Dick from the chairmanship. of the Department of Medicine. It seems appropriate to give some account of theman who so ably guided the department from 1933 to 1946, from the depths of thefinancial depression through the war years,George Frederick Dick was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, July 21,1881. While astudent in the Fort Wayne High School, he determined to become a physician and indue time entered the Fort Wayne Medical School. There his preceptor, L. ParkDra.yer, stimulated in him a lasting interest in bacteriology. He spent a year at Indiana. University Medical School before comingto Rush Medical College, which had re­cently been affiliated with the Universityof Chicago. Almost immediately he cameunder the influence of Dr. Howard T.Ricketts and spent much of his sparetime in the latter's laboratory. Later hewas to revise Ricketts' monograph, In­fection, Immunity, and Serum Therapy.It was Ricketts who recommended him toDr. Ludwig Hek 'oen, the sponsor of muchof the Dicks' experimental work, warninghim that Dr, Hektoen did not like peoplewho talked too much, Dr, Dick is quotedas saying in this connection, "I can assureyou that Hektoen never had any troubleof that sort with mel"Dr. Dick was ofTered an internship atthe Presbyterian Hospital in Chicagounder Dr. Frank Billings, then one of theoutstanding internists of the country.Meanwhile he had passed the examina­tions for internship at the Cook CountyHospital and was hard put to it to. decidewhich internship to accept. He talked itover with Dr, Billings, who suggested. that he try the "County" internship butcome back to see him if not satisfied. Thisincident reveals the frank and friendlyrelationship which always existed be­tween the two men .. ' After completing the internship at'''County,'' Dr. Dick engaged in generalpractice in the iron country of Buhl,Minnesota, There he was able to saveenough money to spend two years in .study abroad. At. the University ofVienna's Institute of Pathology heworked first under Weichselbaum, the dis­coverer of the meningococcus, and thenbecame assistant to Anton Ghon. Dr.Dick was one of the few Americans to beassigned a demonstration table underGhon, From Vienna he went to Munich,where he was an assistant to Friedrichvon MUller, He returned home with aletter of recommendation from Ghon toDr, Simon Flexner, director of the Rocke­feller Institute for Medical Research,After visiting the Institute, he decidedthat it was too elaborate for his taste andreturned to Chicago without presentingthe letter .In 1910 Dr, Dick did his first work inscarlet fever for the McCormick Insti­tute. He is quoted as saying: "I had nopreference for the problem of scarletfever, and wasn't especially interested in(Continued on page z)MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINDr. Dick Retires-(Cl)nlinllw [rom page I)it then. The Institute, however, wasfounded for the study of scarlet feverbecause John Rockefeller McCormick, ason of Mr. and Mrs. Harold McConnick,had died of the disease, and no one therewas working on it at the time." The nexttwo years he W:lS an instructor in pathol­ogy at the University of Chicago, giv­ing a special course in pathology andimmunity. Among his students wasGladys Henry, The latter had a pet bull­dog which played an important role inpromoting an acquaintance which even­tuated in marriage in January, 1914.After a. four months' honeymoon inEurope, the Dicks returned to Chicago,where Dr. George Dick became patholo­gist and director of laboratories, first atSt. Joseph's Hospital and then at St.Luke's Hospital. He joined the Army in1917 and served as pathologist at CampPike and Camp Dodge, before going over­seas wi th Base Hosni tal No. r r. When thewar was over, he was discharged from theArmy with the rank of major, returningto the l\{cCormick Institute and to thestudy of scarlet fever. There was no salaryconnected with the work at the Institute,Dr. Dick's sole source of income through­out this period being the practice of medi­cine. 