Subject: Dr. Charles M. Carpenter
John,so
I am reading an interesting book, "Men Against Death," by Paul De Kruif, which has interesting chapters that sort of bum out the story/progress of research regarding certain diseases. This book was written in the 1920s.
Dr. Carpenter is mentioned in the chapter regarding undulant fever.............
Will send a tiny quote which might help you to identify this guy. He does not play a huge role in this chapter, but this is a twinkle anyway, into who he is.
Chapter 5, page 163
"Now matters were coming to a head and at Ithica at Cornell University there was a young doctor, not of medicine, but of cows and philosophy-Charles M. Carpenter. He looked the young professor, yet you'd not consider him out of place driving into town on a wagon-load of turnips. He was an excellent pathologist and knew the ins and outs of the comfortable groove he was working in. It chanced that a Danish boy (working his way through college) lived at Carpenter's and this boy was now sick."
This goes on to say that Carpenter diagnosed the boy but was laughed at, as was most anyone who provided proof against current thinking................I say, this is classic story re. trying to make progress.
(Maybe I didn't tell you that my daughter is an epidemiologist and folks are not really interested in her research/findings regarding pot and testicular cancer..........the horns, etc.)
Anyway,
if you have any interest in a copy of this chapter, Charles sort of fades and not much more said, I will be glad to copy it and send it to you for your records..........or whatever. Let me know if you want it.
And Merry Christmas, I plan to go to LA and then on to Cabo for a month, then back to LA for a spell, this Jan/Feb.

Evans' theories about brucellosis and raw cow's milk were starting to become accepted internationally. Microbiologists from Holland, Austria, Italy, Germany, and Tunisia confirmed her findings. Evans expanded her research to include studying the blood of people ill with brucellosis. Helping Evans' case in the U.S. were Dr. Walter Simpson of Dayton, Ohio, who traced 70 cases of undulant fever to raw cow's milk, and Dr. Charles M. Carpenter, who identified dozens of cases in Ithaca, New York. Evans wrote a paper defending her work, which was presented at the World Dairy Congress in 1923.

BIO:
Charles Milton Carpenter, Infectious Diseases: Los Angeles and Berkeley
1895-1966
Professor Emeritus
Research Oncologist
The career of Charles Carpenter reflects the growth of a scientist from humble beginnings through almost half a century of great change in scientific concepts and methods in his field of interest.
He was born on August 8, 1895, in the foothill farmland of Central New York State. His parents, Thomas Burt and Charlotte Dean Carpenter, were God-fearing farm folk of modest means who believed in hard work and constant self-improvement. Gifted with dogged persistence and tremendous physical energy, Charles determined to break away from the stoop labor required by the farming of his parents' day. He entered Cornell's New York State Veterinary College and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 1917. In that same year he married Emma Louise Buckham and one daughter was later born of the union.
He served his Alma Mater for one year as Instructor in the Department of Veterinary Obstetrics and Diseases of Breeding Animals and for another year in Comparative Pathology and Bacteriology. Investigation of the serious problem of diseases related to abortion in meat animals resulted in publication of his Master's thesis in 1918 and his Ph.D. thesis in 1921. He was appointed Acting Professor of Bacteriology at Cornell, 1921-22, and Acting Associate Professor of Bacteriology
― 21 ―
at UC, Berkeley, 1922-23. By 1922 he had proved conclusively that scours disease in ewes and cattle was due to Brucella abortus; that calves were infected by drinking infected milk; that cattle could be infected by infected food and water (with G. H. Hart); and that the vaccination of cows with living cultures of the bacteria might be a useful preventive measure.
He returned to Cornell Veterinary College in 1923 as Assistant Professor of Pathology and Bacteriology and Director of Laboratory Diagnosis. Here in the State University laboratory he had access to bountiful resource materials for his research and had contact with the State Department of Health and the New York City Health Department, as well as with physicians who had cases of undulant fever among human patients. In 1924 he reported Brucella abortus in marketed milk and with V. A. Moore, M.D., in 1926, reported the finding of Brucella abortus in six human cases of undulant fever, presumably of milk-borne origin. Six papers out of thirty-seven published before 1929 were authored jointly with Ruth Boak, a research and teaching collaborator for the next forty years.
