Excerpt from Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal and Reporter, Vol. 1: August, 1861-July, 1862 I have selected as a subject, My Retrospections of Medical Practice in Bufalo. This subject suggests itself as not inappropriate, and I trust it will lead to a train of remark not entirely without interest. A much broader subject would be my retrospections of Buffalo, including matters which relate not alone to medicine, but to medical politics and personal experiences in connection with different members of the medical profession. It would not be fitting on this occasion to embrace these in my reminis cences, since they would involve references to events and persons, which might not be acceptable to all. This more comprehensive view of the sub jcet I must reserve for a. Different occasion, and a date farther removed than the present from the period over which my retrospective history extends. My purpose now is to confine myself to matters pertaining to the practice of medicine, and if I am led to speak Of particular events or persons, it will be in a manner to which no one will be likely to take excep tions.
