OUR PROFESSIONAL MEN FROM COLLEGE
Physicians who have practiced in Nunda, pioneers and their successors. Dentists and recent Pharmacist : some thing unusual, a medical school in Nunda.
"But when ill indeed, E'en dismissing the doctor, Don't always succeed."
George Colman, (1762-1866.)
Our pioneer physicians deserve special mention and special commendation. Many a one who sought to find the habitation of his patient by following a blazed path, or poorly defined road, have passed the night in the forest with pine boughs for a bed, and a saddle for a pillow. What must it have been in 1804, when the first physician, Dr. Hdve, settled at Angelica ; how did he find his way to the Pike or Portageville settlements, or to our own township, and its two families, as liable to be seriously ill as if they lived in a city. Dr. Gilbert Bo- gart, who lived in Sparta, and had an extensive ride into the newer towns, has left records of several such experiences. Dr. Jolin Gilmore of Nunda, tells of visiting a patient at Swains. i. e., where Swains now is, when there were but two houses on the route after leaving "Hubbells Corners." Dr. Parmalee of Hunt's Hollow was sent for when the first man in Nunda was fatally injured by the falling of a tree, at Wilcox Corners, in 1820. When people sent for a physician in those days, the necessity was great, but whatever adverse conditions prevailed, the physician was sure to start, even if he failed to get there until the next day. All honor to this class of men ; at peril of their own health, they went to minister to the wants of the suffering. The pioneer doctor was called quite as often to the homes of the indigent poor. as to those of confort, for poverty was the rule then, and wealth the exception. He merits special honors, and so we will mention his class first, and forget. how they bled and blistered and gave huge doses of calomel. as large as their generous natures dictated. May the Great Physician reward them, and their successors, according to their desire to prove a blessing to suffering humanity.

Unlike the novelist. who keeps his readers waiting for the wonderful and un- usual, that he has already hinted at, we will tell at once of the Medical School in Nunda.
MEDICAL SCHOOL IN NUNDA
Strange as it may seem, yet it is true that Clifford C. Chafee, M. D., then a resident of Nunda, advertised in the Gazette. edited by Ira G. Wisner, a medica! course of instruction in Anatomy and Surgery, and succeeded in having a class of twelve or more medical students. This is his advertisement.
"Private School of Anatomy and Surgery
The Subscriber, Demonstrator of Anatomy and Surgery, a recent Professor at Berkshire Medical College, Mass., will deliver a course of Letcures on Ana- tomy and Operative Surgery at Nunda, Allegany County, N. Y., commencing the first Tuesday of December next. and continue thirteen weeks. Fee for the whole term, $10.00. Such arrangements have been made, that abundant material for dissection, will be furnished to the class at cost. The rooms for the accom- modation of the class are commodious, well lighted, ventilated and warmed. The course of instruction will consist of one lecture each day. The evening. from seven to nine o'clock, will be devoted to the dissecting class in recapitula- tions, demonstrations upon the organs exposed at the time, recitations, etc. Opportunity will be given to students to witness important cases of disease from time to time, as such may occur : the services of a competent assistant, have been secured, who will devote his entire time to the ciass. Nunda is without dispute one of the most pleasant villages in Western New York, both for its scenery
and society. Good board, including lights, washing, etc., can be obtained at from $1.50 to $2.50 per week. A course of popular lectures will also be deliv- ered to the students of Nunda Academy on Physiology, by Dr. Chafee, to which the medical class will be admitted free of charge."
Medical Students
The medical students, who availed themselves of this extraordinary oppor- tunity to study at home. under a college professor were, probably, those who soon after went away to Medical Colleges.

Dr. Ebenezer Hdve, came to the town of Leicester, Genesee County, and set- tled in the southern half of the town at Angelica in 1804. As this was one year before the town of Angelica. Genesee County was formed, and two years before Allegany County was organized. he was our first physician.
