After spending some time in the hospitals of London and Edinburgh, he went to one of the West India Islands, whence he came to this country, and settled in Brooklyn in what was then the village of Williamsburgh (1823). He became a convert to Homœopathy in 1840 or 1842, of course cutting himself off from all communication with his former associates, but gaining increased success in his practice. He joined the Institute in 1847. After practicing in Brooklyn about thirty years, he had an attack of paralysis, and, after lingering about two years, died November 11, 1853.

He graduated at the Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago in 1879, and began the practice of medicine at Burlington, Wis., the same year. He was practicing here. when he joined the Institute, in 1890, at its session at Waukesha. In 1891 he removed to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he remained till his death, March 22, 1893.

CHARLES CULLIS, M.D.

The following sketch of Dr. Cullis has been furnished by his friend, Dr. Henry C. Houghton, of New York: Dr. Cullis was born of English parentage in Boston, March 7, 1833. He left school at an early age in order to go into business, having to contend with adverse circumstances as well as the tendency to phthisis. In January, 1854, he was under the professional care of Dr. O. S. Saunders, and in March of the same year he began the study of medicine under his care and direction. He attended lectures at the University of Vermont, where he graduated in 1858. He went into practice with Dr. Saunders, and remained with him till 1861, when he opened an office in the same street.

At the outset of his professional career his attention was drawn to the condition of patients afflicted by the dread disease, consumption, who were too poor to employ a physician, and were removed from place to place till they gravitated to the county hospital to die. As early as 1862 he consecrated himself to his life-work, to secure a home where the indigent consumptive could have proper care and Homœopathic treatment. A house was purchased and fitted up, additions subsequently made, and finally houses were established in different localities. In May, 1873, Dr. Cullis visited similar institutions in Germany and England, and soon after his return he was known as a "faith healer;" and while he gave medicine to those who desired it, he thought entire trust in the power of the Holy Ghost the better way.

Dr. Cullis was married in 1860 to Chastina Morse, who died about two years afterward. His second wife was Mrs. L. A. Reed, who survives him with one son and two daughters. He died June 18, 1892, of general anasarca and exhaustion. He became a member of the Institute in 1859, and, continuing such, was a Senior at the time of his death.

Island Medical College, in 1850. He began the practice of medicine, in 1850, in Oswego, Ill.; thence he went to Joliet in 1852; remained there till 1869, when he removed to Chicago. He practiced here ten years, and went to Milwaukee, where he continued till his death, June 4, 1891.

He was captain of cavalry in 1861, and, as such, served eighteen months. He then received the appointment of surgeon of the 134th Illinois Volunteers, and afterwards was medical director.

He was Professor of Surgery in Hahnemann Medical College of Chicago from 1869 to 1876, and Professor of Gynecological Surgery in the Chicago Homoeopathic Medical College from 1876 to 1879. He has contributed largely to our periodical literature, and for three years was associate editor of the United States Medical and Surgical Journal. He joined the Institute in 1870, at the session held in Chicago.

JOHN JAMES DRYSDALE, M.D.

Was born in Edinburgh, in 1817. After a general education in France he entered on the study of medicine at the University of

Edinburgh, where he was a pupil of Dr. Fletcher's. He graduated in 1838, and was admitted a licentiate of the College of Surgeons the same year. With his friend, Dr. Rutherford Russell, he visited Leipzig, attended the Homœopathic Dispensary there, and thence went to Vienna. Here he was an almost daily attendant, for nearly two years, of Fleischman's Hospital, in the Leopoldstadt. In Vienna he met Dr. Dudgeon and formed a friendship which afterward united them in doing so much useful work for our school.

He returned home thoroughly assured that in Homœopathy lay the scientific basis of therapeutics, and openly declared his so-called heretical views. He had letters from Dr. Simpson and others speaking of him in flattering terms and as having "distinguished himself academically," but also as having "recently been in Germany and imbibed some of the new notions promulgated there." He was proposed as member of the Liverpool Medical Institution, and read a paper on the subject of Homœopathy, which was warmly discussed. Among those present at this meeting was Dr. Chapman, of London, who had already begun the study of Homœopathy, though he had not practiced it. In 1841 Dr. Drysdale opened the Homœopathic Dispensary, which was the nucleus of the Hahnemann Hospital.

In 1849 Liverpool was visited by a severe epidemic of cholera, and the successful treatment of Dr. Drysdale and others caused great interest to be taken in the subject of the new system throughout the town and accession to be made to the number of Homœopathic practitioners. Instead of leading the other medical men of the town to examine the method of Dr. Drysdale, it, as in other places, stirred up their wrath, and though they could not turn him out of the Liverpool Medical Institution, they passed a law that any one practicing Homoeopathy should be ineligible for membership. This was but one of several struggles for freedom of opinion in which Dr. Drysdale was engaged. It was but the beginning of a controversy such as invariably leads to a more careful study of the system and final adoption of the practice of Homœopathy. The incidents in the professional life of Dr. Drysdale are eras in the history of Homoeopathy, not only in Liverpool but throughout England, and in fact not limited to that country.

In 1842, during a visit to Edinburgh, in a conference with Drs. Russel, Francis Black, and Samuel Brown, the publication of the

British Journal of Homoeopathy was determined upon, and in January, 1843, appeared the first number of this periodical, which for forty years was the able exponent of our school, during thirty-five of which Dr. Drysdale was the senior editor. Of his contributions to this journal and literature in general, or his active personal connection with everything having for its object the promulgation and advancement of Homoeopathy, any statement here would seem to be a work of supererogation.

In the sketch of his life published in the Monthly Homœopathic Review Dr. Pope gives a list of his principal works. These are not exclusively medical, but embrace all the natural sciences. Many of his essays have drawn the attention of the scientific world to them on account of their originality. The Rev. Dr. Dallinger, his friend and associate in his scientific research, writes to Dr. Pope, that he was a student "without the shadow of a prejudice. I have seen him absolutely jubilant at the discovery of a new fact which his previous knowledge had compelled him for long to hold (doubtful?). He was absolutely devoid of conceit. He thought of himself only as a means of knowing truth and doing good, and in scientific research he was unsparing of himself and, untiring in his efforts; he never flagged when once he was convinced he had taken a true path of enquiry."

Dr. Drysdale died August 20, 1892.

HENRY GALE DUNNELL, M.D.

Was born in Albany, N. Y., September 17, 1804. He came to New York about the year 1817. He graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York in 1825, in the same class with Drs. John F. Gray, Lewis Hallock, Benjamin F. Joslin, and Walter C. Palmer. He was on friendly terms with these physicians, and voted with them in favor of a public and recorded examination, but was strongly opposed to their medical dogmas. Early in 1840, when called from the city, he left one of his patients in the care of Dr. Alfred Freeman, by whom, to his surprise, she was cured. On inquiring the method, he was informed it was by Homœopathic remedies, which led him to study the system and, as the result, he soon avowed himself a Homœopathist. He was interested in the different societies that were established in the early days of the
