Daniel Thomas Quigley, M. D.
Scientific and Medical Knowledge Humanized
IN seeking someone to interpret some recent medical discoveries for the layman, The Redpath Bureau considers itself extremely fortunate in securing for the lecture platform a distinguished physician and surgeon, Dr. Daniel Thomas Quigley, instructor in surgery at the College of Medicine of the University of Nebraska and surgeon to the Lutheran Hospital of Omaha.  Dr. Quigley was for a number of years director of the Radium Hospital of Omaha, where he personally studied and treated 6,000 cancer cases.  Dr. Quigley was one of the first users and owners of radium in America.

Vitamins and Life is the title of one of Dr. Quigley's lectures that has been received with unusual favor by both lay and medical organizations.  This lecture is the summing up of all the present knowledge of vitamins and it leads to some startling conclusions.  Dr. Quigley points out that practically all civilized peoples are living on deficient foods and that many of the most serious diseases threatening civilized peoples are in a great measure caused by these food deficiencies. There has been much discussion and controversy on the subject of vitamins. This lecture gives scientific facts without any commercial bias.

Dr. Quigley says that eighty percent of our school children have rickets — a Vitamin D deficiency.  A large proportion have tuberculosis, also a Vitamin D deficiency.

The wearing of eye-glasses is becoming more and more necessary.  Tonsil and sinus diseases are quite universal.  These are, in part at least, Vitamin A deficiencies.

It is also well established that the popularity of yeast is due to the fact that it contains Vitamin B for which the ordinary individual is starved.  Constipation is an almost universal disease among civilized peoples, and is in most cases a Vitamin B starvation.

Another almost universal disease is tooth decay and pyorrhea.  Hanke of Chicago University and Eddy of Columbia University have found this to be due to a deficiency of Vitamin C.

Vitamin E is that vitamin which controls the processes of reproduction.  This vitamin seems also to be very much lacking in the average diet.

One of the most striking factors with the subject of vitamins, Dr. Quigley finds, is that a lack of these elements in the food renders a person susceptible to infections—like the common cold which leads to influenza, grip, bronchitis and pneumonia.

Dr. Quigley says that it is a well known fact that cancer is a disease that grows on a previously diseased area.  It never grows on a healthy part of the body.  The person who lives on a high-vitamin diet does not carry around old, chronic, low-grade infections.

Dr. Quigley believes that cancer and other chronic death producing diseases of middle age may be prevented and in some instances cured by rather simple methods.  The recommendations made are strictly based on the findings of modern scientific workers and are proven facts, not theories.  The conclusions reached are simply the practical application of, and the humanizing of the very latest scientific medical discoveries.  Some of the conclusions are of the greatest interest in the matter of the future of the nation and civilized races as a whole, but they are backed by proven scientific facts which may be profitably applied in the every day life of individuals of any age.

Dr. Quigley is a graduate of the Rush Medical College of Chicago; spent a year in the study of cancer and other chronic diseases in Vienna, Berlin, Paris and London; and as stated above was one of the first owners and users of radium in America.  He is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons; Fellow of the American Medical Association; Fellow of the American College of Radiology; Member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; Member of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences; Member of the Radiological Society of North America; Member of the American Radium Society, etc.  He has written widely for medical and scientific journals.  His book—The Conquest of Cancer by Radium and Other Methods—is used by physicians and surgeons of England, Germany, Canada, as well as U. S.

Dr. Quigley is not new to the lecture platform.  For a number of years he was one of the lecturers for the American Medical Association Lecture Bureau.  He was always popular with the laity because he humanized what he said and made them understand.  When the American Medical Association met in Portland in 1929 his talk before the Rotarians was widely quoted by American newspapers.  He has given many addresses before college groups, teachers' institutes, men's clubs, women's clubs.  The interest is usually so great that the question period is always as long as the lecture.
