DR. HOWARD A. KELLY 
PROFESSOR OF GYNECOLOGY IN THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNI- 
VERSITY AND GYNECOLOGIST-IN-CHIEF TO THE 
JOHNS HOPKINS HOSPITAL 
By Thomas S. Cullen 
Howard Atwood Kelly was born in Camden, New Jersey, on 
February 20, 1858. He received his bachelor's degree at the 
University of Pennsylvania in 1877 and graduated in medicine 
from the same university in 1882. He settled in Philadelphia 
and early attracted attention by his marked success in hand- 
ling cases theretofore supposed to be inoperable. 
During the year 1882-83 Dr. Kelly, while a resident phy- 
sician in the Episcopal Hospital, built up a remarkably good 
gynecological dispensary clinic, demonstrating what might be 
accomplished by paying especial attention to this group of 
hitherto much neglected cases. After his interneship was com- 
pleted he began practice in an office on West Front Street in 
Philadelphia, and established a modest hospital on D Street 
consisting of two rooms on the second floor of a two-story 
house; Mrs. Wood, the wife of a working-man, taking care of 
the patients. 
In 1884 the young surgeon removed his hospital to a three- 
story house on Cumberland Street, and a year and a half later 
to Norris Square to a four-story house on Diamond Street. 
Here the new hospital grew rapidly and became the Kensing- 
ton Hospital. Established in 1883, it was incorporated in 
1887, and has been supported by voluntary contributions. At 
this period Dr. Kelly took up his residence on Hancock Street 
across the square from the hospital. 
Dr. Kelly has always been an indefatigable worker and his 
early labors in Philadelphia, especially in the Kensington 
Hospital, are vividly remembered to this day. Thus, when an 
important post became vacant in the University of Pennsyl- 
[287] 
1 [287] 
vania and several men were being considered for the position, 
Dr. Osler, when asked whom he favored, replied, " I am 
backing the Kensington colt."1 With his characteristic ex- 
cellent judgment of men, he had picked out Dr. Kelly as a man 
of exceptional promise and it was little wonder that a short 
time later Kelly was called from the University of Pennsyl- 
vania to The Johns Hopkins Hospital to become its first pro- 
fessor of gynecology and obstetrics. 
Kelly went abroad for the first time in 1886, visiting Eng- 
land, Scotland and Germany. Among the well-known men 
whom he met were: Brennecke, in Magdeburg; Sanger, in 
Leipzig; Schroeder and Martin, in Berlin; Fehling, in Basle; 
Hegar, in Freiburg; Koeberle, in Strasburg; and Berry Hart, 
in Edinburgh. 
While in England Dr. Kelly attended the meeting of the 
British Medical Association at Brighton. Lawson Tait gave 
the address on surgery; his topic was gall-bladder surgery. 
Kelly was invited to take part in the proceedings of the gyne- 
cological section and reported a case in which he had diagnosed 
and removed an unruptured extra-uterine pregnancy. Tait, 
who at this period was studying extra-uterine cases, in dis- 
cussion claimed that the diagnosis was a matter of " expert 
instinct " and therefore hardly attainable by the average man. 
Kelly in reply pointed out that in his case the signs were: 
[288] 
[287] 
1 Since the above was written the following note has been re- 
ceived by L>r. Hurd from Dr. Osler: 
"The circumstances were, these: Goodell had resigned, and 
there was no end of discussion as to who should take his place. 
On several occasions I had gone to Kensington to see Kelly oper- 
ate, and 1 happened to mention to Pepper that I had never seen 
anybody do abdominal work with the same skill. He knew of 
Kelly, but had not, I believe, seen him operate, which he imme- 
diately arranged to do. Then one evening at the Biological Club, 
Horatio Wood and Mitchell were discussing Goodell's successor, 
and I said that Pepper and I were backing a dark horse-a Ken- 
sington colt. With that, Leidy chipped in with a remark that if 
it was young Howard Kelly, his former prosector, he would back 
him heartily. This is how I remember the story. 
" How extraordinarily successful he has been! Only those of us 
who know the work as it was, realize how much the profession 
(and the public) owes to such men as Kelly." 
2 a definite cessation of the menses, a small tumor to the right 
of the uterus, gradually increasing in size month by month 
and very tender, followed by a cessation of growth and a 
gradual shrinkage; at operation an unruptured right tubal 
pregnancy was found. Tait remarked that he did not concur 
in the " cock-sure diagnosis " of the young man and made light 
of his communication. Thus, early in his career, the future 
leader of American gynecology had an encounter with the 
then dominant figure in abdominal surgery in England. 
