W. E. Horner (1793-1853) taught anatomy and histology in the University of Pennsylvania, and will long be remembered for his researches in these branches. John W. Draper (1811-1882) made himself eminent as well by his researches in photography and in general science, as by the publication of his treatise on Human Physiology, which first appeared in 1853. Better known as physiologist was John C. Dalton (18251889), whose text-book is to-day studied in many colleges and who first introduced the method of vivisectional classroom demonstrations in our own school here in Buffalo.
Alonzo Clark (1807-1887) was one of the most eminent teachers of medicine that this country has produced. Austin Flint (1812-1886) was also a famous teacher of medicine in New York, who made his first reputation in the then small school in Buffalo.

His text-book on Practice is the most popular American work on the subject that has ever appeared, and is still in general use. William P. Dewees (1768-1841) was the author of a treatise upon Diseases of Children, which reached a tenth edition and which rivaled the similar treatise of John Forsyth Meigs. The best-known teacher of dermatology and venereal diseases was Freeman J. Bumstead (1826-1879), author of the most popular work upon the latter subject that has been issued from the medical press. He wras professor of these diseases at the College of Physicians in New York. His text-book vied with that produced by William H. Van Buren (1819-1883), who, in connection with Dr. Keyes (still living), wrote a treatise upon the Surgical Diseases of the Genito-Urinary Organs, including syphilis, which has been, since its appearance, exceedingly popular with the medical profession.
