Resolved, That it is expedient to apprize the public of the existence of small pox in this borough, and that inas- much as this body retains undiminished confidence in vac- cination, this mild and safe preventative be strongly recom- mended in all cases deemed liable to the infection of that loathsome and too often fatal disease.


Resolved, That the students in medicine of Berks county have permission to attend the meetings and deliberations of this body.


Resolved, That one hundred copies of the constitution and by-laws of the Medical Faculty of Berks county be printed in pamphlet form, under the superintendence of a committee consisting of Drs.

On motion, Resolved, That the president deliver an ora-, tion in public as soon as may be convenient, in the name and on behalf of this faculty.


The faculty adjourned to the next stated meeting on the first Saturday in October next, at 7 o'clock, P.M.

The charter was approved by Frederick Smith (of Reading), then attorney-general of Pennsyl- vania, on June 3, 1824 ; and by William Tilghman, Jolin B. Gibson and Thomas Duncan, judges of the Supreme court, on June 4, 1824.


Dr. Hiester, upon assuming the duties of the office to which he was unanimously chosen, deliv- ered an admirable address to the faculty. Among other things, he said that this organization was the first of the kind in Pennsylvania, excepting the College of Physicians and Medical Society of Phil- adelphia.


This society continued to exist, hold regular meet- ings and annually send representatives to the State Medical Society for a period of twenty years. On Feb. 23, 1850, the society was reorganized and the name changed to the "Medical Society of the City of Reading and the County of Berks," with the object of cultivating the science of medicine in all its collateral branches, to elevate and sustain medi- cal character, to encourage a system of profes- sional etiquette and to promote mutual improve- ment, social intercourse and good feeling among the members of the medical profession. No person could become a member of this society unless he were a graduate of some recognized medical col- lege. In 1866, the name was changed to Berks County Medical Society. In 1867 it took the first steps toward establishing a public hospital at Read- ing, which eventually culminated in the Reading Hospital.


The society was disbanded in 1870, with a mem- bership of thirty-seven. This dissolution grew out

of a factional fight over an attempt to expel one with other professions as witnesses in a court of of its prominent members. The one faction, num- justice; and in that same year, the delegates to the bering twenty-two physicians, immediately after the dissolution, on the same day (Nov. 22, 1870), assembled at the office of Dr. John B. Brooke, No. 44 North Fourth street, Reading, and organ- ized another society entitled "Berks County Med- ical Association." The names of the organizers were as follows:

After a temporary organization, a resolution was passed to the effect that the new society be formed for mutual improvement in connection with the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the Amer- ican Medical Association. . The constitution and by- laws were adopted at a meeting held Jan. 3, 1871; and a permanent organization was effected by elect- ing William Moore, president; J. S. Ammon and James M. Matthews, vice-presidents ; W. Murray Weidman, recording secretary; J. B. Brooke, cor- responding secretary ; D. A. Ulrich, treasurer ; Ed- ward Wallace, J. A. Brobst, De B. Kuhn, censors; and Joseph Coblentz, curator.


The name was then changed from the Berks ever since. The membership in 1909 was 100.

meetings be held bi-monthly and a business meeting should alternate with a meeting for the discussion of topics relating to the profession.


At the meeting of the society held in Stauffer's Hall (the meeting place at that time and for several years afterward) March 7, 1871, Drs. S. L. Kurtz, D. A. Ulrich and Edward Wallace, a committee appointed to represent this society at the annual meeting of the State Medical Society at Philadel- phia, reported that they had gained recognition board of censors had approved of the society's con- stitution and by-laws.

In 1875, the place of meeting of the society was changed to the office of Dr. J. B. Brooke.


State Society were instructed to favor a resolution, in connection with other county societies, that no member should admit into his office a student of medicine until he presented a certificate showing his educational qualifications; which the State So- ciety adopted. Shortly afterward, they encouraged the movement relating to the registration of all practising physicians, which culminated in the pas- sage of the Act of June 8, 1881, which required every practitioner to register his name and qualifi- cations in the prothonotary's office.


In 1880, the society first started lectures on special topics, and on Sept. 7th, Dr. E. H. Coover, of Har- risburg, delivered a lecture on "spinal curvature."


In 1881, the meeting place of the society was changed to the Reading Library, where it remained for several years, and then it was removed to the council chambers temporarily. The subject of per- manent quarters was then discussed and a commit- tee (consisting of Drs. Cleaver, Bachman and Keiser) was appointed to make the necessary in- quiries, not only for a meeting place but also for a "Medical Library," which had been earnestly advo- cated. In the course of their inquiries, Dr. John B. Raser, druggist, voluntarily offered a room in his store building at Sixth and Walnut streets, sec- ond story front, free of rent for an indefinite time, and this offer the society gratefully accepted. The quarters were then established in the Raser building and the meetings have been held there regularly

been held at Reading in 1849. Then the local so- John B. Brooke, D. ciety had a membership of twenty-six.


Two of the presidents of the State Society had been selected from the Berks County Society : Dr. John P. Hiester, in 1853 ; and Dr. Edward Wallace, in 1862.


Since the organization of the Society in 1870, the members have held annual banquets in January and outings in August, which have been distinguished for their literary excellence and true sociability.


The membership in 1909 numbered 87.


READING MEDICAL ASSOCIATION was organized May 27, 1850, with the following physicians as its first officers :


President, William M. Gries ; vice-president, John P. Hiester; recording secretary, Edward Wallace; corresponding secretary, L. L. Stewart; treasurer, Charles H. Hunter.


The meetings were not held regularly until 1867; then, on July 30th, a third re-organization having been effected, a new constitution and by-laws were adopted. Its meetings have been held ever since at the same places as the county society. The mem- bers are practising allopathic physicians of Reading and the surrounding towns. Membership in 1909 was 65.


THE PATHOLOGICAL SOCIETY was organized May 10, 1871, with the following physicians as its first officers :


President, D. L. Beaver; vice-presidents, Martin Luther, B. F Bunn; secretary and treasurer, M. Albert Rhoads.


The members constituted the other faction of physicians upon the disbanding of the "Berks County Medical Society," and they kept up its meet- ings for nearly twenty years. During this time, the bitter feeling, shown in such a marked manner in 1870, had entirely subsided and the surviving members had gradually identified themselves with the "Medical Society of Berks County."


ALLOPATHIC PRACTITIONERS .- The names of the allopathic physicians of the county, with college and year of graduation, are presented herewith in alphabetical order; and they have been classified as at Reading, in the boroughs, and in the several sections of the county.