In 1888 he again visited Europe, this time in company with 
Hunter Robb and Constantine Goodell. In Berlin he met 
Virchow, secured permission to work on cadavers in the 
Charite and spent much time in determining from an ana- 
tomical standpoint just how the ureters could best be cathe- 
terized. From Berlin the party went to Prague and saw 
Pawlik catheterize the ureters through the water-filled bladder. 
In 1889 he returned to Germany on a still more important 
mission. On June 27, he was married to Letitia Bredow in the 
Danzig Cathedral. 
In 1888 Dr. Kelly was appointed associate professor of 
obstetrics in the University of Pennsylvania and held this 
position until his departure for Baltimore, in 1889. 
In 1889, at the age of 31, he entered upon his duties as 
professor of gynecology and obstetrics in The Johns Hopkins 
University and as gynecologist and obstetrician-in-chief to 
The Johns Hopkins Hospital. At that time The Johns Hop- 
kins Medical School was still a thing of the future, but the 
hospital and pathological laboratory were already giving 
courses to a large number of medical men and surgeons who 
came to do postgraduate work. 
In these early days Dr. Kelly's hospital work was limited ex- 
clusively to gynecology, for as yet no accommodations had been 
supplied for obstetrical cases. With the opening of the medical 
school in 1893 it became imperative to provide facilities for 
caring for obstetrical patients. This branch was gradually 
developed by the efforts of Dr. J. Whitridge Williams, and 
in 1899 the two important branches, gynecology and obstetrics, 
were separated and became independent departments. From 
then on Dr. Kelly concentrated all his endeavors to the develop- 
[288] 
3 ment of gynecology. Garrison terms Professor Kelly" a recog- 
nized leader of his science in America." He adds: 
He was a pioneer in the use of cocaine anesthesia (1884), in the 
treatment of retroflexion of the uterus by suspension (1887), in 
the introduction of the operations of nephro-ureterectomy, nephro- 
ureterocystectomy, vertical bisection of the cervix for tumors and 
inflammation, and ideal appendectomy; the procedures of aero- 
scopic examination of the bladder and catheterization of the 
ureters, exploration of the rectum and sigmoid flexure, diagnosis 
of ureteral and renal calculi by wax-tipped bougies, diagnosis of 
hydronephrosis by injection and measurement of the capacity of 
the renal pelvis, operation on the kidney by the superior lumbar 
triangle, treatment of malignant tumors by radium, and various 
improvements in the treatment of vesico-vaginal fistulae. He is 
the inventor of the Kelly pad, new rectal and vesical specula, and 
his Operative Gynecology (1898) and Medical Gynecology (1908), 
both illustrated with Max Brbdel's drawings, are full of improve- 
ments in the science which have made these books among the best 
American Treatises of the time. 
He is also known by his valuable historical contributions on 
hypnotism, American gynecology, appendicitis, vesico-vaginal 
fistula, medical botanists, medical illustration, and American 
medical biography (1912). His "Stereo-Clinic" (1910-13) is a 
permanent photographic record of recent surgical procedures. 
The tendency of recent gynecology to become merged into gen- 
eral abdominal surgery has been wittily signalized by Dr. Kelly 
as follows: 
"The vital question which now affects gynecology is this: Is 
she destined to live a spinster all her days? For we see her on one 
hand courted by her obstetrical ancestor, who seeks to draw her 
once more into an unholy, unfruitful alliance, destined to rob her 
of virility, to be rocked into innocuous desuetude for the rest of 
her days in the obstetric cradle, sucking the withered ancestral 
finger in the vain hope of nourishment (with apology for mixed 
metaphor). On the other hand, we see her wooed by a vigorous, 
manly suitor, General Surgery, seeking to allure her from her 
autonomy into his own house, under his own name, obliterating 
her identity." 2 
No one connected with The Johns Hopkins Hospital has 
written more or has added more to the knowledge of his 
department than has Dr. Kelly. A glance at his bibliography 
will give the reader a fair idea of the magnitude of his work.

4 Dr. Kelly at 31, when he entered upon his duties as Professor of 
Gynecology and Obstetrics in The Johns Hopkins University, and as 
Gynecologist and Obstetrician-in-Chief to The Johns Hopkins Hospital. 
