PERSONAL SKETCHES OF NUMEROUS DOCTORS OF THE COUNTY.

     The science of medicine founded away back n the days of Galen, possibly long before, has slowly made its way throught the centuries until the Twentieth Century of the Christian Era, where it stands second to no othe rone of the great sciences - the physician, the minister of the Gospel, the trained lawyer and the journalistic writer - are all now side by side in importance to thinking, reasoning humanity.
     Perhaps the medical science has made greater advancement in the last century than in all the centuries before.  The work of the trained physician and surgeon has come to be very marked - their performances are indeed wonderful and gratifying, for be it remembered however strong and robust one may be today, ere long the brow will become fevered and the heart and lungs fail to do their office work.  In health it is an easy matter to speak lightly of hte physician, but when confined to ones bed by illness, it is but natural that the good doctor be quickly summoned, that life and strength may be speedily restored.
     While there has come to be a legion of medical schools, yet all are working honestly to control disease among the masses.  In the very early days in this county there were "botanic doctors" and "cold water doctors," and doctors who bled a sick person for almost every known ailment, there has ever been the "regular" physician who being a graduate of some reputable medical college, has been on hand in almost every community to ward off disease after a scientific and successful manner.  Properly speaking, today, nearly all "schools" of medicine are coming to take on really the Eclectic plan - using what results are being obtained as the years go by.

EARLY PHYSICIANS

     Just who was the first physician to practice within what is now Carroll County is not to be determined, as no record of such things has been kept.  The newspaper files show that in 1844 Dr. A. R. Chrisholm was practicing in Carrollton and Dr. William H. Poole and  Dr. Vincent Trego (botanic) in 1858.  But as early as 1842 a card appears in the Free Press of Dr. John S. Hunter and in 1850 William H. Poole's card appears among the county seat doctors.
     Many of these pioneer physicians rode on horseback over the rough timbered country, crossing unbridged streams by day and by

Page 67 -
night, in the heat of summer and howling blasts of winter.  They usually carried their saddle-bags over their trusty horses' back and in that medicine chest were carried all that medical skill thought useful at that date to administer to the sick ones in Carroll and adjoining counties.  These remedies were not easily swallowed, if they were to be taken internally, but were sickening to the taste.  Today the various syrups and tablet form of administering medicines is much ore pleasant to the patient.
     some of the first doctors have rode a regular circuit, same as did the preaches of those pioneer times.  These circuits included probably more than a hundred miles, in which distance the family doctor had possibly a score of patients awaiting his arrival  When the roads had been made more passable then doctors had two-horse buggies to travel in.  All this has changed in the last third of a century for now the doctor is usually called over the telephone and he responds by taking his automobile, be it a "tin Lizzie" or whatever make it may be, and within an hour can generally get to any point within the county.

SOME PERSONAL NOTES
