262 NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL JOURNAL February, 1944 These preparations include placing of respirators at strategic locations throughout the nation, ascertaining hospital facilities for acute and convalescent care; determining how many doctors, nurses and technicians are available; surveying such transportation facilities as ambulances and other vehicles and the personnel available to man them; ascertaining diagnostic and laboratory facilities; and also the preparation of material and equipment, including wool for use in the modem hot pack treatment. "Did You Say Patent Medicine?" The Proprietary Association of America has just published a pamphlet, "Did You Say Patent Medicine?", which clearly shows the inaccuracy of the use of the phrase "patent medicine". Written by Dr. Frederick J. Cullen, executive vice-president of the Association, the pamphlet also contains a reprint of an article from Tide magazine and of a letter by Dr. Cullen which appeared in Editor and Publisher. Dr. Cullen points out in the pamphlet that "patent medicine" originated in England in 1722, but that the meaning of patent there is entirely different from that in the United States. It also notes that "the great majority of medicinal products protected by patents are the so-called ethicals, which are more properly called pharmaceuticals; while very few of the packaged medicines intended for self-medication, although generally characterized as patent medicines are, in fact, patented." 3u fHmnrtam The Synthesis of Quinine A chemical method for duplicating quinine identical in every respect to the anti-malarial drug extracted from the bark of cinchona trees has finally been developed after almost a hundred years of attempts by chemists seeking the correct process, it was announced by Polaroid Corporation last month. Announcement of this achievement in organic chemistry coincides with the publication of the May Journal of the American Chemical Society. In a communication to the editor of the Journal, entitled "The Total Sjmthesis of Quinine", Dr. Robert B. Woodward and Dr. William E. Doering describe how they solved the classic problem. The plan for synthesizing the complex drug was originated by Woodward and incorporated as a project in the basic research program of Polaroid Corporation early last year. A Harvard instructor in organic chemistry. Woodward has been chemical consultant to Polaroid since June, 1942. Dcering was engaged by Polaroid to work as collaborator on the project. He has since become an instructor in organic chemistry at Columbia University. Military interest in the new process relates-to its possibility as a replacement for the vast quinine-bearing cinchona tree plantations in the Jap-held Netherlands East Indies. These plantations were formerly the chief source of quinine supply for the world. It is by no means certain, however, that the synthetic drug can be manufactured on a large scale for use during the war. In achieving their goal, Woodward and Doering not only duplicated quinine but in addition created an entirely new substance closely related to quinine. Foreign to nature, the new molecule may conceivably^ have medical value. The Woodward-Doering work is also significant because it promises to pave the way for other new quinine-like materials that nature has never provided. STEPHEN ARNOLD MALLOY, M.D. Whereas, God, the Ruling Physician of this universe and of the eternal heavens, in His infinite wisdom, omnipotent skill and divine practice, hath seen it best to remove from this mundane field of service on March 30, 1944, our brother and fellow laborer, Dr. Stephen Arnold Malloy, and hath summoned him to the heavenly habitat, where there is no sickness or pain, no sorrow or tears; and Whereas, for more than forty-five years Dr. Malloy signally exalted the profession nobly exemplified in the parable of the good Samaritan, in sympathetically ministering to the ills of mankind, binding wounds, lifting the fallen and bringing hope to the hearts of the discomforted; and Whereas, we of the medical profession could more truly and fully measure the great heart of the man and more accurately judge the skill of him as a physician when we have watched that tender heart moved to tears when death hovered near and human agencies seemed unavailing; and Whereas, we loved and esteemed him for the nobility of his professional skill and high standards of ethical conduct, community service and Christian leadership; and Whereas, "The silver cord has now been loosed" and "the pitcher broken at the fountain", we shed a tear, dedicate a page and say in farewell that we shall not forget him "Until dawn breaks and the shadows flee": Therefore, we request that a copy of this resolution, along with expressions of our deepest sympathy, be placed in the hands of the family of our deceased brother, and direct that another copy be furnished the Caswell Messenger, with the request that it be published in its columns. Alamance-Caswell Medical Society H. L. Gwvnn, M.D. R. F. Warren. M.D. S. F. Scott, M.D. AUXILIARY TWENTY-SECOND ANNUAL SESSION The twenty-second annual session of the Auxiliary to the Medical Society of the State of North Carolina was held at the Carolina Hotel, Pinehurst, on May 2, 1944. After the meeting was called to order by the President. Mrs. K. B. Pace, Mrs. J. Buren Sidbury conducted services in memory of members who had passed away during the last year. Mrs. Pace reported on the accomplishments of the Auxiliary, naming the Auxiliary's maintenance of the McCain bed at Sanatorium, of the Stevens bed at Black Mountain and of the Student Loan Fund. She expressed her gratitude to members of the Auxiliary for their assistance during the past year, and in particular for their response to the request of the Medical Society