DR. HOWARD A. KELLY. Here it is only possible to mention his more important papers. 
The first article from his pen was entitled " Some Rare and 
New Anomalies in Man; with Three Cases of Double Femoral 
Artery" (1882). 
Among his subsequent papers we find " An Ovarian Cyst 
Weighing One Hundred and Sixteen Pounds Successfully Re- 
moved "(1885); " Hysterorrhaphy "(1886) ; "Extra-Uterine 
Pregnancy" (1886); "Asepsis Not Antisepsis" (1886); 
" Caesarean Section " (1888); and " Palpation of the Ureters 
in the Female" (1888). 
In The Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin of January, 
1890, appears his article on " Hysterorrhaphy." This operation 
was a marked improvement on the method hitherto employed 
to hold up the retroverted or retroflexed uterus, and remained 
in vogue for nearly 20 years, after which Dr. Kelly himself 
abandoned it for the improved method of shortening the round 
ligaments-a method which holds the uterus up equally well 
and which is rarely, if ever, followed by difficulties at child- 
birth. 
From his article " The Gynecological Operating Room in 
The Johns Hopkins Hospital, and the Antiseptic and Aseptic 
Rules in Force," published in 1890, we get a pleasant glimpse 
of the plan of procedure followed in the pioneer days of the 
hospital. One can hardly realize that at that time after nearly 
every abdominal operation a glass drainage-tube was used for 
several days and that each day this glass tube was not only 
pumped out with a syringe to which a rubber tube was 
attached, but once a day the tube was turned around in order 
that the omentum might not insinuate itself through the small 
holes in it and become fixed. 
Dr. Kelly's interest in the ureteral work continued and in 
1892 we find a paper entitled " My Recent Ureteral Work." 
In 1892 he devoted much time to the study of the bladder and 
ureter and in these investigations he was assisted by Albert L. 
Stavely, William W. Russell, Thomas S. Cullen and John G. 
Clark. 
The Bulletin for 1893 contains the results of his labors 
under the title " The Examination of the Female Bladder and 
the Catheterization of the Ureters under Direct Inspection." 
[288] 
[289] 
5 [289] 
For years he had been catheterizing the ureters with varying 
success by palpation, or as he called it by the " fishing 
method." Dissatisfied, however, with this relatively blind 
method, he decided to put the patient in the knee-chest posture 
and introduce a tube into the bladder hoping that this viscus 
would balloon out as the vagina does when the speculum is 
introduced. This procedure succeeded admirably and he was 
able to see clearly not only the ureteral orifices, but also nearly 
all parts of the bladder. At once he grasped the possibilities 
of this method of studying the bladder and ureters in women 
and immediately developed and perfected the necessary instru- 
ments. This armamentarium was so complete that hardly 
another instrument, vesical or ureteral, has been added since. 
To Dr. Kelly alone belongs the credit of not only discovering, 
but also of working out in detail this fundamental and im- 
portant method of gaining an insight into the secrets of the 
bladder, ureters and kidneys. The procedure has been adopted 
throughout the world.3 
Profiting by his experience in distending the bladder with 
air when the patient was in the knee-chest posture, he applied 
the same principle to the inspection of the rectum, and find- 
ing the exposure equally good he had a series of proctoscopes 
made. These varied in length and caliber and enabled the 
surgeon to inspect the rectum and sigmoid for a distance of 
from eight to ten inches and to bring clearly into view patho- 
logical conditions that otherwise would have been overlooked. 
Proctologists agree that the Kelly method has aided them 
greatly in the study and treatment of diseases of the rectum.4 
In no department of abdominal surgery has there been 
greater advance than in the handling of uterine myomata. 
In the early days of the hospital it was customary to place a 
rubber ligature around the growth and then cut the tumor 
a.way. Sometimes the stump would slip through the rubber 
ligature and alarming hemorrhage would follow. Many sur- 
geons must be credited with a share in simplifying the

Journal of Obstetrics for 1894.

6 technique of removing the myomatous uterus, but Kelly's " left 
and right method " must be regarded as one of the most im- 
portant advances in the simplification of such hysterectomy 
cases/ 
In The Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin of 1898 there 
appeared an article by Dr. Kelly entitled " The Catheteriza- 
tion of the Ureters in the Male through an Open Cystoscope 
with the Bladder Distended with Air by Posture." The 
cystoscope was similar to his female cystoscope, but a good deal 
longer. With this instrument the late Dr. James Brown, a 
pioneer urologist, demonstrated catheterization of the ureters 
in the male before The Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical 
Society. 
