HISTORY  OF  HOMOEOPATHY 


ITS  INSTITUTIONS  IN  AMERICA 


THE   HO.MCEOPATHIC   MEDICAL   PROFESSION 


JA.MES  H.  McCLELLAXD,  Pittsburgh, 
Pennsylvania,  former  professor  of  surgery 
in  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College  of 
Philadelphia,  president  of  the  American  In- 
stitute of  Homoeopathy  in  1894,  a  founder 
of  the  Pittsburgh  Homoeopathic  Hospital 
and  member  of  its  surgical  staff  since  the 
organization  of  that  now  famous  institu- 
tion, is  a  native  of  Pittsburgh,  born  May 
20,  1845,  and  has  made  that  great  indus- 
trial metropolis  the  scene  of  his  entire  pro- 
fessional life.  He  was  educated  there  in 
the  public  schools  and  later  was  a  student 
in  the  Western  University  of  Pennsylvania, 
which  later  conferred  upon  him  the  degree 
of  D.  Sc.  In  1862  he  became  a  student 
of  medicine  under  Dr.  Jabez  P.  Dake,  and 
on  the  removal  of  Dr.  Dake  from  the  city 
he  continued  his  preliminary  studies  with 
Dr.  J.  C.  Burgher.  In  1864  he  matriculated 
at  the  old  Homccopathic  Medical  College 
of  Pennsylvania  and  attended  upon  one 
full  course  of  lectures;  and  in  session  of 
1866-67  lie  again  took  up  college  studies 
and  graduated  M.  D.  in  1867.  Dr.  McClel- 
land began  practice  in  Pittsburgh  in  1867, 
associated  with  Dr.  Burgher,  and  so  con- 
tinued three  years,  when  he  opened  an 
oftice  of  his  own  and  entered  uiK)n  the 
career  which  in  subsequent  years  has  gained 
for  him  the  iiighest  slandiug  in  the  ranks 
of  the  profession  and  has  extended  his 
reputation    throughout    America   and    even 


across  the  Atlantic.  As  the  senior  Hel- 
muth  was  to  surgery  in  New  York  so  is 
the  senior  McClelland  to  that  special 
branch  of  practice  in  Pennsylvania ;  both 
men  of  achievement  and  both  bold  and 
skillful  operators;  and  as  the  former  stood 
in  his  lifetime  in  the  clinical  department  of 
Flower  Hospital  in  New  York,  so  stands 
the  latter  to-day  in  the  surgical  clinics  of 
the  Pittsburgh  Homoeopathic  Hospital, 
which  institution  owes  its  existence  largely 
to  his  eflforts  and  public-spiritedness.  In 
1876,  on  the  retirement  of  Professor  Mor- 
gan from  the  chair  of  surgery  in  Hahne- 
mann Medical  College  of  Philadelphia.  Dr. 
McClelland  succeeded  him  and  held  that 
professorship  until  the  end  of  the  session 
of  1877-7S,  when  he  resigned  ;  at  the  begin- 
ning of  that  session  he  delivered  the  intro- 
ductory address.  Neither  is  Dr.  McClel- 
land wholly  unknown  as  contributor  to 
the  literature  of  liis  iirofessioii.  altlwugh 
his  efforts  in  this  respect  have  been  gen 
crally  limited  to  monograph  articles  and 
addresses  published  after  delivery  before 
the  highest  bodies  of  homoeopathy.  "  The 
Mind"  was  the  subject  of  an  aildress  before 
the  HomiTopatiiic  Medical  Society  of  Penn- 
sylvania in  1875,  and  in  moditied  form  was 
read  before  tlie  Pi-misylvani.i  l.e>;i>!.»tiire 
in  i87().  His  thesis,  "Honuropatliio  fieat- 
uu-nt  of  Syphilis,"  was  printeil  by  the 
Americun  In-<tiiiiic-  of  IlonMoiKithv  for  mc

HISTORY  OF  HO-MCEOPATHY 


at  the  World's  Homa^opatliic  Convention 
at  Philadelphia  in  June.  1876.  His 
"Nephrectomy"  was  read  before  the  Homtic- 
opathic  Society  of  Pennsylvania  in  Sep- 
tember, 1880.  His  "Antiseptic  Surgery" 
was  printed  in  pamphlet  and  also  in  the 
transactions  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Homoeopathy.  His  membership  in  that  in- 
stitution dates  from  1S67,  and  now  he  is 
a  senior.  He  was  president  of  that  body 
in  1894  and  for  many  years  has  been  an 
influential  figure  in  its  councils.  He  aLso 
was  president  of  the  Hahncm;inn  statue 
connnittcc  and  was  largely  instrumental  in 
accomplishing  the  object  of  that  organiza- 
tion; was  honorary  president  of  the  Inter- 
national Homoeopathic  Congress  held  in 
Paris,  1900,  and  was  president  in  the  same 
year  of  the  Pennsylvania  state  board  of 
health.  He  also  holds  «iembcrship  in  the 
Pennsylvania  State  and  Allegheny  County 
Homoeopathic  Medical  societies,  and  is 
honorar>'  member  of  the  British  Homoe- 
pathic  Medical  Society,  the  Massachusetts 
State  and  the  Philadelphia  County  Homoe- 
opathic Medical  societies.  Dr.  McClelland 
married  Rachel  May  Pears,  daughter  of  the 
late  John  P.  Pears  of  Pittsburgh,  by  whom 
he  has  had  three  daughters,  the  youngest 
having  died  in  infancy.  He  is  associated 
in  practice  with  his  two  brothers,  Drs.  John 
B.   and  Robert  VV.   McClelland. 


GEORGE  WATSON  ROBERTS,  Ph. 
B.,  New  York  City,  is  a  native  of  Underbill 
Center,  Chittenden  county,  Vermont,  born 
December  9,  1866,  son  of  Dr.  George  Wash- 
ington Roberts,  one  of  the  earliest  homoeo- 
pathic physicians  in  Vermont,  and  his  wife 
Esther  A.  Graves  of  Northampton.  Massa- 
chusetts. On  both  sides  he  is  of  old  New 
England  stock,  in  the  paternal  line  tracing 
back  to  pioneer  settlement  in  the  Green 
Mountain  state,  and  in  the  maternal  line 
to  the  early  colonists  of  Northampton  in 
the  Connecticut  valley  in  Massachusetts. 
His  elementary  education  was  acquired  in 
the   Underbill   common   schools,   chiefly   in 


"the  little  old  red  schoolhouse"  until  he 
was  twelve  years  old,  when  he  was  given 
two  years  of  irregular  attendance  at  Un- 
derbill Academy,  interspersed  with  work 
on  a  farm  and  in  a  steam  saw  mill.  At 
the  age  of  fourteen,  after  the  death  of  his 
mother,  he  went  west  to  the  prairies  of 
Minnesota,  where  he  found  employment  as 
clerk  in  a  store.  At  this  time  a  few  boys, 
of  whose  number  he  himself  was  one,  who 
were  ambitious  to  gain  an  education,  or- 
ganized a  night  class  under  the  instruction 
of  a  German  college  graduate;  and  while 
there  he  began  the  study  of  "Gray's  Anat- 
omy," which  turned  his  mind  in  the  direc- 
tion of  medical  subjects.  In  1883,  at  the 
age  of  sixteen  years,  he  returned  to  Ver- 
mont and  became  a  student  in  the  medical 
department  of  the  University  of  Vermont, 
Burlington,  but  at  the  end  of  a  year  he 
was  made  aware  of  the  importance  of 
thorough  academic  training  as  the  founda- 
tion of  an  education  in  the  profession  of 
medicine.  With  this  in  view  he  returned 
to  Underbill  and  divided  his  time  between 
work  in  a  store  and  saw  mill  (for  he  was 
obliged  to  cam  the  means  wherewith  to 
manitain  as  well  as  educate  himself)  and 
hours  of  study,  and  twice  each  week  he 
drove  to  Jericho,  several  miles  distant,  to 
recite  his  lessons  and  receive  instructions 
from  Joseph  Cilley,  one  of  Vermont's 
famous  old-time  teachers,  stern  and  thor- 
ough, yet  not  less  proficient  in  the  art  of 
the  schoolmaster;  and  his  admonitions  as 
well  as  his  instructions  seriously  impressed 
the  young  man  under  his  teaching  and 
aided  him  materially  in  the  development 
of  that  calm,  determined  and  self-reliant 
side  of  his  nature  which  so  frequently 
has  manifested  itself  in  Dr.  Roberts'  later 
professional  life.  In  the  fall  of  1884  ho 
entered  the  academic  department  of  the 
University  of  Vermont,  and  graduated 
there  in  1R87,  Ph.  B.,  honor  man,  having 
led  his  class,  securing  his  election  to 
•l".  I'..  K.  (Phi  Beta  Kappa).  In  the  med- 
ical (!c|)artmcnt  of  his  alma  niatcr  he  then 
began    the    study    of   medicine,    taking   two

courses,  one  preliminary  and  one  regular; 
and  later  matriculated  at  the  New  York 
Homoeopathic  Medical  College,  where  he 
came  to  the  full  degree  in  1889;  on  two 
subsequent  occasions  he  visited  Europe  for 
'  post-graduate  studies.  Dr.  Roberts  began 
his  professional  career  in  the  city  of  New 
York  in  the  late  winter  of  1889,  and  also 
at  the  same  time  became  connected  with 
the  teaching  corps  of  his  alma  mater  in 
the  out-patient  department;  and  w-ith  a 
single  interval  he  has  since  been  a  part  of 
its  faculty  life,  in  the  following  capacities : 
attending  surgeon  to  the  out-patient  de- 
partment, demonstrator  of  physiology,  dem- 
onstrator of  operative  surgery,  professor 
of  surgery  and  professor  of  gynecology. 
During  almost  the  same  period  he  has  been 
associated  in  faculty  work  in  the  New 
York  Medical  College  and  Hospital  for 
Women ;  first  as  assistant  to  the  chair  of 
surgery,  then  adjunct  professor  to  the  chair 
of  surgery,  and  later  professor  of  surgery. 
In  the  New  York  Homccopathic  Sanitarium 
he  was  resident  surgeon,  1890-1894.  In  the 
Laura  Franklin  Free  Hospital  for  Children 
he  has  been  attending  surgeon  since  1894. 
In  Hahnemann  Hospital  he  has  been  at- 
tending surgeon  since  1896,  but  his  part  in 
the  life  of  this  particular  institution  has 
been  more  than  that  of  attending  to  the 
formal  duties  of  its  surgical  department; 
he  has  been  the  chief  factor  in  organizing 
the  hospital  on  its  present  basis  and  in 
bringing  it  to  the  standard  of  efficiency  and 
perfection  it  enjoys  among  the  charitable 
institutions  of  whatever  school  in  the  great 
metropolitan  district.  He  is  and  for  several 
years  has  been  attending  gynecologist  to 
the  Mower  Hospital;  consulting  surgeon  to 
Hrooklyn  Memorial  Hospital,  to  St.  Mary's 
Hospital,  Passaic,  New  Jersey,  and  to  the 
Scranton  Ilomtcopathic  llosp'ilal,  Scranton, 
Pcnn.sylvania.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Amer- 
ican Institute  of  llonui-'opatliy,  the  New 
York  State  and  New  York  County  Homtt- 
opathu-  Medical  societies,  tlie  I'atliological 
and  Materia  Medica  societies;  tlie  Meissen 
.iiiil   Cliiiini  iliibs  ;   an   lioimiaiN'    miimiiIkt  of 


the  Ohio  Valley  Medical  Association,  and 
corresponding  member  of  the  British 
Homccopathic  Medical  Society.  Dr.  Rob- 
erts is  known  by  his  works  rather  than 
by  his  writings  on  subjects  pertaining  to 
his  profession,  yet  to  him  is  attributed  the 
authorship  of  several  valuable  monograph 
contributions  to  surgical  literature  which 
have  been  given  currency  through  the 
medium  of  medical  and  surgical  journals; 
and,  besides  these,  he  is  the  author  of  an 
original  operation  for  cancer  of  the  rectum 
which  will  live  after  he  has  passed  from 
life's  stage.  Among  his  published  works, 
chiefly  in  pamphlet,  are  "The  Operative 
Treatment  of  Cancer  of  the  Rectum,"  1902 ; 
"Should  Catharsis  Precede  Laparotomy?" 
'"Conservative  Pelvic  Surgerj',"  and  "Can- 
cer of  the  Rectum  Treated  by  Sigmoido- 
Protectomy,"  1905. 


