In 1858 this dispensary was located at 5 Flatbush avenue. From that time to 1860 there seems to have been a number of changes among the physicians. In 1860 we find them

This dispensary is at present situated at No. 29 Third avenue.

THE LONG ISLAND COLLEGE HOSPITAL.

This college and hospital will undoubtedly in the near future assume a position among medical colleges second to none in this coun- try. The additions to its curriculum ; the in- creasing number of students ; and the growing interest in the welfare of the institution which is exhibited by our citizens, all indicate that the Long Island College Hospital lias before it a career of unlimited usefulness. The pres- ent outlook causes us to believe that the bright- est pages in its history are yet to be written. The writer can scarcely believe the testimony of his own senses as he notes the advances made by this institution during the short time he has been in active practice. While con- gratulating ourselves upon the splendid pros- pects the future appears to have in store for the Long Island College Hospital. let us glance backward and note a few facts in the incep- tion and early history of this institution.

During the year 1857 a number of German physicians in general practice in the Sixth and Tenth Wards of the city of Brooklyn or- ganized what was known as the Brooklyn Ger- man General Dispensary. This dispensary was situated at 145 or 147 Court street, be- tween Pacific street and Atlantic avenue. Prominently connected with this dispensary were the following doctors: Gustav Braeun- lich, residing at 285 Henry street ; Carl Aug. Louis Bauer, 167 Court street ; William Arm- ing, 75 Court street ; Edward Maebert, 109 Union street ; and Herman Zundt, 42 Dean street.

The intention of these gentlemen was to or- ganize a large German hospital, as at this time the population of the Sixth Ward con- sisted largely of Germans. Nothing definite came of this idea, for we find that shortly afterward they joined with Drs. John Byrne,

Montague street, and William H. Dudley, of 201 Henry street, in the organization of what was then known as the St. John's Hospital. On November 5, 1857, this hospital occupied the premises at 145 or 147 Court street, where it remained until the spring of 1858.

The "Perry Mansion" on Henry street be- ing for sale, subscriptions were solicited from the citizens of Brooklyn for the purpose of purchasing this property. The effort proving successful and the property having been pur- chased, application was made to the Legisla- ture for a charter, which was granted in 1858.

Drs. Braeunlich and Bauer deserve special mention for the interest manifested by them in the institution and for the work which they accomplished at this time.

The reason for the change of name from St. John's Hospital to that of the Long Island College Hospital is unknown to the writer, but it was under the latter name that the in- stitution received its charter and opened the hospital in the spring of 1858, on the site where it now stands, and where we hope it may stand for ages to come. The following is taken from the Brooklyn City Directory of 1858-'59:

MEDICAL SOCIETIES.

The first medical society, independent of the Medical Society of the County of Kings, was organized in 1852, and was known as the Medical Association of the Eastern Dis- trict. Among the physicians who were con- nected with this society we find the following : C. H. Schapps, M. D., who was President in 1852-'55; Ernest Krackowizer, C. Macfarlan, Jos. Creamer, James S. Hawley, Carl Witt- man, Gco. W. Baker, John Walsh, J. J. Ache- son, Nelson L. North, Sr., and E. N. Colt.

This society continued until 1882, when it went out of existence.

On February 5, 1863, the Medical Associa- tion of the Eastern District of Brooklyn was organized.

MEDICAL CHIRURGICAL SOCIETY.

Instituted at Brooklyn in 1857. Active among its membership were the following well-known physicians: Andrew Otterson (President from 1857 to 1859), John Ball, Joseph B. Jones (President in 1860), E. N. Chapman, Daniel A. Dodge, J. H. H. Burge (President from 1864 to 1865), Daniel Ayres (President from 1861 to 1863), J. C. Halsey,

Jos. E. Clark, Henry J. Cullen (President in 1866), William Law, Jr., A. N. Bell, John Byrne and W. E. Mulhallon; besides James Crane, Jr., U. Palmedo, Geo. I. Bennet, A. Moore, J. P. Colgan, Sr., Charles C. Isaacs, J. P. Colgan, Jr., William Otterson, G. D. Ayres, W. Mills, Thomas P. Morris, H. C. Simms and De Witt C. Enos.

This society was discontinued in 1866.

BROOKLYN MEDICAL SOCIETY-1856.

This society met in Brooklyn Institute on Washington street, but very little is known re- garding it. The physicians connected with it were Andrew Otterson (President from 1856 to 1857), John Ball, A. N. Bell, Jos. E. Clark, Jos. B. Jones and John Byrne.

