Description	Photo shows medical painting, "That Mothers Might Live", by Dean Cornwell, well known illustrator and muralist. Painting was shown at a premiere showing at the American Medical Association Convention in San Francisco. Painting shows Oliver Wendell Holmes, who was a famous doctor as well as poet, reading a paper proving that childbed fever is contagious. Doctors at first were skeptical, but later became convinced and as a result of Holmes' now famous essay, childbearing was made safer for women throughout the world. Wyeth Incorporated, Philadelphia, commissioned Cornwell to do the painting for its "Pioneers of American Medicine" series. Photo dated: June 24, 1946.
