 90 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 26th of January 1932

Chewing gum industrialist William Wrigley dies of natural causes at the age of 71 in Wrigley Mansion, Phoenix, Arizona, United States.

Wrigley was one of the great American gum makers and proprietors of the country. He was the only American to die of natural causes at the age of 71. Most deaths from industrial causes in the United States date back at least some 100 years. Dr Wrigley's last visit to the United States was in 1885, when he went to London, England. During this visit, we gave a presentation on Mr. Wrigley's contributions to the field of industrial hygiene to the Society of Gautamartik Association. Dr Wrigley and others provided several presentations concerning Mr. Wrigley's medical records, his record management, and his studies. Mr. Wrigley's history is summarized in two books, The Principles of Industrial Practice and the Practice and Methods of Wrigley's Profession and Medical Practice, by John W. Brown; and The Principles of Gautamartik's Health-Care, by John J. B. Jones. Mr. Wriglay's interest in medical practices has been well characterized among doctors. He was an active participant in medical education programs in many countries, including the United States, at colleges, universities, and the medical school system at Stanford University. Since his father died.
