With the growth of the city the annual meetings of the county society did not meet the needs of the eity practitioners and from time to time other organizations have been formed for the purpose of cultivating a knowledge of medical science an .! stimulating social fellowship between physicians. In 1853 the Rochester Medical society was estab- lished hnt did not long survive. It was, however. reorganized February 14th, 1866, with Dr. John F. Whitbeck as president, Chns. E. Rider as secre- tary and E. V. Stoddard as treasurer. For some
years it flourished, having for its succeeding presi- dents H. W. Dean, David Little, Geo. Swinburne, HI. II. Langworthy, W. W. Ely, W. H. Briggs, C. E. Rider, W. S. Ely, E. V. Stoddard and E. M. Moore. Its membership embraced the more promi- cent of the city physicians of its time, but its very success was the cause of ita downfall, its elaborat? suppers becoming too great a burden, and toward the close of the seventies it faded away.
The most active of the local medical organiza- tions, the Rochester Pathological society, was the outgrowth of a group of young physicians, who, about the year 1870, assembled regularly for dis- section and the discussion of pathological questions. Through the personal efforts of Drs. Charles S. Starr and Charles Bulkley, the organization was perfected and the Rochester Pathological so- ciety established shortly after this date. It was incorporated May 25th, 1889, by Jolin O. Roe, Wal- lace Herriman, E. W. Mulligan, E. H. Howard. and W. R. Howard. Among its original members were Drs. C. S. Starr, Charles Bulkley, P. G. U'dell, Julius Schmidt, G. P. Morey, M. B. Spear, George J. Oaks. Prior to 1876 no written records were kept. In that year, Dr. T. A. O'Hare was chosen president, B. I. Preston vice-president, I .. A. Weigel secretary, Charles Bulkley treasurer. From that date to the present the succession of presidents is as follows : I .. A. Weigel, B. I. Pres- ton, E. H. Howard, C. E. MeKelvey, B. I. Preston, G. T. Beauford, C. S. Starr, W. F. Shechan, P. D. Carpenter, Archibald Dann, W. R. Howard. C. A. Dewey, W. J. Herriman, E. H. Howard, W. A. Moore, E. W. Mulligan, Benjamin Wilson. F. F. Dow, Ogden Backus, H. S. Durand, W. B. Jones, Wheelock Rider, C. R. Barber. H. T. Wil- liams, W. W. Soble, J. W. MeCauley, TI. Schoon- maker, W. M. Brown, Charles D. Young, T. Oli- ver Tait, Scelye W. Little, W. D. Becker. For the year 1906-07 the officers of the society ure: President, Clifford V. C. Comfort ; vice-president, Dr. E. Wood Ruggles; secretary and treasurer, W. T. Mulligan. The society meets regularly every other Tuesday from October to July, at the Ro- chester Whist club.
In 1892, largely through the efforts of Dr. John O. Roe, an arrangement was entered into between the Monroe County Medical society and the Rev- nolds Library, whereby the trustes of the Reynolds . Library offered to establish and care for a medi-

cal department, promising to contribute, in addi- tion, a sum equal to that given by the members of the medical society, not to exceed two hundred and fifty dollars per year. In the same year the Monroe County Medical society resolved to appro- priate fifty dollars annually for this purpose, and authorized a committee consisting of Drs. Jno. O. Roe, Frank F. Dow, Sarah R. A. Dolley, Harriet M. Turner and Edward B. Angell, to act as a library committee, to collect funds by subscription and otherwise to further the interests of a medical library. During the ensuing seven years, over one thousand dollars was raised by subscription among the physicians, which, with an equal amount set aside by the Reynolds Library, made a respectable beginning of a medical collec- tion. This collection was largely augmented by gifts in the form of books, bound volumes of peri- odicals, etc., from individuals and other libraries, notably the New York Academy of Medicine. But the difficulty of maintaining interest in a person- ally solicited library fund increased from year to year and it was recognized that a more efficient backing must be secured. It was suggested that a strictly scientific body be organized, composed of the more active practitioners of the city and coun- ty, who were interested in the scientific side of the medical profession.