WILLIAM  HENRY  MARCY,  Buffalo, 
New  York,  was  born  in  Webster,  Massa- 
chusetts, August  4,  1871,  son  of  Emory  W. 
Marcy  and  Georgianna  Barton,  his  wife, 
and  a  descendant  of  John  Marcy,  born

pared to  enter  Worcester  Institute  of 
Technology,  but  clianged  his  detenniu.ition

Betts  relinquished  his  former  course  of 
lectures  to  assume  the  duties  of  professor 
of  g>Tiecolog>-.  The  establishment  of  a 
gynecological  clinic  was  attended  with 
many  difficulties  owing  to  the  inadequate 
facilities  in  the  old  college  and  hospital 
buildings.  The  teaching  in  this  depart- 
ment was  practical  and  afforded  the  stu- 
dents the  first  opportunity  that  had  ever 
acquired  to  institute  methods  of  physical 
examination  under  the  direct  supervision 
of  the  teacher.  Particular  pains  were  taken 
to  teach  the  application  of  homoeopathic 
therapeutics  to  the  diseases  peculiar  to 
women,  and  each  year  the  clinics  increased 
in  importance.  After  the  establishment  of 
iliis  course  of  medical  study  a  supplemental 
course  was  instituted  on  the  diseases  of 
children.  The  same  care  was  taken  to 
teach  the  application  of  homoeopathic  meth- 
ods in  this  course  and  it  became  very  pop- 
ular with  the  students  in  attendance.  The 
establishment  of  a  regular  clinic  for  the 
treatment  of  diseases  of  children  was  fre- 
quently advocated.  Dr.  Betts  relinquished 
the  chair  of  gynecology  in  the  year  i<Sq5. 
and  was  appointed  consulting  gynecologist 
to  the  Hahnemann  Hospital,  consulting 
g>-necologist  in  charge  of  this  department 
in  the  hospitals  of  the  Women's  Homne-

JAMES  HERBERT  MOORE,  practicing 
physician  of  Brookline,  Massachusetts,  was 
born  in  Saco,  York  county,  Maine,  Octo- 
ber 4.  1861,  and  is  the  son  of  Dr.  James 
Otis  and  Mary  Elizabeth  (Ross)  Moore. 
The  pioneer  ancestor  of  this  branch  of  the 
Moore  family  in  this  country,  and  the  fifth 
generation  removed  from  the  subject  of 
this  sketch,  was  Col.  Jonathan  Moore,  a 
retired  British  officer,  who  came  to  this 
country  in  the  early  part  of  1700  and  set- 
tled in  Stratham,  New  Hampshire.  Capt. 
Harvey  Moore,  the  grandson  of  Col.  Jona- 
than Moore  and  the  great-grandfather  of 
James  Herbert  Moore,  entered  the  conti- 
nental army  in  command  of  a  company  of 
New  Hampshire  militia  immediately  after 
the  Concord  fight,  receiving  the  commis- 
sion of  captain  from  the  governor  of  New 
Hampshire  and  subsequently  tiic  commis- 
sion of  lieutenant  from  President  Hancock. 
Capt.  Harvey  Moore  carried  in  the  revo- 
lutionary war  the  identical  sword  against 
the  British  which  his  grandfather.  Col. 
Jonathan  Moore,  had  carried  in  their  de- 
fense nearly  a  century  before.  Dr.  James 
Herbert  Moore  is  also  a  son  of  the  revolu-

tion  on  the  other  side  of  his  father's  fam- 
ily, his  paternal  grandmother  having  been 
the  daughter  of  Rev.  Levi  Qiadboume,  who 
served  in  the  war  of  the  revolution  and 
carried  in  his  body  until  his  death,  many 
years  afterwards,  a  ball  received  in  one  of 
its  battles.  Dr.  Moore  is  also  allied  with 
the  revolution  on  his  mother's  side,  his 
maternal  grandmother  having  been  a  Jones, 
and  direct  descendant  from  that  branch  of 
the  family  w^hich  gave  to  that  period  John 
Paul  Jones.  If  homoeopathy  is  hereditary 
Dr.  Moore  comes  naturally  by  his  homoe- 
opathic faith  and  affiliations  as  his  father. 
Dr.  James  Otis  Moore,  who  was  one  of 
three  brothers  to  embrace  homoeopathy  in 
the  forties,  after  graduating  from  the  old 
Castleton   Medical  College  of  Vermont  in 

1848,  became  convinced  of  the  superiority 
of  the  homoeopathic  over  the  prevailing 
method  of  therapeutics,  after  a  thorough 
examination  and  study  of  the  same  under 
the  direction  of  his  brother,  Dr.  Levi  C. 
Moore,  who  had  settled  in  North  Troy, 
Vermont,  as  a  homoeopathic  physician  as 
early  as  1841.  The  third  brother  to  em- 
brace homoeopathy  at  this  early  period  was 
Dr.  John  Moore,  who  settled  in  Quincy, 
Illinois.  After  becoming  convinced  of  the 
superiority  of  homoeopathy  Dr.  Moore's 
father   removed  to   Saco,   Maine,   in  April, 

1849,  and  was  one  of  the  first  homoeopathic 
physicians  to  settle  in  that  section  of  the 
state,  and  one  of  the  few  homoeopathic 
physicians  to  receive  a  medical  commi'^sion 
in  the  civil  war,  in  which  he  served  as 
surgeon.  At  the  close  of  the  civil  war  Dr. 
Moore's  father  removed  to  Haverhill, 
Massachusetts,  where  he  practiced  his  pro- 
fession for  twenty  years  as  the  oldest 
honicEopathic  physician  of  the  city  until  his 
death  in  i^^-  ^^-  Moore  received  his  edu- 
cation in  the  public  schools  of  llavorliill, 
graduating  from  the  high  school  in  1880, 
after  having  taken  the  college  course  in 
preparation  for  Harvard  Qjllegc.  Owing 
to  a  long  continued  illness  of  his  father, 
due  to  a  severe  accident  received  in  the 
rounds     of    his     professional     duties,     Dr.

riMOrilY  1-1  ELI)  .\LLEN,  LL.D., 
was  for  more  than  forty  years  an  active 
force  in  the  medical  history  of  New  York 
city,  a  representative  of  two  schools  of 
practice,  and  one  of  the  best  exponents  of 
homoeopathy  after  his  conversion  to  its 
principles  that  any  country  ever  has  pro- 
duced. One  of  his  most  recent  biogra- 
phers said  of  him :  "The  homoeopathic 
practice  of  medicine  has  no  more  learned 
and  able  exponent  than  Timothy  Field 
.\llen.  By  teaching  and  example  he  has 
impressed  his  own  practical  views  and 
methods  upon  his  generation,  and  his  au- 
thority is  as  highly  respected  as  his  skill 
as  a  physician  and  surgeon  is  universally 
acknowledged."  This  commentator  might 
have  gone  farther  and  said  that  all  Timo- 
thy Field  Allen  was  as  a  teacher  or  writer 
<ir  medical  practitioner,  was  the  result  of 
his  own  personal  eflfort,  of  his  own  de 
termined  character  and  native  force.  In- 
deed, his  nature  was  a  law  unto  itself; 
not  that  he  was  an  originator  of  medical 
thought,  not  that  he  brought  into  life  and 
developed  into  perfect  organism  new 
homa'opathic  doctrines,  not  that  he  led  the 
way  into  new  fields  of  medical  research, 
but  rather  that  he  took  up  the  ideas  and 
theories  of  more  timid  investigators  and 
brought  them  into  actual  and  healthful 
l)eing.  In  himself  he  was  an  original  force, 
.iiul  when  he  entered  upon  the  performance 
of  a  duty  or  the  accomplishment  of  any 
new  thing  or  undertaking,  there  was  no 
ob-itacle  too  formidable  for  him  to  over- 
luiiic,    no   barrier    loo    strung    to   baflle    his

strength,  no  task  too  wearisome  to  suc- 
cessfully oppose  his  qualities  of  determina- 
tion and  endurance.  In  this  respect  he  was 
a  marvelous  man,  and  it  is  fortunate,  too, 
for  the  homoeopathic  profession  in  this 
country  that  Dr.  Allen  lived  and  moved  in 
his  own  day  and  generation.  Glancing 
back  over  his  career  of  forty  years  in  the 
ranks  of  medicine,  it  seems  as  if  Timothy 
Field  Allen  had  been  raised  up  for  the 
especial  mission  of  accomplishing  results, 
of  building  up  institutions,  placing  them 
upon  a  secure  basis,  and  providing  for 
their  permanent  maintenance.  And  after 
all  some  of  Dr.  Allen's  qualities  may  have 
been  inherent,  for  he  came  of  a  family 
noted  for  individual  strength  and  character. 
His  father  was  David  Allen,  himself  a 
physician  of  note  in  historic  Vermont,  and 
of  the  same  family  of  Aliens  that  fur- 
nished America  with  some' of  its  strongest 
revolutionary  characters.  Dr.  David  Allen 
was  a  son  of  Silas  Allen  of  Heath,  Mass- 
achusetts, who  was  a  practitioner  of  medi- 
cine before  the  days  of  schools  for  instruc- 
tion in  the  healing  art.  Dr.  David  Allen's 
wife  was  Eliza  Graves  of  Charlmont, 
Massachusetts,  and  her  mother,  family 
tradition  says,  was  a  witness  of  the  battle 
of  Lexington,  which  marked  the  beginning 
of  the  revolution  in  1775.  Dr.  David  Allen 
was  a  graduate  in  1826  of  the  Williams 
College  Medical  School,  and  he  subse- 
quently settled  in  Westminster,  Vermont. 
In.  that  tbwn,  Timothy  Field  Allen  was 
born,  April  24,  1837.  He  was  given  a  good 
elementary  education,  and  afterward  took 
a  regular  course  at  Amherst  College,  where 
he  graduated  and  he  took  his  bachelor  de- 
gree in  1858;  and  his  master  degree  in 
1861.  He  read  medicine  with  his  father 
and  afterward  matriculated  at  the  medical 
-department  of  the  University  of  New  York, 
whore  he  graduated,  M.  D.,  in  1861.  His 
lioiiorary  degree  of  doctor  of  laws  was 
conftrred  by  Anilierst  College  in  1885. 
VN'ell  o(|uippcd  by  native  endowment  and 
ic<|uirt(l  liarning.  Dr.  .Allen  began  the 
practice   if   ini'diciiic    in    Brooklyn    in    1S61, 


