ANCROFT,
A. AUGUSTINE, M. D., now of Lansing, Mich., was born in Nelson, O.,
April 26th, 1836. His father, David Bancroft, was one of the pioneers of
the State, having emigrated from Granville, Mass., in 1809. Having
passed successfully through his preparatory studies at Nelson Academy,
he completed his academic course at Western Reserve College. He
commenced his medical studies under the allopathic tutorship of Dr. John
W. Hughes, of Cleveland, O., with whom he studied two years, when he
became a convert to homœopathy. He graduated from the Homœopathic
Medical College of Pennsylvania, in 1869.Dr. Bancroft is held in
high esteem as a practitioner, and a gentleman of standing and ability
in his profession. His social position ranks high, and his character is
without stain or reproach. Although a young man, he enjoys a large and
valuable practice, in which his success is proportionate. He is a member
of the American Institute of Homœopathy, and of the Homœopathic
Medical Society of Michigan.Source