In pursuance of this object, a call was issued by Drs. Ely, Roe and Angell, to the subscribers to the original library fund, to meet at the Reynolds library on June 26th, 1899. At this meeting there were present Drs. Ely, Whitbeck, Roe, Cook, Rose- boom, E. H. Howard, W. R. Howard, Angell. Rose, Hayward, Elsner, Dewey, E. W. Mulligan, E. B. Potter, Darrow, Ruggles, Soble, Collier, Conk- lin, Young, O'Hare, Starr and Williams. Dr. Ely was made chairman and Dr. Angell explained the purpose of the proposed society. The scheme was discussed and unanimously commended. On July 10th, 1899, the organization was perfected, the con- stitution and by-laws being then adopted, and the Rochester Academy of Medicine was formally ca- tablished, having for its object the cultivation and advancement of the science of medicine, including the development and maintenance of a medical library. The first officers of the Academy were: President, Dr. W. S. Ely; secretary, H. T. Wil- liams; treasurer, Edward B. Angell. On June 20th, 1900, Dr. Edward M. Moore was unanimously
elected an honorary fellow, on account of his emi- nent contributions to the science of medicine. At its annual meeting in December, 1901, through its president, Dr. W. S. Ely, Charles T. Ham, of Rochester, presented the Academy with five thou- Fand dollars for the furtherance of its objects. In recognition of this gift, Mr. Ham was elected its first benefactor. The Academy of Medicine has taken great interest in public questions concerning the welfare of the citizens of Rochester. Among other matters, it established a milk commission in 1902, for improving the quality of the milk sup- ply of the city, and in 1904 it aided in establish- ing medical inspection in the public schools, first proposed in a resolution offered by Dr. W. M. Brown. A permanent charter was granted the Academy in 1906 by the state board of regents. Under its care, the medical library has increased rapidly and finally has been placed on a perma- nent basis. Up to the present time over five thou- sand dollars has been expended in the purchase and binding of current medical literature, over fifty journals, foreign and American, being kept on file in the reading-room maintained by the Reynolds Library. The library contains about five thousand volumes, of which three thousand bound volumes are periodicals. This library is accessible to any properly qualified medical practitioner and is a credit to the generosity of the trustees of Rey- nolds Library and to the efforts of the physicians of Rochester. The presidents of the Academy have been in turn: Dre. W. S. Ely, Jno. O. Roe, E. W. Mulligan, John W. Whitbeck, Edward B. Angell. L. A. Weigel. The present officers are: President, H. T. Williams; secretary, W. M. Brown; treas- urer, R. G. Cook.
On the 23d of November, 1886, The Provident Dispensary was organized for providing free medi- cal care for women and children by women physi- cians, an institution which was in successful opera- tion for some years and accomplished much good. On January 13th, 1887, the medical staff of the Provident Dispensary organized the Practitioners' society, a medical organization composed exclusive- ly of the women physicians of Rochester. The charter members were: Dra. Sarah R. A. Dolley. Anna Il. Searing. Mary E. Stark, Harriet M. Turner, Eveline P. Ballintine, Frances Hamil- ton, Lettie H. Woodruff, Sarah Perry, Mary A. Brownell, Marion Craig. Mary J. Slaight, Min-

erva Palmer ; and the officers for the first year were : President, Sarah R. A. Dolley; vice-president, Mary E. Stark ; secretary and treasurer, Harriet M. Turner. The succeeding presidents were Dra. Mary E. Stark, Mary J. Slaight, Anna H. Searing, Frances Hamilton, E. P. Ballintine, E. A. Cady. Evelyn Baldwin, M. Craig Potter, S. R. A. Dolley, Anna Craig, Ida M. Porter, L. H. Woodruff, C. B. MacArthur, Mary E. Dickinson, Helen Justin, E. A. Cady Harris, C. W. Thomas, E. P. Ballin- tine, Ida M. Porter. In 1893 the Practitioners' society was incorporated, and in 1906 the consti- tution aud by-laws were revised and the name changed to the Blackwell Medical society, in honor of that pioneer woman physician, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. The officers for 1906 were: Honor- able president, Sarah R. A. Dolley; president, Marion Craig Potter ; vice-president, Evelyn Bald- win; secretary, E. A. Cady Harris; treasurer, Helen D. Justin. The officers for 1907 are : Presi- dent, Evelyn Baldwin; vice-president, M. Louise Hurrel : secretary, Harriet M. Turner : treasurer, Ida M. Porter.
