It will be found, upon study of election returns, that all parts of Madison county are for suffrage except West Jefferson and London. While the best citizens of these localities are in favor of equal suffrage, there are elements of the baser sort in favor of the liquor interest and enough others whose votes may be bought "to swing any election," to use the words of the political student. The method used in Adams county should be brought to bear upon this class of voters. It is the only one which will ever reach them. Against the manufacture and sale of liquor the moral sense of the people -the voters-should prevent them from becoming the tools of the "interests" in the cities, where brewers use every scheme to influence the vote in the rural districts, not excepting the church.
During the twenty-one years existence of the Woman's Elective Franchise Associa- tion, a great growth of favorable sentiment has taken place in Madison county as well as the world at large. It is rare to find one entirely ignorant on the subject, and this club has endeavored to spread knowledge by distribution of literature and by bringing speakers on the subject of woman's suffrage into the towns.
"The History of Woman Suffrage," in four large volumes, has been presented to the public library, also a framed portrait of Susan B. Anthony, one of the great leaders in the cause. A copy of "Everywoman," the state official publication, and of The Woman's Journal, Boston, the leading suffrage paper of the world, will be found at the library, presented by this club, as well as other literature. Where objection to women voting exists it will be found owing to a lack of information on the subject of the great good accomplished by women in those states where they have the ballot. Of course there is a small class who have given ground for the saying: "Convince a fool against his will and he'll be of the same opinion still."
Owing to ill-health, Mrs. Sharp was compelled to give up membership in other clubs, but recognizing that women can accomplish little without the same tool used by men, the vote, she has devoted her chief interest to the acquisition of this benefit for her sex. Having a love of nature, she has spent a portion of her time in making a classified collection of the flora of the county, including the grasses, sedges, and certain of the fungi. Her latest book, "Summer in a Bog." relates to her botanical work and is highly spoken of by the reviewers. Some of her other books are "Eleanor's Courtship and the Songs That Sang Themselves," "The South Ward," "The Doctor's Speaking-Tube" and "Sonnets for Women." She has written much anonymously and short articles on the suffrage question appear frequently from her pen. A brochure, "Woman Suffrage and Anti-Suffrage," was circulated widely in 1912.

Although great growth in equal suffrage sentiment has taken place in London, there is room for much more .. A cordial spirit of welcome should greet the women who have the courage to come forward as candidates for the school board. There is room for the special service of a woman's intelligence in matters concerning education. Hitherto, book-learning has often turned into the world a helpless, inefficient class of graduates who despise domestic industries, ignorant of home-making and the hygienic production of food.
Practical training in culinary and domestic matters, also a measure of manual training with those implements most commonly used in ordinary life, as well as train- ing in agriculture, with practical experience in the school garden, should all have place in the education of the young. And since the rest of the world have found women to be valuable on the school board, why should London lag behind?
The Woman's Elective Franchise Association welcomes all honorable disciples of the suffrage canse who wish to enroll in its ranks.
TWENTIETH CENTURY CLUB. By Maud Berry Bonner.
The Twentieth Century Club was organized in 1898 and was federated in 1900. It was composed principally of a few ladies who were real home women; women of fam- ilies and regnlar homekeepers, women who had been debarred from literary work. This club weekly expected to review books and this they did for abont two years. In the meantime a name was to be given it; several were proposed and "Twentieth Cen- tury" was selected. The following officers were then elected: President, Mrs. Kate Han- son ; first vice-president, Mrs. M. C. Lohr; second vice-president, Mrs. Clara Pierce; secretary, Mrs. Cora Henderson; corresponding secretary, Mrs. F. N. Gardner; treas- urer, Miss Mayme Jones. The charter members are, Mrs. Kate Strain, Mrs. Kate Hanson, Mrs. Mary Florence, Mrs. S. L. Turner, Mrs. Riley Watson, Mrs. Clara Pierce, Miss Josie Lohr, Mrs. J. Lohr, Mrs. Mary Dungan, Mrs. Isa Dungan and Mrs. F. N. Gardner. In the past seventeen years of onr existence its membership has been extended throughont town and county, although some have resigned; some have moved to other localities and some have been called to the Great Beyond, namely, Mrs. Mary Florence, Miss Kate Byers, Mrs. Carrie Arbuckle and Miss Mayme Jones.
"Farewell ! A little time. and we Who knew thee well, and loved thee here, One after one shall follow thee; As pilgrims through the gates of fear, Which opens an eternity."