a  physician  then  of  the  old  school.  Soon 
afterward  that  city  was  visited  with  an 
epidemic  of  diphtheria,  and  the  resources 
of  all  practitioners  were  taxed  to  meet  the 
occasion.  Allen  entered  into  the  work 
with  energj',  but  to  his  discouragement 
he  lost  nearly  every  case  that  came  under 
his  treatment.  In  some  way  he  became  ac- 
quainted with  Dr.  P.  P.  Wells,  of  honored 
memory,  a  faithful  disciple  of  Hahnemann, 
and  who  suggested  to  the  young  aspirant 
that  he  try  lachesis,  two  hundredth  po- 
tency, which  he  did  (Allen  always  was 
willing  to  heed  wise  counsel)  with  re- 
markable results,  and  subsequently  more 
than  ninety  per  cent  of  his  cases  were 
cured.  The  seed  fell  on  good  ground,  and 
sprang  up  and  j-ielded  abundantly.  Tim- 
othy Field  Allen  became  a  pupil  under  Dr. 
Wells  and  joined  himself  to  the  followers 
of  the  homoeopathic  school.  About  this 
time,  August  15,  1862,  he  was  appointed 
assistant  surgeon.  United  States  army,  and 
was  stationed  for  a  time  at  Point  Lookout, 
where  he  acquired  a  valuable  experience  in 
practical  surgery.  Returning  home,  he 
formed  a  partnership  with  the  late  Dr. 
Carroll  Dunham  of  New  York  and  entered 
earnestly  upon  a  career  that  from  the  out- 
set was  successful;  but  to  school  himself 
under  the  changed  conditions  he  became  a 
student  at  the  Hahnemann  Medical  College 
of  Philadelphia  and  took  the  diploma  of 
that  institution  in  1865.  In  New  York  Dr. 
Allen  soon  took  rank  with  the  leading 
homoeopathic  physicians  of  the  city,  and 
his  reputation  as  a  man  of  worth  in  the 
profession  became  known  in  other  locali- 
ties. His  practice  was  large  and  he  was 
always  busy,  yet  in  connection  with  his

served  as  executive  officer  of  the  college 
eleven  years,  retiring  in  iSg.V  In  1S85  he

However,  it  is  in  connection  with  the  Xcw 
York  Ophthalmic  Hospital  that  Dr.  Allen 
earned  the  appreciation  and  gratitude  of 
the  community  in  which  he  lived  so  many 
years.  While  professor  of  anatomy  there, 
his  advice  and  service  were  requested  by 
the  trustees  in  their  decision  to  place  that 
institution  under  homieopathic  control. 
The  undertaking  required  a  man  of  repu- 
tation and  determined  character,  and  the 
trustees  in  selecting  him  for  the  work  had 
in  mind  his  special  qualities  in  that  direc- 
tion and  also  his  standing  as  an  oculist  and 
surgeon.  He  answered  their  request  for 
assistance,  and  with  the  co-operation  of  the 
late  Professor  Liebold  introduced  homoeo- 
pathic treatment  in  the  hospital  and  in- 
augurated a  policy  and  system  of  manage- 
ment that  soon  placed  it  at  the  head  of  all 
similar  institutions.  No  less  important  was 
his  work  in  connection  with  the  Laura 
l->'inklin  Free  Hospital  for  Children,  the 
medical  staff  of  which  was  composed  of 
homieopathic  physicians  and  surgeons  ap- 
pointed upon  the  recommendation  of  Dr. 
.\llen  to  the  founders  of  that  institution. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  man-

sylvania, (October  30,  1833,  and  died  in  the 
city  of  Now  York,  May  15,  1902.  His  lit- 
erary education  was  acquired  at  St. 
Tiinotliy's  College.  Baltimore,  Maryland. 
rmd  in  1850  he  took  up  the  study  of  medi- 


cine in  the  old  Homoeopathic  Medical  Col- 
lege of  Pennsylvania,  pursuing  his  investi- 
gations   under    the    preceptorship    of    his 
uncle.  Dr.  William  Scheaff  Helmuth,  then 
professor  of  theory  and  practice  of  medi- 
cine   in    that     institution,    and     himself    a 
former   pupil   of    Hewson,    a   distinguished 
surgeon    of    Philadelphia    during    the    first 
quarter    of    the    nineteenth    century.      Dr. 
Helmuth,  the  surgeon,  took  his  medical  de- 
gree in   1853,  and  in  1854  was  one  of  the 
dispensarj'    physicians,    and    also    prosector 
of   surgery  to    Dr.   Beakley.     On  July    17, 
1856,    he    was    appointed    to    the    chair    of 
anatomy  in  his  alma  mater,  but  at  the  close

opathic  Medical   College  of  Missouri,  was 
its  first  incumbent  of  the  chair  o£  anatomy, 
and  also  was  registrar  of  the  faculty.     In

that    institution,   with   which    he   afterward 
was    identified    throughout    the    remaining 
period   of   his   life,    and    in   the   history   of 
wliich   he  was  for  more  than   thirty  years 
a   valuable  factor,   not  only  in   the  profes- 
sor's   chair,    but    in    almost    every    depart- 
ment of  institutional  life.     In   1S91  he  was 
elected   member   of   the  board   of  trustees, 
w  liore  he  gave  excellent  service  in  the  ad- 
ministrative affairs  of  the  college  until  the 
time  of  his  death.     In    1893  he   was  made 
(loan  of  the  faculty  and  performed  the  re- 
sponsible  duties  of  that    office   as   long  as 
lio   lived.     .\s  an  evidence  of  the  high  re- 
nin <l    in   which   Dr.   Helmuth   was   held  by 
till'   trustees  of  tiie  college  corporation,  an 
ixtr.ict  of  the  minutes    (May  20,  igco)    is 
iuro  given:     "As  tliree  years  ago  the  trus- 


HISTORY  OF  HOMCEOPATHY 


tees  of  this  instituticin  were  suddenly  called 
to  mourn  the  loss  of  Roswcll  P.  Flower, 
our  great  benefactor,  so  now  are  we  in  like 
manner  called  to  deplore  the  death  of  Will- 
iam Tod  Helmuth,  the  great  educator  of 
the  medical  students  of  our  college — the  one 
the  creator  and  donor  of  the  famous  hos- 
pital that  bears  his  name;  the  other  its  dis- 
tinguished surgical  head,  dean  of  the  fac- 
ulty of  both  college  and  hospital,  and  an 
invaluable  member  of  our  board  of  trus- 
tees." In  writing  of  his  professional  at- 
tainments, one  of  Helmuth's  biographers 
said :  "No  one  school,  no  one  college,  no 
one  city,  state  or  country  can  lay  claim 
to  the  education  of  this  internationally  re- 
spected humanitarian."  *  *  *  *  "To  Dr. 
Helmuth  more  than  to  any  other  one  man 
do  we  owe  the  honor  that  today  graces  the 
surgery  of  our  school.  He  was  the  grand 
l)ioneer  in  this  art — the  man  who  dared  to 
stand  forth  and  show  the  medical  world 
that  homceopathic  physicians  could  be 
equally  good  surgeons  with  those  of  the 
dominant  school.  With  courage  undaunted 
and  fortitude  unequalled  he  pushed  forth 
into  fields  before  untraversed  by  men  who 
shared  his  faith  in  the  practice  of  medicine 
according  to  the  law  of  similia,  and  some- 
what against  the  wishes  and  belief  of  hon- 
ored colleagues  who  were  so  incredulous 
as  to  think  that  surgery  was  not  needed  if 
similibus  was  heeded."  "With  his  de- 
parture," says  Dr.  Newton,  "there  went  out 
of  the  hoinocopathic  school  of  surgery, 
easily,  its  brightest  light ;  but  the  rays  of 
that  ever-burning  have  for  an  approximate 
lialf  century  so  shed  their  light  before  and 
penetrated  the  minds  of  men  that,  seeing 
his  good  works,  they  have  followed  him 
and  many  of  them  have  become  famous  in 
this  branch  of  the  profession."  Helmuth 
was  a  scholar  in  the  finest  sense  of  the 
word,  and  a  writer  of  remarkable  versa- 
tility, both  as  narrator  and  as  commenta- 
tor, and  his  contributions  to  the  literature 
of  the  profession  reflected  the  man  himself 
and  the  catholicity  of  his  talents.  Hi";  first 
work,  "Surgery  and  its  .Adaption  to  Homce- 


opathic Practice."  appeared  in  1^55.  and  his 
master  effort,  "A  System  of  Surgery," 
came  from  the  press  in  1S73  and  was  re- 
vised in  iiS78,  1879  and  18S7.  He  wa-;  au- 
thor of  several  other  works  of  professional 
character,  and  perhaps  as  many  more 
which  were  written  in  lighter  vein;  his 
monograph  articles  may  be  counted  by 
scores.  His  degree  of  LL.D.  was  confer- 
red by  Vale  University  in  i8<S8.  He  mar- 
ried in  St.  Louis,  February  10,  1859,  Fan- 
nie Ida  Pntchard,  daughter  of  Colonel  John 
Nicholas  Pritchard,  and  had  two  children, 
Fannie  Ida  and  William  Tod  Helmirth,  Jr.

stitution for  the  Blind,  remaining  there  in 
that  capacity  until  1863,  when  she  married. 
A  few  years  later  a  previously  half-formed 
resolution  to  take  up  the  study  of  medi- 
cine became  a  fixed  determination,  and  she 
matriculated  at  the  New  York  Medical  Col- 
lege and  Hospital  for  Women,  where  she 
came  to  her  degree  in  medicine  in  1871.

ment of  diseases  of  the  eye  and  ear.  In 
1898  she  resigned  her  chair  in  the  medical 
college  and  also  ceased  active  work  in  con- 
nection with  its  hospital  staff.  During  the

time  also  she  made  a  tour  of  Europe.  In 
temperance  work  she  was  associated  with 
the  late  Frances  Willard  and  also  with  the 
late  Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  Jennings  Dcmar- 
est.  Her  intense  interest  in  all  matters  re- 
lating to  the  advancement  of  women  made 
her  untiring  in  her  service  for  the  women 
students  of  the  college,  and  she  cheerfully 
responded  to  many  calls  for  help  from 
younger  physicians  in  trying  cases  along 
the  lines  of  her  specialties;  while  the  num- 
ber of  needy  persons  to  whom  her  services 
were  gratuitously  given  was  legion.  Her 
numerous  manuscripts,  published  and  un- 
published, along  various  lines,  but  chiefly 
medical,  are  marked  by  rare  literary  ability 
and  originality ;  in  the  many  societies  and 
clubs  of  which  she  Avas  a  member,  she 
willingly  responded  to  all  requests  for  pa- 
pers on  diverse  subjects.  Dr.  Wait  married,