On August 21, 1846, a special meeting of the Medical Society of the County of Kings was called to consider the propriety of estab- lishing a dispensary in the city of Brooklyn. This call was signed by the following mem- bers: Drs. Robert McMillan, John F. Morse, J. C. Halsey, Sam. J. Osborn, William Swift, David F. Atwater, T. A. Wade, Purcell Cooke, J. M. Moriarty, A. Otterson, Wm. C. Betts, Daniel Ayres, F. W. Hurd, Geo. I. Bennet and A. Van Pelt.

The committee appointed at this meeting reported on September 14, 1846, that the mat- ter had been presented to the trustees of the Brooklyn City Hospital, and that a committee had been appointed by them to consider the subject. The committee from the medical so- ciety comprised Drs. Sam. J. Osborn, Henry J. Cullen, John F. Morse, John L. Thorne and Theo. L. Mason.

CHAPTER LII.

DENTISTS IN BROOKLYN.

UR information regarding the early dentists on Long Island is exceeding- ly limited. The first of whom we have any record is T. Jefferson Jones, M. D., who in 1828 practiced dentistry and kept a drug store at No. 4 Sands street. He appears to have continued to practice at this place until his death in 1835. In 1831 W. K. Northall, Jr., commenced practice at 79 Ful- ton street. His father, W. K. Northall, F. S. A., was principal of the Mount Pleasant Academy, 278 Fulton street. Dr. Northall was evidently from Birmingham, England, and in the directory for 1832 appears the fol- lowing advertisement:

W. K. NORTHALL. DENTIST. No. 79 Fulton Street, Brooklyn.

Begs to refer to those Ladies and Gentlemen who may require his attendance, to the Rev. Mr. Mcilvane, Brooklyn, Valentine Mott, M. D., and Daniel Lord, M. D., of New York.

Mr. Northall has certificates from the following Gentlemen in England. namely: W. T. Cox, Esq., Professor of Anatomy in the Birmingham School of Medicine; John Ercles, M. D., Lecturer on the Practice of Physics: Dr. Richard Pierson, M. D., Lecturer on Materia Medica and Medical Botany; to Dr. Burt Davis, M. D., Physician to the Fever Hospital, Birmingham ; Joseph Hodg" son. Esq., Senior Surgeon to the Birmingham General Hospital ; T. K. Booth, Senior Physician: Dr. Aaron Davis, M. D .. of Rad- norshire: the Rev. George Hall, Vicar of Tenbury, Worcester- shire, Rector of Rochford, Herefordshire, and Doniestic Chaplain to Lord Brougham and Vaux, the Lord High Chancellor of England.

In the same year appears the advertisement of Dr. T. Jefferson Jones, as follows :

T. JEFFERSON, JONES, M. D.

Would inform his friends that he continues to officiate in the capacity of a Dentist at his residence. No. 4 Sands street, Brook- lyn, where Teeth of every description from one to an entire set can be inserted. Teeth Cleaned, Filed and Filled so as to add much to their Durability and Beauty. He would also recommend the Persian Dentifrice (tooth powder) kept by him to all those who are desirous of having their gums healthy and teeth white and clear from tartar without any injury to either. Also a general assortment of Drugs, Medicines and Perfumery for sale as above.

In 1836 Dr. Northall, having evidently obtained somewhat of a practice among Brook-

lyn people, has the following advertisement in the directory of that year :

TEETH.

W. K. NORTHALL, Surgeon Dentist, 56 Fulton street, re- spectfully informs the inhabitants of Brooklyn and Long Island that he is prepared at all times to accommodate those who wish to supply the loss of natural teeth with artificial ones with Premium Incorruptible Teeth of the very best quality and of every variety of shade, of durability, cleanliness and natural appearance of the silicious teeth ; renders them permanently superior to all other kinds. Mr. Northall inserts teeth from one to an entire set upon the best principles of dental mechanism which render them avail- able for all purposes of articulation and mastication.

DENTAL SURGERY.

Cavities in the teeth filled with Cement, Gold or Silver. as the circumstances of the case may require. The teeth when loosened by tartar, disease or mercury, may, by a proper course of treat- ment, be in almost every case restored to their pristine firmness. Irregularities in children's teeth may in most instances be obvi- ated by well directed aid. Such cases particularly attended to.

Dr. Northall begs to present the following Certificates for the guidance of those who may wish to employ him professionally :

We, the undersigned, having had opportunities of judging of Dr. Northall's abilities as a Dentist, cheerfully subscribe our names in evidence of our opinion of his skill as an operator on the teeth and recommend him to the public as one in whom every confidence may be placed in the practice of the various branches of his profession.