Probably one of the most practical operations independently 
devised by Dr. Kelly was the apron method6 of treating com- 
plete perineal tears. I say independently, because in the 
American Journal of Obstetrics, 1899, XL, 515, Dr. Kelly 
says: " I find, through the kindness of Dr. Chadwick, that 
Dr. Warren has some time since described the apron method 
of treating complete tears and I desire to accord him full 
credit." 
In 1899 Dr. Kelly digressed to write a paper on " The 
Recognition of the Poisonous Serpents of North America." 
He had long been interested in snakes and for several years 
many of his visitors had entered his library on Eutaw Place 
very cautiously, not knowing just what surprise might be in 
store for them. No one who was at that memorable meeting 
of The Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical Society the night he 
spoke on snakes will ever forget the tenseness of the audience; 
some of the brave ones sat up near the front apparently un- 
concerned, while the more timid migrated to the back seats, 
some actually sitting on the backs of the seats. When Dr. Kelly 
grasped a large diamond-headed rattler by the nape of the 
[289] 
5 For a detailed description of this method see: "Hysterec- 
tomy and Hystero-Salpingo-Oophorectomy by Continuous Incision 
from Left to Right or from Right to Left." J. H. H. Bulletin, 
1896. 
°This method was described in the Journal of the American 
Medical Association, 1898, XXXI, 1469. 
7 [289] 
neck with his left hand, held the tail in his right hand and with 
the index finger of his right hand pointed out the more im- 
portant marks on the snake's head, a shudder ran through the 
audience. A sigh of relief was clearly audible when the snake 
had been put back into the bag. At this moment, however, 
through the bag it bit Dr. Kelly's finger and the audience 
awaited breathlessly and in alarm for the after effects. 
Dr. Kelly sucked his finger, looked very pale, but went right 
along with his talk. In a few minutes the meeting closed and 
he returned home none the worse for his experience. A few 
hours before the meeting the snake had been teased and had 
discharged nearly all, if not all, of its venom. 
In 1899 Dr. Kelly published a timely paper entitled " The 
Exploration of the Abdomen as an Adjunct to Every Celi- 
otomy." We now know that when the abdomen is opened it 
should be most carefully explored to see that no pathological 
lesion has been overlooked. In 1899 few realized how essential 
was a systematic examination of the abdominal cavity. 
In 1900 he published another epoch-making paper entitled 
"Ureteral Calculus; its Diagnosis by Means of the Wax- 
Tipped Bougie, Escape of the Calculus per vias naturales After 
Forcible Dilatation of the Ureteral Orifice." Here was a 
method that gave positive evidence in the majority of cases 
when a stone was present in the ureter and usually when one 
existed in the pelvis or in the kidney. At the present day the 
X-ray will generally reveal stones in the kidney, in the pelvis 
and in the ureter, but every now and then the wax-tip will show 
a tell-tale scratch-mark when the X-ray has failed to give any 
evidence of the existing calculus. The Kelly scratch-mark 
method is a most valuable detector of stone; it is here to stay. 
In the past nearly all pelvic surgeons have encountered dense 
pelvic inflammatory masses so glued to one another and to the 
pelvic wall that their removal has been fraught with the 
greatest difficulty. In 1900, under the title " The Removal of 
Pelvic Inflammatory Masses by the Abdomen after Bisection 
of the Uterus," Dr. Kelly gave us a method that enables us to 
'handle otherwise inoperable cases? 
[290] 
1 After publication of the approved method, Dr. Kelly found that 
his procedure had been anticipated by Dr. J. L. Faure, of Paris. 
His method, however, was devised without any knowledge of 
Dr. Faure's work. 
8 In 1910 Dr. Kelly contributed to Surgery, Gynecology and 
Obstetrics a paper entitled " Lipectomy, an Operation for 
Removal of Redundant Fat from the Abdominal Wall." In 
this operation a large wedge of the redundant fat is removed 
and the edges of the wound in the fat and skin are then 
approximated. While this simple operation has given many 
a patient physical relief, it has a more important sphere of 
usefulness. Take, for example, a patient with a superabun- 
dance of fat in the lower abdomen who may have at the same 
time a carcinoma of the body of the uterus. In order to expose 
the uterus satisfactorily a very long abdominal incision must 
be made and the distance from the surface to the pelvis is very 
great. By a preliminary lipectomy the thick abdomen is con- 
verted into a very thin one at the site of the operation and the 
uterus can then be removed with comparative ease. 
