Excerpt from A Manual of Syphilis and the Venereal Diseases
The venereal diseases are for the most part trans mitted from one individual to' another in the contacts incident to the relations between the sexes. The day is long past, however, when a moral stigma could be affixed to the victim of such a malady by reason of the, fact of infection. In the populous and crowded centres of modern civilization the innocent subjects of these dis orders are numbered by hundreds and even thousands. They are in a special sense entitled to the encouraging assistance and the sympathetic service of the' trained physician.

Excerpt from Early Medical Chicago
The fort was then occupied by fifty men and armed with three pieces: of artillery, transported thither on the U. S. Schooner Tracy, Dorr, master. This vessel did not cross the bar and enter the river, but anchored' half a mile from the shore, and discharged its freight by boats, attracting the presence of some Indians, who came to view the big canoe with wings.

Hyde was born in Norwich, Connecticut, on June 21, 1840. He was the son of Edward Goodrich and Hannah Huntington (Thomas) Hyde. He was a descendant of William Hyde who emigrated from England to Massachusetts probably in 1633 and joined the company of Thomas Hooker which founded Hartford, Connecticut.
Education
James prepared for college at Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachussets, afterward entering Yale College, from which he received the degree of A. B. in 1861. That same year he began the study of medicine in the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, but in the following summer he joined the Army of the Potomac.
Later after a course of lectures at the University of Pennsylvania he received the degree of M. D. in 1869.
Career
He engaged in the Peninsular campaign. He assisted in caring for the wounded from the battles of Malvern Hill and Fair Oaks, and accompanied a convoy of wounded to Washington hospitals, where he remained on duty for nearly a year. In July 1863, he was appointed an acting assistant surgeon in the navy and ordered to the North Atlantic blockading squadron. Later, he was placed in charge of the naval hospital at New Bern, N. C. In October 1863 he was commissioned as assistant surgeon in the regular naval service and assigned to the San Jacinto in the Gulf of Mexico. Following hospital duty at Key West, he joined the Ticonderoga of Admiral Farragut's squadron, then making a round of European ports. He resigned from the navy on February 27, 1869.
After his graduation, he went to Chicago and took up the practice of dermatology. He held the position of lecturer on dermatology in Rush Medical College from 1873 to 1876, when he was made professor of the same at Northwestern University. In 1879 he was appointed professor of skin, genito-urinary, and venereal diseases at Rush Medical College, and this position he held for the remainder of his life. For many years he was also secretary of the faculty. From 1902 to 1910 he was professorial lecturer at the University of Chicago. He made dermatology his specialty when that science was in a chaotic condition, and did pioneer work in his field. His special articles number over a hundred, all prepared with patience and care, but marred by an exuberant style and involved construction. His Practical Treatise on Diseases of the Skin, a notable work, was first published in 1883, and ran through eight editions. He was also the author of Early Medical Chicago (1879). In 1905 was secretary for America of the Fifth International Dermatological Congress. He was attending dermatologist at the Presbyterian, Michael Reese, Augustana, and Children's Memorial Hospitals, and to the Orphan Asylum of the City of Chicago.
Aside from his professional activities, he was one of Chicago's most prominent citizens, taking an active part in all movements having for their object the social or economic improvement of the community.
He died suddenly at his summer home at Prouts Neck, Me.