(Signed) Evan Johnson, Rector of St. John's Church. B. C. Cutler. Rector of St. Ann's Church. S. A. Willoughby, President Brooklyn Bank. D. Embury, Esq., Cashier Long Island Bank.

N. B. Tooth powders of all kinds to be obtained at the office, 78 Fulton Street. A work called "Hints to Parents on the Importance of Early Attention to Children's Teeth," by W. K. Northall, for sale. Also one entitled "Five Min- utes' Advice on the Teeth." Both works can be obtained at the office or at any of the big stores in Brooklyn.

In 1842 Dr. Northall Daid a visit to Europe and on his return calls to the attention of his patients that he has resumed practice, and with respect to charges "begs to state that he shall at all times take a pleasure in consulting the circumstances of those who may apply to him and charge as moderately as he can with justice to himself and patients."

Dr. Northall had considerable literary abil- ity, and, in addition to the works referred to in his advertisement, wrote a book, which was published in 1850, entitled "The Life and

618

HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND.

Recollections of Yankee Bill, together with Anecdotes and Incidents of his Travels." In 1844 he became associated with Dr. George Rose and had moved his office to 208 Fulton street. This is our last information of Dr. Northall, who probably died in 1846, for in 1846 we find his partner, Dr. George Rose, practicing alone at 246 Fulton street.

In the year 1837 Dr. Martin K. Bridges settled in Brooklyn and commenced practice at 118 Fulton street. In the directory of 1839 appears his card, simply calling attention to the fact that he was practicing at 105 Fulton street, and referring to fourteen or fifteen of the leading clergymen and physicians of the city, together with the Mayor, the Hon. Cyrus P. Smith. He edited the "Dental Mirror," a little leaflet published for gratuitous circula- tion, in which appeared conspicuously in 1843 the following notice :

"Two hours in each week day, from seven to nine o'clock in the morning, are devoted to the service of the poor without charge."

Dr. Bridges was born in Hardwick, Massa- chusetts, August 1, 1800, and when thirty-six years of age commenced the study of den- tistry in the office of Dr. Lathrop at Sauger- ties. He died in September, 1853, at 109 Henry street, Brooklyn. Drs. Jones, Northall and Bridges were able representatives of the pioneers in dentistry in the United States, and the example they set in earnestness, ability, learning and liberality has been faithfully fol- lowed by their successors in Brooklyn.

In the year 1845 the village of Brooklyn had become a city and had extended its bor- ders to accommodate the rapidly increasing population. The two dentists who had been sufficient to attend to the needs of the com- munity in 1831 had increased to eight, among whom were:

Dr. George Wood, born at Groton, Massa- chusetts, July 24, 1813, and who settled in Brooklyn in 1838 and began practicing at 169 Fulton street ; Dr. James E. Miller, born Janu- ary 7, 1820, in Somers, Westchester county,

New York, and after teaching school in the Friends' Meeting House, which was then on the corner of Clark and Henry streets, com- menced to practice dentistry in 1842, and in 1845 was practicing at No. 7 Squire's Build- ing, Atlantic avenue ; Dr. John Scott, born in Wyoming county, New York, September 4, 1813, and after studying medicine and den- tistry settled in Brooklyn in 1843 and was then practicing on Fulton street, near Clinton street : Dr. G. A. Cooper, born in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1822, became a citizen of Brook- lyn in 1845 and commenced to practice at 268 Washington street ; and Dr. Salmon Skinner, born at Coeymans, Albany county, New York, March 6. 1818, commenced to practice at 57 Hicks strect, Brooklyn, in 1840.

In the year 1855 the number of dentists had increased to forty-nine, but, as far as known, none were natives of Brooklyn.

Dr. Hezekiah N. Stratton was born in I'hillipston, Massachusetts, in July, 1822, and in 1846 commenced to practice at 139 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, and in 1855 was still there. Dr. A. Appleton Wheeler was born near Brat- tleboro, Vermont. December 11, 1832, and commenced to practice in Brooklyn in 1853, at 51 Myrtle avenue. In 1855 he moved to what is now 80 Court street, where he died November 23. 1865. Dr. C. A. Marvin was born at Tappan, New York, June 16, 1823, was practicing at the southwest corner of Montague and Henry streets, where he had commenced May 1, 1853. Dr. W. B. Hurd, who was born at Brookfield, Connecticut, July 5. 1820, was on Fourth street, in what was then Williamsburgh, where he had commenced to practice in 1854, at which time there were but four other dentists in Williamsburgh, viz., Dr. Andrew H. Griswold, Dr. Lloyd Slade, Dr. Samuel H. Twitchell and Dr. Cornelius Weeks, all of whom had their offices on Fourth street. Dr. H. G. Mirick was born in Worces- ter, Massachusetts, October 15, 1832, and set- tled in Brooklyn in 1852 as assistant to Dr. James E. Miller. He was practicing at 74

