Excerpt from The Charlotte Medical Journal, Vol. 68: July-December, 1913 I am sorry not to be able to state the exact growth of the society for the past 10 years. For the six years of which we have a correct record, the number of members has increased nearly being 769 in 1906 and 1100 this morning at o'clock with two counties, Davie and Richmond, still to be heard from. There are 1700 active practitioners in the State. This makes nearly 600 who do not belong to the society. Not a bad showing.

Excerpt from The Charlotte Medical Journal, Vol. 14: January, 1899 In considering this subject of injures to the head there are several facts that at once attract one's attention, and to a greater or less extent impress themselves on one's mind. First we notice where an injury may be situated. It may be purely external, a scalp wound only. The bony skull may be involved and also the brain, or we may have a serious brain lesion and yet the scalp and skull are practically sound and normal.

Excerpt from The Charlotte Medical Journal, Vol. 66: July, 1912 The State has recognized the demand upon it for help in the education of the doc tors of the State by erecting and equipping the new State Medical Laboratory Building at the State University. This is a fitting token of the State's appreciation Of her doctors. It is also a declaration on the part Of the State Of its purpose to lend a helping hand in the education of our future doctors. The doctors Of the State should in return show their appreciation of the State's effort by using their in uence to the end that a greater number Of young men shall take the first two years of their medi cal course at this State institution, in place of going out of the State, as so many Of them have been doing. The State has properly recognized the great debt that we owe to laboratory re search work, which has revealed to us the true cause of most of our infectious diseases and how we may prevent them. It has pro vided in the State medical building a num ber of well equipped private laboratories, where any doctor Of the State may go and carry on, for a time, his research work, without the expense of having to build and equip his own laboratory. The best field for discovery and usefulness on the part Of any young doctor is in laboratory work. I commend to you these laboratories. Pellagra is today puzzling and vexing the medical profession Of the country more than any other one disease. I would suggest that some of our young men take this problem into one Of these private laboratories and these solve it, bringing with its solution great honor to this society, and undying fame to himself. Another problem that I would suggest for solution, is the finding Of an efficient remedy for hookworm disease, that is not in itself a poison. Who will be the young doctor to find that remedy?

Excerpt from North Carolina Medical Journal, Vol. 13: January, 1884 The reply I received from Dr. Emmett was so discouraging that my plausible zeal to add to my own laurels and to relieve the poor woman almost forsook me. However, I kept on trying to improve her condition, and at the end of several weeks had got about ready to cut and sew, when her husband took her home, declaring he could not and would not be taxed further.

Excerpt from The Charlotte Medical Journal, Vol. 82: A Southern Journal of Medicine and Surgery, July December, 1920 Yet, may I ask, have we not neglect ed our greatest asset to man in awaiting his call for aid and then attempting a cure, rather than anticipating his ills and preventing his calls. We advise how to get well where we should advise how to keep well. We are constantly discussing our problems, making known our mistakes, as well as our accomplishments; we have forged ahead and have done much, yet we know and the public knows that with our present method we are not by one-half, doing what could be done.

An “informative and enlightening” biography of a scientist who helped bring insulin to the world, and went on to become a prominent philanthropist (The Franklin Daily Journal). George Henry Alexander Clowes was a pivotal figure in the development of the insulin program at the Eli Lilly Company. Through his leadership, scientists and clinicians at Lilly and the University of Toronto created a unique international team to develop and purify insulin and take the production of this life-saving agent to an industrial scale. This biography, written by his grandson, presents his scientific achievements, and also takes note of his social and philanthropic contributions, which he shared with his wife, Edith. It tells the story of Clowes from his childhood in late Victorian England to his death at Woods Hole on Cape Cod in 1958. Educated in England and Germany, Clowes came to America to join a startup laboratory in Buffalo, where he conducted basic research on cancer and applied research on other disease-related problems. Assuming the position of head of research at Lilly, Clowes was at the center of one of the great discoveries that changed the course of medical history and offered new life to millions of individuals with diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Clowes was also instrumental in the development of other commercial pharmaceutical advances. Devoted to a number of philanthropic causes, Clowes and Edith contributed greatly to the cultural life of his adopted country, a contribution that continues to this day.