There are at present twenty-seven active members of the Twentieth Century Club and the drift of the studies has been literary. historical and miscellaneous subjects ; during the past year studying Shakespeare's "As You Like It," taking np the different studies each year with progressive enthusiasm; at the same time never forgetting that "the time is never lost that is devoted to work;" also enjoying a time set apart for feast days. The officers of the club at the present time are as follows: President, Mrs. Thorressa Moore; first vice-president, Mrs. Anna Bryan; second vice-president, Mrs. Belle Linson ; recording secretary. Maud Berry Bonner; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Placier; treasurer. Miss Emily Blue.
A woman cannot do the things she ought; which means, whatever perfect thing she can-in life, in art, in science; but she fears to let the perfect action take her part and rest there: she must prove what she can do before she does it.

MADISON COUNTY HEALTH AND WELFARE LEAGUE.
. By Mrs. A. J. Strain.
The Madison County Health and Welfare League is an incorporated body having for its object the bringing about of better health. for the citizens of London, by holding up before her people the more sanitary ways of living, the better housing of her people, the caring for the sick, and the social and moral uplift of her inhabitants. It is a new organization, far-reaching in its ideals.
Miss Anna Johnson, a district tuberculosis nurse, was the first one to advocate the forming of a health league. She asked for the co-operation of the federation of clubs, but the president, Mrs. Clinton Morse, wisely and judiciously decided that it should be an organization composed of both men and women, and referred the matter. to the health department of London. Dr. H. J. Sharp, health officer at that time, called several mass meetings which were addressed by Miss McNamara, a district nurse of Columbus; Miss Johnson, the promoter of the idea, and Mrs. Annie E. Rumer, a social worker of Chillicothe. The permanent organization was perfected in January, 1915, and is offi- cered as follow : President, Dr. H. J. Sharp; first vice-president, Mrs. A. J. Strain; sec- ond vice-president, Mrs. M. E. Dwyer; secretary, Dr. . E. F. Rosnagle; treasurer, Mrs. Harry Barker; board of directors, Mrs. Clinton Morse, Mrs. Lee H. Williams, . Mrs. Gideon Clark, Mrs. A. J. Strain, Mrs. Charles Cheseldine, Dr. Effie B. Koontz, Dr. H. J. Sharp, Judge Frank Murray, Mr. E. S. Gordon, Dr. J. F. Kirkpatrick and Dr. E. F. Rosnagle.
The county commissioners at a recent meeting gave the league the privilege of using the property left the county for a hospital or an old ladies' home by the late Miss Bertha Coover, and an emergency hospital and welfare house will be established on said property as soon as the league can make the necessary arrangement for proper build- ings and the maintenance of same. A "better babies" contest was held at the county fair grounds. on Thursday, August 26, 1915, the third day of the county fair. Eighty- eight babies between the ages of six months and five years were entered. The sweep- stake prizes went to June Rea Chenoweth, the two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Austin Chenoweth. and to Thurman Russell Snyder. the two-and-one-half-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Snyder, the averages being ninety-eight and ninety-eight and one-half. respectively. ' Dr. Effie B. Koontz, superintendent in charge of the "better babies" contest, merits much praise for the very efficient manner in which she managed this contest. She and her co-workers. Mrs. Lee H. Williams, chairman of the scoring committee, and Mrs. Gideon Clark, chairman of program, were indefatigable in their work, and were largely instrumental in making the contest a successful feature of the fair. Miss Mabel Smith, an experienced nurse and social worker, has been in London for four months, averaging some seventy calls monthly.
The work of the Health and Welfare League promises big results for the future, and it no doubt will. in years to come prove a blessing and a benefaction to the citizens of London and Madison county.
LONDON FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS. By Mrs. A. J. Strain.
This organization was perfected on April 7, 1913, on which date the three literary clubs of London, realizing that better work might be accomplished. and more activities taken care of, by co-operation, decided to join forces. The East High Street Club, the oldest literary organization in London, took the initiative and invited the Woman's Club and the Twentieth Century Club to meet with them in a mass meeting at the court bouse. Mrs. A. P. Morris and Mrs. Frank Cussins, members of the Altrurian Club, of

MADISON COUNTY, OHIO.
Columbus, were present on this occasion, and both spoke of the splendid work being accomplished by the federation of Columbus. It seemed quite fitting that Mrs. Clinton Morse should be chosen the first president of the London federation, as she had long been imbued with the club spirit, and was the one to bring the federation idea to Lon- don, having worked under the first general federation president, Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Brown, of New Jersey. Mrs. Morse was also the founder of one of the oldest clubs in New Jersey, the El Mora Literary Club, of Elizabeth, which club was organized in 1886. She was one of the organizers of the Woman's Club and a charter member of the Fortnightly Civic Club. The other officers were: Recording secretary, Mrs. Charles Gain; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Ralph Coons; treasurer, Mrs. Peyton Emery; audi- tor, Mrs. Sherman Simpson ; vice-presidents, Mrs. Frank Noland, of the East High Street Club ; Mrs. John Parker, of the Woman's Club, and Mrs. B. F. Linson of the Twentieth Century Club.
