CORNETT, WILLIAM T. S .- Madison (1805-1897) . Was born July 11, 1805, at Carrolton, Ky., and died at Madison, Ind., May 6, 1897. He came to Indiana, locating at Versailles, Ripley county, in 1825, where he remained in active practice for forty years. At the time Dr. Cornett located in Indiana, each judicial dis- trict constituted a medical district, and the district society had three censors whose duty it was to examine applicants, and if found qualified they would give a permit to practice until the next meeting of the society. Dr. Cornett came under this rule. In 1852 the Univer- sity of Louisville and the Indiana Central Medical Col- lege each conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
Dr. Cornett was the first president of the Indiana State Medical Society, and delivered the first annual address at Indianapolis, May 15, 1850. Published in Transactions 1850, 13.
In 1866, having become somewhat infirm, Dr. Cor- nett gave up active practice and removed to Madison, where he practiced only in consultation. Here he be- came interested in geology and in time became thor- oughly familiar with the geology of southern Indiana.
He represented the county of Ripley in the State Senate for six years, beginning in 1841. Dr. Cornett writes (I. M. J., May, 1893, 323) : "At the session of 1843-4, when the revenue bill of the House was re- ported to the Senate I moved to amend the bill so that an additional one cent on the hundred dollars be levied as a fund with which to build a Lunatic Asylum. This amendment was carried in the Senate, and the House concurred in the amendment. With this fund a farm was purchased near Indianapolis, and on it the first Hospital for the Insane erected. This property is said now to be worth a million and a half dollars. The his-

Dr. Cornett contributed a number of valuable papers on medical topics to various journals. In the Transac- tions of our state society he gave an admirable address on the "Use, Progress, State and Future Prosperity of Medical Science," 1850, 13.

In 1848 the Trustees of Indiana Asbury University, contemplating the estab- lishment of a medical department, Dr. Curran was in- vited to locate in Greencastle, and assist in its organ- ization. The invitation was accepted. On the meet- ing of the board it was found impracticable to con- summate their plans, but Dr. Curran was elected pro- fessor of physiology in the literary department, which chair he filled until the medical department was or- ganized, when with it he removed to Indianapolis in 1850. In 1852, failing health compelled him to return to Jeffersonville. From 1853 to 1857, he served as physician to the Indiana State prison. In 1855 he was elected to the professorship of materia medica and therapeutics in the Kentucky School of Medicine. Dr. Curran was an earnest Christian .- Abridged from "Biographical Sketch," by Dr. F. A. Seymour, of Jef- fersonville, Trans. 1872, p. 133.

diana when he was an infant and located on White River, in Pike County. At the age of 18 he began the study of medicine, graduating from the medical de- partment of the university at Louisville, Ky. He began the practice of his profession at Rockport, In- diana, where he remained nearly twenty years. He was married Sept. 2, 1847, to Miss Sarah E. Graham, daughter of Judge J. W. Graham, of Rockport, In- diana. Their son, Claude Graham De Bruler, was their only child.
In 1858, Dr. De Bruler moved to Evansville, Indiana, where he lived until his death.

DE BRULER, JAMES P .- Evansville (1877-1909). Was born at Evansville, Indiana, June 25, 1877; died at San Juan, Porto Rico, May 7, 1909. Grandson of Dr. James P.

DEMING, ELIZUR H .- Lafayette (1797-1855). Dr. Deming was born in Great Barrington, Mass., March 4, 1797. He was a graduate of Williamstown College, and was considered the best Hebrew scholar that ever graduated from that institution. The Greek and Latin languages were almost as familiar to him as the Eng- lish. In 1827 he received the degree of M.D. In 1821 he removed to Chillicothe, Ohio, and began the practice of medicine, but being a Mason, and at that time the order being persecuted, he changed his residence. In 1833 he received a commission as surgeon in the U. S. Army, but owing to the prevalence of cholera he re- signed and went home to care for his family. In 1834 he located in Lafayette. In 1842 he defeated Hon. J. Petit for the legislature, running as an anti-slavery candidate. In 1846 he was appointed to the chair of materia medica and therapeutics in the Laporte Med- ical College. In 1853 he was appointed to the chair of general pathology and clinical medicine, in the Univer- sity of Missouri, and had just completed his second course before his decease.
Before his appointment in Missouri, an informal cor- respondence was had with him by the Regents of the University of Michigan, in reference to his appoint- ment to the presidency of that institution. However, his anti-slavery views were an insuperable objection with those guardians of private opinion, whose astute- ness detected the dangerous heterodoxy, which the dull official perception of Missouri statesmen totally over- looked. "Of whom the world was not worthy!" He died Feb. 23, 1855. He was president of the state society in 1854, and delivered an address, found on page 14 of the Transactions for that year. The reader will find a beautiful and scholarly Bibliographical sketch of the late Dr. Deming, by the late Dr. John S. Bobbs, from which I have condensed the above, in State Transactions for 1857, p. 53.

