Notes |
Joseph Meredith Toner, M. D., was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, April 30, 1825. He received his classical education at Western Pennsylvania University and at Mount St. Mary's College, and graduated at Vermont Medical College in 1850, and at Jefferson Medical College in 1853. After a short residence at Summitville, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, he settled at Washington, District of Columbia, in 1855. He was one of the founders of Providence Hospital and of St. Anne's Infant Asylum, to both of which he was for some years visiting physician. Since 1856 he has been attending physician to St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum. He was president of the American Medical Association in 1873, and of the American Health Association in 1874. He was a vicepresident of the International Medical Congress in 1876, and a vicepresident and registrar of the Ninth International Congress in 1887. He has devoted much time and research to early American medical literature, and has collected more than one thousand treatises published before 1800, and has in preparation a "Biographical Dictionary of Deceased American Physicians." In 1882, he gave his entire library, consisting of twenty- eight thousand books and eighteen thousand pamphlets, to the Government of the United States, to be known as "The Toner Collection," and this library is now a portion of the Congressional Library, though it is required by law to be kept separate, and treated as rare books. |