SAMUEL  LILIENTHAL  was  bom  at 
Munich.  Germany,  November  5,  1815,  and 
died  October  3,  1891,  at  the  age  of  almost 
seventy-six  j^ears.  Peaceful  as  was  his  life 
so  was  his  death.  Cheerful  and  happy  to 
the  last,  he  went  quietly  to  sleep,  never  to 
awake  again  on  this  earth.  He  entered 
the  German  high  school  at  an  early  age 
and  graduated  in  1834.  He  matriculated  at 
the  University  of  Munich  in  the  fall  of 
1834,  and  after  a  year  of  preparatory  study 
entered  upon  the  study  of  medicine.  He 
took  his  degree  of  doctor  of  medicine  in 
1838,  and  continued  his  studies  in  the 
clinics  of  the  Municipal  Hospital  at  Mu- 
nich, until  the  fall  of  1839,  when  he  came 
to  America.  For  fifty  years  he  spent  his 
life  in  unceasing  professional  activity  in 
this  country.  After  a  short  stay  at  Heidel- 
berg, Pennsylvania,  he  went  to  South  Caro- 
lina, whence  he  returned  north  to  Lockport, 
New  York,  in  1847.  Here  was  the  turning 
point  in  his  medical  career ;  for,  witnessing 
the  extraordinary  success  of  homoeopathy 
through  the  efforts  of  a  resident  physician, 
his  love  of  truth  forced  him  to  study  this 
to  him  entirely  new  method  of  treatment, 
which  he  penetrated  deeper  and  deeper, 
becoming  more  attracted  with  ever\'  step 
forward.  In  1850  he  moved  to  Haverstraw, 
New  York,  where  he  remained  for  the  next 
seven  years,  removing  to  New  York  city 
in  1857,  where  he  resided  for  thirty  years. 
At  this  time,  mainly  through  the  influence 
of  the  late  Dr.  Hering.  he  became  the 
associate  editor  of  the  "North  American 
Journal  of  Homoeopathy."  which  he  con- 
ducted alone  from  1872  until  18S5.  when  his 
advancing  years  obliged  him  to. resign  from 
an  occupation  to  which  he  was  sincerely  at- 
tached. A  few  years  after  the  opening  of 
the  New  York  Homoeopathic  Medical  Col- 
lege he  became  identified  with  its  faculty, 
filling  the  chair  of  clinical  medicine  and 
that  of  diseases  of  the  nervous  system  until 
his  departure  for  San  Francisco  in  the 
spring  of  1887.  as  his  advancing  years  in- 
iluced  him  to  seek  rest  from  acli\e  en- 
gagements.     Dr.    Lilicnthal's    indefatigable

labors  in  the  field  of  journali>iTi  are  well 
known.  Besides  editing  liis  own  journal — 
for  which  he  made  all  translations  from 
the  German,  French.  Spanish  and  Italian 
languages — and  writing  original  articles  for 
almost  every  number,  he  contributed  large- 
ly to  all  of  the  prominent  journals  of  his 
school.  There  was  no  meeting  of  the  Amer- 
ican institute  or  of  the  state  society,  where 
he  did  not  present  a  valuable  paper ;  and 
also  in  his  county  society  his  face  was 
always  to  be  seen,  and  he  entered  with 
spirit  into  all  discussions  on  points  of  vital 
importance.  His  "Homoeopathic  Therapeu- 
tics" is  a  book  probably  more  often  re- 
ferred to  by  homoeopathic  physicians  for 
hints  in  prescribing  than  any  extant.  This 
work  gave  him  his  chief  fame.  In  it  he 
gathered  the  ripe  experience  of  all  our  best 
men  in  a  most  scrupulous  and  careful  con- 
densation, and  when  he  answered  the  call 
of  the  angel  of  death  he  was  busily  en- 
gaged in  the  preparation  of  the  fourth  edi- 
tion. He  made  provings  of  carbolic  acid, 
silicum,  physostigma,  etc.  He  also  was 
the  author  of  a  work  on  skin  diseases.

ORANGE  SCOTT  RUNNELS,  Indian- 
apolis, Indiana,  surgeon,  was  born  near  New- 
ark, Licking  county,  Ohio,  June  11,1847,  and 
was  the  eighth  child  of  Edwin  and  Lydia 
Eaton  Runnels,  who  had  a  family  of  seven 
boys  and  four  girls.  On  his  father's  side 
he  is  of  Scotch  descent.  His  ancestors  set- 
tled among  the  Acadians  of  Nova  Scotia, 
and  after  the  banishment  of  the  French 
from  the  province  emigrated. to  Massachu- 
setts. His  great-grandfather,  Stephen  Run- 
nels, was  a  member  of  the  first  company  en- 
listing at  Haverhill  after  the  battle  of  Lex- 
ington, and  was  a  participant  in  the  battle 
of  Bunker  Hill.  His  grandfather,  a  farmer  of 
Topsham,  Vermont,  emigrated  to  Ohio  in 
1819,  "built  his  cabin  in  the  woods  and 
moved  into  it  the  third  day  without  chink- 
ing, flooring  or  chimney."  His  father,  at 
the  age  of  eleven,  shared  in  the  hardships 
incident  to  the  establishment  of  his  home 
on  the  Ohio  frontier,  forty  miles  from  any 
settlement.  Guided  by  marked  trees,  he 
walked  four  miles  every  day  to  a  school- 
house,  whose  benches  were  made  of  split 
timber,  and  whose  windows  were  filled  with 
oiled  paper  instead  of  glass.  Orange  Scott 
Runnels  remained  on  his  father's  farm  until 
he  was  eighteen  years  of  age,  and  then 
went  to  Oberlin,  Ohio,  to  prepare  for  col- 
lege. He  remained  there  four  years,  win- 
ter seasons  excepted,  when  he  taught  to 
earn  money  to  defray  his  expenses.  To  in- 
crease his  meagre  income  he  spent  his  leis- 
ure time  while  a  student  in  sawing  wood  at 
seventy-five  cents  a  cord,  thus  denying  him- 
self indulgence  in  athletic  sports.  On  ac- 
count of  ill  health  he  was  unable  to  go  on 
with  his  course,  and  was  forced  to  discon- 
tinue at  the  beginning  of  his  freshman  year. 
.\t  the  age  of  twenty-two  he  entered  the 
Cleveland  Homoeopathic  Hospital  College, 
Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  in  February,  1S71. 
was  gratlualed  therefrom.  In  April  ot  tli.U 
year  he  opened  an  ortice  in  Indiaiiai'olis, 
and  actjuired  very  early  in  his  protossional 
life  a  larne  Ronoral  and  surnioal  practice,

expense  a  large  private  hospital  devoted 
exclusively  to  surgcrj'.  He  has  borne  all  the 
honors  of  his  profession  in  his  state  and 
nation.  At  the  age  of  thirty-eight  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  American  Insti- 
tute of  Homoeopathy,  and  presided  at  the 
Saratoga  session  in  1886.  During  that  year 
he  was  sent  as  the  representative  of  the 
.American  profession  to  the  World's  Ho- 
nueopathic  Congress  at  Basle,  Switzerland, 
which  body  elected  him  first  vice-president. 
He  has  been  a  voluminous  contributor  to 
professional  as  well  as  to  general  literature, 
and  possesses  an  extensive  library,  both  gen- 
eral and  special.  Some  of  his  most  noted

A.  EUGENE  .XUSTIN.  New  York  city. 
was  born  there  June  i,  1868.  son  of  Rev. 
Alonzo  Eugene  .Austin  and  Isabclle  J.  Camp. 
his  wife.  He  is  a  grandson  of  the  late  .Augus- 
tus Austin,  who  was  son  of  Ral|)li  Austin, 
who  was  son  of  Joshua  Austin,  who  was 
son  f)f  Lord  Austin  of  England.  Joshua 
Austin  was  sent  tf)  America  under  royal 
commission,  hence  remained  loyal  to  the 
crown  during  the  revolution;  and  when  his 
lands  and  property  were  confiscated  he  be- 
came master  of  an  academy  in  Philadelphia, 


Pennsylvania,  and  later  on  removed  to  New 
Milford  in  the  same  state.  Moses  Austin 
and  his  son  Stephen,  who  were  largely  in- 
strumental in  founding  Te.xas.  and  for 
whom  Austin  and  .\ustinville  (the  la'tter 
in  \'irginia)  were  named,  are  of  the  same 
family.  .Augustus  Austin  bought  large 
tracts  of  timber  land  in  Sullivan  county. 
He  was  a  giant  in  strength  and  prowess, 
full  of  humor  and  music  and  never-failing 
courtesy,  beloved  by  liis  woodsmen,  "an 
ideal  man"  to  his  little  grandson,  whose 
young  life  he  greatly  influenced:  the  city 
boy's  vacation  days  at  Eldred  were  filled 
with  delight  and  his  early  ambition  to  some 
day  own  the  place  on  the  hill  where  his 
father  was  born  and  where  his  grandpar- 
ents spent  a  part  of  their  time  in  summer, 
has  been  happily  realized.  Rev.  Alonzo  Eu- 
gene Austin,  the  doctor's  father,  is  a  man 
universally  beloved  and  admired.  A  man 
of  high  principle,  clear  judgment,  keen  in- 
tellect, ready  wit.  daring  courage,  sincere, 
sympathetic,  gracious,  a  successful  teacher 
and  preacher.  Once  he  was  very  sick  and 
was  given  up  by  his  physicians  of  the  old 
school ;  but  he  was  cured  through  the  min- 
istrations of  Dr.  Lewis  Hallock.  an  earlv 
hom<ropatli.  and  he  himself  was  thereby 
converted  to  that  medical  faith.  Later  on 
he  became  the  pioneer  missionary  of  the 
Presbvterian  board  to  the  Alaska  Indians, 
among  whom  he  built  up  the  great  indus- 
trial training  school  at  Sitka,  where  with 
his  wife  he  lived  nearly  twenty  years,  and 
among  whom  they  both  preached  and 
taught  and  practiced  medicine ;  and  this 
was  the  introduction  of  homcvopathy  in  that 
great  far-ofT  northwestern  region  of  Amer- 
ica. .Augustus  Austin  married  Phoebe  Ala- 
ri.i.  daughter  of  Hon.  James  Eldred.  who 
w.is  a  son  of  Elisha  F-Ulred  of  London, 
luigland.  James  Eldred  was  a  careful  Riblc 
student.  He  taught  its  precepts  to  his  chil- 
dren .-ind  to  the  white  settlers,  who  came 
every  Sim<lay  to  his  house  and  worshipped 
there  until  the  church  edifice  crowned  the 
near-by  hill.  He  was  a  man  of  influence 
and  substance,  a  justice  of  the  peace,  and  »

leader  among  the  people ;  and  for  nearly 
thirty-eight  years  was  deacon  in  the  church 
at  Half-way  Brook,  Highland,  since  called 
Eldred  in  his  honor.  Eldred  in  Pennsyl- 
vania was  so  named  in  allusion  to  his 
brother  Richard,  a  lawyer  of  note.  On  the 
maternal  side  Dr.  Austin  is  a  descendant 
of  the  ninth  generation  of  Nicholas  Camp 
of  Camp's  farms,-  Essex  county,  England, 
who  settled  in  Milford,  Connecticut,  1639. 
Rev.  Amzi  Camp,  the  doctor's  grandfather, 
devoted  his  life  to  missionary  labors  among 
the  worst  types  of  New  York  city  civili- 
zation, in  the  "bloody  sixth  ward,"  which 
included  '"Five  Points"  and  the  "Tombs," 
and  the  "Camp  memorial,"  a  still  flourish- 
ing old  mission  in  Chrystie  street,  is  one  of 
the  results  of  his  ministry.  Dr.  Austin's 
mother's  life  is  filled  with  good  works, 
given  to  hospitality,  charity,  faith,  prayers, 
brave,  strong  and  happy ;  her  consecration 
and  motherliness  won  the  poor  of  her  fath- 
er's mission  in  the  slums  of  the  great  city, 
the  hearts  of  the  Indians  in  Alaskan  fields, 
and  the  admiration  of  the  officers  of  the 
navy  and  other  distinguished  guests  they 
entertained.  Through  her  Dr.  Austin  is 
connected  with  several  noted  New  Eng- 
land families — the  Porters,  Hickocks,  Bun- 
nells,  Beechers,  and  is  a  descendant  of  Dea- 
con Daniel  Hovey,  who  came  to  New  Ips- 
wich, Massachusetts,  1620;  ancestors  who 
were  founders  and  patriots  in  colonial 
and  revolutionary  times.  Dr.  Austin  wa3 
educated  in  private  schools  in  New  York 
city  and  fitted  for  college  under  the  instruc-

