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?
