The evidence

• “From Castleton jMedical college, Vermont, he graduated with honors in 1853. His parents having already, in 1851, removed to Beloit, Wis., the young doctor followed them, and in that year, 1853, began the practice of medicine and surgery at Beloit. He became the leading physician here in his time, was an outspoken opponent of all quackery and sham in any forms and always maintained a high standard of professional honor and practice.”
