Permission (Reusing this file)	Public domainPublic domainfalsefalse This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in the United States between 1929 and 1977, inclusive, without a copyright notice. For further explanation, see Commons:Hirtle chart as well as a detailed definition of "publication" for public art. Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (50 p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 p.m.a.), Mexico (100 p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties. The author died in 1938, so this work is also in the public domain in jurisdictions where the copyright term is the author's life plus 80 years or less. This work may also be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works. العربية ∙ беларуская (тарашкевіца) ∙ čeština ∙ Deutsch ∙ Ελληνικά ∙ English ∙ español ∙ français ∙ Bahasa Indonesia ∙ italiano ∙ 日本語 ∙ 한국어 ∙ македонски ∙ Nederlands ∙ português ∙ русский ∙ sicilianu ∙ slovenščina ∙ ไทย ∙ Tiếng Việt ∙ 中文（简体） ∙ 中文（繁體） ∙ +/−

Background

J. William White was professor of surgery at the University of Pennsylvania (John Rhae Barton professor). He was the first to use orchidectomy for the treatment of prostatic hypertrophy and was a early user of X-Ray, having published an extensive paper on its diagbostic capabilities for fractures nine months after Roentgen discovered X-Rays. He was responsible for restarting the Army Navy Game after it was suspended. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 71.224.197.136 (talk • contribs)
