Horton who once wrote (in an article titled &quot;Musings on Medical Research with a Note on My Last Talk with Dr. Will&quot; published in the book <i>Staff Meetngs of the Mayo Clinic</i> Vol.37, No. 12, p.334) &quot;The history of medicine, like the history of the world, is the history of but a few people, . . . It is only the few who leave their footprints on the sands of time; if a man expects to do so, he must wear his working shoes.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Horton believed himself to be on the verge of a major medical breakthrough involving the use of histamines to treat and cure a wide range of maladies, including ALS (Lou Gehrig&#039;s Disease).&nbsp; He expected that his work with histamines would place him in the company of the great medical researchers in history, but his quest to complete his research into histamines dominated the rest of his life with little gain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