For years Dr. Kelly has been interested in the surgical treat- 
ment of cancer and was often troubled by the large number 
of inoperable cases presenting themselves in the clinic. He 
became impressed by the work of Wickham, who was a per- 
sonal friend, and within a short time began the use of radium. 
He presented a paper on radium at a meeting of the Baltimore 
Medical Society, April 11, 1913, which was published in the 
Maryland Medical Journal in June, 1913, under the title 
" A Talk on Radium." In International Clinics in 1914 we 
find another interesting article by Dr. Kelly entitled " What 
Radium can Do," and in the Journal of the American Medical 
Association of the same year, " Radium in the Treatment of 
Uterine Hemorrhage and Fibroid Tumors," by Dr. Kelly 
and Dr. Curtis F. Burnam. In the Journal of the American 
Medical Association in 1915 Kelly and Burnam gave their 
results with " Radium in the Treatment of Carcinomas of the 
Cervix Uteri and Vagina." In 1918, Professor Kelly con- 
tributed to Surgery, Gynecology and Obstetrics a paper en- 
titled " Two Hundred and Ten Fibroid Tumors Treated by 
Radium." 
From boyhood, Dr. Kelly has been greatly interested in 
natural history and in outdoor life and has been particularly 
fond of mineralogy. He spent several summers in Mexico 
looking carefully into the subject of mining and the extraction 
[290] 
9 [290] 
of precious metals. The knowledge thus obtained proved most 
valuable when it was definitely determined that there were 
deposits of radium in Colorado. Secretary Lane, of the De- 
partment of the Interior, was quick to see what an ample 
supply of radium would mean to the people of this country in 
the treatment of cancer. Dr. Kelly and Dr. James P. Douglas, 
of New York, undertook to extract radium from the Colorado 
deposits and Secretary Lane, with wise foresight, placed at 
their disposal the best brains of the mining experts in his 
department. Professor Joseph A. Holmes, head of the Bureau 
of Mines, rendered invaluable service in all phases of the 
project. 
Dr. Douglas gave his share of the radium thus obtained to 
the General Memorial Hospital of New York, and Dr. Kelly's 
share came to Baltimore. Kelly and his associate, Burnam, 
have five grams, the largest single supply of radium in the 
world. The Johns Hopkins Hospital is under many obliga- 
tions to them for their liberality in giving free radium treat- 
ment to many poor but worthy people who have needed such 
procedures at the hospital in recent years. 
Let us now turn to the books published by Dr. Kelly. In 
1898 there appeared from the Appleton press " Operative Gyne- 
cology," in two large volumes, which covered the subject in such 
a manner that it instantly commanded the attention of the 
surgical world both here and abroad. It was no stereotyped 
production; every page breathed the individuality of the 
author and portrayed his methods and his ideas. It also em- 
bodied the many new and improved operations that he had 
devised. 
Shortly after Kelly decided to publish " Operative Gyne- 
cology " he asked the late Professor Franklin P. Mall where 
he could procure a good artist and received the name of Max 
Brbdel, who had made excellent illustrations for Professor 
Karl Ludwig, the famous physiologist of Leipsic. In 1894 
he secured his services. Brbdel took hold with enthusiasm 
and with unusual fidelity pictured Kelly's operative pro- 
cedures and also the gross and microscopic specimens. Not 
only that, he brought into the pictures such a marked degree 
of artistic finish that the illustrations elicited unstinted praise. 
10 By this book the professor of gynecology, already well-known, 
became the recognized leader in his specialty, and Brbdel's 
illustrations set a new standard for medical illustrations in the 
United States. " Operative Gynecology " had numerous print- 
ings and a new edition appeared in 1906. 
In 1905 there appeared a large volume entitled " The 
Vermiform Appendix." The authors were Dr. Kelly and 
Dr. Elizabeth Hurd on. This work is a mine of information 
and the subject has been considered from every standpoint. 
It goes thoroughly into the pathology and describes the oper- 
ative technique in a lucid manner. Chapters on embryology 
and anatomy are furnished in large part by Max Brbdel, and 
there is an excellent bibliography. Altogether it is the best 
work that has ever appeared on the subject; in fact it is nearly 
the last word on the appendix. 
