New York Academy of Medicine, honorary members by virtue of office or by election, and per¬
manent members elected after 4 years’ service as delegates. The annual meetings of the society
are held on the first Tuesday of February. The State Society has maintained a regular organization
from the beginning; and since 1848 its proceedings have been reported annually to the Legisla¬

Homeopathic Medical Societies may be organized in the several counties under an act of' April
13, 1857; and such have been formed in Kings, Livingston, New York, Oneida, and perhaps other
counties.2

2 The number of homeopathic practitioners in the State is
about 600, of whom 150 are in New York and Brooklyn. The
Central, Bond St., and Northern Homeopathic Dispensaries in
New York, the Homeopathic Dispensary of Brooklyn, the
Hahnemann Academy of Medicine of New York, and the Homeo¬
pathic Medical Society of Northern N. Y„ are sustained by this
class of physicians, and the North American Homeopathic
Journal, (quarterly.) the Homeopathic Review, (mo.,) and the
Homeopathic, (semi-mo.,) all published at New_ York, are de¬
voted to their interests." |