Norwalk,  Connecticut.  He  gr.^duated  from 
Tilton  Seminary,  Tilton,  New  Hampshire, 
in  1892,  and  the  Columbia  College  of  Ora- 
tory and  School  of  Expression,  Chicago,  in 
1905.  He  was  educated  in  medicine  in  the 
College  of  Physicians  and  Surgeons,  New 
York  city,  1896;  for  three  years  was  a  pri- 
vate student  with  William  H.  Porter,  M. 
D.  He  also  iitteiuied  hospital  clinics  and 
courses  with  >|)ccialists,  and  in  i8t)7  was 
awarded  the  diploma  in  mtilicinc  of  the 
New  York   llmiiiitipailiic  Collene  and   Hos- 


pital. He  holds,  too,  the  degree  of  master 
of  homoeopathies,  conferred  by  Hering 
Medical  College,  Chicago,  April  11,  1905. 
He  practiced  four  years  in  New  York  city, 
maintaining  a  summer  office  in  Eldred,  and 
in  1904-05  was  in  Chicago  for  still  further 
study  under  the  special  instruction  of  Dr. 
James  Tyler  Kent.  He  also  studied  ma- 
teria medica  in  Hahnemann  Medical  Col- 
lege, and  with  Dr.  H.  C.  Allen  in  Hering 
Medical  College,  both  in  Chicago.  Since 
he  came  to  the  degree  Dr.  Austin  has  filled 
hospital,  clinical  and  college  appointments 
as  follows :  at  the  Sloan  Maternity  Hos- 
pital with  Dr.  Tucker;  Roosevelt  Hospital,

as  1st  lieutenant  of  a  militarj*  coiripany  in 
Tilton,  New-  Hampshire,  in  1890,  and  in 
Sitka,  Alaska,  was  one  of  the  organizers

ihe  chiefs,  sealing,  fishing,  hunting,  for 
weeks  at  a  time;  scaling  the  mountains  and 
glaciers,  shooting  the  rapids ;  many  the 
storm  he  weathered  with  them  in  canoes  on 
Ihe  Pacific,  when  the  fierce  gales  would 
blow  them  far  off  the  shore.  The  Indians 
taught  him  their  language,  hieroglyphics, 
signs  in  the  woods  and  their  weird  folk- 
lore ;  he  could  dance  their  war  dances  and 
share  in  their  festivals,  for  they  had  adopt- 
ed and  made  him  one  of  their  braves;  and 
knowing  their  language  and  customs,  he 
assisted  in  securing  some  valuable  collec- 
tions for  our  museums.  After  his  father 
and  mother  had  saved  their  tribes  with 
medical  treatment  through  the  ravages  of 
a  dreadful  scourge,  they  both  were  made 
tribesmen,  "Father"  Austin  being  given  the 
name  Cat-lay-you,  and  was  made  chief  of 
the  Crow  tribe;  the  mother's  Indian  name 
was  She-he-he,  with  the  rank  of  chief's 
w  ife  in  the  powerful  Bear  tribe ;  and  as  the 
son  always  belongs  to  his  mother's  tribe, 
Dr.  Austin  was  named  Taa-ki-ish — father 
of  nations;  and  he  was  invited  to  become  a 
chief.  Five  years  after  his  return  east  an 
old  chief  of  the  Bear  tribe  sent  him  a  sil- 
ver shield  of  the  coat  of  arms  of  the  tribe, 
with  the  message  that  the  Alaskan  Indians 
had  not  forgotten  him — Taa-ki-ish.  Dr. 
Austin  married,  April  26,  1898,  Sarah  Fran- 
ces Hall,  A.  M.,  of  New  York  city,  daugh- 
ter of  Dr.  Edwards  Hall  and  Margaret  M.

professional  career  in  St.  Louis  as  a  physi- 
cian of  the  eclectic  school,  at  the  same  time 
being  actively  connected  with  several  eclec-

also  took  an  earnest  part  in  the  councils 
of  the  Eclectic  National  Medical  Associa-

ful student  of  Hahnemann's  Organon  and 
other  works  of  the  new  school,  with  result 
in  his  complete  conversion  to  homceopathy, 
his  resignation  from  the  Eclectic  National

traced  back  to  the  Pease  family  of  En-

tury', and  still  more  remotely  to  the  time 
of  Otto  II.  of  Germany,  A.  D.  509.  As  a

AMOS  RUSSELL  THOMAS,  professor 
of  anatomy  in  Hahnemann  Medical  College 
of  Philadelphia  and  its  predecessor  insti- 
tutions for  full  forty  years,  dean  of  the 
faculty  for  more  than  twenty  years,  and 
one  of  the  most  loyal  friends  any  school 
of  medicine  ever  had,  was  born  in  Water- 
town,  Jefiferson  county.  New  York.  October 
,^.  1826,  and  died  at  his  country  home, 
Llangollen,  Devon,  Pennsylvania,  October 
31,  1895.  During  the  period  of  his  long 
and  useful  life  in  the  ranks  of  the  medical 
profession  no  man  contributed  more  than 
he  in  elevating  the  standard  of  the  homoeo- 
pathic school ;  no  man  taught  with  more 
earnestness  or  better  results,  and  no  man 
gave  more  abundantly  or  freely  in  advanc- 
ing the  interests  of  the  homoeopathic  pro- 
fession in  general,  whether  in  teaching, 
writing  or  personal  endeavor  without  the 
hope  of  recompense.  Still,  Dr.  Thomas' 
endeavors  in  behalf  of  homoeopathy  were 
not  unrewarded,  for  no  man  in  the  profes- 
sion was  more  universally  re^i)ccted  than 
he,  and  none  enjoyed  a  wider  circle  of 
friendships ;  and  withal  his  professional 
life  was  successful  and  he  was  enabled  to 
live  in  comfort  to  the  end  of  his  allotted 
three-score  years  and  ten.  Best  of  all,  he 
was  a  self-made  man,  having  carved  his 
own  way  in  life  from  the  days  of  his  young 
manhood.  His  father  was  Colonel  Azariah 
Thomas,  of  an  old  family  in  the  St.  Law- 
rence region  in  Northern  New  York  and 
who  served  as  an  officer  under  Major  Gen- 
eral  Jacob   Brown   during  the   second    war

with  Great  Britain.  He  was  of  Welsh  de- 
scent, but  his  American  ancestors  were 
among  the  early  families  of  Massachusetts. 
His  young  life  was  spent  on  the  farm,  and 
he  was  brought  up  to  hard  work.  His  edu- 
cation, both  elementary  and  professional, 
was  the  result  of  his  own  unaided  effort, 
and  was  acquired  largely  by  study  at  home, 
frequently  at  night.  He  taught  school  for 
a  time,  but  in  1850  engaged  in  mercantile 
pursuits  in  Ogdensburg,  St.  Lawrence 
county,  New  York.  Two  years  later,  1852, 
he  entered  Syracuse  Medical  College,  and 
graduated  M.  D.,  1854.  He  then  went  to 
Philadelphia  and  attended  lectures  at  the 
Pennsylvania  Medical  University,  where  he 
graduated,  and  for  the  next  three  years  he 
was  demonstrator  of  anatomy.  As  a  teacher 
of  anatomy  his  work  soon  attracted  atten- 
tion and  other  schools  began  to  draw  on 
him  for  service.  In  1856  he  was  appointed 
to  the  professorship  of  artistic  anatomy  in 
the  Pennsylvania  Academy  of  Fine  Arts, 
which  position  he  held  fourteen  years.  In 
1863  he  was  appointed  to  a  similar  position 
in  the  School  of  Design  for  Women,  Phil- 
adelphia, and  served  in  that  capacity  eight 
years.  During  the  war  of  1861-1865,  after 
the  second  Bull  Run  battle,  he  offered  his 
services  to  the  government  as  surgeon  and 
was  stationed  for  a  time  in  the  Armory 
Square  hospital  in  Washington.  During 
these  early  years  of  his  professional  life 
Dr.  Thomas  had  given  much  serious 
thought  to  the  subject  of  homoeopathy,  and 
as  his  investigations  proceeded  he  became 
convinced  of  the  superior  worth  ■  of  the 
teachings  and  principles  of  the  Hahne- 
mannian  school,  and  he  accepted  them, 
freely  and  fully,  and  arrayed  himself  un- 
equivocally with  those  who  held  to  the 
theory  of  sinttlia  similibus  curantur.  In 
i860  Dr.  Thomas  was  called  to  tlie  chair 
of  anatomy  in  the  Hahnemann  Medical 
College  of  Philadelphia,  and  from  that  time 
to  189s  he  held  that  professorship  and  per- 
formed its  duties;  from  that  time  he  was 
an  important  factor  in  the  life  of  the 
school,    and    by    liis    (K'liriiiiiKHl    force    of 


character  sustained  and  upheld  it.  He  was 
a  tower  of  strength  in  the  faculty,  and 
possessed  excellent  business  qualities,  hence 
his  appointment  to  the  deanship  in  1874 
was  only  a  natural  result.  This  oflSce  he 
held  until  the  time  of  his  death,  a  period  of 
tw-enty-one  years.  In  the  early  part  of 
1894  Dr.  Thomas  was  impelled  by  failing 
health  to  relinquish  active  professional 
work  and  to  remove  from  Philadelphia  to 
his  country  home  at  Llangollen,  Devon, 
away  from  the  busy  life  of  the  great  city; 
but  he  continued  his  course  of  lectures  un- 
til the  middle  of  November  of  the  year 
mentioned,  when  he  was  stricken  with  a 
complicated  malady  from  which  he  never 
recovered.  In  May,  1895,  he  was  removed 
to  his  home  in  Devon,  where  he  was  con- 
fined to  his  bed  until  death  relieved  his 
sufferings.  October  31,  1895.  On  Miay  8, 
1894,  the  alumni  of  the  college  celebrated 
the  fortieth  anniversary  of  Dr.  Thomas  as 
professor  of  anatomy,  and  on  that  occa- 
sion the  loyal  sons  of  the  institution  raised 
a  fund  of  five  thousand  dollars  for  the  en- 
dowment in  perpetuity  of  "The  Amos  Rus- 
sell Thomas  Free  Bed"  in  the  Hahnemann 
Hospital  in  Philadelphia.  Dr.  Thomas  was 
interested  in  the  institutions  of  homoeop- 
athy and  others  of  varied  character.  He 
was  a  member  and  a  conspicuous  figure  in 
the  work  of  the  American  Institute  of 
Homoeopathy,  the  Pennsylvania  State  and 
Philadelphia  County  Homoeopathic  Med- 
ical societies,  the  Fairmount  Park  Asso- 
ciation of  Philadelphia,  the  Pennsylvania 
Horticultural  Society,  the  Academy  of  Nat- 
ural Sciences,  the  Historical  Society  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  of  the  anatomical  Ix^ard 
of  the  state  of  Pennsylvania.  His  contribu- 
tions to  the  literature  of  honuvopatliy  in- 
clude many  mono.nraph  articles  in  published 
magazines  and  pamphlets,  and  tor  live 
years  he  was  general  editor  of  the  ".\mer- 
ican  Journal  of  Houjivopathic  Materia 
Modica."  lie  was  author  of  "Post-Mortem 
Examinations  and  Mmbiil  .Anatomy."  a 
work  which  was  highly  commended  in 
lionuropathic  medical  circles;  "Diseases  of

