[11] Two decades later, Dr. Whitebread designed a panel showing photographs of famous medical pioneers of all nationalities. See his article, ”The Odd Origin of Medical Discoveries,” p. 321.
[12] GEBHARD, ”From Medicine Show to Health Museum,” p. 579. The original plan for this Hall of Health was to feature exhibits on public health for popular educational purposes, including an ill.u.s.trated exhibit on hospital care. See FOLEY, ”Smithsonian Inst.i.tution Devotes Much s.p.a.ce to Hospital Exhibit,” pp. 43-44.
[13] Lack of s.p.a.ce notwithstanding, valuable accessions were added about 1930, including a collection of early x-ray tubes and personal memorabilia of Drs. William T. G. Morton (1819-1868), Crawford W. Long (1815-1878), and William Gorgas (1854-1920).
[14] D. RILEY MOORE published a series of short reports under the t.i.tle ”Committee on Osteopathic Exhibits in the U.S. National Museum,” in the _Journal of the American Osteopathic a.s.sociation_ (1933-1946), vols.
33-46, regarding the exhibit on osteopathy.
[15] [KLEIN], ”He Directs Pharmacy Exhibits at the Smithsonian Inst.i.tution,” pp. 20-21.
[16] Several other journals reported the exhibition with ill.u.s.trations: _Drug Topics_ (July 8, 1946), vol. 90, no. 2, pp. 2, 79; _National Capital Pharmacist_ (September 1945), vol. 7, p. 11, and (September 1946), vol. 8, pp. 11-13; and _The Scientific Monthly_ (November 1952), vol. 75, p. 268.

584-595.
[18] For the design, expert arrangement of the exhibits, and the legends that accompany each exhibit in the Hall of Health, we are indebted to Drs. Bruno Gebhard, Richards H. Shryock, Thomas G. Hull, James Laster, Walle J. H. Nauta, Leslie W. Knott, Theodore Wiprud, and other physicians, dentists, and scholars who have offered their advice, a.s.sistance, and expert skills.
