HENRY LEBER COIT.
Henry Leber Coit was born at Peapack, New Jersey, on March 16, 1854, the son of Rev. John Summerfield Coit, and died at his home in Newark, New Jersey, in March, 1917. He was descended, being the eighth in the line of descendants, from Ensign Cornelius Nevius, who was engaged in Queen Anne's war in 1689, being stationed at a fort on Staten Island.
Dr. Coit was admitted to membership in our Society May 3, 1907, State Number 110, General Number 4108. He served as Surgeon of the Society from 1907-1909 and from 1911-1915.
The Physician's first education was acquired in the Newark Public Schools. He afterwards attended the College of Pharmacy in New York City, graduating as valedictorian of his class in 1876, and followed the profession of chemistry for four years. He then entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City, from which Institution he was graduated in 1883, after which he began the practice of medi- cine in Newark.
In 1876 he married Miss Emma Gwinnell, daughter of Mr. J. M. Gwinnell of Newark.
The two great movements that will be identified with the life work of Dr. Coit are the Certified Milk Crusade, and the Babies' Hospital in Newark, the latter being the first Institu- tion of its kind in the United States. The Babies' Hospital was incorporated in May, 1896, and Dr. Coit's first interest was always in the Babies' Hospital; it was the dream of his life that some day enough money would be obtained to build a new structure which would be in keeping with the fact that Newark's Institution was the pioneer in this work.
Dr. Coit was Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Relief of the Citizens' Health Committee of Newark, appointed by the
158
Mayor to raise a fund for, and superintend the care of infantile paralysis victims. Although this work fell upon the Physician at the time when his health was none too robust, his great interest in children led him to enter into the duties with unusual fervor. He sacrificed all but three or four days of his vacation in order to perfect an organization to handle properly the children that had been stricken. Under his personal direction a corps of trained nurses was selected, and each day through- out last Winter this staff went forth to the various homes in Newark where lived these paralysis victims, and administered such treatment as was necessary to restore their limbs to usefulness. All details of this work were personally looked after by Dr. Coit.
It has been said by an eminent Physician that Dr. Coit did greater service in the preventative medicine practice than Pas- teur or Koch, and he was as well known in Europe as in this country, through his work for babies and pure milk.
He was Vice-President of the International Society of Goutte de Lait (Milk Dispensaries) with headquarters at Budapest. He was a member of the American Association of Medical Milk Commissions, having been its first President ; a Fellow of the American Club of Physicians, Inc., from which he received a handsome gold medal in 1915. He was also a member of the American Pediatric Society, member of the New Jersey Pediatric Society, a member of the New Jersey State Medical, and Essex County Medical Societies, and of the Practitioners' Club of Newark. He belonged to the Essex Club, and to the St. John's Lodge F. & A. M. He was Con- sulting Physician at many Institutions, including St. Vincent's Foundling Asylum in Montclair, New Jersey, and the Home for Crippled Children in Newark. He represented the Medical Societies of this country at the International Congress for the Prevention of Infants' Diseases, held in Berlin in 19II. He was also an Officer of the Halsey Street M. E. Church in Newark, and was active in Church and Sunday School work, founding several young men's clubs in former years.
