J. Clarke (Publisher, 1922) M. F. LAUTMAN, M. D. Dr. M. F. Lantman, physician and surgeon of Hot Springs, was born in Meriden, Connecticut, April 18, 1890. He was reared in New Britain, that state, and the public schools accorded him his educational opportunities until he had mastered the high school course. He entered Yale University in 1907 and was graduated with the class of 1911. Even as a boy he had been keenly interested in the science of medicine and it was to this that he turned when making choice of a life work. Having completed his college course, he became connected with the army on the 12th of February, as a representative of the medical division, being commissioned a first lieutenant and stationed for service at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and also at San Antonio, Texas, where he received his discharge on the 20th of December. He is now a captain of the Medical Reserve Corps. He was connected with Mount Sinai Hospital of New York as interne for three years and then opened an office in New York city, where he practiced for a time. He came to Hot Springs as medical director of the Levi Hospital, which position he filled for a year, and he is now serving on the hospital staff. He is also chief of the clinic at the United States Public Health Service clinic. Dr. Lautman belongs to the Masonic fraternity and has attained high rank in the order, as indicated in the fact that he is a Noble of the Mystic Shrine. He is likewise identified with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. His attention and activities, however, are largely concentrated upon his professional duties and he belongs to the Garland County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical Society, the Southern Medical Association and the American Medical Association. Through the proceedings of these bodies he is thoroughly in touch with the advanced thought and scientific investigation of the profession and employs the most progressive methods in his practice. Already he has attained a most creditable position for one of his years and his future career will be well worth watching.