The Hospital Medical society grew out of the informal meetings of the ont-patient staff of the City hospital. It was organized in 1898 among the younger members of the medical profession, who had served as hospital internes and was therefore called the Hospital Medical society. Its purpose is to promote the study of the sciences of medi- cine and surgery and encourage good fellowship among its members. Its active membership is limited to those who have been in the practice of medicine for less than fifteen years. Thereafter they become honorary members, which privilege ia also accorded to the senior members of the hospital staffa of the State, the City and St. Mary's hos- pitals. The following have served as presidents of the society in turn: Drs. S. W. Little, Wheelock Rider, L. W. Rose, George W. Goler, R. G. Cook, Joseph Roby, W. T. Mulligan, W. V. Ewers, The present officers are: President, A. C. Snell; vice-president, C. O. Boswell; secretary and tread- urer, E. M. Hague. Women physicians were first recognized by the City hospital authorities in the appointment of Dr. Marion Craig Potter, in 1898, to the position of assistant physician on the hospi- tal staff. On March 11th, 1907, at a banquet given in honor of Dr. Sarah R. A. Dolley, the Women's Medical society of the state of New York was or-
ganized for "the purpose of bringing medical women of New York state into communication with each other for their mutual advantage. " The officers are: Honorable president, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell; president, Sarah R. A. Dolley; secre- tary, Eveline P. Ballintine; treasurer, M. May Allen. It holds an annual meeting in Rochester.
In preventing a few sketches of the lives of the more eminent physicians of this city, recourse may again be had to the article by Dr. Moore, referred to at the beginning of this chapter, for the bio- graphies of those of an carly date, as follows:
"Among the earliest comers we may note the name of Dr. Anson Coleman. He was born at Rich- field Springs, N. Y., March 17th, 1795, and began his professional studies when about seventeen years of age, in his native town, but afterward went to Cherry Valley and completed his studies with the celebrated Dr. Joseph White. He was among the foremost practitioners of the village of Rochester, high-toned in his feelings and contemptuous of the charlatanry that has always hung on the outskirts of the profession. When the cholera first invaded Europe the dread accounts that came by the slow means of sailing navigation filled the whole coun- try with a fear that has never had its parallel on this continent. The first appearance at the north was in Montreal. The authorities of the village requested Dr. Coleman to go to that eity at their expense and bring back such information as he could gather from the experience of the health authorities and the physicians of that place, which was done with good results. The therapeutics then adopted have never been in- proved. We excel our ancestors in the profession only in the methods of prevention. Dr. Coleman was elected professor in the medical college at Geneva, but declining health prevented his oc- cupancy of the chair. He died at the early age of forty-two of aneurism of the abdominal aorts, July 17th, 1837.
"John D. Henry was born October 19th, 1782, at Stonington, Conn., studied his profession at Cherry Valley with Dr. White and graduated at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1822 he removed to Rochester and at once took his place among the first physicians of his day. Those who remember him will do so largely from the recollection of his genial temper and high standard of professional duty, a true gentleman by association and from the

still truer source of conduct befitting the appel- lation, that of the heart. He died November 13th, 1842.
"E. G. Munn was born in Munson, Mase., April 7th, 1801. After practising a few years in Scotts- ville, intending to keep himself en rapport with general practice, he found himself overwhelmed with the duties of an oculist. In 1837 he re- moved to Rochester and gave himself up to the duties of ophthalmology. The country was new and his fame spread far and wide. It is doubtfal if, during the ten years of his residence here, any other man had so many patients and gathered from so large a territory. As the prople generally were poor, much of this great following emme from his generous disposition and as long as there was money in his purse he was very apt to pay the board bills of his patients and their passage home after their recovery. The scope of this benevo- lence may be recognized from the amount of unpaid services at the time of his death, which was $80,000, the sum of fees of the most meager kind. Ile died December 12th, 1847, possessed of small estate and loved hy the warmest of friends, whose affection had no taint of benefits received. This is truly a marvelous history of a short profes- sional life.
