GARDNER 426 GARLICK was "not an efficient man," and treated his second son in the same fashion because he became a Unitarian, and gave most of his property to the children of a sister, who had married a Hallowell, on condition that her children should change their name to Gardiner. He was devoted to the Church of England, was a warden in King's Chapel, Boston, gave money for its communion wine and endowed with money the church in Gardiner, Maine, within whose portals can still be seen a monu- ment to his name and fame. He was very de- vout, prayed much, and composed a book of "Devotions," published in London in 1785. Copley has painted Gardiner with a clean shaven face, heavy jaws and mouth, a domi- nating nose, and full eyes, crowned with rounded eyebrows. Underneath the engrav- ing of that portrait in "Frontier Missionaries," by Bartlett, 1853, is his signature, "Your Very Humble Servant — Silv Gardiner." A skilful reader of faces, however, can read in those words the meaning that by humility overdone, he was to increase his domination over those with whom he came in contact. He married thrice, first, Ann Gibbins, daughter of Dr. John Gibbins (as Gardiner spells it in his will), secondly the widow of William Eppes of Salem, and last, Katharine Goldthwaite, who slirvived him. He had six children, and as has already been said, he left most of his property to the children of his sister Hannah, who were to change their name in perpetual memory and honor of their famous grandsire, Dr. Silvester Gardiner of Boston, New England.

Gardner, Augustus Kinsley (1821-1876) Augustus Kinsley Gardner of New York was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, July 31, 1821, one of three children and the only son of Samuel Jackson Gardner and Mary Bellows Kinsley. His maternal grandfather was the first representative to Congress from Maine and was judge of the Court of Common Pleas. After attending the grammar school in his native town, he studied for three years at Walpole Academy, and later at Phillips Academy, at Exeter, New Hampshire, when Benjamin Abbott was its president. He went to Harvard, where his father and his maternal grandfather had graduated, and was a mem- ber of the class of 1842, but left at the close of his junior year to take up the study of medicine, graduating M. D. from Harvard in 1844 with a thesis on "Syphilis." The Uni- versity gave him an A. M. in 1852. He worked two years in the Marine Hos- pital, Chelsea, Massachusetts, under George W. Otis ; eight months in the Poor House and Lunatic Asylum, South Boston, with Charles H. Stedman, and at the Vermont Medical School under Bigelow, Holmes, Storer, Rey- nolds and J. B. S. Jackson. In 1844-45 he visited Europe, and while there wrote "Old Wine in New Bottles; or. The Spare Hours of a Student in Paris." Returning to America, he settled in New York City, where he held the office of attending physician to the City Dispensary and to the Northern Dispensary for six years, and to the Lying-in Asylum District for several years. For three years he had charge of the Private Hospital, Bloomingdale. During the Civil War, when the blockade prevented medicine reaching the residents of the chills and fever districts of the South, Gardner made a protest at a medical conven- tion in New York and proposed that quinine and other remedies be permitted to pass the Federal lines. The motion was lost, but credit was given him for his kindness of heart and boldness. He was the first to propose drinking hy- drants or fountains in New York, and the first in New York to give chloroform in labor. Among his writings are : "Essays on Swill Milk," "Report on the Meat of New York," translation of Scanzoni's "Diseases of the Sexual Organs of Females, with additional and original matter." He wrote much for hoth medical and general journals. He invented a guarded crochet, and modifi- cations of vectis, crochet, and craniotomy for- ceps. He married Anna Louise Hidden of New York, June 27, 1850. He was a Unitarian. He died in New York, April 7, 1876. Med. & Surg. Rep., S. W. Francis, 1866, vol. xv. 313-316. Garlick, Theodatus (1805-1884) On March 5, 1805, Theodatus Garlick was born in Middlebury, Addison County, Ver- mont. His father, though a poor farmer, was respectably connected, and probably furnished his son with as good an elementary education as his situation afiforded. In July, 1816, when only eleven years old, in company with an elder brother, Abner, he walked from his home in Vermont to Elk Creek (now Girard), Pennsylvania, where his oldest brother, Rodolphus, had settled some six years before and was occupied as a blacksmith. The boy remained with his brother Rodolphus for some
