Mentioned in the 3/9/1937 Minutes of the Pima County Medical Society, 1904-1954: “Scientific paper read: ‘Rheumatic Heart Disease in Different Climates; a Survey Among the American Indians’ by Dr. John Paul.” See: Paul, John R. Rheumatic Heart Disease among American Indian School Children in Different Climates. Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly, Vol. 15, No. 2. (Apr., 1937), pp. 135-138.

JAMA, Jun 1971; 216: 1936: Dr. Paul, polio research pioneer, dies. John Rodman Paul, MD, Professor Emeritus of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Yale University, died May 6 of heart failure at the Yale-New Haven Hospital. Dr. Paul was best known for his studies of poliomyelitis. He also performed extensive research on infectious mononucleosis, hepatitis, and rheumatic fever. He was born on April 18, 1893, in Philadelphia, received his MD degree in 1919 from Johns Hopkins University, joined the faculty of the Yale School of Medicine in 1928 after postgraduate study at the University of Pennsylvania. He retired in 1961, but that did not mean an end to his activities. Until 1966, he headed the World Health Organization Reference Serum Bank at Yale and he continued to publish articles and books. His most recent book was A History of Poliomyelitis, published early this year. Dr. Paul and the late James D. Trask, MD, received the first research grant offered by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. This grant was renewed every year from 1938 to 1968; during this time the two investigators found that infected persons excrete polio virus from the intestinal tract. They also demonstrated that the virus can be found in the sewage of epidemic areas. In 1942, they received the John Phillips Memorial Award of the American College of Physicians. Dr. Paul and his colleagues also carried out many of the early tests of the Sabin live virus oral polio vaccine. The John Rodman Paul chair in epidemiology was endowed in his honor at the Yale School of Medicine in 1967. He is also a past president of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and of the American College of Physicians. [Includes photo.]
