This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

Henry Handerson was born on March 21, 1837, in Orange, Ohio, United States, the son of Thomas and Catharine (Potts) Handerson. When he was two years old, his father died and he and his sister were adopted by an uncle, Lewis Handerson, a druggist of Cleveland.
Henry's childhood was that of an invalid, so that his schooling in Cleveland was much interrupted. In 1851 he was sent to Sanger Hall, a boarding school at New Hartford, New York, but was compelled to leave because of his health. Shortly after, his foster father moved, with his family, to Beersheba Springs, Tennessee. Upon the latter’s return to Cleveland in 1854, Henry entered Hobart College, Geneva, New York, where he received the degree of A. B. in 1858. In 1861 he entered the medical department of the University of Louisiana (later Tulane University), but his studies were interrupted by the Civil War. At the age of twenty-eight he resumed his medical studies in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, where he was graduated M. D. in 1867.
Following the bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1861, Henry Handerson took up tutoring in a Southern family, joined a company of plantation “homeguards, ” and on June 17, 1861, enlisted in the Stafford Guards, later Company B of the 9th Regiment of Louisiana Volunteers, commanded by Col. Richard Taylor, son of the former president, Zachary Taylor. Handerson served the Confederacy continuously during the war, and despite a gunshot wound and an attack of typhoid fever, he rose steadily in rank to the grade of major and adjutant-general of the 2nd Louisiana Brigade. In this capacity, he was captured by Northern troops on May 4, 1865, and remained a prisoner until June 17, 1865.
Handerson engaged in the practice of medicine in New York until 1885, when he returned to Cleveland, to remain there to the end of his life. His contributions to medical literature include a number of effective sketches in Howard Kelly’s Cyclopcedia of American Medical Biography (1912), his Gilbertus Anglicus: Medicine of the Thirteenth Century (1918), and a series of articles on the sanitation, vital statistics, diseases, and medical history of Cleveland. All these evince the careful, accurate quality of his work.
From 1894 to 1896 Handerson was professor of hygiene and sanitation in the University of Wooster. When in the latter year the medical department at Wooster became the medical department at Ohio Wesleyan University, renamed the Cleveland College of Physicians and Surgeons, he transferred with it and remained ten years. He eventually retired from practice, became totally blind about 1916, and died on April 23, 1918, from the effects of cerebral hemorrhage.
Henry Handerson made his mark as a contributor to medical history by a scholarly paper, published in 1883 as The School of Salernum: An Historical Sketch of Medicezal Medicine. This was followed in 1889 by his well-known Outlines of the History of Medicine and the Medical Professor (1876), translated from the German of Johann Hermann Baas, to which he added much interesting matter of his own, relating to English and American medicine. This translation became widely known and remained the authoritative textbook on the subject in this country for a whole generation. It gave him a high and justly deserved reputation in a subject little cultivated at the time.

Handerson was a member of the Cleveland Academy of Medicine, the Ohio State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. He was president of the Cuyahoga County Medical Society in 1895, and a founder of the Cleveland Medical Library Association and its president from 1896 to 1902.
Handerson was highly esteemed as a physician of acute mind and reliable character and had many affiliations and friendships both North and South. In person he was tall and dignified, with the quiet, unassuming, genial manner of the gentleman and the scholar.
Handerson was twice married: on October 16, 1872, to Juliet Alice Root, and following her death, to Clara Corlett of Cleveland, June 12, 1888.
