BOBBS, JOHN S .- Indianapolis (1809-1870). Was born at Greenvillage, Pennsylvania, Dec. 28, 1809, and died at Indianapolis, May 1, 1870. Dr. Bobbs located at Indianapolis in 1835, but took a course of lectures in Jefferson Medical College the same year, graduating in 1836. When the Medical College of Indiana was organized, he was elected professor of surgery, and later dean of the faculty. Dr. P. H. Jameson says that the latter part of his life was devoted mainly to sur- gery, and that "he was original and bold almost to recklessness." Dr. Bobbs was one of the original com- missioners who organized the Indiana Hospital for the Insane. He was a state senator for one term. During the Civil War he was brigade surgeon on the staff of Gen. T. A. Morris. At his death he gave $2,000 for a dispensary, and $5,000 for a free medical library. He was not an extensive contributor to med- ical or surgical literature. In The Transactions of the State Medical Society for 1868, 1, may be found Dr. Bobbs' address as President of the society. It is a valuable paper, and is entitled, "The Origin, Objects and Progress of the Indiana State Medical Society." In that paper he makes a special plea for the estab- lishment of a medical journal, to be the organ of the profession in the state. The crowning glory of Dr. Bobbs' professional life is his well earned reputation as the "Founder of Cholecystotomy," inasmuch as he was the first to open the gall-bladder. The operation was performed June 15, 1867, the patient, a woman thirty years of age, made a thorough recovery, and is living at the present time. The original paper, which has elicited so much interest of late years, was entitled "Case of Lithotomy of the Gall-Bladder," and was pub- lished in the State Transactions, 1868, 68. Republished

In 1842 he moved to Milroy, in same county, where he continued to practice until the spring of 1862, when he removed to Greensburg, and con- tinued practice until a few years before his death.
He studied medicine with Dr. H. G. Sexton, at Rush- ville, Indiana. He had no educational advantages, except five months in school, schools of an insufficient order even for that day.

BULLARD, TALBOTT .- Indianapolis (1815-1863). Dr. Bullard was a native of Massachusetts, and a de- scendant of Puritanic stock. He came to Indianapolis about the year 1844, where he formed a partnership with Dr. Mears. He was a physician, with no desire to invade the domain of surgery. It was not his prac- tice first to use emetics or cathartics, or both, to pre- pare the system for the use of quinin, as was the custom of many in his day. He declared that delays often allowed the patient to die, so he gave that remedy in full doses from the start, whether the pa- tient had fever or no fever. In 1850, Dr. Bullard had a painful experience in his obstetric practice. Dr. Holmes had not yet promulgated his views on the con- tagiousness of puerperal fever, but it was demon- strated in the work of Dr. Bullard who lost ten cases in one year, when he sadly abandoned all obstetric work for some months. In 1862, Dr. Bullard organized and conducted for a time a hospital for sick Confed- erate soldiers confined at Camp Morton. He went on a mission to attend Indiana soldiers at Vicksburg, and while in the line of duty contracted a malignant dys- entery. He returned home to survive but a short time, dying prematurely at the age of forty-eight. Address, S. T. 1859, 11, sketch S. T. 1894, 212j.

BYFORD, WILLIAM H .- Chicago (1817-1890). The subject of this sketch was born at Eaton, Ohio, March 20, 1817; when he was a mere child his parents re- moved to New Albany, Ind., where they remained but a short time, and then removed to Crawford county, Ill. Here the future physician began to learn the trade of a tailor, and later removed to Vincennes, Ind., where he continued to work at his trade. Colonel Vail, with whom I served in the Civil War, told me that he had often seen young Byford sitting on his bench at work, with a Latin grammar at his side, with which he employed every spare moment. He began his practice at Owensville, Ind., under the custom then prevailing in this state, armed with a certificate signed by three commissioners appointed for the purpose. He graduated at the Ohio Medical College in 1844. He practiced at Mt. Vernon until 1850, when he removed to Evansville to accept the chair of anatomy in the Evansville Medical College. In 1852 he was transferred to the chair of Theory and Practice, a position he re-

tained until 1856, at which time the school ceased to exist. He continued to practice in Evansville until 1857, when he was called to Chicago to fill the chair of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children. His rapid rise in that city was a pride to all his Indiana friends, but can be only alluded to in this article, which is confined to Indiana triumphs in medi- cine. Educating himself in the midst of lowly poverty, and rising to a high rank as a practitioner, lecturer, and author, his life and example are a stimulus to others. His distinguished son, Dr. Henry T. Byford, was born in Evansville, Nov. 12, 1853. In the Trans- actions of the Indiana State Medical Society for 1854, p. 78, Dr. Byford contributes "Report of the Proceed- ings of the American Medical Association."

A few years later he built a commodious frame dwelling on the Circle, where he resided until 1853, and then moved to Galena, Ill., where he died in 1855. His remains were brought back and buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, by the side of his wife.

He exerted an influence for good in Indian- apolis which will continue to the end of time.