Clinton street. Dr. John Branique was a na- tive of Ireland and was practicing at 196 Clinton street. Dr. Charles F. Mermier was a native of Jamaica, West Indies, and was practicing on Classon avenue, near Myrtle avenue. Dr. C. D. Cook settled in Brooklyn in 1853 as assistant to Dr. James E. Miller, whose office was on the corner of Pacific and Henry streets, on the site of the present Hoag- land laboratory. At the present writing but four of those who were practicing in 1855 are living. Drs. Mirick and Marvin have re- tired from practice, the former still residing in Brooklyn, while the latter lives in Philadel- phia. Drs. Hurd and Cook are both actively engaged in the practice of their profession. the former at 502 Bedford avenue, the latter at 162 Remsen street.

The number of dentists kept pace with the increase of population, for in 1870 there were seventy practicing. The boundaries of the city were continually extending. In 1860 there were not more than one or two dentists beyond where the City Hall now stands, but at the end of the decade, while the greater number were still located in that part of the city known as the "Heights," many were in South Brooklyn and on "The Hill."

Drs. A. H. Brockway. M. E. Elmendorf, W. T. Shannon, F. W. Dolbeare and Henry Brown were on "The Hill;" Drs. James H. Race. S. W. Bridges, C. D. Cook and C. H. Biddle were south of Atlantic avenue: Drs. W. B. Hurd, W. C. Parks, William Fish- bough, R. T. Ambler, C. W. Harreys, S. H. Twitchell and E. C. Wadsworth were in the Eastern District; Drs. C. A. Marvin. H. G. Mirick, (). E. Hill, G. A. Mills, William Jar- vie, Jr., I. C. Monroe, D. S. Skinner, Thomas Fry, J. B. Brown, R. C. Brewster, W. A. Campbell and A. N. Chapman were on the "Heights" or in the immediate neighborhood.

be used in the filling of teeth. In 1848 he removed to 240 Adams street, Brooklyn, where he kept a supply of dental instruments and artificial teeth and melted and rolled out gold and silver which were alone employed at that time in the construction of sets of teeth. Prior to this time it had been necessary for Brook- lyn dentists to go to New York for all their materials, but Mr. Kearsing became so favora- bly known as a refiner and beater of gold that many New York dentists bought their gold and silver plates and gold foil from him. In 1855 Messrs. Jones, White & McCurdy opened a branch of their dental depot, under the su- pervision of Mr. Thomas Wise, on Fulton street, near Tillary. A third-story hall room at the back of the building was sufficiently commodious for the purpose, and a small ja- panned cash box large enough to contain all the gold and silver kept on hand. This box was carefully carried to New York every night for safe keeping and brought back every morning. "Tom" was the faithful custodian of this box, and continues to be the faithful conservator of the interests of the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Company, and the gen- ial friend of all Brooklyn dentists. In 1865. M. M. Johnston opened a dental depot at No. 20 Fulton avenue, in a small room in the rear of a book store. He soon associated his broth- ers with him under the name of Johnston Brothers, and introduced many improvements upon the materials and appliances then in use. Prospering rapidly, the firm became a power- ful competitor of S. S. White; competition was terminated, however, in 1881, by a com- bination of the two firms under the name of the S. S. White Dental Manufacturing Com- pany.

In the autumn of 1853 the first association of dentists on Long Island was organized. It was known as the Long Island Association of Dental Surgeons, and held its first meeting at the office of Dr. H. N. Stratton, 137 Atlantic avenue, and elected as officers: D. H. Mul-

This society had no president, but a chair- man was elected for each meeting. Its object was more of a social than a scientific charac- ter, and the interest in it soon subsided. It passed out of existence after two or three years of an uneventful career.

On June 12, 1862, a number of dentists met at the office of Dr. O. E. Hill, on Fulton street, near Clinton street, and organized the Brook- lyn Dental Association. Its first officers were W. C. Parks, President ; A. C. Hawes, Vice- President ; John Allen, Treasurer ; and Will- iam B. Hurd, Secretary. This society was largely composed of the most able and pro- gressive of New York dentists, its Brooklyn members being O. E. Hill, A. Appleton Wheeler, C. A. Marvin and William Jarvie, Jr., while Williamsburgh was represented by W. B. Hurd, W. C. Parks and W. C. Horne. It met every two weeks at the offices of the members, and during its existence of five years was the most active and useful society of the time.

