ERIC P. QTJAIV. M.D., and Mrs. Qualn, are shown at home. 1491 Arate Street, where the re
tired medical man has written a small book of m emolrs and has published It In Eugene.
Retire J urqeon JPubliskes Book
Here In Eugene there lives a
quiet man of medicine, retired
from his calling after an ex
tremely busy career, who has
turned to writing as an avoca
tion. Recently he has had a
book published and what is es
pecially interesting, it has been
published in Eugene.
"Unforgettable Events" is
the title of the modest eighty
page volume by Eric P. Quain,
M.D., of 1491 Agate Street. It
was published by the Valley
Printing Co.
Dr. Quain has an interesting
background. Most knowledge of
it is gained from perusal of
"Who's Who In America," for
he follows the principles of
medical ethics and talks little of
himself. He was forty years in
practice at Bismarck, N.D., and
organized there the Quain and
Ramstad Clinic which grew to
be second in size only to Mayo's.
He served as its chief of staff
until 1939. A fellow in the Am
erican College of Surgeons, he
is a member of the founders'
group of the American Board of
Surgeons. During World War I
he served as a medical officer'
with the American Expedition
ary Forces, with rank of lieu
tenant colonel. He organized a
medical unit, Base Hospital No.
60. He now is inactive, save as
a medical consultant.
The book, title of which is
paraphrased from the Readers
Digest feature, "Most Unforget
table Character" tells a series of
remembrances taken from his
full life. It begins with his
childhood In Sweden, and tells
graphically of life in the north
ern clime as it was prior to the
turn of the century. Methods
of hunting and the way of life
generally will be fresh and new
to most readers; the legend -of
"Necken." the evil spirit of the
deep waters, is introduced. Men
will line ine cnotiii .....j
deal with hunting of moose and
cnapiers wmtu
other outdoor endeavors. The
writer is an ardent sportsman
indeed, his choice of Eugene
as a home, whence he came in
1940, was due to the excellent
fishing and hunting hereabouts
at the time!
The chapters tell of his com
ing to America, a youth of 18,
and some of his early experi
ences in medical practice. A sad
one deals with the death of his
younger brother who followed
him to this land death due to
ruptured appendix, which led
the elder brother to make a de
termined study of this then
little-known ailment.
One feels, after reading the
too-short chapters that the surgeon-author
has another book,
perhaps several, within his
memory; his life undoubtedly
would furnish a wealth of "ma
terial as rich as the "unforget
table events" he has deligned.
This volume was written pri
marily for his children, he ex
plains, but in publishing the
number wanted, it was as easy
to make extras, and so a few
will be available.
Adding much to the charm of
the book are illustrations, primi
tive in type but well done, by
the writer's wife. Mrs. Qualn
was for many years a surgical
nurse in the doctor's clinic; she
had never studied drawing, but
her sketches show she has en
tered into the spirit of the tales.
Her husband relates with pride
that in her term of professional
service she prepared as many
as 27,000 cases for surgery;
sounds like a record.
The Quains share a love of
the outdoors, as well as their
hospital background; they also
enjoy gardening in their small
plot, where the doctor conducts
a little experimental station in
horticulture. Also, they have

Topic of Speaker
Dr. Robert D. Horn of the Uni
versity of Oregon faculty was
guest speaker for Eugene Fort
nightly Club, meeting Thursday.
Speaking to about fifty members
and guests, Dr. Horn gave an
interesting biographical discus
sion of the Duke and Duchess of
Marlborough. The speaker has
several panegyrics on Marlbor
ough, so that by drawing from
his vast fund of information, the
talk was more than a life story
of the Duke and Duchess. Eighteenth-century
England, with its
rise and fall of publications,
and political pressures amount
ing to practically a time of social
revolution, was described.
The Duke of Marlborough ws
born a commoner, John Church
hill, son of Winston Churchhill
in 1650. Due to his singular tact
and diplomatic skill in the
management of men, he made a
rapid rise. In recognition of his
brilliant exploits in battle, he
was made the first Duke of
Marlborough in 1702. He was the
leader-warrior- king type of man,
conspicuous for his calmness and
careful attention to details in the
hottest moments of the fight.
The Duchess Sarah was his di
rect opposite. She was highly ex
citable and impetuous, to her is
credited considerable share in
the rise and fall of Marlborough.
In the speaker's words, "To
know the Duchess in an educa
tion". In conclusion, Dr. Horn
said thst protestant England is
Marlborough's vindication, using
the word "protestant" in t h e
sense of "to protest."

studied Spanish and attended
lectures on the campus since
coming here. The doctor is quite
a linguist, whnt with his native
Swedish and the Norwegian his
father and mother spoke at
home; English learned here, and
Latin for medicine; German,
when he studied abroad, and
French during the war; Esper
anto added, for good measure,
and now Spanish.
Altogether, meeting the Quains
in itself becomes an "unforget
table event!"