Two research projects published with Ruth Boak in 1928 and 1929 proved to be a turning point in his scientific direction. The first determined the “thermal death point” in seven Brucella abortus cultures obtained from milk and from the feces of human cases at fifteen minutes at 140°F (60°C) and from a pig foetus at twenty minutes. The second paper dealt with the application of alternating electric current as a method of heating raw milk for pasteurization and demonstrated complete destruction of tubercle bacilli added to the milk by temperatures of 155°F and 160°F.
Although Carpenter had received research funds from the New York City Health Department, Bellevue Hospital, and the U. S. Hygienic Laboratory, and had small grants from the Heckscher Fund and from the Metropolitan Life Insurance
― 22 ―
Company, now he needed more research money to proceed with the study of pasteurization of milk by electrical heating. He applied for help to Dr. W. R. Whitney, Director of the Research Laboratories of the General Electric Company. The result was a lifetime friendship with Dr. Whitney and the offer of a very substantial grant if Carpenter and Boak would transfer to the Albany Medical School as medical students with appointments as Research Fellows and as Bacteriologists to the Albany Hospital, to work specifically on the fever-producing properties of the 30-meter high-frequency generator recently developed in the General Electric Company laboratories.
It was proposed to test the effects of machine-made fever on acute syphilis in rabbits and, daringly enough, on central nervous system syphilis in man. Laboratories were made available in the Albany Medical School and the Albany Hospital, and clinical material at the Ellis Hospital at Schenectady and later at the New York Psychiatric Institute and Hospital (with Leland E. Hinsie, M.D.). Such integration of laboratory and clinical experiments was unusual for that day. The objective in both the animal and human experiments was to imitate the febrile paroxysms of tertian malaria which had been demonstrated by Wagner von Jauregg to be beneficial in treating paretics. Carpenter's results were favorable enough to warrant further experimentation.
In 1930 Carpenter transferred to the Department of Radiology at the University of Rochester, N.Y., to form a team with Ruth Boak, F. W. Bishop, and S. L. Warren which, under a Rockefeller Foundation grant, studied the physiological effects of fever temperatures. The work resulted in extensive knowledge of the biology and physiology of infectious organisms and their susceptibility to high temperatures, but the development of the difficult and hazardous techniques of artificial fever therapy was fortunately made unnecessary
― 23 ―
about 1940 by the convenient use of penicillin in syphilis and the sulphanilamide in gonorrhea.
Carpenter received his M.D. degree at Rochester in 1933 and became Associate Professor of Bacteriology and Director of the Rochester Health Bureau Laboratories. In 1936 he became Consultant to the U. S. Public Health Service, a relationship which lasted throughout the rest of his life. During a year's leave of absence, 1940-41, he obtained his Master's degree in Public Health at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. While based at Rochester he did extensive work on leprosy and organized a survey of venereal disease in the isolated communities of Brunswick and Sea Island, Georgia, and in Jacksonville, Florida. During the war years he continued to work on venereal disease for the Committee on Medical Research of the National Research Council. As a civilian consultant in 1945-46 with the rank of Colonel, he was sent by the Army to investigate the treatment failures in venereal disease among troops in Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. His wife died during the war period (1944), his daughter had married, and he was very much alone.
In 1947, Dr. Carpenter was appointed Chairman of the Department of Infectious Diseases in the new Medical School at UCLA. This title for the Department was a departure from the old line “Bacteriology Department” since the Department curriculum now had to cover all types of infectious agents and the concept that the host was equally or more important than the parasite to an understanding of infectious diseases. After considerable discussion with UC, San Francisco, it was conceded that a divisional structure was appropriate which identified areas of Virology, Tropical Medicine and Parasitology, Mycology, as well as General Bacteriology, and Dr. Carpenter built these into his early Department. Dr. Carpenter contributed to the organization and design of the Medical School and particularly to the new animal quarters. He was Chairman of the Animal Care Committee
― 24 ―
for many years and was a leading force in the Medical Research Association of California in setting standards for animal care and in fighting the antivivisectionists.
