D. W. GOLDSTEIN, M. D.
    Dr. D. W. Goldstein, who is connected with the Cooper clinic at Fort Smith,
his activities covering the departments of radium, therapy and dermatology, was
born in Greenville, Mississippi, in 1888, his parents being Merx and Rosa (Wolf)
Goldstein. He obtained a high school education, after which he entered the
University of Tennessee for the study of medicine, having mentally reviewed the
broad field of business in order to select a vocation which he believed would
prove congenial and profitable. Attracted by the practice of medicine and
surgery, he matriculated in the University of Tennessee, winning his M. D.
degree in 1910. He afterward went abroad for postgraduate work, studying in
Vienna, Berlin and London. He also studied in Philadelphia and New York, and in
his practice has always specialized in dermatology, having gained a marked
degree of efficiency in that field.

     In May, 1917, Dr. Goldstein enlisted for service in the World war and was
commissioned a first lieutenant at Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia. He was sent to Camp
Gordon at Atlanta, Georgia, as battalion surgeon of the Three Hundred and
Twenty-fifth Infantry, and in April, 1918, went overseas. While in France he was
promoted to a captaincy in the Eighty-second Division. He was with the field
troops in the offensive and defensive sectors on the western front, being
stationed at Toul and at Maubache. He was also on active duty in the offensive
at St. Mihiel, in the Meuse-Argonne and was with the combat troops of the Three
Hundred and Twenty-eighth Infantry. Later he was made regimental surgeon of that
command and received a citation for distinguished service in rendering first aid
under fire. He met all of the experiences of modern warfare and exerted his
professional skill to the utmost in rendering aid to wounded and stricken
comrades, never considering his own health or safety when he could make his
labors of avail in ministering to the soldiers of his regiment. In June, 1919,
he was sent to Camp Pike, Arkansas, and was recommended for a promotion to the
rank of major.

    With his return to Fort Smith Dr. Goldstein joined Cooper clinic and has
since done important work in this connection in radium, therapy and dermatology.
He has at all times kept abreast with the trend of modern professional thought,
research, investigation and progress, and is accounted one of the able young
physicians of western Arkansas.

    Dr. Goldstein was united in marriage to Miss Florence Pahotski. Beyond the
interests of his home, outside activities make little claim upon the time and
attention of Dr. Goldstein, for he has always preferred to concentrate his
efforts and attention upon his professional interests, and he discharges his
duties with a marked sense of conscientious obligation.