In 1867 unfortunate differences arose and the society disbanded, some of its New York members organizing the New York Odonto- logical Society, while on December 14 of that year thirteen Brooklyn dentists met at the office of Dr. George A. Mills, 133 Henry street, and organized "The Brooklyn Society of Den- tal Science and Art." These dentists were George A. Mills, H. G. Mirick, O. E. Hill, A. H. Brockway, L. E. Brockway, William Jarvie, Jr., I. C. Monroe, John Scott, N. M. Abbott, Thomas Fry, E. L. Childs, H. E. Bird, George E. Bretz. The first officers cho- sen were H. G. Mirick, President ; C. D. Cook, Vice-President ; E. L. Childs, Recording Sec- retary; William Jarvie, Jr., Corresponding Secretary; I. C. Monroe, Treasurer; G. A.

Mills, O. E. Hill and John Scott, Executive Committee.

On January 4, 1869, the name was changed to the Brooklyn Dental Society, and the fol- lowing made application to have the society incorporated: C. D. Cook, O. E. Hill, E. L. Childs, William Jarvie, Jr., I. C. Monroe, James H. Race, H. G. Mirick and George A. Mills. The application was granted April 5, 1869.

On January 10, 1870, this society organized a dental infirmary at 260 Washington street, which was open every week day and where dental operations were performed for the worthy poor without cost. A superintendent was employed, and each afternoon a member of the society was in charge. The members of the society not only volunteered their serv- ices, but, with the assistance of a few public- spirited citizens, paid all the expenses for one year, after which the city contributed $1,500 annually toward its support. The infirmary was in existence about four years, and through it the society endeavored to teach the people to appreciate the value of their teeth and to educate them in their proper care. The in- firmary studies became to many dentists a post- graduate course. Clinics were frequently given, and the dentists of Brooklyn, as well as the public, are indebted to the late Dr. William H. Atkinson, who at great personal loss and inconvenience would frequently leave his private patients in New York and conduct them. As far as is known, this infirmary was the only institution of the kind ever in exist- ence. Much good was accomplished, and its relinquishment was caused principally by the many people who were able to pay endeavoring to obtain good dental services gratuitously, thereby defeating the charitable object for which the infirmary was established.

In 1882 the Brooklyn Dental Society estab- lished a library and reading room in connec- tion with the Kings County Medical Society, in Everett Hall, at 398 Fulton street. This library was afterward removed to the rooms

of the Medical Society in Bridge street, much enlarged and owned by the Second District Dental Society; it is now in the beautiful new home of the Kings County Medical Society in Bedford avenue.

In 1895 the Brooklyn Dental Society re- tired ,from the field of scientific activity in favor of its somewhat younger brother, the Second District Dental Society, still retain- ing, however, its organization, and meeting but once each year, at which a banquet is given. This function is looked forward to . with much pleasure as the social event among the dental profession on Long Island. The present officers of the society are: William Jarvie, President; W. A. Campbell, Vice- President ; R. C. Brewster, Recording Secre- tary; R. G. Hutchinson, Jr., Corresponding Secretary; F. C. Walker, Treasurer; F. O. Kraemer, Librarian.

On April 7, 1868, the State Legislature passed a law entitled "An Act to incorporate dental societies for the purpose of improving and regulating the practice of dentistry in the State," which provided for a dental society in each of the eight judicial districts, eight delegates from each of which were to meet at the capitol in Albany and organize what was to be known as the Dental Society of the State of New York. In accordance with this provision in the law, thirty-eight of the dentists of the Second Judicial District, which com- prised the counties of Kings, Suffolk, Rich- mond, Westchester, Orange, Rockland and Putnam, and to which was added in 1897 Nas- sau, met at the City Hall, Brooklyn, on June 2, 1868, and organized the Second District Dental Society by electing the following offi- cers : President, W. B. Hurd : Vice-President, George A. Mills; Recording Secretary, Will- iam Jarvie, Jr .; Corresponding Secretary, L. S. Straw; Treasurer, H. G. Mirick ; Delegates to State Dental Society, C. D. Cook, W. B. Hurd, O. E. Hill, H. G. Mirick, A. H. Brock- way, G. A. Mills, L. S. Straw and C. L. Houghton.
