CHAPTER XXII.
THE PIONEER PHYSICIAN IN THE COUNTY, DR. JOHN W. JENKS, OF PUNX- SUTAWNEY-THE PIONEER PHYSICIAN ON THE LITTLE TOBY, DR. NICHOLS-OTHER EARLY PHYSICIANS, DR. EVANS, DR. PRIME, DR. DARLING, DR. BISHOP, DR. A. M. CLARKE, DR. JAMES DOWLING, DR. WILLIAM BENNETT-PIONEER MAJOR OPERATION IN SURGERY IN 1821 -EARLY RIDES, FEES, ETC.
IN 1818, Dr. John W. Jenks came from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and settled in what is now Punxsutawney, where he built a cabin, made improvements, and reared a family. He was quite a prominent man, and filled positions of profit and trust. He was one of the first associate judges, and father of Judge W. P. Jenks, Hon. G. A. Jenks, and Mrs. Judge Gordon.
The pioneer physician and pioneer clergyman to settle in the Little Toby Valley was the Rev. Dr. Jonathan Nichols, who died in 1846, aged seventy one. His wife, Hannah, died in Brookville in 1859, aged eighty-two years.
Rev. Dr. Jonathan Nichols migrated from Connecticut, and settled on Little Toby, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1818. He was a preacher and a doctor. He was the first minister to preach reg-

ularly in this county ; also the pioneer physician in the northern part. The date of Dr. Nichols's first settlement in this wilderness was in 1812, on the Sinnamahoning. Dr. Nichols was a regularly educated physician, but, being of a very pious turn of mind, he studied and was ordained a Baptist minister. One who knew him well wrote of Dr. Nichols,-viz. : " He was a generous, kind-hearted gentleman, genial and urbane in his manners, with a helping hand ready to assist the needy, and had kind words to confort the sorrowing. As a physician his visits were required over a large extent of the county. As a clergyman his meetings were well attended by the people."
PIONEER MAJOR SURGICAL OPERATION.
Moses Knapp moved to what is now called Baxter in the spring of 1821, and while cutting timber he got a foot and leg crushed so that his limb had to be amputated above the knee. Dr. Stewart, of Indiana, and Dr. William Rankin, of Licking, now Clarion County, performed the amputation in the summer of 1821. Knapp that year was constable, having been elected in the spring election.
Prior to 1825, Dr. R. K. Scott settled on what is now the Cowan farm, a little east of Roseville. The doctor was a pleasant, intelligent gentleman, and at one time was in the newspaper business. Where he removed to I do not know.
About the year 1831, Dr. Alvah Evans came to Brookville and opened an office for practice. He remained but a few months.
In the spring of 1832, Dr. G. C. M. Prime came to Brookville and commenced the practice of medicine. Dr. Prime was a man of skill. He amputated the arm of Henry (Hance) Vasbinder. Inflammation and gangrene in the arm, caused by a bite on his thumb while fighting, made this amputation necessary. Dr. Prime left Brookville in 1835
In June, 1833, Dr. Geo. Darling (father of the late Paul Darling) came from Smithport, Mckean County, Pennsylvania, and located in Brookville. In 1843, Dr. Darling left Brookville and located in Ohio. He was a well-bred, intelligent, educated physician.
In the summer of 1835, Rev. G. Bishop, M. D., located in Brookville, both preaching and practising medicine. He preached regularly to the Presbyterians of Beechwoods, Brookville, and where Corsica now stands.
In the spring of 1836, Dr. A. M. Clarke (who read and practised under Dr. Nichols) located in Brockwayville and commenced to practise for and by himself. Dr. Clarke was born in Granby, Connecticut, in 1808. His father was Philetus Clarke, who came into this wilderness in 1819. After a long and useful life Dr. Clarke died, May 2, 1884, leav- ing a family and his aged wife, née Rebecca M. Nichols. The following tribute was paid him at his death by a literary friend, Eugene Miller, Esq.,-viz. :
392
PIONEER HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNA.
" Deceased was intellectually a remarkable man. Denied the advan- tages of wealth and education, he became not only a learned and skilful physician, but a literary man of high order. Books were the mine in which he delved, and from their pages he brought forth jewels of infor- mation and thought most rare. He loved poetry with an ardor words cannot express, and was not only familiar with the leading poets of the past and present, but was himself the author of a number of fragments, which show him to have been possessed of a poetic fire that, in the hands of one less modest and unassuming than he ever proved himself to be, would have made him an enduring name. His qualities of heart were no less choice than were those of his head. He was generous to a fault, and as meek and gentle as a child. Nothing seemingly gave him more pleasure than to do good to his fellow-men, and many there are who have partaken bountifully of his store. In the sick room his pres- ence was always a sweet solace, and his delicate touch almost as soothing as a narcotic. In the social circle he was ever popular, the diversity of his knowledge and the easy flow of his language rendering him a delight- ful companion. As a man and citizen he was highly respected, as was proved by the spontaneity with which his neighbors gathered about his grave and dropped a tear to his precious memory. His death, like his life, was peaceful, and the name he leaves behind is as pure as the lily and as fragrant as the rose."
Dr. James Dowling came from Mercer County, Pennsylvania, in 1841, and located in what is now called Baxter. In 1843 he removed to Brookville. In 1844 he was elected a member of the Legislature. Dr. Dowling was a little man in stature, but a " big man in head and brain." He was greatly in advance of the many theoretical, narrow-minded, bigoted doctors of his time. He was popular in his manner and pleasing in his address. His practice was extensive and his reputation great. I remember his many kind acts to me, and I cherish his memory. He died December, 1860.
Dr. William M. Bennett was married to a Miss Orilla Ralston, of Angelica, Alleghany County, New York, about the year 1818 or 1819. He lived a short time where the city of Bradford now stands. He emi- grated with his family to Jefferson County early in the year 1843, and settled on the Little Toby, in Snyder township, three miles below Brock- wayville, where he built a saw-mill and engaged in the practice of his profession. Dr. Bennett was not a highly educated man, but he had a wonderful fund of common sense, and in his career of physician was popular, successful, and useful. In his treatment of diseases he was far in advance of what was then called science in medicine. He died Octo- ber 11, 1875, and was buried at Temple's graveyard, Warsaw township, this county.
The pioneer and early doctor was a useful citizen, and his visits to the
26
393
PIONEER HISTORY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENNA.
early settlers when afflicted was a great comfort. How we all long now to see the doctor when we are sick ! These isolated people longed just the same for the coming of their doctor. The science of medicine then was very crude, and the art of it very imperfect, hence the early practi- tioner had but limited skill, yet while exercising whatever he professed for the relief of suffering, his privations and labor while travelling by night or day on horseback with his " old pill-bags" were hard and severe in the extreme. The extent of his circuit was usually from fifty to one hundred miles over poor roads and paths, swimming his horse through creeks and rivers as best he could. I have travelled a circuit of one hun - dred miles in my day. In those days every one had respect for the doc- tor, and every family along his circuit was delighted with an opportunity to extend free hospitality to the doctor and his horse.
In some of my long rides I have become so tired about midnight that I felt I could not go a step farther, when I would dismount from my horse, hitch him on the outside to a log of a log barn, slip the bridle around his neck, climb into the mow, throw the horse an armful of hay, and then fall asleep in the hay, only to awaken when the sun was an hour or two high. The pioneer doctor carried his pill-bags well stocked with calomel, Dover's powder, tartar emetic, blistering salve, a pair of old turnkeys for extracting teeth, and a spring and thumb lance for bleeding purposes, as everybody had to be bled, sick or well. Twenty-five cents was the fee for bleeding, and the amount of blood drawn from the arm was from half a pint to a quart. The custom of bleeding sick or well fell into disrepute about 1850. A town visit was from twenty-five to fifty cents, a visit in the country twenty-five cents a mile, an obstetric fee five dollars. The pioneer doctor always wore green leggings or corduroy overalls. I was no exception to this rule.

