"BENJAMIN RUSH, MD,
Professor Of Chsmistry in the University Of Penn


"PHLADsLrHA, April 30, l7s8."


At that early day the degree Of Doctor of Medi-
cine was not publicly conferred by this institution
the only one in this country. The same wear the
doctor entered on the duties of an arduous profes
sion at Greeneastle, and pursued the practice Of
medicine and surgery with great energy and high
reputation until some ten or twelve years ago when
he In great measure retired from the daily routine
OF business. From that period Of time until the
close Of his earthly career, in green old age" he
dedicated his time chiefly to the intricate con-
Germs Of the important sur
gical cases and TO consultations.


Few men have enjoyed more largely of the pub
lie confidence in this community, and no one GER
talnly deserved It more as q surgeon than Dr. Nc
CLELLAs. Surgery was essentially his forte: a good
knowledge OF anatomy, a sound and discriminating
judgment, steady hand, and vigorous nerve, were
all united in him. Never Disconnected he was
dexterous operator As an instance Of his intrepid
ity and skill as an operator, it may be mentioned
that so early as 1905 he extirpated the parotid
gland-an operation that nearly twenty years after,
was regarded by the most eminent surgeons living
as entirely impracticable. But other important
cases also signaLzed him a surgeon-he had, in
deed, performed most Of the capital operations in
surgery These, however, will be spoken of in their
legitimate place, as constituting part of his profess
sional biography.


For integrity, honor, and benevolence, he en-
ioyed deservedly elevated reputation, exhibiting,
IN all their loveliness and simplicity, the nobest
qualities of the heart more sincerely affection
ate, unostenatious, or honorable man lived not in
this county.
