June, 1948; Mrs. Mary
Cade Scott (Mrs. Herman Smith), 1948; and Mrs, Gertrude P. Gallagher,
1949 to the present.

In 1934 there were twenty-six students in the school of nursing;
in 1954 students numbering fifty-five were enrolled in Brokaw Hospital
School of Nursing which is fully accredited by the North Central
Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges. At present the school is
affiliated with Illinois Wesleyan University, Peoria State Hospital for
Psychiatry, University of Illinois, Cook County Hospital for Pediatrics,
University of Illinois Research Hospital for Pediatrics, and McLean
County Public Health Department. It also has the approval of the
Illinois State Department of Registration and Education. The courses
offered are: three years, leading to a diploma in nursing; four years,
leading to a bachelor of science in nursing, which course was added in
1951; five years, leading to a bachelor of science degree.

During the period of 1939-1941 the Mae E. Mecherle Memorial
Nurses' Home was constructed at a total cost of $64,000.00. It is a four-
story, brick structure offering modern living accommodations to approx-
imately sixty students. Adequate facilities are provided here for school
activities and for recreation, as well as comfortable living quarters.
House mothers for the Nurses' Home have been Mrs. Elizabeth Forman
for seven years, and Mrs. Gwendolyn Mitchell since April, 1949.

Due to the lack of suitable facilities and a shortage of personnel,
it was necessary to close the Maternity Department in 1942. A gift
of $7,000.00 in memory of Paul F. Beich made possible the re-opening
of the ward in October, 1946 with a capacity of twelve beds and four-
teen bassinets. 0. B. supervisors have been: Miss Ruth Munson, 1934-
1939 and 1946; Mrs. E. Tindle, 1939, 1940; Mrs. B. Stricklin, 1941;
Mrs. Esther Rensberger, 1942, 1947, 1948; Miss Irma Vogel, 1947;
Miss Alice Shipley, 1949, 1950; Mrs. Shirley English, 1951; Mrs. Joann
Sperry, 1952; Miss Schultheis, 1953.

The present medical staff of Brokaw Hospital includes thirty active
members, five associate members, two honorary members, and twenty-
four members on the courtesy staff. Doctors from seven towns of
McLean County hold appointments in the hospital and from four towns
in nearby counties. From 1934 to 1954 these have served as president
of the medical staff: Drs. Gerald M. Cline, Homer O. Dolley, E, M.

Stevenson, B. Markowitz, L. T. Fruin, David M. Jenkins, Harry C.
Barber, Ralph P. Peairs, Theodore A. Rost, Fred W. Brian, Vincent B.
Marquis, C. R. Ahroon, George W, Stephenson, Raymond E. Baxter,
G. E. Hartenbower, Ray W. Doud, and Benjamin F. Hoopes.

The following interesting statistics for Brokaw Hospital were com-
piled for the year beginning October 1, 1952; patients admitted — 3,131;
patient days — 25,771; major operations — 565; minor operations —
1,281; anesthetics — 1,592; E.K.G's — 526; laboratory tests — 29,223;
diathermy treatments — 188; births — 284; X-rays — 2,519; X-ray
treatments — 1,170.

During the years of World War II, 1942-1945, there were forty-six
names of alumni nurses on the Service Honor Roll of Brokaw Hospital,
and thirteen members of the medical staff were in service. In coopera-
tion with the United States Government, a unit of the Cadet Nurses
Corps was organized by the hospital with thirty-five cadets. However,
the war had ended before any member of this group had finished her
training.

The Women's Service League, inaugurated in 1925, is an auxiliary
to Brokaw Hospital. Its hundreds of members from McLean County pay
annual dues, and its officers direct a program to secure interest, ma-
terials and funds, and also to provide active service in the hospital.
Cherry colored uniforms in the hospital indicate hostesses, saleswomen
at the gift case, or operators of the snack bar. On the third Monday of
each month a group of League members are busy with needles and
sewing machines, working on hospital linens. Another activity is the
Thrift Shop located at 1006 W. Washington Street in Bloomington.
The following have served during the last two decades as presidents
of the Women's Service League: Mrs. E. 0. Brown, three years; Mrs.
E. M. Stevenson, three years; Mrs. Eugene Funk, Jr., two years; Mrs.
Charles Stephenson, two years; Mrs. Homer DoUey, two years; Miss
Clara R. Brian, one year; Mrs. William G. Read, five years, Mrs. John
A. Brokaw, now in her second year.

