Lawless, Dermatologist, Has Fine Record At Northwestern Univ. transportation and the discoveries of research chemists have combined to make the work of skin specialists a steadily changing one, according to Dr. Theodore K. Lawless of Chicago. Dr.

Lawless, who is regarded as one of the outstanding dermatologists, recently told of his work in the study and treatment of skin diseases. The speed of modern travel, he says, has spread throughout the world diseases which once were confined to certain localities. And research chemists have developed some processes which are harmful to the skin of persons employed in many industrial fields. Skin specialists find it necessary to discover methods of treatment for these new disorders. Haw He Entered Medicine.

Dr. Lawless, a Negro, waa born 46 ago In New Orleans, the aon of a Congregational minister. He studied at Talladega college, Talladega. where he did painting aAd decorating and watched over a herd of prize hogs to earn his way. He rode into medicine, he saya, on the back of a hog.

because he first developed his interest In that Held while helping a physician (not a veterinarian! care ill. After being graduated from Talladega college, he attended the University of Kansas at which lie stumbled on while working In the western wheat fields. Two years later he came to Chicago and entered Northwestern university, where he decided to specialize In skin diseases. He was graduated from the medical school there in 1919. and did post graduate work at Columbia university.

During Dr. years fsf study ajid practice he has, he thinks, seen or treated persons 300 of the 363 or so known skin diseases, both here and abroad. He says, rather unhappily, that there are some South African diseases he has never seen. His Chicago patients, who number more than 150.000 for the last fifteen years, have included some with unusual diseases. Ten of them had leprosy, and one had an Hast Indian disease known as leLshmaniosis.

Tropical diseases are more common in New York or Paris tHan here, he says. Medical Errors Corrected He cured one hoy in the east of lefshmanlosis who had been mistakenly treated for tuberculosis of the skin for more than a year. And a south side Chicago doctor, who had been treating a patient was so surprised he fainted when Dr. Lawless Informed hint the patient had leprosy. People come to see hint from atl over this country, as well as from the West Indies.

Cuba, Panama, France, England. Haiti and British Guiana. Surprisingly enough, none of the patients from the tropics suffered from tropical diseases. In one case a man suffering front what he had told was an in-! curable skin disease in the region of the lower spine was cured when I Dr. lawless observed his sitting pasture.

I)p. Lawless says there are two main types of skin disorders, those representing poor general health and thosf coming from an outward irritant. Many skin diseases In women lie blames on the last pace of modem life. Including smoking, drinking, an I trying to keep up with the social whirl.
