1 There is little doubt that the village of Ludlowville, in Lansing, has the honor (if it is an honor) of being the residence about one year of Frederick Hahnemann, son of the great founder of the homoeopathic school of medicine. According to the account of Lorenzo Meyers, of Ludlowville, Frederick Hahnemann landed in New York from Germany in 1827, where he boarded a canal boat then running on the canal, by Andrew Meyers, father of Lorenzo Meyers, and was brought to " Meyers's Landing," near the site of Ludlowville. Hahnemann opened an office and practiced to some extent; but the prejudice of old school physicians finally became so strong that he left and went on westward, at least as far as Illinois, where trace of him is lost. Dr. Frederick Humphrey, formerly of Ludlowville, now of New York city (corner Williams and John streets), who has written a history of homœopathy, gives credence to the above statements.

HOMEOPATHIC MEDICAL SOCIETY.
psepared by the committee werc adopted, and Drs. Besemer, Kirken- dall and Parker were elected censors. Dr. Parker read a paper on " Infantile Hygiene," which was the first read before the society. Drs. L. W. Carpenter, Rufus Tallmadge and J. W. Brown were ap- pointed to read papers before the next meeting. Dr. C. E. Van Cleef was added to these appointments as a substitute.
The society continued in active existence until 1886, the last meeting of which there is any record having been held on February 17 of that year. The only apparent reason for its discontinuance was a lack of sufficient interest to call its members together from the various towns of the county and to inspire the preparation and reading of papers that would bring the members together.
At the meeting of October 13, 1880, a committee consisting of Drs. William Barr, L. W. Carpenter, of Ludlowville, N. K. Foster, of Dryden, and A. M. Baldwin, of Groton, was appointed to investigate the legality of the diplomas then registered; also " the right to prac- tice of either transient or permanent physicians who may hereafter locate in this county." At the succeeding meeting the committee re- ported the names of several physicians whose diplomas were of doubt- ful legality. The names of these were Drs. D. K. Allen, J. C. Wall, Ransom Johnson, E. F. Butterfield, and J. A. Northup. Nothing further seems to have been done with the men.
Dr. E. J. Morgan, jr., was chosen delegate to the State Society for 1881, and Dr. Baldwin delegate to the County Society, including the counties of Tompkins, Tioga, Broome and Cortland.
Two women were admitted to membership in the society in January, 1881, after considerable discussion. These were Mistresses H. G. Smith and M. L. W. Lacy.
In April, 1881, a committee consisting of Drs. Van Cleef, White and Parker was appointed to prepare and file articles of incorporation for the society.
In June, 1881, the following amendment was made to the constitu- tion: "We believe in, and approve of, the law of similia similibus curantur; yet that belief shall not interfere with any therapeutical opinion that any individual member may hold."
At the meeting of June 25, 1881, election of officers was held with the following result : President, E. J. Morgan, sr. : vice-president, David White; secretary, A. M. Baldwin; treasurer, J. S. Kirkendall. In June, 1882, the following officers were clected: President, David 11

White; vice-president, S. N. Jones ; secretary, S. J. Parker ; treasurer, J. S. Kirkendall.
By this time, in the history of the society, complaints were entered on the minutes of non-attendance and lack of interest on the part of the members.
For the year 1883 the following officers were elected: President, S. N. Jones; vice-president, C. E. Van Cleef; secretary, S. J. Parker; treasurer, J. S. Kirkendall; censors, D. C. Barr, S. W. Carpenter, R. Tallmadge. E. J. Morgan, sr., was appointed delegate to the State Society; S. J. Parker, delegate to the Medical Society of the State of New York; and J. S. Kirkendall, delegate to the State Eclectic So- ciety.
Officers for 1884: President, C. E. Van Cleef ; vice-president, S. J. Parker; secretary, E. J. Morgan, jr. ; treasurer, J. S. Kirkendall. Delegates same as previous year.
There is no record of an election of officers in 1885, and as before stated, the last meeting was held in February, 1886.
Regarding further details of proceedings at these various meetings, it may be added that Dr. E. J. Morgan, sr., Dr. Kirkendall, and sev- eral of the others read papers of importance to the profession, while the society, as a whole, undoubtedly contributed in a connsiderable degree to the elevation and advancement of this school of practice in the county.
Edward Jay Morgan, M. D., of Ithaca, N. Y., was born in Venice, N. Y., on June 29, 1825. His father, Thomas Morgan, of New London, Conn., died in 1836. From circumstances connected with the financial condition of the country at the time, and although having once possessed a considerable fortune, he left his family almost wholly unprovided for. His mother was a remarkable woman, and to her wisdom, fortitude and christian character the subject of this sketch owes much. He was thrown from almost the first upon his own resources. a circumstance which in after life he came to look upon as having exerted a materially beneficial effect upon him. At the age of fourteen he went to Auburn, N. Y., for the purpose of acquiring a knowledge of dentistry, in order that he might earn means sufficient to defray his expenses while at school. He was soon enabled to commence an academic course at Au- burn, which he completed at Groton, N. Y. He prepared himself to enter an advanced course in Hamilton College, then intending to join the ministry. Circumstances changed his determination, and in 1844