the  Descendants  of  William  Thomas  of 
Hardwick,  Mass.  (1678-1891),"  "A  New 
Preparation  of  tiie  Xervous  System."  etc. 
His  writings,  like  his  lectures  and  public 
addresses,  were  always  clear,  clean,  free  of 
verbiage  and  perfectly  consistent,  reflecting 
the  man  himself,  who  was  devoid  of  van- 
ity or  ostentation,  yet  always  courteous  and 
dignified — a  gentleman  of  the  best  type, 
and,  withal,  of  splendid  personal  appear- 
ance and  strikingly  handsome  face.  Dr. 
Thomas  married  Elizabeth  Bacon,  of 
AVatertown,  New  York,  who  bore  him  two 
•children,  Charles  M.  Thomas,  A.  M., 
M.  D..  of  Philadelphia,  professor  of  oph- 
thalmology and  otologA'  and  dean  of  the 
faculty  of  Hahnemann  Medical  College  and 
Hospital  of  Philadelphia;  and  Florence 
Thomas,  who  married  Dr.  J.  Nicholas 
Mitchell,  and  died  in  1880.

EDWIN  H.  JONES,  Philadelphia.  Penn-

therapeutics and  X-ray  work,  is  a  native  of 
New  Jersey;  born  April  14,  1862,  son  of  Ed- 
ward H.  and  Mary  A.  Jones.  He  was  edu- 
cated in  the  public  schools  and  later  ma 
triculated  in  Hahnemann  Medical  College 
and  Hospital,  Philadelphia,  where  he  came 
to  his  degree  in  medicine  in  i88g.  Since 
that  time  he  has  been  in  continuous  prac- 
tice with,  as  has  been  stated,  electro-thera- 
peutics and  X-ray  science  as  specialties.  In 
this  particular  field  of  professional  activity 
Dr.  Jones  has  acquired  an  enviable  reputa- 
tion, and  it  is  not  a  violation  of  any  ethical 
propriety  of  our  homoeopathic  school  to 
state  that  his  appliances  for  special  work 
are  not  equalled  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia, 
if,  indeed,  they  are  surpassed  by  any  simi- 
larlj'  equipped  establishment  in  the  coun- 
try. Best  of  all,  Dr.  Jones  himself  is  an 
electro-therapeutist  whose  name  is  known 
in  all  professional  circles  and  particularly 
in  the  societies  and  associations  of  those 
whose  practice  is  along  electro-therapeutic 
lines,  the  intelligent  and  skillful  adaption 
of  electrical  forces — galvanic,  faradic  and 
static — as  a  means  of  cure.  In  September, 
1888,  Edwin  H.  Jones  married  Katharine 
E.  Cobden  of  Woodbury,  N.  J.,  and  has  two 
children :  Byron  C.  and  Katharine  C.

ondary education  in  the  Springfield  High 
School,    wluTc   he   graduated    in    1870.     He 


fitted  for  Yale,  but  circumstances  compelled 
him  to  abandon  his  purpose  of  securing  a 
higher  education,  and  immediately  took  up 
the  study  of  medicine  and  entered  the  New 
York  Homoeopathic  Medical  College  in 
1880,  graduating  from  there  in  1883.  He

JOSEPH  HASBKOUCK,  a  prominent 
homueopathic  physician  of  DobLs  Perry, 
New  York,  is  a  native  of  Bergen  county, 
Xew  Jersey,  born  March  20,  1839,  son  of 
Augustus  Hasbrouck  and  Jane  Van  Vinkle 
Elting,  his  wife.  His  ancestry  is  of  French 
Huguenot  origin  on  both  sides,  the  Has- 
brouck family  being  descended  from  Abra- 
ham Hasbruuck,  a  native  of  Calais,  who 
removed  with  his  father  to  the  Palatinate 
in  Germany,  and  afterwards  (i(>7S)  came 
to  America,  locating  first  at  Esopus,  Ulster 
county.  New  York,  and  subse<iuently  ob- 
tained from  Governor  Andros  a  patent  for 
a  large  tract  of  land  in  New  Pallz,  where 
he  settled  permanently.  He  was  a  very 
prominent  citizen  of  that  place,  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Walloon  Protestant  church, 
and  for  many  years  a  member  of  the  pro- 
vincial assembly.    Another  Abraham,  of  the 


third  generation  from  this  ancestor,  was 
one  of  the  most  prominent  men  in  I  Ister 
county  and  for  thirty  years  a  member  of 
the  legislature.  He  died  November  10, 
1791,  in  Kingston,  New  York,  where  he  had 
settled,  and  was  buried  the  next  day  with 
the  honors  of  war.  The  homestead  of  Col. 
Jonathan  Hasbrouck,  a  brother  of  this 
.Vbraham,  is  the  famous  "  Washington's 
Headquarters"  at  Newburgh,  now  owned 
by  the  State  of.  New  York.  Dr.  Has- 
brouck's  maternal  grandfather,  Wilhclmus 
Elting,  was  also  of  Huguenot  origin,  with 
an  ancestry  that  traces  back  to  Henry  IV 
of  Prance.  He  was  pastor  of  the  Dutch 
Reformed  church  at  Paramus,  New  Jersey, 
for  fifty  years.  Joseph  Hasbrouck  received 
such  early  advantages  of  education  as  his 
native  town  supplied,  where  he  remained 
until  fifteen  years  of  age,  and  then  engaged 
in  teaching  two  years.  He  entered  the  New 
Jersey  Normal  School,  being  among  the 
first  students  to  enter  that  institution  upon 
its  opening,  and  graduated  in  regular 
course.  He  then  engaged  in  teaching  for 
ten  years,  but  during  the  last  part  of  this 
period  turned  his  attention  to  the  study  of 
medicine,  and  entering  the  medical  depart- 
ment of  the  University  of  the  City  of  New 
Y'ork,  graduated  therefrom  in  1869.  At  this 
juncture  the  claims  of  the  two  leading 
schools  of  practice  of  medicine  engaged  his 
attention,  and  after  thoroughly  investigat- 
ing the  system  of  homoeopathy,  he  arrayed 
himself  with  that  school.  He  first  com- 
menced practice  at  Goshen,  Orange  county, 
New  York,  remained  there  one  year  and 
then  removed  to  Newton,  Sussex  county, 
New  Jersey,  and  was  the  first  practitioner 
of  homoeopathy  in  that  county.  In  1875  he 
located  in  Dobbs  Ferry,  where  he  has  since 
continued  to  reside  and  where  he  has  ac- 
quired a  large  practice.  In  the  councils 
of  his  school  Dr.  Hasbrouck  occupies  a 
prominent  position.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  staff  of  the  Dobbs  Ferry  Hospital;  a 
member  of  the  Homctopathic  Medical  So- 
ciety of  the  State  of  New  Yi>rk,  and  mcm- 
Ikt   and    cx-president    of    the    Westchester

ing served  two  years  in  that  office.  He 
also  is  a  member  and  vice-president  of  the 
Holland  Society  of  New  York  for  West- 
chester county.  As  a  citizen  Dr.  Hasbrouck 
has  always  been  active,  taking  a  deep  inter- 
est in  all  public  matters  affecting  the  wel- 
fare of  his  locality,  municipal  and  political. 
He  is  a  republican,  and  cast  his  first  vote 
for  Abraham  Lincoln  in  i860,  and  only  once 
since  has  failed  to  support  his  party — in 
1876 — by  voting  for  Samuel  J.  Tilden  for 
president.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the 
Dobbs  Ferry  board  of  education  twenty- 
eight  years,  and  president  of  the  Green- 
burgh  savings  bank  twenty-five  years ;  he 
was  elected  president  of  the  village  four 
successive  years,  after  which  he  declined 
another  nomination.  Dr.  Hasbrouck,  how- 
ever, has  never  allowed  his  political  faith 
to  influence  him  in  school  or  village  in- 
terests, believing  that  these  interests  are 
best  served  by  a  scrupulous  political  non- 
partisanship.  He  has  one  son,  David  M. 
Hasbrouck,  aged  twenty-one,  a  student  at 
the  University  of  Wisconsin  in  the  scientific 
and  engineering  department,  and  two 
daughters — Mrs.  Edith  Hasbrouck  Bailey 
of  Marion,  Iowa,  and  Mrs.  Mabel  Has- 
brouck Howard  of  New  York.  His  home 
is  on  the  Livingston  place,  and  he  presented 
to  the  Empire  State  Society  of  the  Sons 
of  the  American  Revolution,  in  1894,  lh<^ 
site  which  is  now  graced  by  the  monument 
to  Washington,  Rochambcau  and  the  allied 
French  and  American  armies.

KLIZABETH  HAMILTON  MUNCIE. 
Brooklyn.  New  York,  surgeon  and  proprie- 
tor of  Muncic  Sanitarium,  Brooklyn,  and 
Muncie  Sanitarium,  Muncie  Isle,  Babylon, 
Long  Island,  was  born  in  Jamaica,  Long 
Island,  in  February,  1866,  daughter  of  Dr. 
Robert  Lewis  Hamilton  and  Lucinda  Cur- 
tis, his  wife,  a  descendant  of  German  and 
Scotch  ancestors,  among  whom  were  phy- 
sicians and  surgeons  through  many  genera- 
tions. She  acquired  her  earlier  education 
in  Packer  Collegiate  Institute,  Brooklyn, 
and  her  higher  education  in  Taylor  Univer- 
sity, from  whence  she  graduated  Ph.  M. 
in  1896;  her  medical  education  was  ob- 
tained in  the  New  York  Medical  College 
and  Hospital  for  Women,  where  she  grad- 
uated in  1891.  Leaving  her  alma  mater, 
Dr.  Muncie  at  once  entered  into  active 
practice,  and  soon  took  up  special  work 
along  the  lines  of  gynecology  and  sur- 
gery, for  which  she  became  especially  fitted 
by  special  studies  and  post-graduate  courses 
in  orificial  surgery  in  the  Chicago  llomoc- 
o]);itiiic  Medical  College  from  1892  to  1895.

