i ' "He Went for the Doctor"
rAN AUGUST 1st dispatch from Kansas City, Kansas
Xje reads:
"El wood D. King, who went for the doctor when former
, President Herbert Hoover was born, died here at his home last
1 night." j
. -. Perhaps he went, although Will Irwin, who wrote a
biography of Mr. Hoover, says that Herbert was "born tin
tier the ministrations of his Aunt Ellen, volunteer nurse to
the- community." There may have been a doctor however,
"for in 1874 they were using; doctors for this purpose when
available; and this was in West Branch, Iowa, a village
large enough to support a doctor. So Elwood King, who
waa then a young man of 22 may have '"gone for the doc-
It was different when Abe Lincoln was born. That was
in 1809, In the raw Kentucky country. Midwives or "granny-women"
officiated at births rather than doctors. One
of those who helped nurse Nancy Lincoln through her tra
rail was young Mrs. Peggy Walters, whose story, as re
ported by Barton in his "The Women Lincoln Loved" was
like this:
"I was twenty years old then, and helping to bring a baby
; Into the world was more -of an event to me than It became after
ward, s But I was married young, and had a baby of my own,
and I had helped mother, who, as you know, was quite famous
as a granny-woman, and I had gone several times to help when I
was sent for. It was Saturday atfernoon, I remember, when Tom
Lincoln stood over me and asked me to come and I got up be
hind the boy that rode across to fetch me, and I rode across to
the cabin that stood there. . . . They sent for her two aunts, Mis'
Betsey Sparrow and Mis' Polly Friend, and these both came, but
they lived about two miles away, so I was there before them,
' and we all had quite a spell to wait, and we got everything ready
that we could."
No, there was no doctor to usher Abe into the world;
but there was the inevitable boy sent to summon aid.
"Going for the doctor" is an experience few boys know
now; for the summons is rarely given by messenger, but by
telephone. Older people may well recall ''sending for the
doctor' whether for births or sudden cases of sickness.
Sometimes it was miles to go. Sometimes it was dead of
night. Sometimes it was midwinter. Sometimes it was in
- the spring when frost was coming out of the ground and
roads were a bog. Getting the doctor then was not merely
using a telephone and waiting a short time until a high
powered automobile would bring him to the bedside. It
might mean hours of waiting until the messenger reached
. the village; and an equal period until the doctor could make
his journey. So he was summoned only in grave cases;
;nd then, many times, he came too late. The few drops of
medicine, the swift operation, the skilled binding of a
wound that might have saved the victim's life were denied
him through the slowness of communication and transportation.
Homer Davenport in his book "The Country Boy" told
how Jake McClaine, one- of the founders of Coolidge & Mc
Claine at Suverton, rode horseback through a bad storm
Into the mountains when he heard a family at Cedar Camp
was down with diphtheria,
"And I got to thinking maybe they needed help, so I had the
mare saddled and I am going np.
" 'Jake', my father called, 'are you craxy? Have you lost
your wits completely? Don't you know that when you get into
the live timber in the mountains you will b struck every
twenty feet by flying limbs?' . . . Jake, hold on!'
"But no answer came from the black, night but the howling
p. storm. . . . He found that out of the large family four of the chil
. dren were dead, so b came to town, after coffins and medicine,
and was soon on the way back with the doctor."
There are still a few places where telephones and au
tomobiles do not shorten the time in which professional
.. If kill may be brought into a stricken home, where the boy
till is messenger and the horse still the bearer of the doc
tor who responds. In lier sketches, "The Mountain Doc
tor", Dr. Alfreda Withington, who after war work in France
went to a Kentucky mountain settlement, 13 miles from a
railroad, to serve the people in that isolated district, writes :
- "Late one afternoon ... word came that a man had been
, injured np in the 'log-wood', miles away, and that he was bleed
ing terribly. I jumped upon Billy, swinging the emergency bags
over the saddle and sallied forth. The boy who brought the
message had vanished. The afternoon was on the wane and a
storm was brewing- The dusk settled quickly into darkness,
broken by ominous flashes of lightning ... Drenched and wind
beaten, Billy and I rode on for an hour, occasional sig-zags of
lightning revealing that we were still on the trail, when sudden
ly the figure of a man jumped from behind a tree not a
bandit, but a messenger sent to intercept me in- case I had start
ed; 'for', he said, 'they heared you was bad off, and reckoned
that yon couldn't come nohow in this beatrn rain.' Then he
told me that a stretcher had been improvised and the patient
hat been taken through the ravine below to the settlement.
"Back again, down the slippery trail, Billy and I picked our
hurried way back to the office where the man had been
' brought. His companions made a rough tourniquet, and nature
was helping with clots. . Far into the sight the men, awe-struck,
held flash lights and helped me in repairing the injuries."
"He went for the doctor"; it is almost an echo from
the past. Only in remote places are boys and men sent far

