The public deserves much of the credit for that. These are beliefs of Dr. H. D. Woodward, 74, 544 Bankers' Trust building, bdlieved by his friends to be the- oldest practicing physician in Indianapolis. Dr. Woodward began his career at Coloma, Ind., in 1878, coming to Indianapolis five years later. "It's much easier today for a doctor than it was when I first began practicing,” the doctor declared. Highways in Winter Impassable “In those days a doctor had to fight disease alone. People had crude ideas of sanitation. They couldn’t help a doctor at all. It was hard even to get them to follow orders.” m Take for example the fly. In those 'days he was regarded only as a pest. People didn’t known how really dangerous he was, Dr. Woodward pointed out.

Spelling Matches Dreaded “The dread of these days was typhoid epidemics. Measles spread like wildfire too. The great place to spread disease was at- spelling matches. That used to be the principal form of neighborhood entertainment when I was a young doctor. One person went to a spelling match with measles. Then everybody had them. “Vaccination, of course, came along just about when I first began practicing. The people took to it well. And that has done a great deal to eliminate epidemics. "One thing that has come about in my time is a closer cooperation among doctors. Back in the early days physicians of the old school would not consult with me because I was of the ‘new school.’ “But that’s all gone now. Nobody ever asks what school you’re from. The big question is: ‘What can we do for the patient?’ ” HUBBY ASKS RELEASE Divorce Suit Charges Wife Refused to Take Spouse’s Name. Because Mrs. Vallrie Z. Fischer, 231 E.
