OHNSON,
J. PRICE, M. D., of Hightstown, N. J., was born in Chester county,
Pa., on January 25th, 1840. The early part of his life was spent at home
on his father’s farm. He was educated at Greenwood, Del., on the
Brandywine, near West Chester, Pa., at a Quaker institution, kept by
Jonathan Gause. Making choice of the profession of medicine, he
commenced study therefor in 1862, but, owing to the unsettled condition
of the country at that time, he relinquished it in the following year,
and entered the army as a private soldier. On receiving his discharge,
he resumed his studies in the spring of 1864 in the office of his uncle,
Dr. I. D. Johnson, of Kennett Square, Pa. He attended his first course
of lectures in the session of 1864-’65 at the Homœopathic Medical
College of Pennsylvania. Finding that he could graduate by attending a
spring course at the Pennsylvania Medical University, he did so, with a
view to entering the army as assistant surgeon. The war, however, closed
about the time he graduated ; he, therefore, abandoned all idea of
joining the army, and again entered the Homœopathic Medical College of
Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1867.On receiving his
diploma, he commenced practice in Lancaster county, Pa., where he
remained for some time. Then he removed to Philadelphia. In the
beginning of 1870, he changed his residence to Hightstown. After over
three years’ labor, he finds himself in the enjoyment of an extensive
and remunerative patronage, possessing the full confidence and high
esteem of both patients and neighbors. By his earnest efforts and
untiring zeal, in connection with his successful treatment of disease,
he has won many friends to the cause of homœopathy.Dr. Johnson is a member
of the New Jersey Homœopathic State Medical Society, and at its last
annual meeting was elected as one of its censors.Source
