Geographic distribution of Dr. Kempner's Rice Diet program patients during his career at Duke Dr. Walter Kempner and the Rice Diet Program: Another Reason Why Durham is the City of Medicine To the Editor: When Dr. Jim Davis reaUzed that medical care had superseded tobacco as the main focus of life in Durham, he christened it the City of Medicine. I believe that that name was a stroke of genius. But when I think of what happened that made Davis's use of that term appropriate, I think of the late Walter Kempner. When I came to Durham in 1947, Duke Hospital was a small, regional medical center. The Dean, Wilbur Davison, began Duke Medical School by recruiting a small cadre of doctors from Johns Hopkins. Their presence lent a luster of academic prowess to the early medical school, but it was the rise of Walter Kempner's Rice Diet program that really put Durham on the intemational map of medicine. Durham became the medical destination for more than 18,000 patients from all over the country and much of the world. I share here the evidence for that statement: the list of Kempner's patients, recently made available to me. The list reflects the profound impact of Kempner's regimen on conditions hitherto untreatable (like hypertension, congestive heart failure, atherosclerosis, diabetes) and its continuing legacy in the City of Medicine. Sadly, Dr. Kempner passed away September 27. Bom in Berlin in 1903, he died at the age of 94. Eugene A.

Customarily, address labels are positioned on the back of the NCMS Bulletin, which mails with the Journal in a clear plastic bag (called a polybag). The Bulletin was not published in September, however; instead, the Journal mailed with the Roster to save on mailing costs. This alteration resulted in the unfortunate placement of the label on the face of the victim of domestic violence pictured on the Journal. Tim Steinbeck, sales manager for our printer, The Ovid Bell Press, comments: To the Editor: I want to tender my apologies for the label placement on the recent combined mailing of the North Carolina Medical Journal and the North Carolina Medical Society Roster. Due to equipment restrictions on our end with placing the two publications in a polybag, we only had one choice for label placement, which was the unbound, or right side of the Journal. Under normal circumstances, the label would go on the NCMS Bulletin, and the Joumal cover would not be obscured. In this instance, because of the Roster's size and bulk, we had to feed the Roster into the polybag first, which left labeling the Joumal as our only altemative. We have always been pleased with the business relationship we have had with the North Carolina Medical Society, and I'll endeavor to make things work smoothly now and in the future. We can certainly discover how to fix this problem before next year's combined mailing.