Since its organization a number of social clubs and two church societies have joined the London Federation of Woman's Clubs, so that eight organizations, numbering more than two hundred women, are now banded together for social and welfare work, civic improvement and club fellowship.
The London federation, in its short existence, has proved a power for good in the community. The first great achievement of which the members feel justly proud, was the beautifying of the grounds around the high school. Under the efficient chairmanship of Mrs. Lee Williams. the entire federation, with Mrs. Sallie Robison at the head of committee on ways and means, worked as a unit, until the last payment of the one thousand and thirty-five dollars, the contract price, was paid. A community Christmas tree was arranged in 1913 for the benefit of all the children in London ; another splendid one in 1914 and a Christmas dinner, consisting of all the delicacies that constitute a real Yuletide feast, were given under the anspices of this organization. with Mrs. Clinton Morse and Mrs. John R. Tanner, chairmen, thereby proving that the members are interested in the social and moral uplift of the community.
The crowning activities of the past year have been the work accomplished by the educational and civic committees. The former. with funds solicited by the committee. has sent four girls to normal school. thereby preparing them for positions as teachers in the schools throughout the state. The committee which brought this worthy project to fruition was composed of Mrs. Neva Chenoweth. Mrs. A. J. Strain. Mrs. Horace Jones, Mrs. Minnie Cheseldine, Mrs. Scott Chenoweth and Mrs. Frank Warner. The civic committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. John Parker, has done a wonderful work in the beautifying of London, and in interesting the school children in garden- ing and flower raising. Prizes were awarded to forty children for the best display of flowers and vegetables and much interest was manifested. A recent home talent enter- tainment. "Fi Fi." given under the leadership of Mrs. Gideon Clark, chairman of the ways and means committee, was staged for the purpose of helping a new and worthy organization in our midst and the entire proceeds were given to the Madison County Health and Welfare League.
It became necessary a few months ago to make the federation an incorporated body. in order that it might be a beneficiary under the will of the late Miss Bertha Coover, that grand. noble, self-sacrificing woman having bequeathed to the federation the sum of seven thousand dollars for the purchase or erection of a club house. A board of trustees was elected as follows: Mrs. Peyton Emery, Miss Sallie Dooris, Mrs. J. R. Atchison, Mrs. William Chandler, Mrs. Clinton Morse. Mrs. A. J. Strain, Mrs. Robert Moore, Mrs. Charles E. Gain, Mrs. Frank Noland. Mrs. Martel Bryan and Mrs. Ogan Stroufe. The officers of the club at the present time are as follow: President, Mrs.

Sallie K. Robison; recording secretary, Mrs. Ida F. White; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Frank Noland; treasurer, Mrs. Martel Bryan.
The beautiful Dixon home on North Main street was purchased by the federation, in the early summer of 1915, and henceforth will be the club home, not only of this organization, but of the societies and clubs of which the federation is formed, as well as two or three not included in its membership.
The London Federation of Women's Clubs is a power for good in this community, and while so much has been accomplished in the short two years of its existence, greater, nobler, grander achievements are being hoped for by the members in the years that are to follow.
MARRIED LADIES THIMBLE CLUB. By Mrs. E. C. Spitler.
The members of the Married Ladies Thimble Club take pride in the fact that theirs is the oldest sewing club in London. The first meeting . was held at the home of Mrs. Ormond Bryan and the club was properly organized about January, 1899. Some time later Mrs. J. F. Ganschow suggested the use of printed calendars, which since have been issued each year.
The first officers were: President, Mrs. Ora Vance; vice-president, Mrs. Ella Jones; secretary, Mrs. Earl Hathaway.
The club has grown in membership from twelve to thirty. The members meet once in two weeks, spending the time in attending to business, sewing, and elaborate refresh- ments are served.
The following served as officers during 1913-1914: President, Mrs. Ella Shough; first vice-president, Mrs. Allie Chenoweth; second vice-president, Mrs. Addie Rowlen; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Olga Spitler: recording secretary, Mrs. Minnie Chesel- dine; treasurer, Mrs. Estella Dodds; assistant secretary, Mrs. Grace Bryan.

CHAPTER XXVIII.
THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
It is presumable that the many different isms and systems of practice that have prevailed here have prevailed in common elsewhere throughout the country, but it may not be amiss to state that, owing to the scarcity of physicians and the difficulty that the early settlers of Madison county experienced in attaining the wherewithal for a quid pro quo when they were obliged to employ them, cheaper systems of practice were introduced by charlatans. One of these was the system of "steaming" the patient. The practice was to place the patient in bed, closely covered. Then a large kettle of water was placed over the fire, in the open fireplace, with a close fitting lid, through which a long tin spout was inserted. When the water began to boil, the farther end of the spout was thrust under the bedclothes and all the generated steam was thus turned on to the patient. A large portion of the families through the country had their steam kettle and tin spout. An old settler recalls the story of an old woman over in the Darby plains who sent for a "steam doctor," and who was really very ill. She did not live many hours after the "doctor's" arrival, and when they came to "lay her out," they found her parboiled. The skin slipped from her body like the skin from a boiled eel.
Upon the heels of this system came the Thomsonian, or botanical system. For this system they sold "family rights." Their different preparations were numbered and labeled. No. 1 was good for one thing, and No. 2 for another thing. Their favorite number was "No. 6." To take a teaspoonful of it one would think he had made a mis- take and got No. 60. capsicum, or Cayenne pepper, being the chief ingredient. "Doctor Gunn," a work on domestic practice, was placed on the table by the side of the Bible and "Fox's Book of Martyrs." But this was a great improvement over the "steam doc- tors." No. 6 and lobelia, as universal panaceas and specifics, however. have had their day. A lobelia doctor was called up at Milford. in the palmy days of lobelia and No. G. to see a very nice little woman. a bride of three months, who was moderately sick with milk-sickness. He prescribed a lobelia emetic. He told her to stick her finger in her throat to aid the emetic. It is likely it did to some extent, as she died in two minutes. from collapse. But a new light has dawned, More rational systems now prevail, and the main differences now existing, exist mostly in the names. Under the laws of Ohio now, all practitioners are required to be graduates of some regularly chartered col- lege: and most of the physicians of Ohio, and all in Madison county, are reasonably well qualified for the responsibilities and requirements of the calling.
LONDON PHYSICIANS.
Dr. Simon Steers, the first resident physician in London, probably came from Jef- ferson county. Ohio. Ile lived on the John Thompson land. on the north side of the road, near where the lane came on from Israel Dalby's house. He was a lame man and under size. William Wingate. of Union township, north of London, is quoted as having heard him called "Little old Doctor Steers." Doctor Steers arrived at that farm, west of London, abont 1810, and probably died in this county. Dr. Samuel Balderidge, who came about 1811, was the second physician here. He was also a Pres- byterian preacher and was long remembered by the old citizens with a moderate degree

of respect. When he left London, about 1820, it is thought he went over about Cam- bridge, Ohio. Doctor Blount located here for a short time in about 1814. He was from Massachusetts and probably from Boston. He married a Miss Donlin, who lived on the west side of Deer Creek, in Deer Creek township, on the James Wilson farm, and nearly opposite his residence.
Dr. Aquilla Toland was born on September 26, 1793, in Harford county, Maryland. He was a pupil of Doctor Luckey, of Baltimore, and, after one course of lectures in the University of Maryland, he came West and located for a time at Franklinton, near Columbus, and in 1819, located in London. He was graduated from the Cincinnati Medical College in the year 1837, after he had been for eighteen years a practitioner here. In 1843, he was elected by the Whig party to the state legislature. He was tall, portly, dignified, of a somewhat austere demeanor, but extremely gracious and cour- teous, and courtly to his colleagues. He never had occasion of jealousy toward them, for they were compelled to be respected, and as for practice, he always had more than he properly could attend to, his practice extending beyond the limits of the county. The business about Midway was divided between him and Dr. Joshua Martin, of' Xenia, and he was the one relied on in great emergencies for twenty miles around in all directions. He always rode on horseback, and looked like a very knight errant, he sat a horse so gracefully. In the summer season he generally returned late at night, when he returned at all, and, in riding through the tall prairie grass and in unbeaten paths, he would usually return wet to the waist by the heavy dews. Dr. Aquilla Toland was the Nestor of the profession at London for forty years, both in medicine and surgery. He died at London, of erysipelas, December 30, 1866, aged sev- enty-three years, leaving a large estate. He married, April 11, 1822, Elizabeth Lewis, of London, Ohio, who long survived him.
