FULLER, MILTON, M. D., of
Boston, Mass., was born in Westmoreland, N. H., January 5th, 1799 He is the
son of Noah Fuller, a farmer of that place, and grandson of Noah Fuller, a
prominent physician in his day. He was brought up on a farm till the age of
eighteen, and during these years devoted much time to acquiring such
education as the district schools afforded. Agricultural pursuits proving
incompatible with his tastes, in 1817 he left home and embarked in a
mercantile business in Keene, N. H. After a fair trial he determined that a
professional life would best accord with his tastes and aspirations, and he
entered the Chesterfield Academy to obtain a literary and classical
education prior to entering upon the study of medicine. After two years of
assiduous application in these necessary branches, he removed to the city of
Boston, and became a pupil of Dr. Solomon D. Townsend, at the Marine
Hospital in Charlestown, Mass. He attended two full courses of lectures at
the Medical College connected with Harvard University ; also two
courses by Dr. Ingolls of Brown University, upon anatomy and surgery. These
advantages, coupled with three years’ experience in the hospital, fitted him
for the practice of his profession. He married in 1823, and commenced
allopathic practice the same year in the town of Scituate, Mass., where he
remained until 1841. In this year he became a sincere convert to the
doctrines of Hahnemann. He immediately removed to Medford, Mass., where
success awaited him in the establishment of a large and lucrative practice.
But a wider and more important sphere was destined to secure his valuable
services. In 1855, upon the urgent solicitation of numerous friends, and
influenced too by family reasons, he removed to the city of Boston, and was
soon laboring earnestly in a still more extensive and superior practice. He
was elected a member of the American Institute of Homœopathy in the first
year of its existence, and, in 1860, was elected President of the
Massachusetts Homœopathic Medical Society. It is only necessary to add that
his social and moral worth is commensurate with his professional rank and
attainments. He is an able advocate of the homœopathic system ; the
thirty-one years he has so faithfully devoted to its practice having served
to confirm the wisdom of his choice.