THE PIONEER MEDICAL SOCIETY OF JEFFERSON COUNTY, PENN- SYLVANIA.
On July 3, 1857, a call was published in the Jefferson Star by Drs. A. P. Heichhold and J. G. Simons for the physicians of Jefferson County " to meet at the court-house in the borough of Brookville, on the 10th of July, 1857, at 10 o'clock A.M.," to organize a medical society.
The call was responded to, and below I give the minutes of the meet- ing as published in the Star of July 17, 1857 :
" In compliance with a call to the members of the medical profession in Jefferson County, a meeting was held in Brookville and a county med- ical society was formed with the following members,-viz. : Drs.

"Dr. Simons was then called on to state the object of the meeting, which he did in a neat and appropriate manner.
" The following resolution was then offered : ' Resolved, That in con- sequence of the indisposition of a portion of the members of the profes- sion to the formation of a medical society, we deem it inexpedient to organize one at this time,' which was rejected, and a committee was then appointed to draft a constitution, and the society was organized perma- nently. The following officers for the ensuing year were then elected : President, Rev. Dr. C. P. Cummins ; Vice-Presidents, Drs. A. J. Johns- ton, M. Rodgers ; Secretary, D. A. Elliott ; Treasurer, Dr. A. P. Heich- hold ; Censors, Dr. A. P. Heichhold, J. G. Simons, A. J. Johnston.
The society then adjourned to meet at the court-house, in Brookville, on Tuesday, the 28th day of July, at 7.30 P.M.
" C. P. CUMMINS, " President. " A. P. HEICHHOLD, " Secretary."
In this same issue of July 17 the following official notice was pub- lished :
" A meeting of the Jefferson County Medical Society will be held in the court-house, in the borough of Brookville, on Tuesday evening, the 28th instant, at 7.30 o'clock P.M. An address will be delivered by the Rev. Dr. C. P. Cummins, the president of the society. The ladies and gentlemen of Brookville and vicinity are respectfully invited to attend.
" D. A. ELLIOTT, " Secretary."
" Of this lecture the Star says, in an editorial of July 31, 1857,-
" COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY .- This body held a public meeting in the court-house on Tuesday evening last, which was addressed by Rev. C. P. Cummins, M.D. The remarks of the Rev. Dr. are highly ex- tolled by those who had the pleasure of being present. The society met next morning at Dr. Heichhold's office for the transaction of business. We are glad to observe a great interest manifested in its proceedings by the physicians of the county."
The above address was published in full in the Star. The next meet- ing was publicly announced by the secretary " for September 14, at 7.30 o'clock. Dr. J. G. Simons will deliver an address, to hear which the ladies and gentlemen of Brookville and vicinity are invited to attend."
Of the members of the county medical society formed forty years ago in Brookville but two are now living,-viz., Dr. Charles Baker and the writer.