course  in  that  institution,  and  special  stud- 
ies in  surgery  in  Johns  Hopkins  Hospital, 
Baltimore,  Md.  In  1896  Dr.  Muncie  was 
largely  instrumental  in  establishing  a  sani- 
tarium in  Brooklyn  for  the  surgical  treat- 
ment of  chronic  diseases,  and  in  1897  an- 
other institution  of  like  character  at  Baby- 
Ion,  Long  Island.  Here  for  several  years 
;i  post-graduate  course  in  orificial  surgery 
and  gynecolog>'  was  successfully  conducted, 
and  was  attended  by  physicians  from  vari- 
ous parts  of  the  country.  Dr.  E.  H.  Pratt 
of  Chicago  being  the  chief  operator  and  in- 
structor. The  responsibility  of  conducting 
a  private  clinic  being  very  great,  it  was 
discontinued,  although  its  success  had  been 
remarkable.  However,  patients  and  friends 
continue  to  be  received  during  the  sum- 
mer months.  Gratifying  success  has  at- 
tended Dr.  Muncie's  efforts  in  her  special 
field  of  professional  endeavor,  and  it  was 
not  until  she  had  been  operating  more  than 
two  years  in  many  critical  cases  did  a  death 
occur;  and  since  then  a  remarkable  record 
of  recoveries  shown  has  drawn  patronage 
from  adherents  to  both  schools  of  medi- 
cine, and  it  can  indeed  be  said  that  Dr. 
Muncie  has  undoubtedly  operated  in  as 
many  cases  as  any  physician  of  either  school 
in  the  east.  In  connection  with  her  busy 
professional  career  she  also  has  served  as 
consulting  surgeon  to  the  Memorial  Hos- 
pital for  Women  and  Children,  surgeon  to 
Muncie's  Sanitarium.  Brooklyn,  and  Mun-

Island,  born  December  25,  1852,  son  of 
Samuel  Muncie  and  Rebecca  Sammis,  his 
wife,  of  French  Hueguenot  descent  on  the 
paternal  and  Holland  Dutch  on  the  mater- 
nal side.  His  earlier  education  was  ac- 
quired in  the  public  schools  of  Babylon, 
his  higher  education  in  Taylor's  Univer- 
sity, where  he  graduated  Ph.  M.  in  1876. 
He  was  educated  in  medicine  in  the  New 
York  Eclectic  Medical  College,  and  came 
to  the  degree  of  that  institution  in  1878. 
Dr.  Muncie  took  post-graduate  courses  in 
the  Chicago  Homoeopathic  IMedical  College 
in  1891  and  1892,  and  in  the  following 
year  made  a  special  study  of  general  gyne- 
cology and  surgery.  His  hospital  and  col- 
lege connections  include  appointments  as 
attending  physician  to  the  Central  Dispen- 
sary and  his  incumbency  of  the  chair  of 
gynecology  in  the  New  York  Eclectic  Med- 
ical College,  his  alma  mater.  In  1895  he 
founded  and  built  a  sanitarium  on  Macon 
street  and  Marcy  avenue,  in  Brooklyn,  and 
in  the  same  year  built  an  auxiliary  insti- 
tute of  the  same  character  by  the  seashore, 
where  patients  have  the  benefits  of  the  ex- 
hilarating sea  air.  Both  of  these  have 
proved  very  successful  enterprises  and  are 
still  in  a  prosperous  condition.  Dr.  Mun-

ical Society  of  the  State  of  New  York,  the 
Kings  County  Homoeopathic  Medical  So-

and  Mary  Anne  Heyl,  his  wife,  and  in- 
herits Welsh  blood  on  both  his  father's  and 
mother's  side.  His  father  was  a  clergy- 
man of  the  Episcopal  church,  a  man  of 
splendid  educational  attainments,  and  a  lin- 
guist of  note,  versed  in  seven  languages, 
and  it  was  he  who  directed  the  early  edu- 
cation of  the  son  to  whom  this  sketch  re- 
fers, although  the  latter  was  otherwise  edu- 
cated in  the  Philadelphia  public  schools, 
graduated  from  the  high  school,  and  later 
attended  the  Episcopal  Academy  in  Phila- 
delphia, where  he  was  grounded  in  the 
higher  branches — Latin,  Greek  and  higher 
mathematics.  Later  he  was  apprenticed  by 
indenture  to  learn  the  drug  business  and 
served  out  his  full  time.  He  then  com- 
menced the  study  of  medicine  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Pennsylvania,  and  shortly  after- 
ward became  convinced  of  the  truth  of  the 
therapeutic  law  of  similia,  upon  which  he 
transferred  his  attendance  to  the  Homoe- 
opathic Medical  College  of  Pennsylvania, 
where  he  came  to  the  degree  in  1S69.  Later 
he  attended  a  full  course  of  lectures  in 
Hahnemann  Medical  College  and  Hospital, 
Chicago.  At  the  time  of  the  Chicago  fire, 
1871,  Dr.  Evans,  in  association  with  Dr. 
Oilman,  organized  the  first  medical  bureau, 
which  was  officially  recognized  by  the  city 
authorities  until  the  medical  department  of 
the  Relief  and  Aid  Society  was  instituted 
two  weeks  later,  when  his  own  and  Dr. 
Oilman's  services  were  required  by  the  med- 
ical board.  In  1S72  Dr.  Evans  was  made 
one  of  the  sub-editors  of  the  "  Medical  In- 
vestigator," and  in  1S91  became  editor  of 
that  journal.  In  1887  he  was  made  editor 
of  the  "  Medical  Publishers'  Record."  He 
has  contributed  largely  to  the  liter.it iire  of 
his  profession,  not  only  to  the  publications 
above  mentioned,  but  also  to  numerous 
other  medical  journals.  He  is  a  member 
of  liie  American  Institute  of  Homtropathy,

"  William  and  Francis."  He  was  then  sev- 
enty-one years  old,  and  afterward  preached 
in  Lynn  and  other  adjacent  towns,  and  it 
is  probable  that  he  was  the  minister  who

Roger  Williams.  In  1638  he  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  settlement  of  Hampton,

1645  went  with  John  Winlhrop.  Jr.,  to 
New  London,  Connecticut.  From  that  town 
the   Willey   descendants    spread,    and    those

CLEMENCE  SOPHIA  LOZIER  was 
born  December  11,  1813,  in  Plaintield,  New 
Jersey,  and  was  the  youngest  of  thirteen 
children.  Her  father,  David  Harned,  was 
a  man  of  high  moral  worth.  Her  mother, 
Hannah  Walker,  was  a  woman  of  fine  in- 
tellect and  great  force  of  character.  She 
was  a  cousin  of  the  late  Dr.  Carroll  Dun- 
ham. The  brother  of  Hannah  Walker 
Harned  was  a  physician,  and  she  studied 
and  practiced  with  him.  Two  of  her  chil- 
dren were  physicians,  Dr.  William  Harned 
and  Dr.  Clemence  Lozier.  Dr.  Lozier  was 
left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of  eleven  years. 
Her  early  education  was  acquired  at  Plain- 
field  Academy,  and  in  1829  she  married 
Abraham  W.  Lozier,  an  architect  and 
builder  of  New  York  city.  Her  husband 
becoming  an  invalid,  she  opened  a  school 
for  young  ladies  in  1832,  and  conducted  it 
until  1843.  Soon  after  the  death  ol  her 
husband  she  associated  with  Mrs.  Margaret 
Pryor  as  a  visitor  for  the  Moral  Reform 
and  Female  Guardian  Society,  now  known 
as  the  Home  for  the  Friendless.  She  was 
also  one  of  the  editors  of  the  "  Moral  Re- 
form Gazette."  Her  attention  liad  early 
been  directed  to  the  study  of  medicine  by 
the  fact  that  several  of  her  relatives  were 
physicians,  and  her  tastes  and  inclinations 
Kd  her  to  desire  a  medical  education  for

the  Eclectic  College  in  Rochester,  and  was 
graduated  with  the  highest  honor  of  her 
class  from  the  New  York  Central  Medical 
College  in  Syracuse,  in  March.  1853,  as 
no  college  of  cither  of  the  dominant  schools 
at  that  time  permitted  women  to  study  med- 
icine and  graduate.  In  1853  she  began 
practice  in  Xew  York  city,  and  continued 
active  in  professional  work  until  her  death. 
Few  practitioners  had  such  marked  success 
as  she  in  the  treatment  of  diseases  of 
women,  and  few  derived  such  pecuniary 
benefits.  Her  intuitive  discernment,  quick 
sympathy,  gracious  tact  and  gentle  patience, 
added  to  her  inherited  talent  for  the  prac- 
tice of  medicine,  fully  fitted  her  for  the 
profession.  In  i860  she  began  a  course  of 
lectures  in  her  own  parlors  to  her  own  pa- 
tients ;  these  lectures  led  to  the  founding 
of  the  New  York  Medical  College  and 
Hospital  for  Women,  which  was  chartered 
in  1863.  In  this  college  she  was  clinical 
professor  and  also  dean  of  the  faculty  for 
more  than  a  score  of  years.  She  gave  to 
the  institution  more  than  twenty-five  thou- 
sand dollars,  and  never  received  a  single 
fee  from  it.  It  was  the  first  medical  col- 
lege exclusively  for  women  in  the  world. 
For  many  years  Dr.  Lozier  was  prominently 
connected  with  the  advocacy  of  woman  suf- 
frage. She  was  president  of  the  New  York 
Woman's  Suffrage  Society  thirteen  years, 
and  of  the  National  Woman's  Suffrage  As- 
sociation five  years.  She  also  had  been 
president  of  the  Moral  Education  Society 
of  New  York  city  and  of  the  Woman's 
American  Temperance  League.  In  1867  Dr. 
Lozier  visited  Europe  for  the  purpose  of 
inspecting  the  hospitals  there  and  was  re- 
ceived with  distinguished  consideration  by 
eminent  members  of  the  profession.  She 
was  an  occasional  contributor  to  medical 
and  other  journals.  In  1886  she  had  a  se- 
vere illness,  which  nearly  proved  fatal.  On 
April  24,  1888,  as  d^an,  she  delivered  an 
address  at  the  commencement  of  the  med- 
ical college  and  on  the  next  day  attended 
the  annual  meeting  of  the  alumnae  associ- 
ation, of  which  she  was  nii  IiniKir.-irv  num- 


ber. On  Thursday,  .\pril  26,  she  was  en- 
gaged with  friends  and  patients,  but  in  the 
evening  of  that  day  she  complained  of  fa- 
tigue and  retired  early.  About  nine  o'clock 
she  simimoned  her  maid,  telling  her  that 
she  feared  an  attack  of  "  angina,"  having 
suffered  from  angina  pectoris  for  several 
years.  She  was  very  restless  until  after 
ten,  when  she  suddenly  ceased  to  breathe. 
She  passed  out  of  this  life  without  a  pain 
or  a  struggle.  The  funeral  services  were 
held  at  the  Central  Methodist  church  on 
Seventh  avenue.  The  officiating  clergymen 
were  the  Rev.  Dr.  Heber  Newton,  Bishop 
Cyrus  Foss,  Rev.  Dr.  Harrower,  Rev.  Dr. 
Burchard,  Rev.  E.  S.  Tippel  and  Bishop 
John  P.  Newman,  the  latter  of  whom  de- 
livered the  eulogj'.

