Abstract:
Philip S. Hench, M.D., Sc.D., was a co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine in 1950 for his research on hormones of the adrenal cortex. The high quality of his early clinical work can be seen in letters he wrote to a family practitioner in the 1920s concerning patients who had been referred to Mayo Clinic. His letters also included detailed advice for the optimal management at that time of arthritic conditions.
