This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born at Archbald, Pennsylvania, the second son of Dr. John and Margaret (McAndrew) Foote.
He entered Georgetown University for his premedical and medical education, receiving from this institution the degree of A. B. in 1902 and that of M. D. in 1906.
For the two years preceding his death he was dean of the school of medicine at the university.
Immediately following his graduation, he was appointed to the faculty of the Georgetown Medical School, where he was successively assistant professor of materia medica and therapeutics, assistant professor of anatomy, associate professor of therapeutics and pharmacology, associate professor of clinical medicine and pediatrics, and during the last ten years of his life, professor of pediatrics.
For the two years preceding his death he was dean of the school of medicine at the university.
In 1913 he was a delegate to the Inter-National Medical Congress in London, and in 1930 he was a delegate to the Pan-American Child Health Congress in Habana and the International Congress of Pediatrics at Stockholm.
With the entrance of the United States into the First World War he was made a member of the Council of National Defense and gave lectures on social hygiene for the Bureau of Training Camps and the Public Health Service.
He made numerous contributions to medical literature. He was the author of The Essentials of Materia Medica and Therapeutics for Nurses (1910 and later editions); Safeguarding Children's Nerves (1924), written in collaboration with Dr. J. J. Walsh; Diseases of the New-Born (1926); and Diseases of the Bones, Joints, Muscles and Tendons (1927). To the eight-volume work, Pediatrics, by Various Authors (1923 - 26), edited by Dr. I. A. Abt, he contributed the section on respiratory diseases in Volume III.
He was also interested in medical lore, and for his researches in the field of early Italian medical history he was made an officer of the Crown of Italy by the Italian Government in November 1930.
For his researches into the history and habitat of drugs used in medicine, studies which were the subject of several contributions to the National Geographic Magazine, he was elected to membership on the board of trustees of the National Geographic Society.
A director of the American Child Health Association, he was at one time the editor of its official organ, Mother and Child. Aside from his attainments in the field of medicine, Foote was devoted keenly to the arts and letters. His fondness for pictures, especially those portraying something of medical interest, was a hobby.
He utilized extensively the collections in the fine-arts division of the Library of Congress, where he studied the works of the ancient masters which included children among their subjects, more especially those that revealed conditions of anatomical or pathological significance.
A part of his cultural life not generally known, but much appreciated by his intimates, was his love of music. He had composed the music of a number of college songs and marches and took part as a performer in informal gatherings of his musical friends.
His interest in poetry was no less keen, and on many occasions he indulged his fondness for writing.
He died of a coronary thrombosis, following influenza, at his home in Washington. As a memorial to him, and to his long devotion to the interests of the Children's Hospital, the members of the medical staff of the hospital and other friends established the John A. Foote Memorial Library for the use of the resident physicians and nurses of that institution.

He was a member of the French Society of Medical History, and he served as president of the Medical History Club of Washington, the Medical Society of the District of Columbia, and the American Association of Teachers of Children's Diseases.
