310 THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL. toriuin Dec. 1st. From a number of applicants for the position of Medical Director, the Board elected Dr. Wilson Pendleton, a native of Virginia, and a graduate of and former instructor in the University at Charlottesville, Va. He comes to his work in the Sanatorium with the highest recommendations from his former professors and associates in the University, and from the authorities of the State Institutions for Tuberculosis of Delaware and Connecticut where he worked for three years, as well as letters of almost fulsome eulogy from Dr. Larrason Brown and other noted Phthis-ologists of Saranac Lake, N. Y., where he spent a year. The Sanatorium has space for more than 100 patients, and indications from the applications now coming in suggest that it will soon be filled after the opening. Meanwhile the reporting of tubercular patients by physicians throughout the State to the State Board of Health, and the Correspondence School it is proposed to conduct with all desiring such assistance, and the high grade work naturally to be expected of Dr. Pendleton and his associates, naturally place North Carolina in the front rank of States doing advanced work in tuberculosis. The success of Dr. J. W. Neal, of Monroe, one of North Carolina's most distinguished practitioners, in other lines than medicine, is evidenced by the tobacco crop, valued in excess of $25,000, raised on his Union county farm this year. The Rocky Mount Sanitarium, the new private hospital of Drs. Lane, Staley and Kernegay, at Rocky Mount, N. C., was opened with appropriate exercises on Oct. 25th. The building is commodious, well equipped and should meet a long-felt want in the community, being in thoroughly capable and efficient hands. Dr. J. D. Croom, of Maxton, N. C., who has been seriously ill for some time has recovered and resumed practice. Dr. J. T. Borden, of Beaufort, N. C.,has been appointed as Assistant Surgeon in the United States Navy and leaves for the preliminary course of instruction in the college in Washington, D. C. Under direction of a committee of the progressive Buncombe County Medical Society Asheville will inaugurate a systematic inspection of its public schools in the near future. ___ The published reports of the Asheville, N. C., police inspection of physician's prescriptions for medicinal alcoholic intoxi- cants during the past fifteen months show a little more than twelve thousand prescriptions were filled in Asheville drug stores during the period mentioned. The quantities ranged from a few ounces of brandy to a barrel of beer. Dr. Mason Brawley, formerly of Moores-ville, N. C., who has been spending the past two years in special study, will locate in Salisbury, N. C., Nov. 1st, where he will be associated with his brother, the well known oculist, Dr. R. Vance Brawley. Trustees of Rex Hospital, Raleigh, have named November 7th as "Donation Day," and a special effort will be made to raise funds fer the institution. Drs. Glasscock & Tucker, two osteopaths of Raleigh, are completing an 18 room building which it is announced in the daily press "will be the first sanitarium in Raleigh and will give medical and surgical osteopathic treatment." The exhibit of the State Board of Health at the State Fair was a most noteworthy attraction and surrounded constantly by an interested throng. The press of the State were unanimous in their praise. The leading newspaper at the Capitol city stating "no exhibit has attracted so much attention, or excited so favorable comment, or made so lasting an impression upon the minds of the tens of thousands of spectators as that of the State Board of Health. It commanded the attention and gripped the interest of the passer by as did nothing else. Such an exhibit is necessarily far-reaching in its effect, and the truth of sanitation and hygiene so forcefully presented will be remembered when all else has been forgotten of the Fair and its exhibits." The hundred miniature homes electrically lighted and the fading of the lights illustrative of preventable deaths, the graduated rows of tombstones of similar import, the tolling bells showing the deaths from tuberculosis, the bold showing, easily read placards showing the quackery in "patent" medicines, and the open denouncement of the "Oxypather" (though its promoters had the brazen effrontery to have an exhibit across the aisle from the Board exhibit), all this with handing out of thousands of health tracts, rendered the exhibit a source of great instruction. And last,but by no means least, was the "Better Babies Contest" in which more than 400 babies were entered, and critically examined by physicians and their strong and weak points carefully scored. Prizes of the value of more than $600 were awarded, being the gifts of interested philanthropists.
