HISTORY OF KINGS COUNTY.

DENNIS E. SMITH, M. D .- This prominent and well-known physician was born in Bethlehem, Pa., Dec. 15, 1819, being the youngest of a family of two sons and three daughters. When he was but two years old his father died, leaving his household in straitened circumstances.

The educational advantages of those days were meagre, and the lad was able to enjoy only one term of school; but with " true grit " he determined to have an education at any sacrifice. He therefore devoted his spare hours to study and reading, and in a few years had taught himself not only the English branches, but Latin also, thus early evincing the en- ergy and perseverance which have so distinctly marked his subsequent career. This habit of study he has retained through all his riper years, and thus has reared a firm super- structure of learning upon the foundation so well laid in his youth.

He early desired to become a physician, having inherited a love of the profession from his father, who was a physician before him. At the age of fourteen he borrowed and eagerly read the medical works of neighboring physicians; when six- teen he was much troubled about his lack of means to obtain a professional education, but he believed in the truth of the old Latin proverb-"Viam inveniam aut faciam"-so he reso- lutely acquired the necessary sum by the toil of his hands and the sweat of his brow. He entered his name as a student with Dr. Wooster Beach of New York City, who was then an eminent physician and the founder of the Eclectic School of Medicine. Eclecticism in medicine is a philosophy of se- lection of remedies based upon the principle of choosing only that which is proved to be safe and good. It adopts in prac- tice whatever is found most beneficial, and changes remedies according to circumstances by the light of acquired knowl- edge.

In 1846 Dr. Smith graduated from the Reformed Medical College of New York; a few years later the honorary degree of M. D. was conferred upon him by the Pennsylvania Medi- cal University of Philadelphia. In 1847 he located in Brook- lyn, on York street, in the Fifth ward, being the first eclectic physician to settle in Brooklyn. Here he remained in the active practice of his profession for seventeen years; here he is still honored and revered, while the memory of his faith- ful service and charitable deeds still remains in many a hum- ble home. In 1848 he married Miss Joanna V. Baldwin, of Newark, N. J., a lady well suited to be a poor man's wife. Of their five children a son and two daughters are still living.

In April, 1864, Dr. Smith removed to a newer part of the city, then recently built up, purchasing the house No. 131 Fort Greene place, where he still resides. In March, 1869, he buried his wife. In July, 1873, he married Miss Jane R. Bradley, of New Haven, Conn., with whom he is still living.

Dr. Smith has always loved and honored his profession. He was a pioneer in the new school, and the first in the City of Brooklyn to plant the stakes and stretch the lines of eclec- ticism over the field before occupied by the old school. His eminent services have been promptly recognized by his pro- fessional brethren, and he has been largely and influentially connected with medical associations. He was one of the founders of the Eclectic Medical Society of the County of Kings, in 1856, and has been chosen its president at two dif- ferent times. This society has since been incorporated as the Brooklyn Academy of Medicine. Ever since its forma- tion, twenty-six years ago, it has held instructive monthly meetings, at which papers on medical topics are read, and in- teresting cases reported and described. It now numbers forty members.

Dr. Smith was one of the seven physicians who signed the call to the eclectic practitioners of the state to meet in the

Senate chamber at Albany, October 10, 1863, to organize a State Eclectic Medical Society. Eighty-nine physicians re- sponded, and the society was organized with theo fllowing officers: Robert S. Newton, M. D., of New York, President; Elisha S. Preston, M. D., of Rochester, Vice-President; James T. Burdick, M. D., of Brooklyn, Recording Sec'y; Jacob Van Valkenburgh, M. D., of Charleston Four Corners, Correspond- ing Sec'y, and the subject of this sketch, from Brooklyn, was chosen Treasurer, to which office he was re-elected nine successive years, and in 1877 he was elected its President. He was one of the incorporators of the Eclectic Medical Col- lege of New York, chartered April 22, 1865, and was its vice- president many years.

Dr. Smith and Dr. H. E. Firth were foremost in organizing the Brooklyn Eclectic Dispensary in 1868, for the gratuitous treatment of the city poor by the eclectic method of treatment. The institution was incorporated May 10, 1869. Dr. Smith was elected its first treasurer and has been kept in that re- sponsible position ever since. He has also been one of its visiting physicians from the first, charitably giving his time, means and medical skill to the healing of the poor, without fee or hope of reward.

At the National Eclectic Medical Association held in Chi- cago, Ill., in 1870, Dr. Smith was elected a permanent mem- ber. He was one of the projectors of the United States Med- ical College in New York city, incorporated May 28, 1878, and also a trustee since that time. This is one of the most liberal institutions in the country, and aims to teach its stu- dents all that is known in medicine and kindred sciences.

Dr. Smith is a member of the Masonic fraternity, and has attained the Royal Arch Degree. In 1862, he was Master of the Long Island Lodge, and held that office two successive years. He officiated as Senior Deacon at the laying of this corner stone of the County Court-house. Dr. Smith has been a faithful and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church about forty-two years. He first attended the old York street church, and was a member of the building committes which erected the present substantial brick edifice in 1852. He has been an honored trustee of the church for twenty-five years. Illumined by the light of his early Christian man- hood forty years ago, his pathway through life has been like that of the just, which, " shineth more and more unto the per- fect day."