"Frederick F. Backus was born June 15th, 1794, and died November 5th, 1858. He was grad- uated from Yale college in 1814, was licensed to practise medicine the next year and took up his residence in this settlement, where he lived until his death. Few knew him withont acquiring a high esteem for him, as a man and as a physician, for he filled a large space in the medical profession and the best associates of New York. To his un- tiring efforts when in the state Senate was due the establishment of the asylum at Syracuse for the care of idiots, and he was largely interested in the House of Refuge.
"William W. Reid was born in Argyle. Wash- ington county. in 1799, graduated at Union col- lege in 1825, and studied at the Boston medical college. Hle occupied a pronunent position in the community and a respected one among his breth- ren, for his mind was acute with the elements of genius. After some opposition he obtained a com- plete trinmp !. in the method of reducing disloca- tions of the hip, which has ever since then been
known us "Heid's method of manipulation.' If the development of an original idea can be fairly as- cribed to one men it may be regarded as an ample result for one life. Dr. Reid died December 8th, 1866. .
"John B. Elwood was born in Minden, Mont- gomery county, March 3d, 1792, and, after pursu- ing his strilies both in New York and in Philadel- phia, came here in 1817 and formed a partnership with Dr. Coleman which lasted for many years. Having the much vaunted thongh rarely possessed quality of common sense, his position in the pro- fession was one that commanded the highest con- fidence. He became postmaster at a time when the salary added largely to his income. During the fierce speculation of 1836 he was alinost the only man in the city, who remained unmoved by its in- fluence, selling his property and not buying, so that, when the flurry ended, he was richer than before. In 1840 he became the owner of a planta- tion in Florida and while there he received a fall, which so injured his spine that he did not recover entirely for many years. In 1849 he was elected mayor, with practically no opposition. He never married and died May 23d, 1872, in his eighty- seventh year.
"E. W. Armstrong was horn at Fredericksburg, Canada. His education, both academie and medi- cal, was at Dartmouth and afterward at Phila- delphia. Ile moved to Rochester in 1837, after the so-called 'Canadian rebellion.' Here he con- tinned to practise medicine till 1877, dying sud- denly at the advanced age of eighty-eight years He was remarkable for his marvelously cquable temperament, which kept him unruffled by the ordinary vexations of life, and he maintained through all his forty years of practice an unsullied reputation.
"Thirodore Francis Hall, the son of Rev. Dr. Albert G. Hall, was horn at Whitehall, N. Y., October 20th. 1827. Having graduated at Union college he studied medicine and took his degree at the college of Physicians and Surgeons in New York city in 1854, beginning to practice in this city in 1856. He was the surgeon of the One Hundred and Fortieth regiment of New York volunteers through most of the war, and died March 5th, 1869. He had a cultivated mind, moved by generous impulses which carried him on to the performance of dnties that might be regarded as

faulty by excess. The attention demanded in had nothing erratic in it. His intellectuality guided caring for a patient was extended, in his case, with utter recklessness of the expectation of re- ward, which was constantly forgotten by hint- self and very often by the recipients of his care.
"Hugh Bradley was born in the county of Ant- rim, Ireland, in 1796. He pursued his medical studies in Glasgow university, where he took his degree in 1825. After practising his profession for several years in his native country, he came to America and settled in this city in 1834, where he soon attained an eminent position. He at once joined the medical sociey and continued in its membership till his death on the 6th of May, 1883.
"Freeman Edson was born in Westmoreland. N. HI., September 24th, 1791, and died at Scottsville, Monroe county, N. Y., June 21th, 1883, aged ninety-one years and nine months. He graduated in medicine from Yale college in 1814 and at once removed to Scottsville, where he practised medicine until his death, during a period of over sixty- nine years. He was a man of clear mind and posi- tive convictions, which, with his constitution of unusual endurance, fitted him for his wonderful career.
"Louis A. Kuichling was born December 29th, 180%, at Walsum, on the Rhine, and died June 4th, 1883, at Rochester, N. Y. He was the son of a physician and when graduated, although the youngest man in his class, he took the first prize in surgery and the second in therapeutics. From Wurtzberg he went to Heidelberg and thence to Paris, attending the lectures of Hahnemann, after which he practised homeopathy at Kehl. but even- tually abandoned it. Being imprisoned, and hia property confiscated, for complicity in the revolu- tion of 1848, he escaped, coming to New York and afterward to Rochester, which he made his home for the rest of his life, in the very first rank among the German practitioners in this country.