December  8,  1850,  son  of  Alexander  P. 
and  Mary  E.  (Thomson)  Spencer.  His 
ancestors  for  several  generations  have  been 
New  Englanders  and  descendants  of  sturdy 
English  stock.  His  maternal  great-grand- 
father, Samuel  Thomson,  was  the  founder 
of  the  botanic  system  of  medicine,  now 
called  the  "  Physeo-Medical  School."  He

and  he  did  more  than  any  other  one  man 
in  America  in  developing  the  medical  prop- 
erties of  indigenous  plants.  Before  his

STUART  CLOSE,  Brooklyn,  New  York, 
a  native  of  Oakfield,  Wisconsin,  was  born 
November  24,  i860,  and  comes  of  a  long 
line  of  ancestors  from  an  ancient  English 
family.  The  name,  which  signifies  a  piece 
of  ground  enclosed  with  hedge,  wall  or 
water,  is  of  agricultural  origin,  though  iii- 
limately  associated  with  ecclesiastical  usage 
in  which  it  is  applied  specifically  to  denote 
the  precinct  of  a  cathedral  or  abbey.  Eng- 
lish anlhorities  on  lieraldry  assign  five  coats 
r>f  arms  to  different  branches  of  tlie  Close 
family,  l-'irst  and  most  notable  of  these 
is  ihat   CDnfcrrcd   ui>iiii   Niclmlas  Close,  na- 


tive of  Westmoreland,  by  Henry  VI  in 
1448-9,  for  his  services  as  architect  and 
overseer  of  construction  of  Kings  College, 
Cambridge.  Nicholas  Close  was  doctor  of 
divinity,  one  of  the  six  original  fellows  of 
Kings  College,  chancellor  of  the  university, 
and  was  promoted  to  the  bishopric  of  Car- 
lisle in  1450;  transferred  by  papal  provision 
in  1452  to  the  bishopric  of  Litchfield  and 
Coventrj^  where  he  died  in  October,  1452. 
Arms :  argent,  on  a  chevron  sable  three 
passion  nails  of  the  first  on  a  chief  sable 
three  roses  argent.  The  first  member  of 
the  Close  family  to  arrive  in  America  was 
Phettiplace  Close,  who  came  to  Virginia 
in  the  ship  "  Star  "  in  1608,  with  the  second 
expedition  under  Sir  Walter  Raleigh.  He 
was  one  of  the  first  burgesses  of  the  col- 
ony. His  descendants  have  not  been  traced. 
John  Close,  the  first  member  of  that  branch 
of  the  famil}'  from  which  Dr.  Close  is  de- 
scended, arrived  in  America  about  1642. 
He  was  an  English  yeoman,  who  came  with 
his  wife  Elizabeth  and  five  children,  and 
became  one  of  the  first  settlers  of  Fair- 
field, Connecticut,  where  he  died  some  time 
prior  to  1654.  His  widow,  Elizabeth  Close, 
and  four  of  her  five  children  removed  to 
Stamford,  Connecticut,  where  she  married 
one  George  Stuckey.  From  her  son, 
Thomas  Close,  one  of  the  earliest  settlers 
of  Greenwich,  Connecticut,  descended  most 
of  those  who  bear  the  name  of  Close  in 
the  Lhiited  States.  The  family  was  promi- 
nent in  Greenwich  and  vicinity,  intermarry- 
ing with  many  of  the  leading  families,  and 
its  descendants  are  numerous  there  to  this 
day.  Gradually,  beginning  about  the  mid- 
dle of  the  eighteenth  century,  the  family 
spread  northward  through  Westchester. 
Tutnam  and  Dutchess  counties  of  New 
York,  following  the  course  of  the  old  Al- 
bany jiost  road,  settling  in  Saratoga  and 
Montgomery  counties  shortly  after  the  close 
of  the  revolution.  From  there  the  family 
spread  westwartl.  Thomas  Close  of  Green- 
wich had  four  sons  and  four  daughterii.

ton,  Dutchess  county.  New  York,  where  he 
was  one  of  ihe  fovmdcrs  of  the  Millcrton 
Baptist  church.  One  of  his  sons,  Abel 
Close,  settled  in  Minaville.  Montgomery 
county.  New  York,  where  he  married  Mary 
McConkey,  daughter  of  William  McConkey, 
the  owner  of  McConkey's  ferry  across  the 
Delaware  river,  nine  miles  above  Trenton, 
New  Jersey,  at  the  time  it  was  made  fa- 
mous as  the  place  of  Washington's  cross- 
ing, December  25,  1776,  just  prior  to  the 
battle  of  Trenton.  The  McConkey  house, 
which  is  still  standing,  was  used  by  Wash- 
ington as  his  headquarters  on  that  memora- 
ble occasion,  and  there  he  and  his  staff 
were  entertained  by  the  McConkeys,  both 
before  and  after  the  battle.  Abel  Close 
was  great-grandfather  of  Dr.  Stuart  Close. 
William  Close,  eldest  son  of  Abel  Close, 
was  a  highly  respected  farmer  of  Mont- 
gomery county.  His  eldest  son,  David 
Close,  removed  in  1854  to  Oakfield,  Fond 
du  Lac  county,  Wisconsin,  where  he  mar- 
ried Sophronia  Wells,  daughter  of  Joseph 
Wells,  of  New  Hampshire  stock,  May  24, 
1858.  David  and  Sophronia  Wells  Close 
had  three  children,  of  whom  the  eldest  is 
Dr.  Stuart  Close.  He  received  his  educa- 
tion in  the  country  district  schools,  and  by 
private  reading  and  study.  He  remained 
on  his  father's  farm  until  fourteen  years 
of  age.  In  1874  the  family  removed  to 
California  and  settled  in  Napa  City,  where 
the  youth  engaged  in  various  occupations 
to  earn  his  own  expenses  while  further  pur- 
suing his  studies.  In  1879  he  entered  upon 
the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of  a  Napa 
City  attorney,  but  continued  this  only  about 
one  year.  The  death  of  his  father  in  1879 
and  the  subsequent  marriage  of  his  mother 
with  Dr.  J.  Pitman  Dinsmore,  for  many 
years  one  of  the  leading  homoeopathic  phy- 
sicians of  San  Francisco,  turned  the  young 
man's  thoughts  to  medicine  as  a  preferable 
profession.  Dr.  Dinsmore,  who  was  a  class- 
mate of  the  late  Dr.  William  Tod  Hel- 
muth,  encouraged  and  directed  his  prelim- 
inary studies,  giving  him  a  specially  thor- 
ough   training    in    Hahnemann's    Drgauoii. 


In  1S82  he  entered  the  Medical  College  of 
the  Pacific  in  San  Francisco  (now  the 
Cooper  Medical  College),  where  he  at- 
tended the  lectures  and  passed  the  exam- 
inations of  the  first  and  second  years  of 
a  three  years'  cours^.  He  then  went  to 
New  York  and  entered  the  New  York  Ho- 
moeopathic Medical  College,  where  he  grad- 
uated in  1885,  after  taking  two  more  courses 
of  lectures.  Naturally  a  student  and  a  hard 
worker.  Dr.  Close  on  leaving  college  took 
up  a  long  course  of  advanced  study  in  the 
philosophy  and  practice  of  homncopalhy, 
under  the  late  Dr.  Phineas  Parkhurst  Wells 
of  Brooklyn,  one  of  the  most  eminent  of 
American  homoeopathicians.  This  associa- 
tion and  friendship,  terminated  only  by  the 
death  of  Dr.  Wells  in  1S91,  gave  form 
and  precision  to  the  method  and  technique 
of  practice  which  Dr.  Close  has  pursued 
and  which  has  won  for  him  a  high  place 
in  the  ranks  of  American  Hahnemannians. 
He  is  a  therapeutic  specialist  along  strictly 
Hahnemannian  lines,  and  an  expert  in  ma- 
teria medica,  devoting  himself  largely  to 
chronic  and  complicated  diseases  and  to 
consultation  work.  He  has  developed  the 
department  of  treatment  by  correspondence 
and  conducts  a  large  number  of  cases  by 
this  method  in  all  parts  of  the  United 
States.  He  has  written  extensively  for  the 
medical  press  on  medico-philosophical  sub- 
jects, and  has  delivered  addresses  before 
many  medical  societies.  On  April  11,  1905, 
he  delivered  the  commencement  address  be- 
fore Hering  Medical  College  of  Chicago, 
celebrating  at  the  same  time  the  one  hun- 
dred and  fiftieth  anniversary  of  Hahne- 
mann's birth.  The  subject  of  his  address 
on  this  occasion  was  "The  Simple  Life  in 
Medicine."  In  1897  Dr.  Close  organized 
the  Brooklyn  Hahnemannian  Union,  an  as- 
sociation of  physicians  meeting  monthly  at 
his  house  for  the  reading  of  papers  and 
holding  of  discussions  upon  the  principles 
and  practice  of  pure  homrcopalhy.  Many 
of  the  papers  presented  at  these  meetings 
have  appeared  in  the  medical  journals  of 
the    day.      He    possesses    one    of   the    most

valuable  and  complete  libraries  of  homce- 
opathic  books  and  pamphlets  in  the  United 
States,  besides  a  large  general  library,  the 
whole  numbering  over  ten  thousand  titles. 
It  is  especially  rich  in  early  American  ho- 
moeopathic publications,  most  of  which  are 
extremely  rare,  and  in  works  upon  psychol- 
ogy, neurology  and  philosophy.  He  is 
deeply  interested  in  music  and  in  painting, 
and  his  home  contains  many  art  treasures. 
He  also  is  an  enthusiastic  genealogist  and 
is  engaged  on  a  genealogy  and  history  of 
the  Close  family.  The  crowning  honor  of 
Dr.  Close's  career  was  conferred  upon  him 
at  Chicago  on  June, 24,  1905,  when  he  was 
unanimously  elected  president  of  the  Inter- 
national Hahnemannian  Association  during 
the  celebration  of  the  twenty-fifth  anniver- 
sary of  the  founding  of  the  association, 
and  the  one  hundred  and  fiftieth  anniver- 
sary of  the  birth  of  Hahnemann.  It  was 
regarded  as  peculiarly  fitting  that  the  asso- 
ciation on  its  twenty-fifth  anniversary 
should  elect  as  its  president  one  who  had 
sat  at  the  feet  of  Dr.  P.  P.  Wells,  its 
first  president,  and  who  had  so  loyally 
maintained  the  methods  and  principles  for 
which  he  was  famous.  Dr.  Close  married, 
April  21,  1885,  Evangeline  L.  Lewis,  only 
child  of  Rev.  Valentine  Augustus  and  Mary 
L.  Crandall  Lewis,  then  of  Boston,  Massa- 
chusetts. Shortly  after  his  marriage  Dr. 
Close  established  his  home  in  Brooklyn, 
where  he  has  since  resided.  Three  children 
have  been  born  to  him — May  Lewis  Close, 
born  January  18,  1886;  Elizabeth  Stuart 
Close,  born  February  20,  1887,  and  Bernard 
Wells  Close,  born  December  21,   1888.

generation,  and  her  years  of  persistent  study 
were  dedicated  to  a  single  aim — that  of 
becoming  a  recognized  and  appointed  mem- 
ber of  the  great  profession  of  medicine; 
and  that  she  has  succeeded  is  due  as  much 
to  her  own  native  force  of  character  and 
her  desire  to  alleviate  the  sufferings  of 
afflicted  humanity  as  to  the  advantages  of 
thorough  education  and  other  contributory 
circumstances.  It  was  the  incessant  de- 
mand on  her  time  and  attention  that  im- 
pelled her  in  1896  to  decline  the  tendered 
appointment  of  examining  physician  for  the 
Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  of  New 
York,  an  offer  inspired  by  recognition  of 
her  rare  qualifications  for  such  a  responsible 
and   advantageous  office.
