1854, in New York city. He was converted to homœopathy in 1856, and,
receiving his diploma from the New York County Society, commenced
practice immediately. He labored in New York city until 1861, when, his
health failing from an affection of the lungs, he sailed for Europe,
where he remained two years. On his return, in 1863, he practiced two
years longer in New York. His health continuing to fail, he removed to
Minnesota, and locating at St. Paul, commenced practice.

and other journals in the interests of homœopathy. He is a member of
the American Institute of Homœopathy, and of sundry local societies ;
