of Charity Hospital, and in 1873 became Consulting Surgeon to Char- ity Hospital. He was one of the most active founders of the Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1861, and has been its Professor of Ortho- pædie Surgery from that time to the present. He was also one of the founders of the New York Academy of Medicine, as he was also of the New York Pathological Society and the American Medical Asso- ciation. He was elected Vice-President of the American Medical Association in 1866, and its President in 1880. In January, 1860, he was appointed Resident Physician of the City of New York by Mayor Fernando Wood, and was continued in office under Mayor Opdyke. Mayor Gunther, and Mayor Hoffman. He issued a series of remark- able annual reports dealing with the utmost freedom and boldness with the sanitary problems of the city. He continued to urge a leg- islative enactment for compulsory vaccination, denounced the con- dition of the streets and sewers, was equally severe in exposing the condition of the tenement houses, which rendered them " pest-holes that breed typhoid and typhus fever," and gave a practical demon- stration of the then disputed fact that Asiatic cholera is a contagious disease and amenable to proper quarantine precautions. With the medical authorities of surrounding cities declaring that the disease was epidemic, and attempts to quarantine it a waste of energy, he prevailed upon the New York City Government to establish a strict quarantine against the infected ship which entered New York Bay, and was subsequently able to report : " The cholera, which has arrived within our harbor, and has been so near our shores within a few weeks past, was anchored in the bay, and detained there." This was accom- plished in the face of the fact that the city " was ripe for its reception. with its filthy streets, its overcrowded tenement houses, its obstructed sewers, the decaying animal and vegetable matter, and with the peculiar condition of climate, ready to spread its infectious influences into an epidemic." He advocated the establishment by the Federal Government of a uniform quarantine system on every coast and frontier of the country. But in orthopaedic surgery Dr. Sayre estab- lished an international reputation. In 1854 he achieved the dis- tinction of being the first American surgeon to perform successfully the extremely delicate aud complicated operation of the removal of the reed of the femur. The fame of his repeated and successful per- formances of this operation spread to Europe. Other original and unique work followed. Visiting Europe in 1871 he found himself recognized as the master in his chosen department. He was invited to lecture on hip-joint disease and demonstrate his method before many medical societies. He became an honorary member of the Brit- ish Medical Association, the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Edin- burgh, the Surgical Society of St. Petersburg, and the Medical Society of Norway. For his services in Sweden, including attendance upon a member of the royal family, King Charles IV. created him a Knight