Doctor Scott was at London for several years, from about 1820. While there he married a Mrs. Gregory, from Oldtown, Ohio. Doctor Eastman was here probably as early as 1820. Dr. Seeley Waite also located at London as early as 1820. Old inhabi- tants long remembered him as an elegant gentleman. He married Clara Phifer, sister of George Phifer. His widow married Lewis Crane, and after the latter's death, mar- ried William Vance, of Champaign county, Ohio, brother to Governor Vance, of Ohio. Doctor Waite died in Springfield, Ohio. in about 1822. Doctor Gage came to London in about 1820, but lived there only about three years. Dr. Robert Martin, whose brother, Dr. Joshua Martin, was in practice at Xenia, located here about 1822.
AN IMPULSIVE DISCIPLE OF AESCULAPIUS.
Doctor Raiff, a German, located at London about 1823. He was an eccentric, fiery, impetuous, but educated physician. Many anecdotes characteristic of the man are still extant. It is recalled that he rode like a whirlwind. It is said of him that one Delashmutt. down on the glade, once sent him a formula after which he wanted him to make him some pills. The doctor flew into a passion and said: "Cot tam him. Vat's dat? Some bills? He no dink I un'erschtan how to make bills. I make him bills. I show 'im." The pills were sent and Delashmutt lived just two hours. Doctor Raiff had carried Schuler McDonald through the milk-sickness. When the patient was conval- escent, the doctor cautioned him repeatedly about guarding his appetite. The doctor presently was sent for in great haste, and upon reaching McDonald's home found his patient dead. He ascertained that death had been caused by the immediate indulgence of the appetite in a plate of bacon and cabbage. The old doctor again lost his temper and going to the corpse, he caught it by the nose. Tweaking that member violently, he said : "You eat cabbitch. ha ! Cot tam you, eat cabbitch again mit bacon, vill you; as much as you blease now !" and mounting his horse, was off like a rocket.
356
MADISON COUNTY, OHIO.
Dr. John Warner, a twin brother of William Warner, a former sheriff of the county, located here for a time, about 1825. He subsequently went West, and died at Pekin, Ill. Doctor Craig was also here for awhile, about 1825. Doctor Grover was also here about 1825. Dr. Joseph Anthony, brother to Gen. Charles Anthony, of Springfield. Ohio, came to London about 1831 or 1832. He was a lame man, but large. portly and prepossessing. He was remembered best, however, by his having a printing press, upon which he printed sacred hymns and such like literature as was in demand. Doctor Herriman came here about 1834. Ile married a Miss Mitten, somewhere beyond Jefferson, in the Darby country. Dr. David J. Maulsby, born in Fredericktown, Maryland, came about 1835; practiced here until about 1842 or 1843, and returned to Maryland. He became quite irregular in his habits, but was a good practitioner when not in his cups. Dr. Denmis Warner was a pupil of his for a while.
Dr. Dennis Warner, son of William and Susan (Matthews) Warner, born in Uniou towiship, Madison county, Ohio. May 19, 1818, commenced the study of medi- cine in 1838, under Dr. David J. Manlsby, and afterward with Dr. Aquilla Toland. He began the practice of medicine and later, March 2, 1847, was graduated from Ohio Medical College at Cincinnati. He was married, November 10, 1847, to Mary Chenoweth, daughter of John F. and Margaret (Ferguson) Chenoweth. born in Madi- son county, October 10, 1829. Dr. James M. P. Baskerville, of Range township. studied medicine, but did not practice to any extent. He was scholarly, and devoted to the dead languages and the exact sciences. He also read medicine with Doctor Toland. Dr. Alfred Jones practiced at London at one time. Dr. Enoch Thomas, an eclectic and a man of more than ordinary ability, about 1842 left London to go to Cleveland. Dr. Lewis was in London about 1842, and Dr. Jehial Gregory came in about 1840. Dr. William A. Strain. son of John C. and Margaret Strain, born in 1813 in Greenfield, Ohio, studied medicine with Doctor McGarry, of Greenfield, Ohio, located at Mt. Sterling, this county, about 1837. About three years later he moved to London, where he remained until 1865. when he removed to Greenfield, Highland county. the place of his birth. He was graduated from Starling Medical College with the class of 1852. Shortly after commencing practice he married Mary G. McMillen. daughter of William McMillen, of Greenfield, Ohio. Doctor Thomas was here as a partner of Dr. William A. Strain in 1859. Ile moved to California, this county, in about 1860, and died there in 1861. He was a partner, while there, of Dr. O. G. Field. He married, about 1860. a daughter of Sylvanus Bates. Dr. James Allen married, first, Betsy Russel ; second. Martha Reyburn: was more identified outside of the county, but was a highly respected gentleman and a good physician-much above the average. He read medicine with Dr. A. Toland, moved to Darbyville and returned to London in 1859.