In 1906 Dr. Kelly's volume on "Walter Reed and Yellow 
Fever " was published. Those who were at The Johns Hop- 
kins Hospital in the early days really felt that Reed belonged 
to the Hopkins group. It was there that he worked with 
William H. Welch; it was there that we learned to love Reed, 
for his unassuming manner, his sterling worth and his delight- 
ful companionship. It seems but yesterday that we saw him 
at Union Station in Baltimore when he had come down from 
his summer home at Blue Ridge on his way to New York, 
there to catch the boat for Havana to study yellow fever. In 
one interested in the study of yellow fever, in the vicissitudes 
in the building of the Panama Canal, and in the life of the 
charming and brilliant scientist, this book will touch a sym- 
pathetic chord. To those of us who knew Reed it has been an 
inspiration. 
" Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery ", by Howard A. 
Kelly and Charles P. Noble, was published by Saunders. The 
first volume appeared in 1907, the second in 1908. The 
editors wrote extensively on the subjects in which they were 
particularly interested and for the remaining chapters were 
fortunate in securing surgeons peculiarly well adapted to 
treat of their special subjects. The chapters on gynecological 
pathology are especially valuable, being written by Dr. Eliza- 
beth Hurdon of the gynecological department of The Johns 
[290] 
[291] 
11 [291] 
Hopkins Hospital. " Kelly-Noble " has had an extensive and 
well-merited recognition by the profession. 
Dr. Kelly's " Medical Gynecology " appeared in 1908. It 
was a work of nearly seven hundred pages and was in reality 
the counterpart of " Operative Gynecology "; but it appealed 
more especially to the general practitioner. It contained much 
that was of necessity omitted in " Operative Gynecology "; it 
has had a wide distribution, numerous printings being re- 
quired and a second edition in 1912. 
In 1909 Kelly and Cullen published " Myomata of the 
Uterus," a volume of over seven hundred pages devoted to an 
analysis of nearly seventeen hundred cases of uterine myomata 
occurring in The Johns Hopkins Hospital and in other hos- 
pitals with which the authors were connected. The develop- 
ment of myomata, their various degenerations, the condition 
of the uterine mucosa and of the adnexa were thoroughly con- 
sidered, and the various operative procedures necessary were 
given in detail. The excellent drawings reproduced in this 
volume were made by Hermann Becker and August Horn. 
Kelly has always been interested in his fellow-men and 
particularly in those who have had a large share in bringing 
American medicine to the forefront. In his operating room he 
has had the rare privilege of coming in contact with physicians 
and surgeons from all parts of the country. In the social hours 
following the day's labor the conversation frequently drifted 
to a consideration of the lives of the outstanding men 
both past and present who had lived in. the neighborhood of 
his guests. As a result he decided to gather in book-form 
short biographies of the eminent medical men and enlisted the 
hearty co-operation of prominent persons in all parts of the 
country who helped him to obtain the names of deceased 
physicians and surgeons and often furnished sketches of their 
lives. 
The " Cyclopedia of American Medical Biography," com- 
prising the lives of about eleven hundred eminent deceased 
physicians and surgeons from 1610-1910, published in 1912, 
contains a wealth of material which will become more and 
more appreciated as the years pass. In a biography where 
many judges pass upon the names of those who should be 
12 included, some omissions are inevitable. Kelly has for several 
years been laboring industriously over a new edition. He has 
been most appreciative of the constructive criticism that has 
been accorded the first edition, as it has already enabled him to 
add a number of biographies omitted in the work when first 
published. The American profesison is under many obliga- 
tions to Dr. Kelly for gathering together in book-form the life 
histories of the medical men of the past, men of whom this 
country is so justly proud. 
Kelly's " History of Gynecology," found in his " Cyclopedia 
of American Medical Biography," is a notable piece of work. 
Dr. Garrison says of it: " The best account of American gyne- 
cology is the essay by Howard A. Kelly in the introduction 
to his ' Cyclopedia of American Medical Biography.' "8 
One hardly expects to find a surgeon writing on botany or 
botanists, but those who have been privileged to spend one or 
more summers with Dr. Kelly in the backwoods of Canada 
and have watched his enthusiasm in the study of plant and 
animal life were not surprised to see his attractive little book 
" Some American Medical Botanists in Our Botanical Nomen- 
clature," published in 1914. 
