saving of lives is ulti mate factor in research asserts dr mccoy in his lecture thursday health director discusses types of laboratory work in medical research it is neces sary for the individual worker to put aside all thoughts of personal gain and since human life is in volved the ultimate saving of lives is the only factor to be considered explained dj george w mccoy last night before a group of 600 in packard auditorium dr mccoy's lecture our na tional defense against disease was sponsored ky the lehigh chap ter of sigma xi national honorary research fraternity dr mccoy is director of the na tional institute of health of the united states public health ser vice he has held this position since 1915 he is an authority on bu bonic plague and leprosy his or ganization consists of more than 5,000 scientific workers who spend most of their time in the field they travel around the country to study any peculiar cases of disease which may occur in this way they are able to check the spread of conta gious diseases and apply remedies to prevent epidemics paralysis case explained one interesting case of the wide spread occurrence of paralysis was cited by dr mccoy he explained how people in a certain community were drinking a product to obtain the 75 per cent of alcohol it con tained in a short time 10,000 cases of paralysis had developed the national institute studied this af fliction determined the source and succeded in wiping out the epide mic this could not happen in pennsylvania dr mccoy added because people around here do not find it necessary to seek alcohol in substitutes dr mccoy explained that there are three methods in which the in stitute may become involved in medical problems first the prob lem may be thrust upon them for example cases of what seemed to be infantile paralysis in chickens were brought to the laboratories this was later found to be an en tirely new disease peculiar to chick ens epidemics bring work in the second case an epidemic may break out the government service steps in and applies modern medicine to the aflicted area the third method is pure re search this work is planned ahead and is carried on during periods of relative inactivity it is done with little or no regard for immediate practical value dr mccoy briefly mentioned his own works however he spent very little time on them and only dis cussed his research on parrot fever after the lecture dr mccoy de fended the use of animals in medi cal research he explained that it is absolutely necessary to experiment upon some living thing and since it is impossible to use the human body it is essential that animals be used never he concluded was there an animal used which did not contribute in part to the advance ment of medical science gen malone plans to view