Great efforts were needed to obtain gifts for special equipment not provided for in state funds, and the all-important electron microscope laboratory was eventually provided by the Hitachi Company of Japan and by the Nina Anderton Foundation. Other equipment was supplied by the Harry N. Falk Research Fund. The collaboration of advanced students from UCLA and visiting foreign students extended the research staff of the Department of Infectious Diseases, and laboratory facilities were offered by Veterans' Administration hospitals in the San Fernando Valley and later in Long Beach.
Throughout the years Dr. Carpenter maintained his interest in brucellosis research. Under the auspices of the Del Amo Foundation, he took the new Brucella abortus vaccine prepared by Gamma-irradiation to the Minister of Health of Spain (1958-59) for trial in the north country where undulant fever was extensive among goats. The results were so encouraging that he later took the vaccine to Korea (1960) and to Indonesia (1960). He was officially commended by these governments for his work. As a direct result of his foreign visits, some twenty-eight advanced students and faculty members came from these countries to work in his programs (1947-66). Twenty-five of them have returned home to teach and carry on the research started here with Carpenter.
In 1955 he began to work on the immunological aspects of cancer. In the search for an isolated, stable community, Sheridan, Wyoming, was chosen for a long-term testing program with the help of funds from the U. S. Public Health Service, the California Institute for Cancer Research, and the Whedon Foundation. A ten-year study has been carried on there and, in parallel, among the lung cancer patients at the
― 25 ―
Long Beach Veterans Hospital. Just before retirement he initiated an extensive study of the role of the tobacco mosaic virus in lung cancer and was in the midst of correlating the findings on the day of his death, March 25, 1966.
He was a strong advocate of the development of a full-scale School of Public Health and its integration with the Medical School and campus. He concerned himself with the possible relationships of the Los Angeles City and County Health Departments and of the other groups engaged with public health programs in the community as teaching and research resources for his department and the future School of Public Health.
Upon retirement in 1962 Carpenter was appointed Research Oncologist in the School of Public Health and continued to direct the Evelyn Castera Cancer Research Laboratory. He retained his consultantships at the Long Beach Veterans Hospital, with the Sixth Army Area Medical Laboratory, U. S. Public Health Service, and with the Los Angeles City Health Department.
Dr. Charlie had a friendly gregariousness, an earthy simplicity, and a dedication and sincerity which endeared him to students, colleagues, and laymen wherever he went. He was an Elder in the Westwood Hills Christian Church, a painter of considerable merit, and a collector of ancient coins and rare medical books. He prepared a record in motion picture and tape of the development of the UCLA Medical School which unfortunately was consumed with his home in the great Bel Air fire of 1961. He was a charter member of the Society for the History of Medical Science and active in a fantastic number of professional societies, committees, and boards. With his charming second wife, Christine Thackston Carpenter, whom he married in 1947, he was active in the social life of campus and community.
He left a department firmly committed to the importance of the host-parasite relationship in infectious diseases, a concept
― 26 ―
which he had vigorously promoted throughout his scientific life. Thus passed an era of great change and a man who kept abreast of his time, leaving a good heritage for a new era.

DEATH:
In 2004 "they found I had colon cancer. They removed half my colon and said that if I took chemo for 6 months it might not come back. Well, I took chemo 4 times, it almost killed me.
Well, it came back. Not only my colon but my prostate, liver, etc. Guess it spread. Doctor says I don't have long to live. So, guess that's the bottom line John, I'm dying. And boy it sure is painful but guess there's nothing they can do for me... You see I also had a heart operation years ago so I have to take coumadin, a blood thinner... this makes me bleed more. Plus I have diabetes... Sucks to die at 58 years old..." November 4, 2005.
