Member Medical Society of the County of New York; Member Brooklyn Pathological Society; Honorary Member Medical Section Imperial University of Kharkof, Russia; Medical Superintendent Sunnyside Private Hospital for Diseases of the Nervous System and Mind, Inebriety and the Opium Habit.

The normal activity of the vesicular neurine of the brain is the occasion of all our mental capabilities and powers.
