CHAPTER XX.
The first homeopathic physician to locate in Dayton is believed to have been Dr. A. Adams, in 1841. The next was Dr. Henry Wigand, who came in 1847, and remained until 1858, when he sold out his practice to Dr. W. Webster, and left Dayton for three years and returned in 1861. He again practiced in Dayton five or six years, when he died of some affection of the heart. Dr. Jacob Bosler, after a practice of twenty-five years as a regular physician, became a convert to homeopathy in 1849, (page 536) and followed that system of practice the rest of his life. Dr. Webster was the next homeopathist to locate in Dayton, and a brief sketch is here appended...
Joseph E. Lowes, M. D., received his early education at the common schools in Canada, and afterward at the high school at Brantford, Canada, graduating at the latter school when he was fourteen years old. He then studied one year with an eminent Irish teacher, named Moore, and at the age of sixteen commenced reading medicine with Professor H. C. Allen, a resident of Brantford, Canada, but at the same time a professor in the Homeopathic Medical College, at Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Lowes was in attendance at this college three successive winters, reading medicine during the intervening summers at Brantford, with Professor (page 537) Allen. In 1868, he graduated from the college at Cleveland, and almost immediately commenced the practice of medicine in Dayton, Ohio, in partnership with Dr. Bosler, the second homeopathic physician to practice in this city. Dr. Bosler died a few mouths afterward, and since then Dr. Lowes has continued in practice here alone. He has always been successful, and as a consequence has had all extensive practice. His only public positions as a physician have been that of physician at the Dayton workhouse, to which position he was chosen in September, 1888, and that of United States pension examiner, to which he was appointed in the spring of 1889...
The Montgomery County Homeopathic Medical Association was organized June 14, 1860. A call had been issued a short time previous by Drs. J. Bosler, William Webster, and E. W. Bosler, of Dayton, Ohio, for the homeopathic physicians of this section of the State to assemble in Dayton for the purpose of organizing such an association for the good of the cause, and for the mutual benefit of all physicians who might take all interest in the sane. The following physicians answered the call by their attendance upon the meeting: Drs. J. and E. W. Bosler, W. Webster, and George Dick, of Dayton, Dr. W. A. Scott, of Eaton, Ohio, and Dr. M. Appleby, of Hamilton, Ohio. Dr. J. Bosler was made chairman of the meeting, and Dr. E. W. Bosler, secretary. It was then resolved to name the new association the Miami Homeopathic Medical Association, and following officers were elected: Dr. W. A. Scott, president; Dr. M. Appleby, vice-president; Dr. George Dick, recording and corresponding secretary, and Dr. William Webster, treasurer. Dr. A. U. Blair, and Dr. Star, of Columbus, Ohio, were made honorary members. The next meeting of the association was held December 13, 1860. At this meeting a constitution and by-laws were adopted, and the association permanently organized by the election of the following officers: President, J. Bosler; vice-president, M. Appleby; secretary, George Dick; treasurer, W. Webster; censors, W. A. Scott, E. W. Bosler, and J. J. Antrim. For sonic time the meetings of the association were held at various places, as at Hamilton, Middletown, and Glendale, but for a great number of years they have been held iii Dayton. There are two meetings each year, one in May and the other in November, the latter, at which the officers of the association are always elected, being called, by way of distinction, the annual meeting. At the meeting held in Dayton, on the fifth of November, 1868, the name of the association was changed from that first adopted to what it is now, the Montgomery County Homeopathie Medical Association. This step was rendered necessary by an act of the legislature which required physicians to have been in practice twenty years, to be graduates of some medical college, or to have membership in the State or some county medical society. The Miami Homeopathic Medical Association being a district association could not, under this law, grant certificates to physicians, and hence it resolved to convert itself into (page 539) a county society. This step was taken and the name changed as just narrated, and the association was thus enabled to issue certificates to non-graduates, or to such physicians as had not been in practice twenty years. Elegantly engraved certificates were provided, for which each applicant paid to the association ten dollars. The certificates were procured by Drs. Webster and Coffeen, and Dr. G. W. Smith procured a seal for the association. Dr. William Webster was authorized to procure a charter for the association, which was incorporated in November, 1871...