The past twenty years have seen enormous changes in equipment
and treatments. Much improvement has been made. Mention should be
made of the use of wonder drugs or antibiotics, the early ambulation
of patients, increased use of laboratory and X-ray for diagnosis, spe-
cialization of equipment for the treatment of patients, improved dietary
therapy, development in the practice of medicine, intravenous therapy,
and specialization of personnel, both doctors and nurses.

MENNONITE HOSPITAL. 1934 - 1954

Historical Sketch

The Mennonite Hospital during the years 1932-36 was confronted
with the problem of maintaining adequate service while many of the
rooms remained vacant. The financial difficulties, nationally, made it
impossible for many people to be hospitalized, since neither the indi-
vidual nor the county had the means to compensate for services ren-
dered.

However, early in 1940, it became apparent that more hospital beds
were necessary in the community, and the Mennonite Hospital Associa-
tion undertook the construction of an east wing which added forty-eight
private rooms. The cost of this structure was $80,000, and some mem-
bers of the medical staff together with the Mennonite constituency
contributed enough to complete the wing in 1941 without debt.

With this growth of the hospital there was, of course, a necessary
increase in the number of nurses. Housing of the Nursing School be-
came a problem, and by 1946 a new nurses' home was dedicated which
would accommodate eighty student nurses and the necessary classrooms
and library.

Again during 1949 a campaign was launched to provide the funds
for added hospital space. This time the effort of Mennonite Hospital to
secure funds was combined in a campaign with St. Joseph's Hospital,
which also wished to build an addition. Pledges to the amount of
$350,000 were secured and the proceeds in cash were equally divided
between the two institutions. With the money thus obtained, construc-
tion of another addition to Mennonite Hospital was begun. The increase
in the number of beds thus provided will bring the capacity of the
hospital to one hundred forty-five, and, in addition, an entirely new
surgical unit will be made available, with space for a new laboratory
and more adequate X-ray facilities.

Along with the development of the physical plant there were
changes in the hospital organization and in the medical staff. During
the first twenty-three years of the hospital's history, Rev. E. Troyer
had been the sole president of the Association. With the passing of Rev.
Troyer and Dr. E. P. Sloan the responsibilty of furnishing the fine
inspiration to further the advancement of the hospital passed more
largely to other members of the board and medical staff.

Dr. E. P. Sloan had been, in effect, the Medical Director of
Mennonite Hospital until his passing in 1935, The pattern of the
medical staff, thereafter, developed with the presidency each year
passing to a member who had not served in that capacity before.
Committees and departments gradually came into being with more
interest shown in a conscious effort to meet standards accepted by the
larger hospitals. In the 1947 Approved Number of the A.C.S. Journal,
Mennonite Hospital was listed as fully approved. Subsequently it was
provisionally approved, and in 1953 was again listed with full approval.
Under the sponsorship of Dr. E. P. Sloan and his associates, Mennonite

-113-

Hospital enjoyed a significant reputation in the field of thyroid surgery.
Several national clinics were held in Bloomington with leaders in that
field participating.

There have been a number of clinics held at Mennonite Hospital in
the field of orthopedic surgery under the sponsorship of Dr. Wellmerling.
With Dr. Gailey concentrating his hospital work at Mennonite Hos-
pital since 1937, there has been a constant hospital load in the field
of eye sui'gery and clinics in this field have also been accommodated.

Beginning in 1920, with a medical staff of twenty-two members,
practically all physicians and surgeons practicing medicine in the county,
with more than a dozen from adjacent counties, are now listed on the
staff roll. Accordingly at the beginning of 1953 there were ninety-one
physicians enrolled either as active, courtesy, associate, or senior active
members of the medical staff.

