ROTH, AMOS A. – Biographies – History of Homeopathy

OTH, AMOS A., M. D., of Frederick, Md., was born near Harrisburgh, Pa., October 19th, 1846. He received
at home and in the public schools his preparatory training, and studied one year in the White Hall Academy, In 1867, he matriculated at the Pennsylvania
College at Gettysburgh. He then commenced farming, and after a brief experience in that department, turned his attention to the study of medicine, and
commenced his preliminary reading with Dr. M. Friese of Harrisburgh in 1867. He entered the Homœopathic College of New York, and finally graduated in
1870 at the Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia.

     He commenced practice in Lancaster, Pa., where he married Miss Laura G. Fritchey, daughter of Rev. J.
G. Fritchey. After a residence here of eighteen months, he removed to Frederick City, Md., where he found that he had much prejudice to contend with,
arising from ignorance of the real principles of homœopathy, and from the failures of his predecessors, whose incompetency bequeathed trouble to their
successors. In the face of these obstacles he has in three years, by merit and attention to his duties, gained a creditable position and firmly
established homœopathy.