DUNLAP, JOHN M .- Indianapolis (1829-1899). S. T. 1899, 408. From 1869 to 1872 he was demonstrator of anatomy in the Medical College of Indiana. Later he abandoned general practice and devoted himself to diseases of the nose and throat. See I. M. J., Vol. xvii, 404.
DUNLAP, LIVINGSTON. - Indianapolis (1799- 1862). Was present at organization of State Medical Convention in 1849, and presided at that meeting. At this convention Dr. John H. Sanders was temporary and Dr. Livingston Dunlap permanent president.
DUNNING, LEHMAN H. - Indianapolis (1850- 1906). Was born at Edwardsburg, Michigan, April 12, 1850, and died at Indianapolis, Jan. 4, 1906. He began the practice of medicine at Troy, Michigan, removed to South Bend, Indiana, in 1873, and to Indianapolis in 1889, where he continued to reside until the date of his death.
While residing at South Bend his work and contribu- tions to medical literature began to attract attention. Probably he was the first in the state to treat the float- ing kidney by fixation. He also did nephrectomy for suppurative diseases. His early gynecological papers are case reports with remarks, evincing thorough study, as they pertain to developmental deficiencies and anomalies of the uterus to pelvic peritonitis and to mammary and uterine cancer. A very interesting arti- cle may be read on "Report of a Case of Extirpation of the Kidney, with Remarks," Trans. 1887, 127. The patient made a good recovery.
Preparatory to removal to Indianapolis he spent some time abroad in the hospitals in Vienna, London, and Paris. On his return he was appointed adjunct professor of diseases of women in the Indiana Medical College. Upon the death of Dr. Thomas B. Harvey he was succeeded as professor of medical and surgical dis- eases of women by Dr. Dunning. This new field being opened, he rapidly developed as a lecturer and instruc- tor, until he became an expert teacher and operator.
Honors came to Dr. Dunning. He was chosen to the office of president of the Indianapolis Medical Society, the Indianapolis Gynecological Society, and the Amer- .

ican Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and in 1905 Chairman of the Section on Gynecology of the American Medical Association.
Professionally, Dr. Dunning died prematurely young. He was a religious man and an ardent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

EASTMAN, JOSEPH. - Indianapolis (1842-1902) . S. T. 1903, 340. Dr. Eastman was born in Fulton county, New York, Jan. 29, 1842. His early education was limited. For three years past the age of eighteen he worked at the trade of a blacksmith. In 1861 he was a member of the Seventy-seventh New York Vol- unteers, and during actual conflict in battle showed himself to be a brave soldier. After the battle of Will- iamsburg he was taken sick and was sent to Mount Pleasant Hospital, Washington, D. C. After his recov- ery he was appointed hospital steward in the United States Army and graduated from the University of Georgetown in 1865. Until 1866 he served as a sur- geon in the U. S. Volunteers and was mustered out at Nashville, Tenn., the same year. Dr. Eastman en- gaged in general practice of medicine and surgery, first in Clermont and later in Brownsburg, Indiana, and in 1875 located in Indianapolis, when he became demon- strator of anatomy in the college of physicians and surgeons in that city. At the organization of the Cen- tral College of Physicians and Surgeons, in 1879, Dr. Eastman accepted the chair of anatomy and clinical surgery and was one of the most prominent members

of the faculty. At a later period he became its presi- dent and the title of his chair was changed to diseases of women and abdominal surgery, continuing in this department of medicine, in which he became so emi- nent, until his death. From 1886 his practice was limited to diseases of women and abdominal surgery. Hirst's Obstetrics, Vol. ii, page 267-270, gives him credit for being the second in the world and the only American surgeon who, in operating for extra-uterine pregnancy, has dissected out the entire sac which con- tained a living child, and saved the life of both mother and child. In 1891 Wabash College conferred upon him the degree of LL.D. For many years Dr. Eastman had been a contributor to the more prominent medical journals of the United States and he has been given credit for a considerable amount of original work in the department of abdominal surgery. Most of the instruments which he used were either invented by himself or an improvement upon the ideas advanced by others. He was one of the founders of The Medical and Surgical Monitor. He contributed a number of valuable papers to the State Society: "Upward Dis- location of the Sternal End of the Clavicle," Trans. 1878, 98; "Excision of the Knee Joint, with Cases," Trans. 1879, 108; "A Few Thoughts on the Anatomy, Surgery and Hygiene of the Rectum," Trans. 1883, 155; "Four Cases of Abdominal Surgery, with Com- ments," Trans. 1884, 82; "Abdominal Surgery, with Cases and Comments," Trans. 1885, 96; "A Case of Hysterectomy, with Practical Comments on Laparo- tomy," Trans. 1887, 133; "Ovarian Statistics-Twenty- one Cases," I. M. J., December, 1886, 379.
Dr. Eastman was among the first, if not the first abdominal surgeon in Indiana to operate in doubtful cases. Prior to his time surgeons hesitated to operate in critical cases for fear of a high mortality record. He was fearless, and saved many valuable lives in his own practice, and taught other surgeons to do like- wise. "By rare force of character, determination and hard work he advanced himself to a position of acknowledged learning and skill in surgery, gaining a fame which was both national and international, and

his personality made a strong impression upon patients and doctors alike."-Dr. Theodore Potter. See Stone, p. 150; I. M. J., Vol., xxi, 40. Also "A Sketch," by Dr. Samuel E. Earp, Med. and Surgical Monitor, June, 1902 (with portrait), from which much of the above information was derived. He was the first in America to operate in extra-uterine pregnancy of the tubal variety, dissecting out the entire sac.
