DR. A. D. HAVERSTOCK
The medical profession is the noblest of all pro
fessions. It contains many learned and able men who
devote their lives unselfishly to the amelioration of
human misery.
But there are doctors doping people with powerful
drugs, who couldn't tell whether a patient had a case
of cholera-morbus or was afflicted with an incurable
itch for office—who have acquired their medical infor
mation from the almanacs and could not distinguish be
tween a bunion and a stone-bruise or find the joint in
a string of sausage with a search warrant.
But let it be recorded here of Dr. A. D. Haverstock,
of the Seward General Hospital, and to his eternal
credit, that he and his efficient staff have attained a
record seldom equalled any place in the world.
Since the Seward General Hospital was established
in Seward, one year ago June 22, with Dr. Haverstock
as physician and surgeon; Harold A. Sogn, technician;
Mrs. Gjeisbek, superintendent, and a staff of trained
nurses and assistants, to June 30 of this year, a total
of 371 patients entered the hospital. Seventy-six of
these w^ere major operations, 102 minor operations and
15 babies were born. Not a death is recorded from
either a major or minor operation. Nine deaths oc
curred in and outside the hospital but these were from
cases beyond all hope of recovery such as two men who
were burned, one with slashed throat, a suicide, old
cases of cancer, etc.
Well might the Seward General Hospital be known
as the “Rochester of Alaska.”

A VICIOUS-ATTACK
A matter for the postal authorities to investigate
is the reappearance of an alleged statement entitled
“Financing Crime in Alaska/’ which is now being re
ceived in the Territory through the mails.
The author, one alleged R. F. Spicer, charges the
“Guggenheim Clique” with guilt of narcotic peddling
and of ill-treating their Alaska employees. The photo
graph of the alleged Spicer also appears amidst the
rantings of what seems to be a sick intellect.
The addresses on the envelopes are stamped with
what seems to be one of those 10c boy’s sets of rubber
alphabets and the signatures are simiarly appended.
Whoever reads the d- thing will certainly be
lieve it to be the ravings of a vacuum-brain, chained to
an Aurora Borealis.
As a safeguard measure for adults and children
alike, life preservers should be placed on the local float.
During the past year two people have fallen into the
water; regardless of precautions taken, children will
play around the float for the sea has a fascination all
its own, especially during these wonderful summer days.
Better still, life preservers could be placed along the
railroad trestle and dock at intervals. A life might be
saved.

of Independence authorizes the pursuit of Alaskan's
