| The subject of this sketch, who is a successful and popular physician at Miami, Saline County, Missouri, is a native of the township in which he resides and was born on the 29th day of May, 1841. He received his education in the common schools, supplementing this by attendance at the University of Iowa, where he graduated in 1871. Having determined to adopt the medical profession as his life's work, he matriculated in the College of Physicians and Surgeons at St. Louis, where he was graduated in 1883. In 1861, at the inception of the Civil War, he enlisted in the Federal army, joining the Ninth Missouri Cavalry Regiment. Prior to enlisting, the subject had been pursuing the study of medicine with Doctor Dunlap of Miami as preceptor, and after serving in the army a short time he was made hospital steward which position he held until the close of the war. The regiment of which he was a member performed most of its service in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas and also served as body guard for Governor Gamble. They performed much arduous service, participating in several battles and a number of skirmishes. The subject was mustered out at St. Louis in 1865 and received an honorable discharge. ...Excerpted from The 1910 Saline County History. | |

 | Copy: Forty-five years ago I was called to attend one boy aged 4 years and two girls, aged 5 and 6, who had eaten corn bread with powdered glass in it. The bread had been prepared to kill rats. I gave an emetic, followed in one hour by boiled potatoes, till the stomachs of the children were filled. In one hour I gave castor oil. The potatoes were expelled by rectum thoroughly mixed with fine glass. The children all recovered without any untoward symptoms. A. H. W. Sullivan, MD, Miami, MO | |
