(International Soundphoto) Medical Profession Seeks Recognition for Iron Lung Memphis, Tenn. !U.PJ The medical profession here has dug deep into past records and is ready to support a 78-ycar-old semi-retired physician's claim that he's really the man behind the first iron lung. Dr. Charles Morgan Ham mond is on the sidelines looking on, while the Memphis and Shel by County Medical Society is taking the initiative to get the iron lung credit for. Hammond. Hammond isn't seeking recogni tion. All I want to do is to help people," the elderly doctor said. Hammond said he has "a couple of ideas, for an upright respirator for heart patients. Doctors here support Ham mond's claim that he invented and patented the world's first iron lung. Hammond was never able to get his invention into production because of limited finances. He failed to renew his original patent when it expired, and other respirators began appear ing on the market. Some of the modern machines use centrifugal pumps to regu late air pressure; others use the bellows principle of Hammond's first simple apparatus. Finally Hammond's name dropped out of the picture, his original work forgotten. Until now, when younger doctors hope to get him recognition by the American Medical Association's library, the surgeon general's li brary and Enclyclopedia Bii- tannica. Dr. Henry Gotten heads a committee to support Ham mond's case. It was pointed out that most authorities and ency clopedias gave credit to Philip Drinker and Louis A. Shaw of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who developed an iron lung in 1928. Gotten said that records in the U.S. Patent Office certify that Hammond actually originated the machine years earlier. Rec ords show that Hammond filed his patent on Jan. 12. 1911, and the patent No. 1087942 was granted Feb. 24, 1914, Gotten explained. The patent expired 15 years later when Hammond failed to renew it. The Drinker machine was patented in 1931. The white-haired Hammond, a graduate of the old Memphis Medical college, had hung out his doctor's shingle on a huge cotton plantation below West Memphis, Ark. He suffered an attack of pleur isy while making calls on horse back While bedridden, Ham mond thought how he might breathe easier if he could reduce the atmospheric pressure over his inflamed chest. Hammond figured that a ma chine that could alternately rarefy and condense the air over the chest would, in effect, breathe for the patient, and give his lungs a rest. Diminishing the pressure would force the lungs to take in air, increasing it would force air out, thus accomplishing the breathing process with a mini mum of effort. Hammond made preliminary sketches and got a carpenter-mechanic to work on building the 190 250 Pnt "5 Qt Samovar VODKA f i truly THE ORIGINAL DRY VODKA Product of U.S.A. Boaka Kompjn iya, Schenley.

He Tried It The machine consisted of a casing which fit over the upper part of the body, and made com paratively air-tight by snug-fitting rubber attachments for neck, arms and legs. A flexible tube extended from the top of the casing to a liand operated bellows, which pumped air in and out of the en closure. Hammond tried the machine himself. "I got inside and had my me chanic tighten it up," he recalls. "When he raised up on the hol lows I was talking away, giving instructions, and it cut me off. It frightened the mechanic, but I knew it was doing exactly what ORIENTAL MOOD Thia cool cot ton swimMiit by Sea !Nmph ia shot with gold and piped villi black, achievina; im Oriental air ' w e ...... ; f , Of ii 1 ptpry K ' , (kaee??- f Gay-eaited softy Buster Brown Shoe Store 15 Meaty Rarebit Bologna strips and chopped ripe olives give extra color and flavor to this new jiffy rarebit Combine I can condensed cream of mushroom coup with a quar ter pound of cubed American cheese and J. 2 teaspoon prepared mustard.

To whiten, white porcelain fixtures which have yellowed make a strong solution of laundry bleach and water and let stand in tub or basin for an hour or so. I had expected." In 1909 Hammond completed his first motor-driven respira tor incorporating the basic prinr ciples which he later patented. Three years later the- machine passed its first clinical test when a despondent man who had taken morphine and was near death, was placed in the resuscitator. Five hours later, Hammond said, the man was out of danger. Hammond has yellowed news paper clippings telling how his respirator breathed life into per sons dying of pneumonia, heat prostration, gas and ether nar cosis, infantile paralysis and o t h er conditions paralyzing breathing. Hammond built his first cabinet-type respirator in 1919, a machine which covered the en tire torso and extremities, simi lar to respirators in use' today. His wife, a former nurse was his technical assistant. Years later, Hammond developed a spe cial attachment which rarefies the air over the head to counter balance sudden alteration of air over the torso, this produced more normal respiration.