Long before Kelly came to Baltimore and while he was still 
laboring in Kensington he was deeply interested in the study 
of the bladder, ureter and kidney and from the preceding 
pages we have learned what a large share he has had in the 
development of bladder, ureteral and kidney surgery. As the 
years went on his interest in this field grew more intense and 
the results of his experience are to be found in " Diseases of 
the Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder, with Special Reference 
to the Diseases in Women," brought out by Dr. Kelly and 
Dr. Curtis F. Burnam in 1914. 
In the early days of the hospital Dr. Kelly became 
acquainted with Anthony S. Murray, an enthusiastic amateur 
photographer, who came to the hospital each operating day to 
photograph the various steps of the operation and frequently 
the pathological specimens. Mr. Murray was beloved by every 
one who came in contact with him and at once became an im- 
[291]

portant member of the happy gynecological family. Many of 
his photographs were used in Dr. Kelly's early papers and in 
articles published by other members of the staff. Mr. Murray 
also made many excellent lantern slides which were used in 
our teaching courses and at the various medical meetings. 
Dr. Kelly, largely as a result of Murray's enthusiasm and 
excellent work, became much impressed with the value of 
photography as an adjunct in teaching surgery and had stereo- 
pictures made, so that students could follow clearly the steps 
of the various operations. Finally, he decided that it would 
be an admirable idea to have the operations of individual 
operators photographed in this manner, and thus started the 
" Stereo-Clinics." The work of operators in various parts 
of the country has been brought out in stereo-form so that to 
date there have been 42 sections issued. These have been pub- 
lished by the Southworth Company under Dr. Kelly's direc- 
tion and have enabled many a surgeon in the quiet of his study 
to obtain a clear view of each step in a given operation. The 
idea proved most practical and the results have been beyond 
Dr. Kelly's sanguine expectations. In his enthusiastic prose- 
cution of this work he visited many parts of this country and 
also England and Scotland in search of interesting and in- 
structive subjects. 
One can never forget the delightful evenings of The Johns 
Hopkins Hospital Historical Society. In the early days meet- 
ings were held in the library of the hospital and later when 
the attendance increased, in a large room under Ward H. It 
was a rare privilege to listen to Osler, Welch, Kelly, and 
others who brought with them treasured volumes. After these 
had been described and passed around, the speaker usually 
gave a short account of the author, of the school with which 
he had been associated and frequently of his confreres. 
Dr. Kelly thus presented many books and read numerous 
papers before the Historical Society. 
Among the biographical sketches which he has published 
are: "Horatio Reese Holmes," 1897; "Jules Lemaire, the 
First to Recognize the True Nature of Wound Infection and 
Inflammation, and the First to Use Carbolic Acid in Medicine 
and Surgery," 1901; "James Carroll," 1908; "Frere 
14 Jacques," 1908; " Theodore Caldwell Janeway," 1918; 
" Joseph Price," 1918; and " A Tribute to Dr. W. W. Keen," 
1918. Kelly's paper on John R. Young attracted unusual 
attention, as few had any appreciation of the fundamental 
work that this Marylander had accomplished. Recently 
Dr. Kelly gave an interesting paper on Florence Nightingale 
and presented to The Johns Hopkins Training School for 
Nurses a richly bound volume containing seven of her unpub- 
lished letters. 
Dr. Kelly has been accorded distinguished recognition both 
in this country and abroad. He is an honorary fellow of the 
Chicago Gynecological Association; he was President of the 
Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association, one of the 
most active surgical societies in the United States, in 1907; 
President of the American Gynecological Society in 1912; Fel- 
low of the British Gynecological Society; Honorary Fellow of 
the Obstetrical Society of London,, of the Glasgow Obstetrical 
and Gynecological Society, of the Royal College of Surgeons, 
Edinburgh, and of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland. 
He is a member of the Association Frangaise d'Urologie, 
Paris; of the Societe d'Obstetrique, de Gynecologic et de 
Pediatrie de Paris, and of the Gesellschaft der Aerzte in 
Wien. He is honorary member of the Societa Italiana di 
Ostetricia e Ginecologia, Roma; of the Gesellschaft fur Ge- 
burtshiilfe zu Leipzig, and other societies. He was honored 
with an LL. D. by the University of Aberdeen in 1906, by the 
Washington and Lee University in 1906 and by his alma 
mater, the University of Pennsylvania, in 1907. 