The nursing school, organized in 1920, has graduated three hundred
fifty-seven nurses from its three year course. Members of the medical
staff have always co-operated in teaching courses in the school. In
addition, the faculty consists of two nurses holding Masters Degrees,
and two nurses with Bachelors Degrees. The school enjoys affiliation
with niinois State Normal University in its Science Department. The
State Department of Education and Registration has always recognized
the school. Under the plan of temporary accrediting, it is also approved
by the National Nursing Accrediting Service.

The hospital during the year of 1923 treated less than 700 patients
at a cost of $40,600; whereas, during 1952 there were 5,528 patients
treated with costs amounting to $525,000. The hospital averaged 100
bed patients per day and the nursery accounted for a daily average of
eighteen babies. Maintaining necessary services for this patient load
required forty-nine graduate nurses, seven technicians, eighty-seven lay
workers, and sixty-three nurses in the training school.

FAIRVIEW SANATORIUM. 1934 - 1954

Historical Sketch

The Fairview Sanatorium was completed in the summer of 1919
and was formally opened at a service Sunday afternoon, August 17,
1919. The first patients were admitted August 19, 1919.

It was a well built, fireproof, brick building designed to accommo-
date thirty-four patients with room for the employees and nurses in
the same building. At that time there was great emphasis on the fresh
air treatment, and most of the beds for patients were in large unheated
wards with large windows which were always open summer and winter.

In 1922 a nurses' home was built with an apartment for the super-
intendent on the first floor, and rooms for the nurses on the second
floor. This made room for additional patients, bringing the capacity up
to fifty-two patients.

The fresh air treatment as it was practiced in those early years
brought much hardship to both patients and nurses in the winter weather.
In 1930-31, heat was installed in the wards, and since that time windows
have been kept open only in rest hours and at night, making it possible
to give much better care to the patients and adding much to their
comfort.

In 1929 a much needed X-ray was installed, and this was improved
and modernized in 1935, and again in 1945. In 1931 a sterilizer for
dressings, linen, and solutions, was purchased; and in 1938 a passenger
elevator was installed, and an incinerator was constructed, making
possible the safe disposal of sputum papers, dressings, etc.

Dr. A. Bernice Curry was the first Medical Director. She was
succeeded in that office by Dr. Lydia Holmes, Dr. Charles Shultz, and
Dr. Vincent B. Marquis, the present incumbent.

Doctors who have served on the Board of Directors of the Sana-
torium include Dr. C. M. Noble, Dr. F. L. Wakefield, Dr. A. Bernice
Curry McConnell, Dr. Frank Fisher, Dr. F. C. McCormick, and Dr.
Ross E. Elvidge.

During the entire period the Sanatorium has been in operation there
has been an out-patient clinic held twice a week with the Medical
Director in attendance. These clinics are for diagnosis of new cases
and follow-up of discharged cases. At first they were held in the Eddy
Building in Bloomington. In 1932 the clinic was moved to the Sanatorium
in order to make use of the X-ray for out-patients.

With increasing emphasis on chest X-rays as a means of case finding,
attendance at the clinics gradually increased until in 1946 it was
^V'ided to again hold the clinic downtown. This was made possible by
the purchase of X-ray equipment by the McLean County Tuberculosis
Association with funds obtained by the sale of Christmas Seals. This
X-ray was installed in the offices of the Tuberculosis Association in the
American State Bank Building where the clinic has since been held as
a joint project of the Sanatorium and the Tuberculosis Association. In
the last year, 1952-53, 4,914 X-rays were taken.

-116-

-117

During the years since the Sanatorium was opened there have been
great advances in the treatment of tuberculosis. In the early years
chief reliance was on bed rest and fresh air. After the X-ray was in-
stalled it was possible to begin collapse therapy. The first pneumothorax
treatments were begun in 1929, and during the following years many
patients received these treatmeiits. Later, operations on the phrenic
nerve to paralyze the diaphragm became popular, and these treatments
were added. During this period thoracoplasty operations were in the
developmental stage, and were gradually improved and made safer and
more effective. The major operations have not been performed at
Fairview Sanatorium, but patients have been transferred to other sana-
toria for surgery, and later returned to Fairview for continued treat-
ment. Many have been so treated.