Dr. Smith has been a very successful physician and has been favored with a large and lucrative practice. He can number among his patrons many of the leading citizens of Brooklyn in wealth and influence. He excels in diagnosis, and is careful and effective in treatment. He possesses an ener- getic and persevering nature, of great executive ability, yst kindly and courteous withal.

Dr. Smith is an author also. He published, in 1867, a book of 336 pages, entitled "Leaves from a Physician's Journal," which comprises sketches of actual scenes and incidents in his own practice, and not mere pictures of fancy. It has been highly commended by the critics. He is also the author of the following monographs upon professional topics, all of which, as well as others not mentioned here, have been pub- lished in the different yearly transactions of the State or National Society :-

Pneumonia, Its Pathology and Treatment; Macrotys Race- mosa, Its Properties and Uses; Is Similia Similibus Curantur a Law of Cure? The Use of Esculus Hippocastanum, in Hemorrhoids; Asclepias Tuberosa, Its Use in Pleurisy; Chol- era, Its History, Pathology and Cure; Cholera Infantum, and How to Treat it Successfully ; Biliary Calculi, The Causes and treatment ; Spermatorrhoa, and its Effects upon the Community ; The Pathology and Treatment of Convulsions.

WILLIAM HENRY BOWLSBY, M. D., of East New York, comes of a family remarkable for longevity. He was born at Ballston, Saratoga county, N. Y., March 2d, 1828. His paternal grandfather, George W., for years kept the hotel on State street. Albany, where many of the Assemblymen boarded. He lived to the advanced age of ninety-four years; his death, even then, resulting not from sickness, but from injuries. His grandmother, who was a member of the Stiles family, reached eighty-eight years, and his mother eighty- two years; while his father, Moses Stiles Bowlsby, though a man of strong constitution, died when only forty-three years of age, of typhoid fever.

In 1838, his parents moved to Michigan; his father, a civil engineer, being engaged in the construction of the Michigan Southern Railroad. He worked for some months with one of the surveying parties (Henri L. Stuart, late of the N. Y. Tribune, was also a member of the party), and for the next six years worked on his father's farm, going to school in the winter. His evenings on the farm were employed in teaching, with his brother and sister, the adult neighbors, mostly Canadian French, to read and write English. About this tims his tastes for the healing art received their first im- pulss, through his association with a person named Conklin, who was well versed in the medical properties of roots and

herbs. By the death of his father, in 1843, young Bowlsby was thrown upon his own resources, and not liking the farm he took up art, for which he had hereditary talent, and as a landscape and portrait painter achieved fair success.

In 1850, he founded the Hudson Sentinel, a paper still published under another name. Selling the Sentinel, he engaged in daguerreotyping and photographing, though he still continued his medical studies, graduating in Philadel- phia in 1863.

During the following year, desiring to see something of the war, he took a trip, as a guest of his old friend, Gen. G. A. Custer, down the Potomac and Shenandoah Valley. At the close of the war he attended a course of lectures in New York, and finally established himself in Brooklyn. Soon after, he accepted the chair of Female Diseases, also of Dis- eases of the Heart and Lungs in the Homoeopathic Dispen- sary and Hospital in Brooklyn. He received a very flatter- ing testimonial from Dr. E. A. Sumner, the Medical Super- intendent.

In 1868, he received a diploma from the Eclectic College of New York, and in the same year opened a new dispensary, of which he was made Medical Superintendent. In 1876, he was appointed Health Officer of the town of Flatlands, (which includes Barren Island, the island being given up as a place for the manufacture of phosphates), one of the most important districts in the state. Until the doctor's appoint- ment, much trouble had been experienced from the making of this unsavory necessity, but under his conciliatory ad- ministration the manufacturers willingly complied with his

reasonable requests; and, as a result, this island, having over 1,000 population, is no longer an unhealthy place, inspiring the disgust of passers by, but is comparatively healthful. On account of other duties he resigned this position in 1883. He is an honorary member of the British Medical Associa- tion, and several other medical societies, state and local, and is examiner for the Endowment Rank of the Knights of Pythias, and also for life insurance companies. He has twice filled the office of Vice-President, and in 1883 was elected President, of the Eclectic Medical Society of the City and County of New York. In 1878, on the organization in Brook- lyn of Division No. 3, Knights of Pythias, the office of surgeon to the rank for the first time, was created, the doctor being appointed, and still holding the position.

During his proprietorship of the Hudson Sentinel he mar- ried Cornelia E. Van Aken, of Hudson, by whom he has six daughters. In 1873, he removed from Brooklyn, purchasing his present home. In the line of surgery, he has operated with entire success in a peculiarly difficult case of strangu- lated hernia ; also in removing an entire breast for cancer. Dr. Bowlsby is also a regularly constituted Examiner in Lunacy.

As a physician, he is kind and sympathetic; as a surgeon, judicious, conscientious and feeling, while firm and fearless; and to these necessary requisites are due, in a great measure, his professional and pecuniary success.

In politics and religion he is a liberal; acting, in politics, with the Greenback party, being a prominent member.