"William W. Ely was born April 30th, 1812, at Fairfield. Conn., and died at Rochester, March 27th, 1879. After graduating at Yale medical col- lege in 1834 and spending the winter of 1837 at- tending the lectures of Jefferson medical college at Philadelphia, he came to Rochester, living here for the remainder of his life. With fine talents. which were shown in a variety of ways, his mind
his pursuits, He wrote with taste, but not for publication, being restrained by the extreme mod- esty of his nature. The University of Rochester conferred on him its highest degree, and it has never been more worthily bestowed,
"Henry W. Dean was born in Madison county, N. Y., in 1818, and graduated at Geneva medi- cal college in 1842. He long filled a large space in the estimation of the people of Rochester. With a physique of remarkable personal beauty, he rdded to the graces of nature's gentility an untir- ing devotion to his duties, both in his attendance on his patients and in the study of his profession. There was nothing erratic in his mental structure. and his work was pursued with constant patience, so that his clientele was large and attached to him with uncommon tenacity. He was a contributor to the labors of the medical societies, of which he was an efficient member. He died suddenly on January 13th, 1828."
To the above sketches of Dr. Moore may be ap- pended the following :
Dr. John F. Whitheck was born in Claverack, Columbia county, N. Y., September 27th, 1812, and was graduated in medicine at the University of l'ennsylvania in 1836. After practising his pro- fession a few years in Avon and Lima, he moved to this city and entered upon a professional career of marked success. In 1862 he became surgeon of the 108th regiment of New York volunteers and served actively for one year, when ill health com- pelled him to retire. In 1866 he was appointed to the surgical staff of the Rochester City hospital. a position he filled up to the time of his death. To the poor and friendless his professional ser- vices were freely given, even at the expense of much self-sacrifice. His death occurred December 8th, 1880, in the sixty-eighth year of his age.
Dr. Edward M. Moore, without question Roches- ter's most eminent physician, was born of Quaker parentage in Rahway, N. J., July 15th, 1814. His preliminary education was obtained at the Rensselaer Institute, Troy, N. Y., and he began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Anson Coleman of Rochester, in 1835. He took his first course of lectures at the college of Physicians and Surgeons in New York city, but completed his studies in the medical department of the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in

1838. After graduation he was interne at Blockley hospital, Philadelphia, and then be- came resident physician at Frankfort any- lum for the insane, near Philadelphia. Dr. Moore came to Rochester in 1840, unusually well fitted for his day for the active practice of his profession. He early became greatly interested in surgery, for which his special knowledge of anatomy, as well as his temperament and self-reliance, peculiarly fitted him. Within four years after graduation, he was chosen professor of surgery at Woodstock, Vt. Here and at Pitts- field, Mass., he lectured for eleven years. In 1854- 5-6, he occupied a similar chair at the Starling medical college, Columbus, Ohio, and in 1858 he received the appointment to the professorship of surgery at the University of Buffalo, a position he held until 1883. Professional honors came to him rapidly. He was president of the Monroe County Medical society, of the Rochester Medical society, of the Medical association of Central New York, of the Medical society of the state of New York, of the New York State Medical association. of the American Medical association, of the Ameri- can Surgical association, of the state board of health, and of the Rochester branch of the Rel Cross society. As delegate to the International medical congress at Copenhagen in 1894 he re- ceived special recognition for his work in surgery, particularly in the field of fractures and disloca- tions. His contributions to the pathology and treatment of Colles' fractures, and fractures and dislocations of the clavicle, were original and note- worthy. It was a source of great satisfaction to him, late in his life, to have his views regarding the nature of Colles' fracture confirmed by the Roentgen ray. In his home city his confreres de- lighted to do him honor. In his later years, after the cessation of his formal lectures at Buffalo. his addresses on the subject of fractures and dis- locations before the local medical organizations were thronged by physicians, old and young, many of whom had been his pupils of an earlier time. He was an honorary member of the Rochester Pathologieal society, of the Rochester Academy of Medicine and of the Rochester Hospital Medical society. In all medical organizations with which he was connected he took a very active part, his numerous duties as a teacher of surgery, as an active surgeon and practitioner, as a consultant