Dr. Kelly's generosity has been strikingly shown in his 
gifts to The Johns Hopkins Hospital. In 1905 he learned 
that the extensive collection of portraits collected by the late 
Dr. G. F. Fisher, of Sing Sing, was offered for sale. Fisher, 
a medical historian, an eminent practitioner and collector of 
books, had also accumulated valuable engravings and portraits 
of the leaders in medicine both in this country and in the old 
world. His medical library was secured for Vassar Hospital 
and Dr. Kelly obtained the large collection of portraits and 
engravings and presented them to The Johns Hopkins 
Hospital. 
[292] 
15 [292] 
In 1897 Dr. Kelly gave to The Johns Hopkins Hospital 
the sum of $5000 for a much needed addition to the gyne- 
cological operating room. 
In 1901, in order to furnish additional accommodations for 
patients recovering from gynecological operations and to 
secure facilities for an examining room and laboratory in con- 
nection with the gynecological ward, Dr. Kelly, gave to the 
hospital the sum of $10,000. For two years Dr. Kelly also 
paid the salary of a visiting nurse for the care of patients 
discharged from the hospital. 
Probably the most valuable gift made by Dr. Kelly to The 
Johns Hopkins Hospital was that of a choice collection of 
books from his library. An extended reference to this gift 
appeared in The Johns Hopkins Hospital Bulletin, 1915, 
page 415, and is as follows: " During the past year, through 
the unparalleled liberality of Professor Kelly upward of four 
thousand volumes of books, periodicals, monographs and theses 
from his private library have been presented to The Johns 
Hopkins Hospital and placed on the shelves of the library. 
Many of them, and, in fact, the majority, are books connected 
with his own special work in gynecology and obstetrics, and 
represent his zeal as a collector while pursuing his special 
studies. They include the best treatises upon these important 
branches of study in German, French and English, and are 
invaluable for the student of medicine and the physician. 
They comprise many very rare works also in anatomy, medi- 
cine and general surgery, and bear remarkable testimony to 
the breadth of the donor's interest in the whole science of 
medicine."9 
A word of a personal nature is appropriate in such a tribute 
as this. Kelly, in his relations with the members of his 
hospital staff, has always been most kind and considerate. He 
has placed responsibilities upon them and has treated them as 
friends and younger brothers rather than as assistants. He 
has given them material aid in prosecuting studies in this 
[293] 
[292] 
9 There are many editions of Avicenna, Boerhaave, Celsus, Fal- 
loppio, Galen, Hippocrates, Vesalius; and works of Argelata, Aris- 
toteles, Fracastorius, Haller, Harvey, Malpighi, Rhazes, Spigelius, 
Sylvius, and others. 
16 country or abroad and has often assisted them in bearing the 
expense of the publication of books and their illustrations. 
Many of his assistants have spent one or two years as internes, 
a year each as second assistant, and first assistant, and finally 
a year or more as resident. Under these circumstances it is 
not strange that many excellent men have been developed by 
him, who are now occupying prominent places in Baltimore 
and in other parts of the country. Among these may be men- 
tioned : Hunter Robb, late of Cleveland; A. L. Stavely, in 
Washington; W. W. Russell, in Baltimore; John G. Clark, in 
Philadelphia; Thomas S. Cullen, in Baltimore; Otto G. 
Ramsay, at Yale (until his untimely death); Ernest J. Stokes, 
in North Carolina; G. Brown Miller, in Washington; G. L. 
Hunner, in Baltimore; B. J. Schenck, in Detroit; John A. 
Sampson, in Albany; Curtis F. Burnam, in Baltimore; Henry 
T. Hutchins and Stephen Rushmore, in Boston; E. H. Rich- 
ardson, in Baltimore; E. K. Cullen, in Detroit; Elizabeth 
Hurdon, in Baltimore, and many others. 
The activities of Dr. Kelly have not been confined to his 
profession. He has been much interested in many problems of 
a religious and philanthropic character which have occupied 
no small share of his time and thoughts. He has also been a 
liberal contributor to many worthy philanthropic and religious 
enterprises. 
He has taken, as a rule, a vacation of at least two months 
every year and for many years has occupied a delightful and 
simple camp in Canada. Here he has wandered through the 
woods, studied wild flowers and mushrooms, has taken long 
canoe trips and has maintained his record as a long-distance 
swimmer. In this way he has recruited and conserved his 
wonderful physical energy. 
In his retirement from the active management of the 
Gynecological Department of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, 
he carries with him the cordial good wishes of his colleagues, 
associates, pupils and friends.
