History of Homopathy
EWIS, GEORGE WASHINGTON, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y., was born in Auburn, N. Y., March 24th, 1847. He was educated in Pittsfield, Mass., and when twenty-two graduated at the New York University. He immediately settled in Buffalo, where he has continued in the practice of homopathy. A large, constantly increasing, and substantial patronage has rewarded his skill and fidelity, and he is firmly planted in the affectionate confidence of the people He is remarkable for his independence and originality, and has never sought influence through any society or organization ; but relying exclusively upon his success in his practice, has earned the reputation of one of the most skilful and popular men of his profession. His keen discrimination in diagnosis has excited the wonder of his friends.
Much of the success of Dr. Lewis may be attributed to his extremely genial manner. Carrying sunshine with him into the sick room, it is thought that his mirthfulness has accomplished as much good in many cases as his professional skill ; his wealth of humor and anecdote being always at his command, and used with judgment.