King, if he really did go for the doctor when Hoover waa
.torn, should have this fact set down in the public prints
on the occasion of his passing. His bit of fame must do
for the unnamed boy who went for Peggy Walters in 1803,
and for the boy who vanished" after summoning the
mountain doctor into the storm on an errand of mercy.

Whichever way the case is de

History of care of
the Insane: a forward look:
"a "a "a
(Continuing from yesterday:)
" 'Another error in caring for the
insane In the early days arose
from the theory that institutions
should remain small and an at
tempt was made to limit the sise
of the institutions to the end that
the superintendent might person
ally dlreet the whole treatment
of every patient.
a .
'Under the circumstances very
little effort was made to appoint
or develop assistant medical offi
cers, and. tha superintendent be
came superintendent, physician.
steward and general utility man.
The era of awakening was an era
of experimental effort involving
much groping in the dark and
much waste of money.
'Many mistakes were commit
ted, hut the outcome of the move
ment was state care as a policy
throughout the United States. At
the present time we do not recall
any state that has not taken com
plete charge of its insane and de
linquents.
. .
" 'Fourth, Period of Scientific
Care: The period of scientific
care, which brings us down to the
present day, looks to the study of
mental diseases, their causes and
development, and the study of. lo
cal conditions and surroundings
of the insane patients to ascertain
the . cause of the disease and the
best method of preventing its de
velopment. It also looks to the
after care of patients and the
study of social conditions in or
der to promise to patients dis
charged from the institution
reasonable prospect that a 'fresh
attack of mental disease may be
prevented by proper home sur
roundings. Wa are coming to ap
ply scientific tests, such as the
wasserman reaction, and by so
dolag have cleared up much ob
scurity in the development of
paresis.' The same is true of the
of internal secretion to bodily
metabolism.
a S e
" 'It is now strongly Impressed
upon the minds of the profession
that to cope with insanity in a
given locality there must be a
close relation between the insti
tution and the region round about
it, also that patients coming. to!
untarUy to institutions in the In
ciplent stages of tha disease which
precipitated the first' attack may
be removed before they become
operative: And that wise counsel
may be gireu through the period
of convalescence. We .are now do
ing away with ALL MANNER OF
RESTRAINTS, and the non re
straint method of treatment is
now in style.
" The various states are con
sidering wisely the handling of
their insane criminals, and suit
able Institutions are being-erected
for the scientific care of these un
fortunate human beings.
a
1 Tha great problems of the
future will be tha study of the
prevention of insanity and of the
delinquent classes, what the next
two or three centuries will bring
about in this direction Is a happy
one to contemplate. Preventive
medicine Is the great scientific
problem of the day and the con
serving of the human race Is a
fact devoutly to be wished.
" 'Are we to keep on bulldlnb
more and larger asylums, or are
we in the future to turn our
thoughts and endeavors to thai
prevention of tha unfit classes of

" 'Our Insane are now cared for
better In institutions than they
can be cared for in their homes.
This is as it should be; the state
should accept the responsibility;
but the state should also accept
the fact that Insanity is on the
increase and- that wa have a great
many more delinquent and feeble
minded than we dreamed of In
former years.' (This ends the Quo
