Address op the president,
before the third medical convention of ohio*
gentlemen—
,■. in selecting a subject ior the address enjoined upon thepresiding
officer of this medical convention/ it was thought
that one which treated on the climate and early history of diseases
in ohio* at, and soon after its first settlement by the whites,
püpve as interesting, if not so instructive, as that of any
other,- especially to the junior portion of the faculty* my remarks,
however, must be chiefly confined to that part of the
state which is embraced within the limits of the ohio company^
purchase, as being best known to the writer.
' that we may bring the subject into some tangible form, it
will be divided into several heads.
1st. topography, and primitive aspect of the country on the
ohio river.