'Asked how he was able to carryon,Dr. Dick once said: "Dr. James B. Herrickwas especially kind and helpful at the'Presbyterian Hospital. He turned overhis entire service to me for a year, ariddid everything possible to help. Dr.Billings was also most helpful and en­couraging. "By 1924 the Dicks had been able toestablish that certain hemolytic strepto­cocci elaborated toxins which were re­sponsible for the clinical entity, scarletfever. They had been able to reproducethe disease in susceptible human volun­teers. They had standardized the toxinto a point where it could be used success­fully for determining susceptibility to thedisease (the Dick Test), for the produc­tion of an active immunity in humans,and for the preparation of a specificantitoxin in horses. This work, whichelucidated the cause, the treatment, andthe prevention of scarlet fever, is byvirtue of its thoroughness and complete­ness unique in the history of man's fightagainst infectious disease.In :932 Dr. Dick, then head of theDepartment of Medicine of Rush Medi­cal College, was asked to accept the chair­manship of the Department of Medicinein the Medical School, which had a fewyears previously been established on thecampus under the Division of the Bio­logical Sciences. It was largely as a resultof the personal interest which Dr. FrankBillings took in the matter that Dr. Dickwas persuaded to undertake the assign­ment. Under his guidance the Depart­ment of Medicine has grown to impres­sive proportions. One of the foremostworkers this country has produced in the field of medical research, Dr. Dick is atheart a physician, a fact to which thosewho have been closely associated withhim will testify. This dominant interestin clinical medicine in its broadest as­pects assured the development of theDepartment as a remarkably well­balanced whole.Dr. Dick's bibliography includes morethan one hundred titles, the majority ofwhich deal with subjects other thanscarlet fever. Since !933 he has been edi­tor of the section on infectious diseases inthe Year Book of Medicine.Despite the fame and honors which theconquest of scarlet fever have broughthim, Dr. Dick finds his greatest satisfac­tion in being an outstanding clinician.The a wards and honorary degrees hehas received, which include the MicklePrize from the University of Toronto, theCameron Prize in Practical Therapeuticsfrom the University of Edinburgh, andhonorary degrees from the University ofCincinnati and Northwestern University,mean less to him than the statement by.the late Dr. Dean Lewis that GeorgeDick was the best surgical diagnosticianhe had ever known.Our sincere appreciation of his pastaccomplishments and our best wishes forthe future go with Dr. Dick as he returnsto the private practice of medicine.3Jn .:fflemoriamGANGLt.

II e graduated inMarch, 1943, and is now all intern at theCincinnati General II ospital,Tlu: Peritoneum as a .!vI odeof Extrarenal ExcretionJOHN A. S!BLEYThe diffusibility of fluids and dissolvedsalts through the peritoneal membranehas been long known. Putnam (16)demonstrated in cats that fluids in theperitoneal cavity came into almost com­plete osmotic equilibrium with the bloodplasma. While colloids did not pass outof the blood stream, they were absorbedto some extent from the peritoneal cav­ity, thus suggesting a "vital action."Ganter (2) first studied peritoneal lavageas a therapeutic procedure, noting thatthe introduction of salt solution into theperitoneal cavity of dogs with bilateralureteral ligation improved the resultinguremic symptoms. That the nonproteinnitrogen, urea, uric acid, and other bloodconstituents can be lowered by peritoneallavage has been shown by Landsburgand Groinski (IS), Rosenak and Siwon(17), Heusser and Werder (9), and Curtisand Pacheca (3). Bliss, Kastler, andNadler (2) were able to keep bilaterallynephrectomized dogs alive for 13- 16 daysby peritoneal lavage, and Jenry (14)succeeded in prolonging the life of dogspoisoned with mercury bichloride by thismethod. Balaza and Rosenak (I), Wear,Sisk, and Trinkle (20), and Frank,Seligman, and Fine (5) have treatedpatients in uremia by peritoneal lavagewith good results in some cases.A number of investigators havestudied renal function by the method ofparabiosis. Herrmansdorfer (8) joinedpairs of rats in parabiosis with coelio­anastarnosis and later removed the kid­neys of one rat. He was able to removethree kidneys from two rats and main­tain life without a rise in nonproteinnitrogen, chlorides, glucose, or other con­stituents. Similar results were obtainedby Jeffers, Lindauer, Twaddle, and Wol­ferth (13) and by Grollrnan and Rule (7).Dannhcisser (4)' produced nephrosis