he went to Ithaca, N. Y., but not to cease studying. Soon after reach- ing Ithaca he commenced the study of medicine with the late Dr. J. E. Hawley, allopath, who was at that time the principal surgeon in Ithaca and the adjoining country. Having by practicing dentistry obtained the funds necessary to enter a medical college, and sufficiently pre- pared himself, he took two courses. of lectures in 1848 and 1849, at Geneva Medical College, becoming at the same time a pupil of Profes- sor Thomas Spencer. He graduated in 1850, immediately returned to Ithaca, and commenced the practice of medicine and surgery, in part- nership with his former preceptor, Dr. Hawley.
During the winter of 1855 he was called to a neighboring city to see his invalid mother, by whose bedside he met Dr. Horatio Robinson, of Auburn, the able and honored pioneer of homeopathy in Western New York. Through his influence Dr. Morgan was induced to examine into the claims of the new system, which he had been taught to regard as but the "fabric of a vision," but which, upon earnest investigation, he found to be based on a broad and solid foundation of scientific re- search. Against the advice of many of his friends he studied and adopted homeopathy that same year. But he was never an extremist. Perhaps having studied both schools tempered any undue bias he might have had. Of course he experienced at this time much of the ridicule and opposition that one naturally meets with in espousing a new and unpopular cause or science. Nevertheless, he soon built up a practice, and before many years had succeeded in converting to homœopathy many of the most intelligent and cultured people of Ithaca and the ad- joining country. His practice was one of the largest in central New York, and, in fact, few physicians have for a longer term of years en- joyed the esteem and confidence of any community. He is still sent for far and wide in consultation.
At one period he was temporarily engaged at a medical institution at Spencer Springs, N. Y., the management of the homeopathic dis- pensary being entrusted to him. His services to the cause of medicine, at the time he sought connection with this establishment, enlisted nu- merous highly complimentary testimonials from the best known of Ithacans.
In 1851 Dr. Morgan married the youngest daughter of Judge Andrew De Witt Bruyn, of Ithaca, by whom he has two children, a son and a daughter; the former is also an homœopathic physician.

Dr. Morgan's years of active practice extended from 1851 to 1893, but since 1890 his health has been breaking, though he did not retire from the field till October, 1893. And still very many of his old fam- ilies cling to him, awaiting with anxiety the result of this last and very serious illness which the past winter (1894) has taken him up to death's very door, but from which he seems to be recovering though nearly sixty-nine years of age. Dr. Morgan is an eminent surgeon. It is perhaps in the diagnosis of disease that his greatest talent lies. His judgment is swift and as unerring as direct. It has many times been said of him that he seldom made a mistake, that when he made a pre- diction it was usually fulfilled. This talent has brought him in the years past many compliments from specialists in the larger cities, and more than once he has had tempting offers to devote himself exclusively to the diagnosis of disease.
Dr. Morgan's manner and presence in the sick room is unusually pleasing. He is rarely sympathetic and gives himself as well as his medicine to his patients. Many and many a time he has been known to walk the floor till long after midnight, studying or worrying over very sick patients, when he should have been asleep.
That his health was unbroken during the strain of so many years was due without doubt to his recreation with gun and rod. He was a most enthusiastic sportsman and went a few weeks of many succeeding summers into what used to be called John Brown's Tract, a region which particularly captivated him. For he loves and knows nature in many of her phases as well as he knows medicine. The trees and birds and rocks and flowers are known to him by name and companionship and he ever delights to study their habits.
Judge F. M. Finch, the poet lawyer, one of his oldest and most inti- mate friends, wrote of him twenty years ago when in John Brown's Tract :
The doctor, first of all-
Since always first -- at early breakfast call, At floating for the dazed and wondering deer, At whipping wave and ripple far and near, At watching loon, the diver's distant wake,
At wreathing clouds of smoke, like dreaming Turk ; Or climbing granite peak, moss-grown and gray,
Scored by the storms in many a frost and fray ; And only last when Toil, bronze-armed and grand, Summoned his weary steps and doubtful hand.

THE REGISTRATION LAW.
Yet not an idler: He who wars with death,
Upon the narrow ledges of a breath, On doubtful foothold of a tremulous grasp, May idle sometimes when the summer flowers With leaf and garland crown the resting hours;
But not when low the fire of being burns, And life or death upon a heart-beat turns.
So M-, prone on the earth, his tossing hair
Loose to the tangling of the forest air-
But often, in the train of marching years, To throw the doubtful dice of smiles or tears.
Dr. Samuel L. Sibley was the first homoeopathic physician in practice, and opened his office only a few years prior to the beginning of Dr. Morgan's practice. He was formerly an old school physician. He practiced eight or ten years, when his health failed. He built the brick residence now occupied by Dr. Hoysradt; was a successful prac- titioner and a courteous gentleman. Other homœopathic physicians who practiced successfully in Ithaca were Dr. J. W. Thompson, who began a little later than Dr. Morgan, and died about three years later. Dr. Charles E. Swift was for a time a partner of Dr. Morgan, and re- moved to Auburn, where he had a large practice and died there recently. Dr. C. A. Welch, for a time partner with Dr. Morgan, was an able physician, and removed west.
The Legislature of this State has done much to advance the interests of the medical profession, as well as those of the sick, by passing laws regulating practice, protecting regularly qualified physicians, and plac- ing restrictions upon those who might be disposed to claim a profes- sional position without having graduated from recognized medical colleges. In 1872 a law was passed specifying the means by which applicants might be admitted to practice medicine, either by examina- tion before a medical society, or by attendance at some recognized school. In 1880 what has been known as the " Registration Law " was passed, which required all physicians to personally register with the county clerk their name, place of birth, proposed residence in the county, the institution or society by which they were licensed, and the date of such license or diploma. A refusal to comply with the require- ments of this law is a misdemeanor.
Under this law, which went into effect in 1880, the following named physicians have registered in the county clerk's office in Ithaca. The list is valuable for reference and preservation in case of destruction of the record book :