The use of chemotherapy in tuberculosis began in 1945 when strepto-
mycin became available. It was soon found that streptomycin did not
cure the disease but it was a great aid when used in addition to the
other types of treatment. Since that time chemotherapy has been greatly
improved by the addition of paraamino salicycilic acid and isoniazid,
and today most patients receive at least two of these drugs and many
all three, and results are thereby much improved.

Since chemotherapy has been extensively used, results of excisional
surgery have been greatly improved, and today pneumonectomy, lobec-
tomy, segmental resections and wedge resections are becoming very
popular, and are gradually replacing pneumothorax, pneumoperitoneum,
and even thoracoplasty in properly selected cases.

It is very difficult for many patients to adjust to the sanatorium
regime, and much attention has always been given to ways and means
of helping them. The coming of radio was a great boon to bedridden
patients everywhere, and since it has been available new vistas have
been opened up which have been very helpful. Also, for several years,
regular feature movies have been shown about every two weeks on a
screen in front of the building. Occupational therapy has also been a
part of the treatment, and more recently rehabilitation programs in
charge of a rehabilitation coordinator have been added, and patients
are encouraged to take correspondence courses. Through the State De-
partment of Vocational Rehabilitation, teachers can be provided for
certain classes.

When the Sanatorium opened, the death rate from tuberculosis in
McLean County was 118 per 100,000. By 1933 this had been reduced to
34, and by 1952 to 8. Many factors have probably worked together to
bring about this marked improvement, but without doubt the work of
the Sanatorium as a center for the whole tuberculosis control program
has been one of the chief factors, and has thus saved many lives and
much sickness and economic distress.

HONORS FOR THE DOCTOR

"I have never had the time," said the old doctor as he looked over
his personal questionnaire, "to accept honorary positions in civic life."
And after the word "Honors" on his questionnaire he firmly wrote
"None."

No honors for the doctor! The very phrase is erroneous. His life
is filled with honors though they may be intangible. His hostages to
fame are the lives he has saved. His medals are the inky footprints of
newborn babies he has ushered into the world. His applause and ex-
pressions of adulation are the prayers of thankfulness wafted toward
heaven by anguished parents.

No title of high rank can compare in greater honor than that of
doctor, for the title of the healer is closest to that of Christ's lifetime
work. No profession holds more courage; the doctor fights as dire a foe
as any soldier — ignorance, disease, death! He builds as marvelous an
edifice as the most eminent architect or engineer, though he builds
with bone and nerves instead of wood and steel. He creates in a delicate
operation as distinguished a performance of virtuosity as the artist
or musician.

Honors for the doctor? No judge in the highest court can vie with
the dignity and nobleness of a doctor's calling; no king has a more
illustrious sceptre or emblem of authority than the old doctor's fifty
year pin. His is the honor to serve humanity. The humblest country
doctor and the most renowned city surgeon reap equal honors in serving
their fellow men with their marvelously trained hands and minds and
hearts.

No honors for the doctor! Rather let us say, "All honors are the
doctor's!"

Historian

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We, the undersigned committee, wish to express our
appreciation to Clara Louise Kessler for the way in
which she has assembled the greatly detailed facts
of one hundred years of medical history in McLean
County, and has made them into a book. Her in-
terest in this project has produced not just a book
— she has added flavor by preserving, unchanged,
the historical writing of earlier years; she has un-
folded beauty by portraying faithfulness to the
ideals of the profession as shown in the dedicated
march of a long panorama of doctors; she has dis-
closed adventure and heroism by etching an amazing
patriotic frieze of McLean County soldier-doctors;
she has introduced romance by revealing in the
background of the doctors' lives a charming host
of wives and children; and in a very special way
she has made this volume of history a stepping stone
to inspiration and a guiding post to endeavor for
future generations of McLean County doctors. We
are grateful to her for this achievement.

Signed;

Fred W. Brian
Robert G. Price
