Excerpt from Ringworm: And Its Successful Treatment

IT gives me pleasure to state that the treatment of ringworm of the scalp devised by Dr. John P. Turner has proven remark ably efficacious in his hands. In the year 1913 the Reynolds Public School, Philadelphia, with a population of six hundred children was badly infested with ringworm. About eighty cases were discovered, of which at least one half were ringworm of the scalp. In View of the obstinate nature of the latter afifection, the proper conduct of the school was a serious problem. Dr. Turner consented to undertake the treatment of these cases in connection with his work as school medical inspector and effected a complete cure - a remarkable achievement deserving of medical notice.
