GALLUP, Joseph Adams, physician, born in Stonington, Connecticut, 30 March, 1769; died in Wood-stock, Vermont, 12 October, 1849. He was graduated at Dartmouth medical school with its first class in 1798, and practiced his profession in Hartland and Bethel, Vermont, until 1800, when he removed to Woodstock. Dartmouth gave him the degree of M. D, in 1814. From 1820 till 1823 he was president of the Castleton medical College, and its professor of theoretical and practical medicine. In 1827 he established a clinical school of medicine at Woodstock, which was incorporated as the Vermont medical College in 1835, and in 1827-'34 was a professor there. His first writings were printed in 1802 in the "Vermont Gazette," a paper published in Windsor, and attracted much attention. His other publications were "Sketches of Epidemic Diseases in the State of Vermont," to which are added "Remarks on Pulmonary Consumption" (1803, republished in London) ; "Pathological Reflections on the Supertonic State of Disease" (1822), and other pamphlets; and "Outlines of the Institutes of Medicine" (2 vols., Boston, 1839).
