STONE, John 0stood, physician, born in Salem, Massachusetts, 1 February, 1813" died in New York city, 7 June, 1876. He was graduated at Harvard in 1833, and at the medical department there in 1836. After hospital experience in London and Paris he began practice in New York city, identifying himself with many medical charities and scientific organizations, and attaining eminence in his profession. He was long a surgeon at Bellevue hospital, but resigned in 1857 on account of his extensive private practice. In 1866 he was a member of the first Metropolitan board of health, and subsequently its president, in which connection his services relative to the sanitary condition of tenement-houses and in the management of quarantine were of great value. Dr. Stone published many surgical papers, including "Amputations and Compound Fractures, with Statistics" (1849) ; "Treatment of Suppurative Inflammation of the Joints" (1852); " Necessary Amputation of the Lower Extremities" (1854) ; and "Ruptures of the Heart."
