To be honored .in the program

are: fig JANE TODD CRAWFORD, upon whom was performed the first operation in the world for ovarian tumor. 3 JOHN LAMBERT . RICHMOND, M. D., who, in April, 1927, performed the first caesarean operation west of the Allegheny Mountains.: He is buried at Lafayette, in Spring Vale Cemetery. § DR. JOHN STOUGH “BOBBS, who performed the first gallstone operation in the world, in Indianapolis. He is buried at. Crown Hill Cemetery. - MRS. Z. (Mary. E) BURNWORTH, his, patient, who is buried at Oaklandon, Ind. i Jdrs.: Crawford’s operation was performed by Dr. Ephraim Mcpowell in his office in Danville, Ky., on Christmas Day, 1809. Unusual courage was displayed by both the doctor and the patient. Mrs, Crawford: had ridden '60 miles on horseback, from . her Greentown, Ky., home in physical agony. Previously, Dr. :McDowell’ had ridden to her home, diagnosed the ailment and told her. that she would surely die without an” operation, and possibly would die-even if it was performed. *

She decided to have the operation and rode those painful miles to his office. Meanwhile, word had gotten about among the other doctors of the area and they confronted Dr. McDowell. ? They asked about his diagnosis and he told them. They asked what, he intended to do about it and he told them. Thereupon they informed Dr. McDowell that if he operated, and if the patient died, they would organize a mob that would put a violent end to his practice if not his life. : He operated. Jane Todd Crawford, a relative of Mary Todd Lincoln, endured the agony of the operation as she repeated, .over and over. again, - the Twenty-Third Psalm. . There was no anesthetic in those days. She recovered and after several days rode home on horseback with her husband, who had accompanied her, Word of this spread over the

Lcountry and a London, England,

medical journal reported it as “the daring adventure of a backwoods American surgeon.” Years later. when - Dr. McDowell: . lectured in England, the same journal humbly asked his pardon. ° : : Mrs. Crawford later moved to Indiana and died in 1842. :

At the left is pictured the grave ‘of Dr. John L. Richmond, another medical pioneer. :

The gallstone operation on Mrs.

Burnworth was performed in 1837 in the office of Dr. Bobbs in a

building that was situated wherc the L. S. Ayres & Co. annex now stands. Other doctors were in attendarce. Mrs. Burnworth lived for many years and in 1905 accom-

panied the Indiana medical delega-

tion fo the American Medical Association convention in Portland, Ore. Several years after the operation, eastern medical journals carried accounts of what they termed the first such operation. Physicians who

were present at the time knew this| to be untrue and presently there |’ appeared in the Journal of the In-{|

diana Medical Association a story of

the Bcbbs operation. It was fully|

authenticated, of course,. and accepted by the medical fraternity as the first.

‘Dr. Richmond was a Baptist pas- |.

{or as well as a physician and was once pastor of the First Baptist Church here. The baby delivered

by thc caesarean died but the}: ° mother lived for a number of years].

The beneficial work of some insects more than offsets the damage caused by harmful insects, according to Dr. Henry G. Nester, Butler

University entomologist. Exhibiting more than 1000 specimens collected by himself and Butler students, Dr. Nester spoke Wednesday night : before the Indianapolis Dahlia Society in the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility auditorium. ve So “Most people think insects are destructive,” he said, “but the good ones more than make up .for the bad ones. Eestimates show that benefits are greater than losses. “Why, some insects even produce useful products. ‘There’s the silk worm for example. And a little insect called the Tachicardia Lacea produces shellac. Dyes are produced by the Cochineal and from the b comes honey and, wax.” Dr. Nester said that if it were not for insects which carry pollen from flower tc flower and from fruit tree to fruit tree, there would be no fruit and no “new generation” of flowers because pollinizing is necessary to produec the seed. _. : “There is a natural control over

ones. - The lace wing fly eats damaging plant lice when it is young. The lary beetle devours other insects ‘and the ground beetle eats ths damaging young gypsy moth. “Some good insects are parasites on the bad ones and destroy them. The Japanese beetle is controlled by the Tachinid fly which lays its egg right near thé head of the beetle and the young fly bores into the beetle ‘and kills it. Some species of this fly also lay their eggs on the army worm, live off it and destroy it. “The ‘Braconial wasp lays its eggs on the tomato worm and prevents the worm from developing into a moth, ‘The Ichniuman wasp is another valuable parasite.” Further explaining the value of some ‘insects, Dr, Nester said that one time when California’s orange ¢rop was threatened by a scale on the trees, lady beetles were imported

from the trees. Dr. Nester defeended birds, espe-

‘cially the house wren which is held in ill favor by many people. He said

that sdme birds, like the wren, wage continual war on damaging bugs. A wren’s diet, he said, is 98 per cent insects. be oi
