There are all types of index. This particular one, on the pointers, is made so that each item on the index has a remark that wont give you the answer but it will give you information that will be more or less a question mark that would be answered in this item of a pointer, and at the end of the pointer that item, which takes up one line usually, sometimes three, is referred to with the reference in the literature to where it came from.
I am still working on that. It isnt quite finished. This wagon load of books that came up form Texas to Dr. Dixon, to which I have access, will give me, I think a full line of Recorders from 1880 on up. Then we can begin on that. You know there are a great many people who do not have these Recorders and men die who have libraries with a great lot of Recorders, and the Recorders are thrown out. For the people who have the Recorders, that would be well worthwhile, but they will not be available. I am afraid, for people later on. It is a big job, because we are reporting from 1880 all the way up until now. It will take a little while. I am working a little on that.
DR. DIXON: He gets up at about five oclock in the morning and works from five to eight hours every day on that. That is real zeal.
DR. GRIMMER: I want to thank Dr. Hayes for bringing us some of the differentiations of snake poisons. It is a very nice thing. They are similar, and the doctor has evidently gone into that phase of the subject. I would like to hear a little more from him. I think he probably could being us a paper on the comparative study of snake poisons which would be of great help of to all of us.
Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