inrats by administration of uranium and.was able to maintain life for as long as 12-16 days by joining these animals inparabiosis with coelioanastamosis withnormal rats.With the exception of Dannheisser,these investigators produced the uremicstate at a sufficiently long time after parabiosis for a common circulation toexist. That an actual anastarnosis of thetwo circulations eventually develops hasbeen repeatedly shown by the passage ofIndia ink, bacteria, avian erythrocytes,and dyes (7,10, II, 12). Studies made be­fore the' development of vascular com­munications are limited; Spagnol (19)showed that colloidal dyes did not passduring the first few days.It was the purpose of these experi­ments to study experimental uremia inthe rat and to note the efficiency ofexcretion via the peritoneum by an adap­tation of the method of parabiosis. Ure­.:nia was produced by bilateral nephrec­tomy. It was found that the norma! adultwhite rat would die within 48 hours afterthe operation. The animals became apa­thetic and later comatose; occasionallythere was tetany. Fluid retention withmassive edema and pleural fluid occurred.The nonprotein nitrogen rose rapidlyfrom the normal of 25-45 mgm. per centto about I SO mgm. per cent in 24 hours,and to about 350 mgm. per cent beforedeath. .The effect of parabiosis of such anephrectomized rat with a norma! rat wastried. A procedure similar to the originalmethod of Sauerbruch and Heyde (18)was employed in which the skin of theanimals was joined from neck to hip, thescapulae were sutured together, and alarge anastarnosis produced between thetwo peritonea! cavities. The type of circu­lation obtained between the two animalswas studied. A large amount of Evans'blue was injected into the blood streamof one, and during the first few days afterparabiosis no transfer to the partner wasobserved. This was shown by the colorof the animals and by colorimetric studieson the serum. After 3 or 4 days the colora­tion was observed to extend onto the un­injected rat beyond the suture line. Thiscan be explained by a growth of capil­laries and probably more by the diffusionof the dye through intercellular spaces.On the sixth or seventh day the dyespread over the entire partner, and serumstudies showed an almost equal concen­tration of the dye in both animals. It wastherefore concluded that during the first5 or 6 days the only form of communica­tion was the common peritoneal cavityand the tissue spaces at the anastamosis.Bilateral nephrectomy was performedon one of the rats at time of parabios is.The pairs lived for 3-1 I days before thenephrectomized rat died, usually ofuremia, although sometimes of infectionincident to the operation. To insure thatthe coclioanastamosis was of importancein maintaining life, parabiosis of anephrectomized rat with a normal partnerwas done without communication of thebody cavities. Such preparations invari- ably died within 2 days, as did the singlenephrectomized rats. This data is sum­marized in the accompanying table (Fig.I).o - NEPHRECTOMY Al..ONE'A - IN 'ARABIOSlS :s CO£L..x - IN PARA8OSI;; C COEL..A XA )(f'j.

Typical values for a single neph­rectomized rat and for such a rat inparabiosis are shown on the accompany­ing graph (Fig. 2).NPNI.!CIooIX350300250200 -- _ NEPHfl£CTOMY Al..ON(---- = WITH PARABIOSIS.... . .. = WITH PERfUSION150 ",''"100 ",'":' .. ;,/.�--- - -.- - - - - .,'50 ..

After 5 mgm. of PSP wereinjected intramuscularly, 0.1--0.2 mgm,were excreted by the partner in the first6 hours. The values tended to improveMEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 5when repeated after 5 days, probablydue to the development of an anastarnosisof the circulations.Early experiments have been per­formed in which the peritoneal cavity of anephrectomized rat was continually irri­gated with Tyrode's solution. Althoughthe life of the rats has not been prolonged,the nonprotein nitrogen can be kept atvalues between 7S and 100 rngru. percent. Absorption of fluid took place, anddeath was apparently due to pleural fluid.In conclusion, these preliminary ex­periments demonstrated the efliciency ofthe peritoneal membrane as a mode ofexcretion in renal insufficiency. The effec­tiveness oi the natural dialyzer providedby coelioanastamosis suggests the feasi­bility of developing an artificial dialyzingmechanism.REFERENCES ]. R.
